ok, you didn't flash the gapps zip file eh?

my suggestion. stop using rom manager until you have a better grasp of how to flash & what is required to flash.

1) download the cm6(.1) version of your choice

2) download the gapps zip file from 10/25

3) boot to recovery

4) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache

5)flash the cm6 version you downloaded, & flash the gapps 10-25 zip you downloaded

6)reboot & sign in to google like you normally would.

hope that helps.

you can probably just download & flash gapps file from where you are currently, without causing any problems. ymmv

in an effort to prevent your next post here is the gapps file

Thank you man, means a lot, you and a few others really are the good guys. It's rare for people to have the kind of patience you few exhibit (even when being "short" with people ;) ).

As for the low post count, I try to help people as many people as I can (usually over on the cyanogenmod forums, seems like I'm able to do more good there), and I try to never ask a question because I know given enough time I WILL get it fixed (kind of like not asking for directions when lost :D).

Maybe I'll start quoting my last post every few pages in hopes that it will ease the frustration and make things easier for everyone trying to help. :)

What do I do if I flash a new nightly after I have flashed the .35 kernel? Does it flash the stock CM kernel or do I have to flash .35 kernel at the same time to not get bootloops.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
yes the cm6 kernel comes with the rom. only flash .35 again if thats what you want to use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wojosama:
I think you may be confused. As far as kernels are concerned, the only time you should get a bootloop is when coming from Snap w/ Turbo enabled, in which case you'd need to do a data wipe/factory reset. From what I know, no other time should a kernel give you a bootloop when replaced and require being reflashed.

Also, as drdrew said, flashing any ROM will overwrite any custom kernel you have installed and replace it with the ROM's stock kernel.

however, i wanted to ask any of the themed MULTI-TOUCH KEYBOARD users, did your letters on the keyboard get extremely small on the last build or two?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
No, the Angry Birds issue is a known issue even on the stock ROM. You have to install it without the memory card in the phone. I'm not sure if you can just go into settings and unmount the card and then remount it when you're done, but I just removed it, installed, and then put it back in. Worked for me.

I only have a few posts.....I have a grasp on reality. I just don't post on here because I have enough experience with Android (from being a Samsung Moment Beta Tester) to know what CAN, probably WILL, or MIGHT cause an issue...and how to fix it. With all of the beta testing I did on the forsaken Moment....I have been burnt out on it. However I am running CM6.1 Nightly from 11/03. Will be installed 161 in a few. Any news on HDMI or 4G?

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Sorry, I thought I covered all of the things you are asking for in my posts numerous times, but I'll do it again.

I am having the sorting issue in Contacts under CM6.1 RC1, CM6 Nightly 160 with the stock kernel and with other kernels. In other words, all the time. It allows me to change the sort order but the change doesn't take.

Yes, I did full wipe before flashing CM6 and wiped caches if I flashed any kernels.

I will try wiping the data caches in applications as you suggest. Yes, I did use Titanium to restore and that might be the problem since apps and data were backed up from a Sense Rom previously.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
So my battery life issue with CM6.1 #155 and toast 0.35 has been resolved. First it was the email program that for some reason was taking up tons of partial wake time until I changed it from push to 15 minute intervals. Then it was widgetlocker for some reason, a reboot fixed that one.

I got about 15 hours yesterday with minimal usage for the most part, and when I plugged it in I had about 45% battery. So I'm on pace for 24+ hours under moderate usage. Not using Juice Defender at the moment, and this was overclocked to 1036.

One issue I'm still having is using Launcher Pro. It seems that about 1/3 of the time I hit the home button to go to my homescreen, Launcher Pro has to redraw my icons and widgets, which takes probably about 750ms or so. Really annoying. Anyone experience this? Maybe it's a LP issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
That's unlike Gmail's push, which works server-side, the Email app (when sent to Push) keeps a constant constant connection with the server, eating up the battery and CPU. It's the same thing on the iPhone, for example. That's how Push traditionally works. When using the Gmail app, Google's servers automatically push any emails to you, which is how Blackberries work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sender581:
I'm having the same issue since Fri (11/12) and cant figure out what's going on.

I'm running Damage Control 3.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Thanks for this info; I definitely thought that email app push was the same as Gmail or BB push. How retarded.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
This sounds like a memory lock problem. Have you selected "Keep launcher in memory" in CM settings? This should prevent it from closing, which is why those icons and widgets redraw themselves ... its reopening the launcher. If this is checked, have you checked the same setting in LP settings? If it is checked, this could conflict with CM's manager, so make sure it is not checked.

Other than that, the only thing I've had historically that cause that kind of problem is AutoKiller set too high or a Task Killer without keeping LP in memory. But really, why would you have either of those? Hopefully the above ideas should resolve the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Thanks for the thoughts. I'm not using a task killer. The CM setting for keeping home in memory was checked, and the setting in LP to keep in memory was not checked. So the settings seem to be exactly what you're proposing. I switched them (CM -> off; LP -> on) and I'll see what happens. So far I haven't been able to get it to redraw but it's only been a couple minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Hmm yeah, maybe that'll work. I did think of something else ... if you have messed with the Memory Usage Settings in LP, that could potentially cause the same problem. If the problem persists, you may try messing with those settings. Good luck. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dorkdotcom74:
Thanks for the info guys. Yes I did get bootloops from toying with the snap kernel didn't know that wasn't an issue with others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Thanks. I did change the heap size slightly but nothing else. Regardless, switching those settings did at least fix it 90%. Still haven't gotten it to redraw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Or not. Still happening but not as frequent. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] davenukem:
I really miss CM, i'm hoping you guys are working hard on 4g. Hopefully it is understood that when 4g hits... the amount of people on sense roms is going to drop exponentially.

Ok guys sorry about this as I know I've seen this before and can't find it again (a 4.3in screen seams big till 30-40 pages) can someone help me with the darn dialer killing my battery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Is anyone noticing any lag when shuffling between home screens and the app drawer? I've been running CM6.1 for a little over a week and half. I have tried toasts test kernel and both zen kernels hopping that it would run smoother, but negative. Still really laggy. So now I'm wondering if it has to do with ADW? Maybe one of my settings is causing this. Anyways anyone have any advice on getting silky smooth?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
FWIW when I had 7 LP screens set up with several widgets I got a bit of lag. You may want to use System Panel or something to check your memory/CPU use and see what it is.

Exchange Calendar

I have been noticing that my exchange calendar entries are showing up twice on my EVO. I am running 6.1 RC1 but believe I had the same issue on 6.0 stable release. I cant seem to put my finger on the cause as it only happens sometimes and a reboot usually clears it up. Has anyone else seen this or know what is causing it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
are you running it natively or another app? i have gotten double contacts,entries, etc and entries and usually go into accounts & Sync to check it out.

true, however in certain areas with "4G" there is significant network speeds advantages over other areas, so call it what you want, but i will take it! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xpanmanx:
I know how to fix it. Use applications manager to force stop, then clear data for calendar and calendar storage. Wait for a resync and all will be better.

I made the switch from BS 9.7 to CM nightlies on Thursday. I can tell you with no hesitation that the battery life isn't as good, but it's not terrible either. I'd say it's around halfway between stock and Baked Snack. That said, froyo is HARD to give up once you make the switch and CM6 is a great implementation :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:

Hmm , granted I only used the CM for a little bit and didn't have time to set in...I think you're about the only one who says its the best battery life out of all roms.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jmlott:
Nope. I played around with SetCPU for a little while, but uninstalled it while I was still using Baked Snack. I have tried every Evo rom on this forum and payed close attention to battery drain using SystemPanel monitoring history. CM6 is good... I'm not saying otherwise, but for battery life, BS wins right now. I'm positive Cyanogen will improve it with time though.

[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i'm guessing you just took the phone off the charger and it dropped from 100% to 90% in 6min? that happens because htc charges their batteries until 100% and then discharges till 90%, and then charges it up again to 100%. it goes through this cycle to make sure the battery's life isn't decreased over time.

can you boot into recovery?

hmm.. really? you have me stumped then, sir. maybe someone who has more knowledge can help you out.. sorry :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tornadobarrage:

[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
Nope. Apple uses AAC for music, and they used to do DRM with it. Now all the music in the iTunes store is DRM free, and AAC is actually a non-Apple standard, and was designed to be the replacement for MP3. Still not as open as ogg, but it is as open as MP3, and darn near as commonly implemented in newer music players (hardware and software).

I like that AAC gives me a well supported format with really good quality in a smaller size than MP3.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

I'm a mac guy and a large portion of my music collection is iTunes paid content in AAC, and it has played fine on every EVO rom I have used, including CM6. They are all iTunes Plus m4a. My only thought would be if the file has DRM, but if it did then it would not have played on other roms.

I'd say something is wrong, like maybe the download was corrupted. I'm guessing anything needed would be in the music app or framework, both of with are non in gapps, so try downloading again, check the md5 key to make sure everything is ok, take a nandroid backup in case there are problems, and reflash without wiping data, maybe wipe dalvik cache and cache.

In theory you will replace all of the system stuff that would have the aac decoder, but leave all of your settings and config in place.

Good luck, I'm curious to see if it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
sorry lol.. work is slow. ok, so you can boot into recovery, and goes into a boot loop when you flash cm6-rc1 after a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik)? and you tried downloading cm6 again and check md5?

i'm curious too. thanks for the clarification, laydros. i was worried about drm, but apple has been drm-free as of late (not sure if that applies to audiobooks though).
[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
Well, DRM is my worry here. I think most audio-book are DRM'd still.

Edit: maybe that is the issue. Many of the audiobooks I think use Audible DRM instead of iTunes DRM. Maybe Audible DRM is handled by Sense roms and not by AOSP?

How do I get the Sprint apps back? I at least want to install Sprint football, Sprint Zone, and Sprint TV back.... possibly that visual voicemail app as well. I know there may be a repository somewhere, but I've been searching and cannot find it.

Also, when trying to add an account, I cannot add facebook. I select it, then the screen returns to the list w/o any kind of configurations prompts, and it's not in the accounts list either. May have to do with the currently known bug, but I'm not sure. But basically, cannot get fb contacts onto my phone, but I'm not panicking.. just reporting.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Tornadobarrage:
sorry if i sounded sarcastic im saying this thread is being replied really fast. ok all i did was wipe all and then flash the rom. and what is md5? also when i flash cm6 it flashes really fast, well faster than other roms. is that normal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
People have been able to get the Sprint VVM running, but the others may be tied to 2.1 or Sense, so I don't know what kind of luck you will have. I can tell you that it won't be supported by the CM devs though.

You could grab another rom that has them, and then unzip. The apks will be under /system/app... or if you get Fresh he has them in an sdcard folder, because they get pushed to your sdcard.

Yes, the fb contact syncing is exactly the bug mentioned in the OP. There is an apk (probably posted both here and in the nightly thread that is in Q&A) that is supposed to fix it, but I haven't tried to enable facebook syncing yet.

lol no worries. i had dc 3.2.3 as well, and all i did was wipe data, cache, and dalvik and got cm6 up and running after it spent some time in the x boot animation. i'd suggest redownloading cm6, maybe your file got corrupted. oh and md5 is a way to make sure the integrity of the file you downloaded is consistent. google it to find a way to check :)

oh and if it flashed really quickly, then it probably didn't flash correctly. try re-downloading from a different mirror (there are quite a few in this thread, do a search for mirror).
