[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
hello I just replaced a broken EVO and now that it is rooted I am trying to restore my old flipz backup from my previous evo.. I am having a problem though

I go through all the normal process to restore a backup through clockwork mod recovery and everything works fine the super user permission pops up and the phone reboots but instead of rebooting directly into the reboot session it just boots me into the clockwork mod recovery recovery menu.. when i select the folder the recovery files are located in it shows up blank.. what am I doing wrong here? In the past when I selected to restore a backup from inside the os it just rebooted and started restoring automatically.. I feel like an extra step has now been added and I dont know what it is?

I should also note that while I do not know if it is related or not when I try to restore the backup from the nandroid section of the recovery menu it hangs on checking md5 sums and then says error while flashing boot image!

mind you this is on 2 separate backups I created in the past with clockwork mod recovery

EDIT: I have been advised that maybe it is not wise to restore the full backup due to the fact certain evos work better with certain kernels so how could I just restore my apps and data without restoring anything else..

also....

and now to make matters even worse my phone is stuck on an endless loop on clockwork mod recovery I every time I select reboot system now instead of it booting into the stock rooted rom it just reloads the clockwork mod recovery menu.. what gives?

[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
Why does no one respond to my post? I am asking if people can tell me what kernels work best with this new fresh and if they can post them since i'm having trouble finding them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
It's not that no one isn't responding as much as this is a fairly ambiguous question that gets asked a billion times a day. You have a pretty decent amount of activity so I'm sure by now you know to read back a little and god forbid search when you have a question, but in all fairness, you might not, so here you go:

Every ROM + KERNEL + PHYSICAL HARDWARE OF A PHONE has an unreal amount of of variability due to the compounded effects of minute differences in the above. Soo... There is no straight answer to your question. I'll give you the classic answer you will find all over this site: Back things up and try for yourself. The thing is, whatever I or anyone else tells you might not work for you.

I do suggest, however, some of the newest netarchy builds or even the stock kernels. Even there, however, I believe it will become apparent to you all the different types of things that can change with individual phones and thus warrant your own personal testing. The link in my sig will take you to the netarchy kernel thread.

Hope I helped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajpatel:
i had awesome luck with netarchy's kernels made specifically to be compatible with fresh..start there. they are the latest stable build he has put out. if you feel adventurous, try the beta builds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
I'm not sure what that's about, but make sure you already have clockwork flashed and that you have data. Maybe you already have amon ra?

Here's the manual way just in case.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
perhaps this should be asked in the clockwork thread since your problem isn't really a Fresh problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Blitzpwnage:
He has to allow rom manger super user permissions...then it won't be grayed out anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
or he never installed clockwork recovery first
[EVO 4G Android Development] infinitcashman:
These are my results, anyone know what I can I do to make this better? Hardware v0002 running fresh 3.4.0.1

I flashed fresh 3.3.0.1, felt the same, didn't do a test though
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Anyone having issues suddenly with charging your phone? My phone has been plugged in for about 5 hours, and hasn't finished charging yet, whereas typically it takes much less time than that. It ran out abnormally quickly yesterday, and today it's not recharging as fast as it should.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
did you flash anything recently? if your anything like me the answer is duh! also if you are charging via USB instead of AC that for sure takes longer
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
I am charging via USB. I didn't take that into account. Thanks for that.

But the answer to your other question is no, I did not flash anything in the last couple days, which is when this issue starting happening. The only thing I really did was install the new DirecTV app on my phone, after uninstalling the old one, since for some reason the link in my app tray was no longer opening the DirecTV app after a recent update via the Android Market.

UPDATE: So as soon as I posted this post, my phone reached 100% charge and the light JUST turned green. I unplugged it and walked over to another office, about 200 feet away. When I got there, my phone was down to 96%, and it then proceeded to drop 1% every 30 seconds until it got down to 86%. I let it sit with the screen off for about 5 minutes, and now it's down to 83%. This is insane...
[EVO 4G Android Development] infinitcashman:
That update you posted, sams has happened with me, there are a few articles that describe how the phone charges, what happens is, it charges to 100%, but while plugged in, the phone will still discharge to 90%, then charge back to 100%. This is what I understood after reading around, there's a fix for that, but in a lot of peoples opinion, and in my opinion as well, believe it will greatly shorten the life span of the battery.

On a side note, I do believe that our issues are a little more severe than what the articles suggest, but its something I've just accepted as the culprit.

Hope that helped
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
I understand that issue, but in this case I unplugged the phone as soon as the green light showed. It was amber, and then as soon as it turned green, I unplugged it within 1 second. There is no way the 90-100% buffer caused by leaving the phone plugged in could be causing this, since it was not plugged in long enough for it to have naturally degraded lower than 100%. Also, the quick drop continued even below 90%, so I don't believe this is related to that issue.

Thanks for your input, and corroboration of the issue I'm seeing.

tried the newest netarchy and was getting awful battery drain but the older one is working wonders for me. while using Juicedefender, i'm well over 16 hours on a charge with moderate use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Better than with 4.2.1 AGG?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cassini24:
oh yeah, way better than 4.2.1...that one was draining fast enough that I could watch it happen. for whatever reason, 4.1.9 is really doing me good. VERY happy with this setup.

Amazing! Running 4.21 for a day. 12 hours since charged with 10 minutes on phone, 1 hour angry birds, bunch of emails, light web browsing, little Google Maps, and stiiiiilll at 46%. Normally my battery would be at 10% by now.

Battery life is even better than the Epic 4th with custom roms.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ole_gators:
So I recently flashed Fresh 3.4.0.1 and though that it would fix my problem with the "suspend" process popping up randomly and draining the hell out of my battery. But yesterday it popped up again. I came from fresh 3.1.0.1 and it was happening from time to time, so I decided to wipe everything and start over but that didn't help. I must of wiped data + cache + dalvik cache like 5 times while installing fresh and different kernels but the damn "suspend" process popped up again according to system panel app. I noticed that it only pops up when I try to connect to 4G but there is no 4G signal. I searched on different forums but nobody knows why "suspend" process pops up and uses like 30% CPU when the screen is off. The only way to fix this suspend process is to reboot but most of the time I notice it after it was running for like an hour and my battery already took a dive. Does anyone know of a fix for this "suspend" process on the EVO? Thanks in advance.

I'm running:

Fresh 3.4.0.1

Netarchy 4.1.9.1 CFS

Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01

PRI 1.77_003
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Do the same thing again... then see if you have the exact same problem (as far as the battery disappearing while screen off). If so, then immediately check Spare Parts and see what's got you with a partial wake lock.

I've found that once I uninstalled ebay, my battery doubled in length... even though I NEVER opened the app when it was installed.

Also, Handcent has a partial wake lock issue when you have popups turned on.

In Afghanistan - Updated from 3.0.1.0 Flipz Fresh Rom to 3.4.0.1

I read the note, but I had FLIPZ Rom previously installed so I just flashed from zip in recovery mode and it worked well. However, it doesnt look exactly the same as the screen shots. I still have the pull down to unlock like it did in the store when you first bought the EVO. is that a change you can make in the ROM or do I have to Wipe and loose all my apps. I dont want to lose them because there is no signal here, however, I dont want to get to far behind with ROM updates either. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
fresh updater download the vanilla lock and world clock or your alarm won't shut off and install that for the vanilla lock
[EVO 4G Android Development] bdorr1105:
Thanks for the info, however, I am in afghanistan so I can not connect to the internet with my phone, I cant use that method. Thanks

My big question was it ok that I did not do a wipe coming from Fresh 3.0.1.0 straigh to 3.4.0.1. ?????
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
iffy at best if you start to have FC's and other issues then you will have to wipe and reload rom. No wifi available at the base?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toki999:
Fresh is aWesome! Noob here on XDA..

anyways, to test out the ROM+Kernel, I have updated to the newest 3.4.0.1 with netarchy 4.1.9.1 cfs yesterday and ran normal usage (7 calls, 20 texts, 10 min. of wireles tether, and etc.), and used about 14 hours.

i was getting about 5 hours at the most, root with UnreVoked.

so i read the whole thread (most of them) and wanted to test out Fresh 3.3.0.1 with netarchy 4.2.1. bfs, so i have flashed little while ago.

i'll update how this config works out.

thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stajdanley:
I believe you have to have the donate version of the app in order to unlock that feature. Buy the one or two dollar upgrade in the market and you'll be good to go.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DXL007:
OK so I have searched in this thread and can not seem to find the answer to my question so here goes. Every time I plug my phone in to my computer to charge it it automatically goes in to USB Debug mode. Is here a way to disable this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrwicked:
menu>>settings>>applications>>development and uncheck USB debugging.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
This is expected behavior. You don't want to disable USB Debug or you'll disable it completely and always (until you re-enable it).

I think it's something with Android 2.2 that doesn't really distinguish between plugged into the wall and plugged into the computer. That's why it starts debug mode when you're plugged into the wall. It doesn't hurt anything and doesn't drain the battery (obviously since you're plugged into the wall). Having it active also doesn't cause the battery to charge any slower.

I saw this zip floating around. I don't live in a 4g area so I don't know if mine is broken. Would it hurt to flash it, even if the 4g is not broken?

Dropped calls?

So I just realized that my 3G is always going on and off and dropping my calls and data connections more and more.is there a fix for this?i upgraded the prl with the link provided from fresh rom is there something else I can do?love the rom, but this is a real problem.thanks for any help
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
First try doing a full wipe and see if that fixes the problem. If not, you may need to contact Sprint. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the ROM itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gus616:
Well I never had this problem before, not saying its the rom, maybe the prl? I did the update that was linked on the first page, maybe there is another one I should try?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
If you never had the problem before, then it doesn't sound at all like the ROM... it's either something new that you've installed on your phone (PRL, App, some setting someplace) or a temporary outage from Sprint (which does happen a lot more than you may think).

You should be applying the PRL from Sprint and not from anyplace you download it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] troyboytn:
I personally would love for Flipz to endeavor into an HD Desire port. I know it would be fantastic. Running Calks and it is incredible. Super smooth and fast, no fc, and my battery life is by a guesstimate 40% better than any Evo based rom I have tried.

How about it Flipz.....some HD love(as I would still rather be using a Fresh rom)?

[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
Has there new ROM released by HTC? I am running this 3.4.0.1 since it came out, and quite happy with it.

I am sure Flipz is feeling as I do is why tweak the masterpiece.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
+1

This ROM works. Why send out updates? I don't think there are ANY bugs with it at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kccasey:
Reason #1 is because GINGERBREAD Source has been released. I think Fresh would be great on mGingerbread. Now if we could only get Fliptz to update Fresh...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
The Gingerbread source has not been released, only the SDK; which doesn't do much for reliable ROM creations. It is basically aimed at providing devs with API information, etc, for the development of apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lath19:
Flipz hasn't updated the ROM because there isn't much to update. His ROM's are close to stock with some tweaks (removing bloatware, MMS size tweak, USB tether, etc), that's why they're stable. Since there hasn't been an updated stock ROM it shouldn't be a surprise that Fresh hasn't been updated.

3.4.0.1 is perfect for me. Stable and fantastic battery life. If you want something more than that then check out some of the other great ROMs around here.

Some sanity, thank you. It may be some time before the Gingerbread source code is released, let alone a working source for Gingerbread on the Evo.

There is no update on the Fresh rom until there is a major update released from Sprint. The dude takes some time off and people go all bat**** nutty with conspiracy theories.

Nothing to see here, people. Go on with your lives.

The only question I have is isnt the newest ota which this rom is based for hardware rev 004? I also love fresh roms but my battery was horrible on this rom. I thought maybe flipz would send out an update for those of us with 003 and below with a compatible kernel and software base.
