you guys do realise that switching roms often can and will play hell with the way your battery seems to be working right? give it a couple charge cycles before making a judement that the battery life sucks. Also you can try charging to 100%, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, then reboot right away unplug the charger and let it run all the way down till it shuts off, plug in the charger and charge to 100%. That should recalibrate your battery and help too.

Just give it more time because all you guys do when you constantly change roms is make the battery life seem worse then it possibly might be.
[EVO 4G Android Development] T Mac:
Me too. I'm just going to stick it out until Fresh comes up with the answer to the horrible battery life. Unless someone comes out with the answer first, along with 270 rotation.

I would also like to see a theme with a clear top and bottom rosie bar(s), and a glass clock widget with all stock icons in Sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
As a matter of fact I did that last night. In 5 hours, moderate use, I'm at 61% left.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eck0728:
for some reason my wimax is broken, i f ixed my mac address to match the one under my battery, updated to the newest wimax, but my phone will go to "connecting to sprint" then just disconnect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thaprinze:
This may be really trivial, but I figure I'll put it out there in case someone else runs into this issue. When I tried to flash roms, no matter which one I picked, it kept boot looping. What I ended up doing was a full hard reset at the time I was flashing the rom. Before that I was performing a hard reset, rebooting, then going back into the boot loader & clearing the cache & everything.

The proper thing to do is to:

1) "wipe data/factory reset"

2) "wipe cache partition"

3) "wipe Dalvik cache"

4) "wipe battery stats"

5) "install zip from sdcard"

6) "choose zip from sdcard"

7) Choose the rom you want to flash.

Thanks to everyone for their help!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
I would think so. I have never had a problem flashing radios(wimax or cell) with amon-ra but on my first evo 4g i nuked my rsa keys flashing a wimax radio with rom manager. It just doesn't handle it well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Can anyone point me to the current preferred rooting method that will not wipe out my 4G ability?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
depends on version of phone ...didnt you just say your got bricked though from the radio update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
You should be good as long as you stay away from radios. I think flashing radio's in pc36img.zip form is the safest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DssTrainer:
Had 3.5.0.0 working fine. Didn't have any problems mentioned

I went ahead and upgraded to 3.5.0.1 anyway. I read that the market will look old for a moment but will update in the background... been a day.. no update yet
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
I got it replaced at the local store. New (refurb) unit:

Hardware 0003

Radio 2.15.00.09.01

Software 3.29.651.5

PRI 1.77_003

HBOOT-0.97.0000

If I use Universal Auto Root v1.9.4 will that mess with my 4G?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Use unrevoked forever. Its easy and won't flash any radio. After you complete that.. switch your recovery using rom manager to amon-ra. Make a nandroid so you have backed up keys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
Stop using rom manager and clockwork
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcviperboy:
I have no 4g issues (just tested it, 2.1mb down, .995 up).

Hardware v03

Fresh EVO 3.5.0.1

Rooted with Unrevoked 3 (not forever)

Clockwork Mod/Rom Manager to install the ROM

I will note that i did backups (titanium and through rom manager) and then flashed it like a new rom. Maybe it's the "upgrade" that isnt working properly?

@jonnythan - what did you tell them at the store? Do you have insurance? (jw)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
What's the advantage to Unrevoked? It looks like a lot more work - I'll have to uninstall HTC Sync, replace a driver, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcviperboy:
I've not had any problem with either, but i dont do much more than flash a few ROMs and a few zips (vanilla screen, gingerbread keyboard). I'm not sure why everyone hates on this combo so much. Maybe I'm just luck so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Its okay to install a rom in rom manager not a radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] harrymanimus:
Battery issues - Partial Wake usage etc

I used Rom Manager to install the new Fresh ROM 3.5.0.1. Checked the

wipe option. Then I downloaded the suggested radios and installed

them. (Not through Rom Manager, OR fresh updater). Restored apps+data

(not system data) via Titanium Backup. I did not test battery before installing apps.

I'm now having an issue where awake time is the same as up time.

Spare parts partial wake usage lists of a number of things but it only

shows things have been pretty low. Android system is at the top with

16 minutes. Internet is next with 4. Nothing jumps out.

Ideas? I've seen other people having this issue with the new Sprint Lovers (cause I was looking to install that when I had issues with this one). Is this yet again a HW version thing where the update these roms are based on is not ok for the HW version. I have 0003.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcviperboy:
unrevoked is about as easy as it gets - yes, uninstall sync, and install a driver. then you literally plug it in and hit "ok"
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Unrevoked was super simple on my mac. I know with windows u gotta uninstall drivers and all that. On a mac its a few clicks and easy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcviperboy:
ok, good point - never tried a radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
OK, doing Unrevoked now then. Will this install a recovery image, or will I have to do that separately after? I know this isn't really the thread for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcviperboy:
If by recovery image you mean a nandroid backup - no, you will need to do this manually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
No, I mean a recovery image like RA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
yea it will install a recovery... clock worth recovery. use rom manager to switch to a alternate recovery...amon-ra.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
I experienced the same. Head into settings->applications->manage->all->market and clear data & cache. Reboot and relaunch the market. Your update (hopefully) awaits.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
READ A TUTORIAL OR TWO kthxbye.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Ah yes, that is Clockwork. I'm much more comfortable with ADB commands so I'll just do it there. Thanks for the help guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
That was rude and unnecessary. I'm perfectly familiar with the concepts - I was asking if Unrevoked installed a recovery image or just rooted, which is a valid question. Back with my Hero it was much more simple - download a script, ADB shell in and run the script, and you're rooted. Then it was up to you to manually install the recovery image.

Anyway, that's what I'm doing now - manually installing the recovery image I want to have. Next time keep your attitude to yourself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ok, good news. Went into a 4g area and I am able to connect so my phone is not borked.

Bad news is that even with full 4g reception I managed only 4.5 mbps on my fastest test but mostly around 2.5. Now if I was promised 6 mbps when I signed on to pay $10 extra for this service I have a problem with getting half that.

Also, the 4g is eating my battery alive.

Dan@Sprint.com

There you go. And i don't think they promised you anything. Check the fine print....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
I live in Houston, a huge 4G area, and my fastest speed EVER was 9-10, but almost always it seems capped at 4-5, with a mean score of probably 3.5. I don't think I've actually ever gotten 6 lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Okay.. Sorry if this is somewhere, but I've been looking all over for a while. When I install a new rom I reboot into recovery and select my desired zip file. I did the same for the new radio recommended by fresh as well. This isn't the first time I've done updates, and I always do them this way.

However, I'm seeing posts about using clockwork and RA, both methods that are in Rom Manager, and that RA should be used. Does this mean I should make sure RA is the method before booting into recovery, or is the method I'm using it's own? I'm moving to Dallas next week and I can't check my 4G until than. Trying to figure out if my 4G is lost and if I should go back to my first nandroid.

Sorry again, and thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
The only real difference in the two recoveries is the UI. I personally prefer Amon's because it is simpler. If you are already using Clockwork, which is the one that is needed for ROM Manager app to perform its functions, then there really isn't any reason to switch.

Before you flash, when in recovery, always wipe:

1. Data/factory reset

2. Cache (x2)

3. Dalvik-cache (x2)

Then flash the .zip

Anywayz, I have a bit of a request. Could everyone who reads this post do me a favor and go to the battery link in my sig, look it over, and if you deem it worthy, vote it to the front page or whatever?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I haven't been wiping because Fresh states it's not necessary, I've only been using his Roms. The reason I was asking is because of the 4G issues people are having, and I'm not sure if mine is going to be gone as well. Just trying to figure out if I'm going to have the same problems in a week, and if so, will going back to my first nandroid backup fix the "problem".

I searched my SD card within ES File Explorer, for wimax, trying to find the wimax.img file mentioned on the previous pages but it didn't come back with anything. Not sure if that search would bring back what looking for. But tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flipzmode:
I started typing this about 2 hours ago but have been swamped with work:

Guys and gals... I'm sorry that some of you are having issues with flashing the 4g radio however I can assure you that it's not the radio image. The wimax image is a direct copy of the version that is included in the RUU and OTA updates.

Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 has been downloaded almost 3500 times just through my site. That doesn't include fresh updater or rom manager. The radios alone have been downloaded almost 2000 times (again, just through my site). I can guarantee you if there were problems there would be much more outcry. Additionally myself and those around me have all flashed the radios with no issues at all.

I'm sorry that some of you may have had issues for whatever reason, but it wouldn't have changed no matter where you got the radios from, and for me and every person that has tested it before release (and the countless other people in the thread) there hasn't been a single problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcviperboy:
Flipz in the thread!!!! Thanks as always flipz. I love your ROMS!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Figured it out, I think.. Following this website I found I still have all my RSA lines and will just have to wait a week to test my 4G. Doing more research, all my nandroid backups were with clockwork, as well as when I flashed the new Fresh. So I don't think it's clockwork, but I'm new. Looks like it didn't mess mine up.

But, to be safe I think I'm going to keep it in RA now.

Thanks again..
[EVO 4G Android Development] gofer75:
First let me say how much I love using fresh. I have tried many other roms and nothing works as good for me a fresh does. I am having one small annoyance however and I don't know how to fix it. I keep getting a notification that says "DRM Notification: License Required" When I click on it, it just goes away but it happens numerous times per day. It doesn't affect my phone at all, but it its a rather annoying issue as it happens several times a day. Anyone know why I keep getting this and how to make it stop?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
My 4G [and ROM] runs perfectly since my install last night at dinner time.

What recovery are you guys using before flashing this ROM and are you clearing EVERYTHING before the install?

As stated earlier, last week when I tried flashing the radio combo pack floating around the forum here, I noticed that my PRI wouldn't update to 1.90.....subsequent to that I do recall having issues with several ROM installs. The other day, I flashed SprintLover ROM (PC36IMG) that included all the updated radios and that bumped up my PRI to the latest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i do a factory wipe after my NAND and then wipe everything x2 in AMON's 1.8
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdjozwia:
Well im coming from fresh 3.3 and loved it with no problems, i wiped everything flashed the rom then went about a day and then flashed the radio update, restarted flashed the htc kernal, restarted and flashed the pri. I went to test out my battery last night with set cpu being the only added app to the phone which i had set to the lowest setting for screen off and i lost 50 percent of my battery over 9 hours of no use n suggestions?

Baseband = 2.15.00.09.01

kernal = htc #15

build is 3.5.0.1

software = 3.70.651.1

browser = webkit 3.1

pri = 1.77_003

prl = 60670

right now the up time is 14.35 and awake time is 1.26 when i woke up and saw i lost my battery i charged it for like an hour

Can someone please throw me some suggestions
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitch Matrixx:
Best kernel options?

Hey thread junkies.

This newest rom may be the smoothest installment yet in Flipz' series.

So far I've had no issues with fc's, or radios, 4G etc. I guess I've been rather fortunate in that respect.

My only concern is my battery % seems to be dropping really fast.

Like from 100 to 80% in first hour since unplugging.

Flipz said good battery life is back, and I assume he means using stock kernel,

which I usually tend to skip over to give myself some throttling capability.

That's what makes this problem even more weird, I'm basically underclocked to between 614mhz and 814mhz most of the time which should aid battery life.

The only things I've done since unplugging today is watch one youtube vid.

and fool around with some settings.

I have the newest radios, very good signal both 3g, and wifi.

I've fixed permissions, as this has helped me in the past, so I'll have to monitor it more today to see if it keeps dropping drastically.

I'm currently using Netarchy's 4.19 bfs (fresh compatible) kernel, because even though it's an old(er) kernel, it has always been very stable for me and usually used to yeild at least 24 hours of battery... But alas, no mas.

Can anyone here make a recommendation as to a kernel that is stable, and has given good (24hrs min) battery life for them?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
try MS's NET based SBC kernels, allow for trickle charge and are based on NET's 4.1.9 kernels
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Hi flip, I appreciate the work you are doing and like your ROM quite a lot. I think it may be a good idea to put a disclaimer about making a nandroid backup using Amon RA on the radio update instruction page. It's something that has no recourse otherwise and there are folks who wouldn't have known otherwise until after the fact.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brandonkill02:
flashed 3.4 and am stuck on first white evo screen how long does first boot take been about 5 min now
[EVO 4G Android Development] BigMatza:
Found a solution for the Swype FC's.

To recap the issue, Fresh 3.5.0.1 has native Swype built in. This is interfering with the user's ability to install the Swype beta versions, resulting in immediate FC's upon usage or configuration of Swype. The problems is due to a stubborn library file that doesn't uninstall with the application.

You will need ADB for the following (go search if you don't know what ADB is). RootExplorer should also work, assuming it gives you R/W access to /system:

1. Uninstall Swype native using Titanium Backup. If you don't have TB, then make sure you do Step 5b.

2. Open a DOS command prompt.

3. Type 'adb remount' to make /system writeable.

4. Type 'adb shell' to open a connection to the device.

5a. Type 'rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so' to remove the cause of the problem.

5b. If you weren't able to uninstall the app in Step 1, type 'rm /system/app/Swype.apk' to remove the native Swype app.

6. Reboot, and install your Swype beta as you normally would.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Awhile sometimes. If you have flashed the newest radios, then you cannot be running the stock kernel, so just keep that in mind. If you have the stock kernel, you will get caught on the splash screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brandonkill02:
what kernal should i run
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toxin715:
Well for one i get about a 24+ hours out of a single charge, the only way i can achieve this is by turning of GPS, Sync, and using Wifi. After i have changed those settings i can still play music and watch videos for well about 24 hours and 24+ if i just leat it sit(inactive). All doing this wthout using setcpu and using stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Basically, it's all personal preference. Check the kernel link in my sig and read that thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
Having a couple issues with this new release of Fresh

Rom.

The alarm clock works but it won't pop up the snooze or dismiss box so the only way I can shut it off it to pull the battery out of the phone.

Also, is the Wifi on demand now or some crap? I have it set to auto connect to my networks and 90% of the time when I look, I'm just connected to Springs 3G network.

Sometimes when I start screwing with stuff, it connects.

Is this now normal?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brandonkill02:
ok so let me tell you what happened i flashed the new radio wimax and pri after i did that the phone rebooted and got stuck on that screen ever since then the only roms i have been able to run are stock and old nandroid back ups what do you recommend ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
The alarm clock is from flashing the vanilla lockscreen, you have to get the stock android clock app to be able to shut off the alarm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Flashing a non-stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brandonkill02:
flashing the kernal in your sig now will post back and let you know
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdjozwia:
so what is ur suggestion ? I have no syncing no gps on i even had the 3g off didnt even use the phone and lost 50% in 9 hours of the phone sitting idle. Was all of my software info correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] junkyardwillie:
Thanks, just flashed this ROM and it seems to be working well. I didn't update my radios since it seems like people are having trouble with that so hopefully the ROM works well without the latest radios. I was able to establish 4G still so that was a relief. The USB tether option seems like it could be a very cool replacement to my free pdanet. Thanks again

Don't flash mine exactly, it's for AOSP ROM'S ONLY!! :eek:

What are all your software info;Base,software(3.65-3.70...),pri,nv,prl......brandonkill02
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougm0:
I'm going to get flamed for this and that's ok but are most of these problems due to Clockwork recovery?

There are 2 pieces of software I stay away from when it comes to the dev community. The first is anything Unrevoked and the second is Clockwork.

In my opinion..... again in MY opinion.... both pieces of software are not only unreliable but are not tested enough prior to each new release.

I've personally been burned by Unrevoked and I have a friend of mine who has had nothing but problems with MMS and has used nothing but Clockwork and Fresh Roms.

He flashed back to a full Sprint RUU and suddenly MMS worked....then we rerooted with RA Recovery and latest Fresh. No problems what so ever.

My apologies because I don't mean to offend. Its just I think that at least for the Evo, Amon Ra and rooting with any way other than Unrevoked if possible is the only way to go.

Just trying to help find some sort of pattern for this. Everything went smooth for me and several others I know who are donors as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Basically, the new unrevoked methods are basically all one needs, plus they remove the hassle from rooting, which a lot of people can't handle.

As long as you wipe twice, there are no problems with clockwork. There just aren't. It's personal preference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brandonkill02:
im rooted via the first way there is no unrevoked though i agree it is personal preference and im using ra recovery as i read that the reason for all this happening could be clockwork mod but as im seeing that wasnt the issue considering that its doing the same thing in amonra and i also flashed the sense kernal and im still getting the same result im gonna try reflashing the radio wimax pri again and see if that helps considering thats where all the problems began will post back
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gordon Ramsay:
Okay people first off..and i don't care who I offend..Clockwork is a piece of crap, quit being lazy and get a good reliable recovery, rom manager ain't worth it. 2nd of all the rom is designed for the new radios. If you don't flash the new radios (AFTER FLASHING 3.5.0.1) you are going to be screwed up. I did this by accident and had no GPS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Great rom flipz. Hey, I keep having an issue where my sdcard will mount via usb for about the first hour after I flash. Then after that it refuses to mount. Any ideas? Hardware is fine since it mounts in recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Clockwork recovery is in no way a piece of crap. It works just as well as Amon, they just have slightly different UI. Please don't post things like this saying that "Clockwork is a piece of crap" without explaining why, because all that does is scares users. Some people rely on ROM Manager, it's a very convienent tool.

Again, I'm not sure where you are getting your information (besides personal experience, but you do NOT have to flash radios, ever.

Radios, like recoveries, are all about PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

Sigh.

Sprint is making me unhappy...

Is anyone else annoyed that Sprint is advertising 6 mbps 4G and gets us to sign up to pay $10 a month for that, only to learn we can average at best 2.5 mbps? 4G can handle speeds of up to 50 mbps, so it is obvious, Sprint is willfully dialing down the service.

Where I come from we have a word for that - fraud.

I'm gonna call Sprint right now and raise some hell and demand my $10 back. They may not do that but they may throw me some other goodie to shut me up.

They haven't legally promised anyone anything, you didn't have to sign up for the fee, and the speed depends on your location. Sorry to burst your bubble (I love sticking it to the man too) but you got nothin
