Long question - but if anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

I am trying to load fresh 4.5.0.1 and I am coming from CM 6.1.1 and also gingerbread test roms.

I have Calkulin's format all zip, and use it to wipe the entire device before moving from rom to rom.

My recovery is the latest amon ra.

Everytime I load a fresh.... fresh rom, it loads perfect, except that when it finally loads to where the phone is usable, all these old apps I used to use are loaded (many of them paid apps). They are old versions, so these apps aren't coming from the android market automatically.

I have all of these apps backed up on my sdcard, under an "apps" folder. I thought maybe it was loading them from this and have tried renaming it, and also totally removing it. These apps still installed automatically.

So my question is.... where on earth are they coming from? I just loaded CM7.0 gingerbread nightly build and these apps don't install. I loaded fresh 5-6 times today and these apps show up every time.

Any ideas? I have a pretty firm grasp on android and my EVO, but this is just baffling me. I bet it is something really simple too...

Let me also add that I have tried using calkulin's format all.zip, and the wipe system data, cache, and dalvik together to make absolutely sure the device is being wiped.

I do not use apps2sd, or have any apps installed to my sdcard.

The UOT kitchen works fine with Fresh roms. I had no problems modifying the framework-res.apk file from Fresh 3.5.0.1 using that kitchen.

Don't use the generic zips for flashing battery icons. Make sure you pull the framework-res.apk out of the zip file for your rom and upload it to the kitchen. If you do this you won't have problems.

Not sure what the USBhack is, but i've used wireless and usb tethering on 3.5.0.1 and it worked fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] lath19:
I've never used Calkulin's format all zip but if you factory wipe in Amon's all of the apps will definitely be gone. The only apps that will install with Fresh are those that he's included with the rom. You'd need to use the market, titanium backup, appbrain, etc. to reinstall everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lath19:
USB tethering works but only on 3G. If you use the WiFi Tether app you can get 4G speeds. I'm not sure about the sprint mobile hotspot as I don't use it (though I think it's restricted to 3G speeds as well).
[EVO 4G Android Development] dills2214:
I have done this time after time, and the apps come back. All I want is a clean install. I have tried wiping each part (system,cache,etc) up to 5 times before flashing fresh, and the apps always come back.

Keep in mind, I am not coming from an old fresh with these apps installed. I am coming from a clean install of CM 6.1.1 and then an alpha of CM7.0 gingerbread.

This is utterly maddening. I just don't get it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
do the AmonRa wipe to make sure you're clearing out your ext partition and then... while in recovery

adb shell

mount -a

cd /system/sd/app

ls

see if you have anything there

cd /system/sd/app-private

ls

see if there's anything there

also, see if /data/app points to /system/sd/app and /data/app-private -> /system/sd/app-private.

If not, then see if there's anything in /data/app and /data/app-private.

if the answers to the above questions are yes, then just rm * in each of those directories

Everything fine here......

Sent from my Awesome Freshhhh EVO 3.5.0.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] dills2214:
Genius. I think that was the answer. Those apps have been sitting in sd-ext, which I'm guess other roms and CM don't use. I am guessing this is because fresh rom uses apps2sd automatically? Either way, that has to be the answer. Thanks a lot.

Yeh I am getting a weird message on my SMS messages. The message comes through fine but after the date and time stame there is a weird set of letters and numbers.

example: C4PMNGE PUK:

now if I switch the time from AM/PM to 24hr it looks fine. Except the time is in 24hr format that I do not like.

Any Ideas?

Notification Bar not pulling down

Anyone had any issues with the notification bar not pulling down? I'm pretty sure it's not related to the Fresh ROM but I thought I might post here just in case. I've searched and found where people have had issues like this but there are never many replies towards a solution. The bar will pull down in landscape mode. I can also get it down by using the menu button and selecting notification, then from there I can move the up or down unless I go all the way to the top.

This all started a day ago, about 12 hours after flashing the lastest Fresh w/radio's and such. I've tried reflashing the ROM and even flashing a backup of another ROM with no luck. Anybody?

I load it up on the card go to recovery mode, select file, it installs i restart, image stays there for 30 seconds, i boot up into OS and i still have the previous number radio.

any help is appreciated

Updated to 3.5.0.1 when he first released. Decided to update the kernal so I installed Netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-havs-less-smartass-universal. Decided to post my decidedly better results:

Stock kernal - 3.5.0.1

SetCPU - Short Bench 232.0 ms

Linpack MFLOPS: 34.542, Time : 2.43 secs

Quadrant - 1134

Then updated to :

Netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-havs-less-smartass-universal

SetCPU - Short Bench 152.0 ms

Linpack MFLOPS: 39.507, Time : 2.12 secs

Does anyone have a flashable file so I can get rid of the battery icon? The one I have now messes up the phone and it'll just loop the fresh logo during boot up over and over.

That or a mod to show the battery percentage over the battery icon would be great too.

Tracerit, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10020797&postcount=7479 ..

[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
I finally have success with this!

First off, for 3g usb tethering, use the built in host, the one on the power menu when you hook up the usb cable.

For 4g tethering, things get a bit more complicated.

1) Reboot the phone into recovery mode (green menu). Don't select any options, just leave it be.

2) using adb, issue the following commands.. This renames the existing libnativetask.so so it won't conflict.

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/lib/libnativetask.so /system/lib/libnativetask.so.bak
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

3) download the apk from the link above in your quote ... V1.4 is current as of this writing. Go ahead and install it. Use menu/settings to assign a dhcp net block. I just chose the first, 192.168.x.y

4) It is assumed since adb works, you already have the usb drivers for the htc device installed in windows.

5) Before starting wired tether, enable 4G and establish a connection. If you fail to do this, your client machine will not receive an ip address from wired-tether. Why? I don't know. It's a kludge

6) Press start on wired-usb and plug in the usb cable if you haven't already.

7) Enjoy your new speeds

8) Issues: By doing the steps in #2, something gets broken and commands like ##debug# or ##data# stop working. Why??? No idea, however, executing adfree and rebooting fixes whatever gets broken and all is good.

PS. Wireless tether seems to work just fine with 3g or 4g without any work arounds such as above.

Alright currently having some issues with flashing 3.5.0.1 on Hardware 003 Evo....

I had no problems installing the update as well as the radios on hardware 002, but 003 is giving me a lot of problems and hopefully someone can help me out:

1) Flashing the Fresh 3.5.0.1 ROM went without a hitch

2) Flashing the Fresh 3.5.0.1 radio wimax update went without a hitch

3) Flashing the Fresh 3.5.0.1 PRI update went well until the reboot, and it was stuck at the WHITE HTC EVO 4G screen forever. Initially thought that it had to work through it (I know sometimes when you flash ROMS/Radios, it takes a while on the initial boot).

It wouldnt go past the white evo screen so eventually I took the battery out (this was probably a bad idea), and then rebooted the Evo. It went to the Fresh load screen but was stuck in an endless reboot. SO these are the steps I took

1) rebooted into recovery and wiped everything (data, davlik, cache) and tried to reinstall my Fresh 3.4.0.1 nandroid backup. It went well but it kept going into endless reboot at the Fresh screen (with the penguin and android dude)

2) took out battery and rewiped everything and reflashed Fresh 3.5.0.1 and eventually everything was okay. I looked into settings>software version> and both my radios and PRI was updated to the latest version. But lost all user data in the process.

So I tried going back to 3.4.0.1 but when I restored (via Amon Ra and nandroid backup) it gets stuck in the endless reboot at the Fresh load screen. I'm now kicking my ass for not making a titanium backup of all my gf's apps on her Evo (lesson learned)

But any insight/ideas on why it wont let me restore back to 3.4.0.1 and gets caught in that endless boot cycle? As I type this, I am rewiping everything and trying to reflash 3.5.0.1 again and will just have to start over reinstalling all her apps from a titanium backup from October, which kind of sucks. (UPDATE: was able to do a clean install of 3.5.0.1 again and at least the Evo is working...)

Is there a simple way to take out the app back ups from the most recent nandroid back up or is this impossible? Or is there a way to revert back to 3.4.0.1?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for this long ass post!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason kiDD:
Remember some kernels do not play well with the newer radios.. Especially those based on the stock HTC kernels. Simply try to use another. Like Netarchy 4.1.9 and then see if your phone boots up normally..
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
I dont know if this is a reply to me, but I had the same kernel on the hardware 002 as the hardware 003 and nothing went wrong with 002. Also it is my limited understanding that when you reflash a new ROM (at least with Fresh) any custom kernel is overwritten with whatever kernel Flipz has updated the new ROM with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfbo:
LOL....this has been covered several times already but I know how tough it can be to search these big @ss threads......You need to uninstall SWYPE Beta, the FC's will stop at that point. This ROM has the latest SWYPE build built into it and for whatever reason it isn't overwriting the Beta version.

Personally, I think they should add a note to the first post stating to uninstall Swype Beta before flashing this ROM.....I'd think that would help avoid the FC problems?!?!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] splink7007:
The nand you have may be borked. Not a big deal, just have to start fresh. To get the missing apps back instead of installing all of the again from scratch. You can try to flash cm 6.1.1 and the latest gapps. Once installed all your apps should automatically install. Then use something like astro file manager to back them up. Im not a fan of tb some roms dont play well with it. The big thing is ppl always restore the app data and thats where things get hairy. Once you get all your apps back and backed up, I would do a fresh wipe of data and caches and reflash fresh 3.5.0.1. All your radios will stay up to date. The reason 3.4 was giving you problems is most likely cause you had the newer radio. The newest radio dosent play well with older software.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steveojp:
Haha yeah I tried looking through the posts and I am like wow there are a lot of pages. So once I uninstall the beta. Do I just go into the File Explorer and install the one from there?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] steveojp:
Oh, never mind. I believe 2.7 Swype is already pre loaded?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethexi23:
This actually worked...I tried but forgot to get the root access and all that in the settings menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
I think there is some confusion here. The Hardware has nothing to to with the kernel in this instance. You are correct in that the kernel in the rom will overwrite whats on the phone before you flash. Thats probably where youre running into trouble. The older version of Fresh has the older stock kernel which has compatibility issues with the new radio/pri you installed. Radio/pri will not be overwritten when you flash rom to rom. Thats likely why youre getting the bootloop when you try to go back to the older build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
What is CM? Cynogen mod? Also if the new radios don't play well, I guess my nand backups from my original ROM state will be useless? I know how to turn s-boot back on, but how do I restore to factory ROM if I ever have to exchange my Evo?

Luckily the tb backup was good and everything installed. But what a pain in the ass that process was.

Another question is does AmonRa mess up backups often? Ppl always say clockwork sucks balls, so I tried out AmonRa this time n look what happens. FML
[EVO 4G Android Development] napoleontheruler:
is it anyway to the gingerbread pull down bar. and is fresh going to be updates to 2.3. im not rushing just asking
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Sure. Calkulin has a thread with all the radios and pri versions posted. Just flash the same way you would a rom basically. There are a couple of extra reboots involved, but if youre patient and follow the prompts you shouldnt have any issues. As for Amon Ra, I dont think it was the problem. I personally have never had a bad backup or any issues restoring. It was most likely the different builds you were jumping to and from. You werent trying to restore backups made with clockwork were you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason kiDD:
thats exactly what he was trying to do.. :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] effluent:
I'm having a problem with apps2sd. I could have sworn I'd used it on this rom before and all I had to do was partition the sd card and reboot and it automagically took effect. This isn't happening though. Trying this with a new 16 class 6 card I just got in the mail(which by the way says it has 14gb storage when it's in the phone?!).

I don't think it's actually being partitioned, it says it is in recovery but the available space is the same when rebooting. Ideas on all this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bukem75:
I don't know if you noticed, but Fresh only uses the official releases from Sprint for our Evo to make his roms. From that logic, we will not see a Fresh Gingerbread rom until a few days to two weeks after the official Sprint version is released.

:rolleyes:

Despite what your mom said, there are some dumb questions...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dsEVOlve:
No new market, PDF viewer gone

So after I flashed I found two issues but they are minor in comparison to what I have read (Like a dumba-- I started reading about all the issues AFTER I flashed, with Clockwork, then frantically started testing everything on my phone). #1-No matter what I try, the market won't update. I have rebooted several times, wiped the apps cache and data then reboot, but still have the old market. No FCs whatsover like others, just won't budge from the old Market.

#2- the stock HTC PDF viewer disappeared. I went back to restore from Titanium and it doesn't give me a RESTORE button but I backed up all apps and data last month. Not asking for warez (to be clear) but just can't seem to get it back. Liked that app :( I thought about flashing the nandroid backup I made before flashing the new ROM to see if I can get it back from there but would like to avoid it if I can.
