[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
Here is the link for RA...there is a .2 version for those with bad blocks but .1 is the norm thus far. ROM manager should include the clockwork for you and once you've switched between the two it is pretty slick for on the fly mashing. Just know that CW has known issues with cleanly wiping...FYI

EDIT: There was a recent update to ROM Manager
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linflas:
Ummm, no, don't do that, it is a recovery IMAGE not a ROM. Search for the thread for amon_ra's recovery, get the image file, use a terminal shell app from the market to flash the image. The instructions are in the first post of RA's thread.

I have the same problem, I used to be able to flash RA with rom manager, but stopped working for me as well. Even tried new SD card, wiping, nothing seemed to fix it. Now I jus keep the image in the root of my sd card and use the terminal commands. Almost as fast as clockwork, done it enough. Though as of late not use clockwork at all, just ra.

If this is true - try uninstalling rom manager completely, if your not using it for backups and/or your nandroids aren't located in sdcard/clockworkmod - delete the folder and try to re-install from market. I don't believe nandroid and/or RA save to clockworkmod folder unless you have previously used rom manager?

And I have heard CW doesn't wipe cache or some such properly - never experienced issues to date...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
no guys, what happens is this, you have no recovery installed or another version of recovery aka not new, you flash the latest clockwork regardless of what you want...step 2 opens up the amon_ra alternate recovery to light up. WIthout first flashing clockwork mod FIRST, that other recovery will not light up, you must do that first regardless of what you have, assuming you don't have the latest clockwork, this should apply to you

I don't wanna use Handcent SMS and I think it's a shame that stock application doesn't work.

Phones that are not sold by orange cannot receive mms.

You have to modify the mms user-agent.

How to access this parameter ?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper36:
To try to make sense of my title, say we have 2 Hero cdma running the same rom. In linpack one scores 2.9 and one 4.9. Obviously hardware should be the same other than SD card. Can a fast SD card make that kind of a difference? What else can and is there a guide for optimizing our systems?

I get very confused as I switch between roms. Some roms won't run A2SD for me at all (while working great for other people) and some I have no problem with, so I'm kind of confused what I can get away with as I switch around.

Thanks,

Mike
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
I don't think SD card or a2sd should matter for linpack scores. What predominantly matters is CPU speed, JIT, VM heap size, how many widgets you have on your home screens, etc., and it might sound obvious but things that affect the overall "smoothness" of your phone.

Also, are you wiping ext before flashing a new ROM?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper36:
Yeah, I've been wiping everything. Haven't used JIT because I'm not sure what I need to use it properly. I've always been of the impression that it was dependent on A2SD which I can only ever get to work on Cyanogen roms. Also ignorant regarding VM settings and use.

Thanks for answering.

My opinion is that 3.0 will be a small update and only bring a couple of new features. Seeing as froyo only has a few new features and it took a while after 2.1 to be released. 3.0 is released by the end of the year. How could they possibly make a huge difference in a short period of time?

This is how I was able to unroot:

1. Ran the 1 Click SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition root program. This downgraded my evo to 1.17.651.1 while still mainting HBOOT .76.2000 (this is very important!)

2. Downloaded one of the RUU files (RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe), connected my evo and launched the update . Ensure you have the latest HTCSync software installed before running the program. I used version 2.0.40

I successfully unrooted my phone, and rooted it back to 1.47.xxx just as an academic exercise.

This should work for you. Also search the forum, there's a ton of info (albeit disorganized) on how to do this.

Which version of SimpleRoot are you using? I used the most recent version of the app (the latest has just 2 buttons NOT 4). Make sure after downloading to use the update option to check for updates. For some strange reason, the Simpleroot app is able to downgrade your HBOOT to .76.2000 (I couldn't achieve that by manually completing steps 1 & 2 of Toastchf method AND running the RUU - it always came up with that error UNTIL I resorted to the SimpleRoot method.) Maybe someone else can chime in. Anyways, give it a try.
