So wipe dalvik and wipe cache partition or wipe dalvik, cache partition, and data/factory reset?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
If you are flashing mods (ie notification bar, fonts, etc.) Do not wipe data! This will clear your current rom. Just wipe cache and dalvik :)

I purchased my evo in november and wanted to clear some questions I had to avoid any trouble. Thanks everybody, I REALLY appreciate the help and quick response. Thanks again.

I honestly didn't know there were variations of 17 but I tried to download the one u attached but it won't download. I'm confused now, how many versions of htc 17 are there?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
negative, i would only wipe when flashing kernels and ROM's, otherwise you can just flash theme's/mods/fonts without wiping, i have done it before no problems
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Data won't clear your ROM. Data is all of the apps you downloaded and all of your system settings and application settings. Wiping it will set the "ROM" back to as if you had just flashed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kratos313:
i tried both of the HTC #17 kernels that were posted but even with the pri downgraded they won't boot on Warm Z even after letting the phone sit for 20mins.

After seeing the B.O.S. HD rom working with HTC#17 im curious i had the Best battery life Ever With HTC#17
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
here is the HTC #17 kernel i have on my computer, not sure if this will work for you, might as well give it a shot no?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
I've heard lots of negative things about the new clockwork :\
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
That might be why you're having battery life issues ;)

Not likely though, but that can be a cause :p You probably just need a clean wipe (CALIKULIN'S FORMAT ALL ZIP) and you're good. Also, you may need a better kernel :) (because the stock one may not play well with your phone).

Or, my sig has a link to a big post on battery life :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
I feel dumb and bad for giving false information. Thanks for the correction Product F(RED). I meant to say that it will wipe current rom setup.

Unplugged my phone from charger at 8:00am with 100% it is now 1:00pm and am at 58% :( used the phone an average amount I would say.

Maybe a dozen phone calls.

A dozen texts or so.

And surf online for a few min every hour or so

Used Navigation once today for 20min.

Doing the above should I be at 58% on the stock battery ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
While that's not great battery life, that's not unheard of. If you surf online using 3G your battery will drop moderately quickly. However, Navigation KILLS battery (specifically GPS). So you're not getting severely poor battery, you're just not getting the usual battery performance from Myn's ROM....What kernel are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
any good reports on nets kernerls? which one should I try?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
4.3.2 SBC More Aggressive. Awesome battery life.

Also, why is it that I get awesome battery life on Sprint Lover's but noticeably worse battery life on RLS5? Same setup, same kernel, no SetCPU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MobileAllStar:
Thank you so much!

Hey myn r u going to incorporate screen off animation like evolv n e time soon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
sorry but I meant for 2/14/2011 nighlties
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I have noticed this as well, except with 09.01 radio and 1.77 pri on RLS5 my battery is almost unbeatable. However if I use all updated everything I get really good battery life on just about any other rom, it just still isn't as good as my normal daily setup of old/rls5. Very strange.

BTW, I get a hell of a lot better life with that set-up than anything I have tried on CM7 (I realize they are still early nightlies, but still, FWIW).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ldostang:
Quick question... and sorry if it has been asked and answered before...

Ive been on myn rls5 for like 3 weeks now coming from fresh and the sync icon is constantly on. I have turned auto sync off so it will stop but i never had the problem before with fresh rom. I wiped everything twice before flashing myn. What else could it be?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MobileAllStar:
Any idea why my phone doesn't recognize certain kernals when charging? What I mean is after flashing a new ROM, my phone won't charge... I plug in the charger and it charges for one second and then stops. I always end up flashing a different kernal and it solves the problem. I'm currently running Myn's RLS5 which is working properly with the kernal that came with it HTC#15... I wanted to try Net's 4.3.2 SBC More Aggressive and after flashing, my phone wouldn't charge, light comes on then goes off. I flashed Kingx #11 which seems to be working fine...

Battey Tweak

I know I asked this before, but I am running Collin's battery tweak and need to check if it is working, there is a command for Terminal Emulator (top -m 5 -n 1) to do so, but I can't get it to work, does anybody knows how to do it or what do I need to type using adb or Terminal? :confused:

Running Z 02/14 beta.

I tried different kernels and same result, also bought Better Terminal and same thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Well, I wasn't saying that RLS5 is old. I was more talking about the old radio/pri combo. But you aren't completely off base, there were people asking for WarmTwoPointThree on the 3rd night of WarmZ nightlies so...

You have a good product, people want more :D

It's the 2.3 Gingerbread screen off animation that looks like a cathode ray tube shutting down. I don't think it's possible to port that over, but I'm no coder. Don't know how worth it it'd be.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
Whats the best way to do a 100% complete wipe of everything, and start fresh installing RL5 ?

I am even thinking about getting new sd/card, would that help too with being fresh ? I want a 16gb, my 8gb is just about full anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
The best way, I think is to use Calk's Format All ZIP file. Do that, then install RLS5. A new SD Card will eliminate some of the bloat you might be carrying around, and if you get one with a higher class, it should make the phone a little more responsive too.

[EVO 4G Android Development] glockliberty:
I think they mean evervolv. It's a rom ported to the evo. There's a thread in this forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
If your going to get a new card then you should do that first

1. backup SD card to folder on computer, take out old card, put in new card

2. Settings - SD card - Unmount card

3. Format SD Card

4. boot into recovery and setup your sd-ext's if you want

Non-new SD Card

1. Settings - SD card - factory reset

2. Calk's format all

3. wipe SD-EXT

4. flash ROM

5. reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Ahh evervolv the Ginger rom.

I've looked at porting the screen off mod to 2.2 and it's rather involved. Doable but I'd rather spend my resources on other cool stuff :)

I've emulated the screen off in Warm Z when you shutdown. Just an illusion of the real thing though.

Poor Battery

I have been reading on battery issues with rls5 and I have to admit that I also am having problems with stock Kernel. I have been a fan of using stock everything since my wife and I got EVOs. We have been on 3.70.651.1 Stock rooted rom for awhile with no battery or performance issues using the latest radios/kernel. Due to the addons to TwoPointTwo and the sleek look I flashed both of our phones. Keep in mind that the wife doesnt let me do that often on her phone, but she loves the rom. There are 2 things that are baffling me.

1. battery life is not what it used to be.... not even close. Yesterday both phones were about dead in 4-5 hours. Light usage.

Using:

Kernel: 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15

RADIO 2.15.00.11.19

PRI 1.90_003

NV 1.90_003

WiMAX 27167_R01

Today I switched mine to this to try it out and still a fairly significant drop per hour. (~10% an hour light to no usage)

Kernel: 22.6.32.15-g59b9e50 htc-kernel@and18-2 #17

RADIO 2.15.00.09.01

PRI 1.77_003

NV 1.77_003

WiMAX 27167_R01

Warm install was the usual flashing using Amon Ra, wiping everything 2 times, flash, boot, setup, reboot, flash clock circle mod (using framework from WARM), reinstall programs using titanium.

2. Yesterday had quite a weird issue with the car kit app. never used it before and have no need to. I was at about 20% battery left sitting eating pizza and the car app kept turning on and off over and over and over... was quite strange. the way i got it to stop was to change the setting in the app to not autostart. After I did that the screen would light up and then go off for about 10 more minutes then it stopped. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
i must be one of the rare ones, i have no issues with battery life, occasionally i get a run away app. weatherbug elite(sometimes it wakelocks when searching for a location almost as bad is if you are in a dead spot and your networks are searching), latitude/maps (if you don't sign out), navigation, google talk (i never use, always freeze or uninstall).

i use netarchys 4.3.2 SBC/havs/more/CFS.

HW0002 with latest radios and PRI.

only battery saving app I use is green power premium, it shuts down all radios when screen off, very adjustable and lets my phone sleep nicely.

i rarely ever charge my phone overnight, i unplug it before i sleep when its full, usally wake up 6 hours later with a few ticks off 100%, usually 96ish...i do use wifi exclusively in my house, 3G sucks inside my house, great outside, the 3g radio searching for a sinal wil drain a battery overnight unplugged.

since rooting my phone in nov I wonder why it took me 6 months to dive in...maybe i was waiting for myn and RLS3....lol. but i have not worried about my battery. or random reboots. my conclusion is it rarely ever is the ROM at fault, either its the kernel not playing nice with the hardware (ziggys and stock don't like my phone when in use, they sleep well, but do not sip well while in use) kings #11 CFS was my preferred kernel through RLS3 and 4...then the SBC kernels came out and i started to love them. (bomb disposal suit optional) only precaution i take with the SBC kernels is that i use battery monitor to sound an alarm when its at 100% and then i unplug.

hopefully this gives some insight to some having issues on RLS5, but as we always say, each user and phone are different so one's setup may not be optimal for another, but i thought i would share what works for me and will get me 16-20 hours on moderate use, 12 on heavy and 24+ on very light...i don't use my phone much on weekends and can go all day sat and sun unplugged.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigrob8181:
What would be the issue if you didnt do this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] welshwarriorsf:
Could somebody tell me what the deal is with this HTC Kernel #17? Is it good to run with RLS5? I assume its supposed to be better then #15 (what happened to 16?)

Sent from my Myned out Warm Evo 4G using the XDA app that will somehow never be updated with all these fantastic devs here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Possibly nothing, possibly very very bad things...read some of the forum about issues on each side of using SBC kernels.

To add a bit to what he already mentioned. He seems to have no problems with current radios, I would recommend using 09.01 radio/1.77 PRI with RLS5 no matter the kernel you have (provided you aren't using HTC#15).

I would also look into netarchys kernels, on their own they are superior to stock in almost every way (battery life, smoothness of animations, etc). The other thing I have different from him is that I use JuiceDefender to handle the radios, but it does essentially the same thing. Having 3G turned off when the screen is off is unbelievable for battery, I hardly lose a percentage when the screen is off. The ROM can do this with the Mobile Data Always Enabled option unchecked, but it doesn't work as well IMO. And also I use WiFi whenever possible, at home I am ALWAYS on it.

Hopefully this helps a bit and just so you know, you certainly aren't the only one that has had issues with battery, it is unfortunate it takes a bit more testing and reading to figure it out...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i have left my phone plugged in past 100 % for hours, however there isn't anything wrong with pulling it off at 100%, they are just being cautious which is fine. For me, there have been no issues leaving on charge past 100
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigrob8181:
Alright, I am going to give Netarchy Toastmod - 4.3.2-cfs-nosbc-havs-more a shot.

After doing a little searching, not using SBC. Thanks for the help guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
the other thing is there is no instanteous battery fix outside getting an extended battery...i still use stock that came with it. i have backups but have never used them.

its trial and error really, it took me a few weeks to really get my phone where it is, looks and performance wise. if i am trying a new kernel, i give it 3 full days to judge how it works unless it shows sluggishness or other issues upon flashing. (screen tearing, lag, etc) you will know if it feels right, quadrant scores are bull, if it feels snappy, its snappy and fast, i have tried a few roms but i always come back to myn because its stable, it works and it makes using my phone enjoyable.

Pardon my ignorance here- but I flashed the 2/14 nightly and can't seem to find the market....tried a Titanium restore of 2.2.11 and it just FC's.

What's next? Fingers crossed for EVO2

I have thought this many times; what's next? I absolutely love my EVO and so far I haven't seen anything that really has me excited. I like the Thunderbolt but have absolutely no desire to switch carriers as I'm completely satisfied with Sprint.

As for Warm Z, I'm LOVING IT!:D

As far as the iPhone, I really liked it when first introduced but after running with Android I can't see going to anything else. I love the tweakability and I LOVE flashing!

I really hope there is an EVO successor. I'd be happy with a refresh: updated Snapdragon, more storage, better camera and updated Sense. But the question remains, what next? Development support is key and like many others will be anxious to see what Myn moves to next. I just hope it's on Sprint!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
There is no question there will be an EVO2 this year, from Sprint. It is a matter of when not if. Word on the street is that it could be delayed from the obvious June launch due to the dual cores + WiMax not getting along well with the OS ? That's what I have read.

And sound like T-mobile will be first. They are due to get the "HTC-Pyramid" this May which is said to be the first next gen HTC phone. It is dual core Snapdragon, more memory, mote ram, 4.3" screen, new screen technology...

To me that sounds like an EVO2 spec'd phone and would fully expect Sprint to also get that,with some nicer tweaks too :).

1) connect to WIFI.

2)on phone dialer ##3282# (make sure you have your MSL #, the app can be downloaded from Market "MSL reader")

3)Edit Mode

4)enter password (msl #)

5)Advanced

6)go all the way to the bottom and change HTTP PD Proxy Port for 0

7)change HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0

8) you are done.

I did a regular restart after the changes.

Handcent has a bug that keeps the phone awake.

------

And to people who think T-Mobile will somehow get an "Evo 2". That will never happen. I'm pretty sure the rights to the name are with Sprint just like how Verizon licensed the term "Droid" for themselves for George Lucas. And I've taken note at how a lot of companies have started to copy HTC in terms of their designs. Samsung Infuse 4G, LG Revolution, etc.

I don't know if it's just my phone or if it's Sprint's service, but how in the hell can 200-600 kbps speeds be called "3G"? This has been going on for 2-3 weeks. By some miracle today, I was able to hit 1 Mb down on the Speedtest app. I even Updated Profile and PRL to undo any modifications and still got the same results.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
It has been awhile since I've used LauncherPro, but if my memory serves correctly, you will have to go into menu-settings-applications-running applications and then select HTC Sense and click on clear defaults. At that point, LP should be your default launcher. I may have missed a step or two, but like I aforementioned, it has been awhile. As for DolphinHD, I don't use it. Sorry.

For those having battery issues.....Try

1. Charge your phone til the light turns green, then unplug.

2. Open some apps etc. til you start to see the dip in battery(97-98%)

3. Go into recovery and wipe battery stats(twice if u feel necessary)

Repeat this sequence twice. On your third boot up, charge til green light, unplug and you should see your battery holding charge better.

I read this a while back and do this same procedure every time I flash a rom/kernel. There are many different ways to condition a battery but this way is simple and has worked for me. Good luck!
