With Warm-Z now available, does this mean this thread is now dead, or will Myn add to this once 4g gets worked into the Z series?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
this thread will slow down considerably..

but every page will have a post asking...when's RLS6 coming, blah blah.

it will come when myn is ready, derek has been a very very busy bee lately.

we are still waiting for a sensed up GB release from HTC. which i bet will be in March, now that nexus phones got their official GB updates(upgrade for the nexus s) and the EVO was the first phone to get official froyo after the nexus one when it got froyo, just going on past history, it looks like we should be getting it soon. CTIA would be a good time to announce that...along with the next phone in line to replace the EVO...i love my EVO, but EVO2 would be nice (the pyarmid specs point at one that could be nice) i think sprint and HTC have something good up their sleeves, still.

the question really now is...will HTC ship sense 2.0 or will it be 1.0 as we have now, or a variation? i would love 2.0 after seeing warm z. and which version of GB will be getting, 2.3 or 2.3.3 (hopefully the latter) i know my patience will be worth it.

i still plan to run RLS5, i love it, it works, and i make it look good. lol.

but i had my first issue i have noticed, its an odd one, my notification pulldown kinda goes wonky, it randomly pulls down, flickers like its about to pull down etc, havent changed anything lately in phone, so i am not sure what is causing it...a full power down and reboot fixes it. first issue i have had, ever on RLS5. i think maybe its a kernel thing or touchscreen issue, because when its doing it, i can't do anything else on the screen...thats what i think may be the root cause is the touchscreen...its annoyin, but nothing major.

btw, for those following at home, I am now back at home recovering, no more evil hospital. god I hate hospitals. still another good 6-8 weeks of recovery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
From a few articles I read recently it seems like most companies will just be updating to 2.4 (still GB) when that gets released in the coming months. 2.3 seems to be reserved the Nexus S. Kind of speculation at this point but who knows. Also I see no reason the EVO would be the next phone HTC would focus on, in fact I highly doubt we would be anywhere near the front of the line on their priority list (thunderbolt, desirehd, desirez and other devices releasing soon need updating too). It is just the way the cell phone industry works now, it is always on to the next one. The most frustrating part is the 1 year (or less) development cycles, with all the 2 yr contracts. I would much rather lose the subsidized pricing, pay closer to 400-500 retail for the device and not be tied down. Europe has got this one right!

I think we will get a GB update, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it until middle to late spring (Apr-May)...

Glad you're home and I hope your recovery goes well. I too for one will be holding down the fort on RLS5 ROM because I love it too much to part with it and have had no problems whatsoever. My phone just works, is gorgeous and still the envy of many, especially those unrooted of various makes and models. I just want to know when Myn finally decides to move on to a new phone, what he gets cause I'll be following him like the PITA little brother. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Everytime I go into recovery and then back to my homescreen, I see an increase in battery level which leads me to believe that battery monitoring within Sense is not accurate thus partially the reason for the depicted battery drainage. Of course, I'm only speculating.

I, too, am super-glad you're home recovering, JB. I spent a month in hospital last year and the day I got home was an awesome day. (Although I did miss one really cute nurse...oh, and the intravenous Dilaudid wasn't bad either!).

And I, too, will be continuing with R5. I've tried WarmZ a few times and really loved it, but I'm too much of an old dog to learn too many new tricks, and R5 has just the right tricks for me.

And I live on 4G, so I will make a serious effort to switch up when Z gets it. Sense 2 really has promise, but I have a deep need for speed...

We'll miss all you guys who are leaving us for the WarmZ R1 thread (which is already 49 pages!!). Drop in and say hello sometime.

We'll be here, carrying the torch.

anyone else get this browser issue

O.k browser worked perfectly for 1 month. Now the browser is impossible to use ass a full browser tried to turn flash on/off tried ondemand no dice, just flashed the slow browser fix... no dice. everything works still get 10 mbps down in Minnesota on 4g, stream hd movies from tversity, over 4g works perfectly PM me or just qoute me on a question if you need help with that. 4g tethering is as smooth as butter and as fast as lightning. it loads up mobile and touch sites perfectly but when i try to load up anything else(regular) browser, it takes for ever.

Saw a PhoneDog review on youtube earlier on browser load times on android so i decided to try to load to phoneDog website as a speed comparison before and after the slow browser fix update, 4 minutes before and 3.5 minutes after, xda usually takes about 2 minutes, does anyone know a true fix for this?

die hard RLS 5 with Koni evo elite theme

at least till after april 18th !

dumb question:

when i use 3g everything loads in right away.

i go to devils game, or in nyc, turn on 4g, and it loads in right away.

i didn't see any difference in what i use - web, text, email, etc.

for you guys (and girls, if any left!)

is there much difference in speed in how it affects the apps that you're using ?

you know, real world/usage

like how much time is saved by using 4g ?

Call notifcation lag

Im still having issued the call notifications. My phone will ring and light up the screen to only show inital lock screen. it takes maybe 3 rings for the caller ID to show up and once that happens maybe one ring till goes to VM.

Any suggestions? Ive tried other backups and even is occuing on warm Z now back on RLS5 for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Although Warm Z is nice and fast, I don't foresee it being my daily driver. RLS5 is set up and running nicely and I don't know about you, but Z gives me sort of a "big brother is watching" feeling with all of the automatic backup/restores, etcetera. Anyway, like you, I'll still be active in this thread, my friend...;)

I don't remember the differences between 3 and 4 :) (maybe I'm thinking of 3?). All I know is that 5 doesn't have the same incredible battery life that the other two did...Which is really why I like Myn's ROMs.

I've also thought about CM7 once it's not just RC's and Nightlys, but I'm not sure yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
Yeah - I just got my RLS5 set up exactly like I like it - I don't forsee my self switching any time soon... Still actually trying to figure out the whole battery life issue with RSL5. I get really crappy battery life right now with that stock kernel #15... Im gonna try to switch to a few other kernels over the next few weeks and see if there are any better options for me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Interesting. I was late into this game, so I only had the pleasure of the RLS5 experience. So the feeling is RLS3 was faster than 5? Any other advantage? Hearing people want to downgrade to a previous release got my attention.

And like probably like everyone else still left in this thread, RLS5 will still be my daily driver.

Since some issues people have with Z was born from this ROM was originally from a device without these features, what will become of Thunderbolt's ROM? It seems that sense 2.0 device shares alot capabilities/features with the EVO. Just food for thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
It's all preference. Maybe it's just me (forgive me Myn) but RLS 5 just didn't feel as polished as it's predecessors. 3 and 4 were in beta for a long time, and even the beta was only released once Myn had done extensive testing himself. I was a beta tester for 3,4, and 5 and I didn't find a SINGLE bug in 3 and 4...but the Nightlies in 5 felt more like TRUE betas. Maybe it's just me (and I have the opinion that nightlies are dirty lol). Either way, it's all up to preference :). I do know for a fact however, that 3 and 4 have better battery life than 5 :) (via testing with my, and 4 other phones).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I have never believed any algorithm to determine battery level down to 1% has been all that accurate. Mine changes like that all the time when rebooting or flashing something. Usually it comes up with more than it showed previously. It takes me back to WinMo because all of the 1% increment tweaks were inaccurate, these batteries weren't really meant to be called out down to every 1%.

I don't think it is that much different with Android, Sense is probably worse because HTC probably uses their own method/calculation. If I had to guess I'd argue they are good down to about +/- 3-5% so it really just gives a bit of an overview...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Agreed. I thought the battery life in RLS3 was magnificant and that was long before I purchased my Seido extended battery.

I enjoyed CM6 and I'm sure I'll eventually give CM7 a try when it is complete, but I like the look & feel of Sense roms too much to abandon Myn's.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I'm in agreement with you on this, my friend. As for my battery, I consider it full when after 60 seconds of being unplugged, it immediately shows a green LED if I plug it back in or the battery monitor widget still displays 100%. When those things occur, I easily enjoy great battery life.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I definitely encourage you to try different kernels. Also, try various ways to ensure you're getting a complete battery charge. There are at least a couple of us here who are suspect of the algorithm used to determine charge capacity.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Like Greenfieldan mentioned, although RLS5 is a very good rom & worth its praises, the previous releases seemed a bit more stable and the battery life was indeed better. I would also agree with his assessment that RLS5 felt like a true beta during its beta stage in comparison to 3 & 4.

Help with Apps2SD please

I decided to give this ROM a try... I'm coming from another that I used Apps2SD and I still had over 100MB of storage space left on the phone.

For some reason even though I Partitioned the SD card for a 1GB ext:sd partition it's showing up as only 350MB (and mostly full) partition. What gives?

Also, Apps2SD says that the ext4:sd partition is not mounted. Does this rom support ext4?

Also, is there a way to have TB automatically reinstall a2sd capable apps to the sd card when I use the restore function?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
I reported this problem on Haus's root forum, as I also noticed it yesterday. I also have a2sd on my sdcard. Flash back to Amon Ra's 2.3. I'll keep an eye on the Haus solution, and let you know when it's fixed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
I do not believe Myns rom supports an ext4 partition, at least I've never been able to implement it.

Here is the best setting for Myns using Dark Tremors a2sd (NOT APPS2SD program)

Cache 512mb, Ext: 1024, Ext3.

With this setup, I have no problem restoring programs back to their original location when I format sd:ext and either restore during recovery, or restore apps, using the latest TI backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
I've always been of the mindset that 4G (wimax) for the Evo is more gimmick than anything. I supposedly have 4G in my city (except for that big hole in the 4G map which my house sits squarely in the middle of). Even when I am in an excellent coverage area, it is hard to comparatively tell the difference between 4G and 3G. My speed tests are also so close, it's not worth the extra battery for me to use 4G. Our 3G network seems very mature and is fast with an avg. 1.5mb down. When I use 4G it seems to fluctuate broadly which causes pages or apps to download and behave more erratically.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
When I use 4G, which is often, my phone does not act sluggish or display erratic behavior. It's not uncommon for me to be connected via 4G, running the wireless tether app and have other devices tethered, downloading a rom as well as reading and posting in this forum simultaneously without any hiccups.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Wayno-san:
Alright... I'll give this a shot. Do I need to enable the "Old A2sd" in the spare parts settings? It's still strange that it was showing 350MB when I never partitioned anything to that size. You recommend ext3 over ext2?

I used ext2 before (on the other ROM) w/o any issues. I understand it's supposed to be faster?

New Microsd card

I recently purchased a Patriot microsd card from newegg.com, here in so. cal. I wanted to get a class 10 32 gb microsd card, in order to be able to compare it with the Class 4 (supposedly) card I purchased from Sandisk. Turns out the Sandisk card was actually a class 2 card. I bought the Sandisk card last year for $161.00 from Sandisk.

The Patriot card is only $93.00 from newegg, and it is indeed a class 10 card. Works great, no problems. I backed up my Sandisk contents to my laptop last night, and unmounted it. Pulled the card, inserted the Patriot card and formatted it on my evo. Then I booted into Amon Ra recovery, and partitioned my sd card to accept a2sd. Then I replaced all of my files from the Sandisk sdcard onto my Patriot card while still in Amon Ra.

I then flashed a2sd while still in recovery. Booted up. I had to go to the market to install android terminal, then installed DT a2sd with:

a2sd install

Phone rebooted

a2sd check

Dalvik cache still on internal

a2sd cachesd

Phone rebooted

a2sd check

everything was working properly with Dark Tremor's a2sd.

Booted back to recovery, and restored my nandroid.

Phone booted up (eventually) and now my apps load and run alot faster than they did with my Sandisk card. Especially with the read-ahead tweak provided by Neil.

I did originally get a bad Patriot card that I had to return. However, newegg did not charge me anything, and shipped out my replacement in two days. Here is the link to the Patriot sdcard from newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547

Right now, you can get a $10.00 visa card if you buy this sdcard starting today through the 26th. An even better deal than I got!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I asked this question before in other threads, but got no response.

Which is better, dalvik cache on SD:ext (with a class10 card) or dalvik cache on main memory and apps on SD:ext?

I've see it suggested both ways. For performance, which is better? But I guess you can enter into some trouble, still recoverable, if dalvik is on SD and something happens to the card.

So, I used "a2sd nocache". Any feedback?

Edit: frankpreyes, I thought RLS5 already had DT a2sd built in. Sorry, I don't know if you're running an older RLS; just asking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
Rls 5 does, but it is not the latest (beta) version that does not have the problems Myns version of a2sd has.

I think using your sd card for dalvik cache AND apps is faster in performance, but slower from a nandroid or rom flash to the point where your phone boots back up. This is true for both the class 2 card and the class 10 card, as I have tried both. I backup my cards and create an image file on my laptop, just in case I ever lose an sdcard, and either need to replace or reformat. Only drawback, for a 32gb sdcard, you get a 32gb image file.

Also make sure zipalign runs from boot, as this affects performance.

I recently compared my sons Evo (hdwr 003) without a2sd, running Myns rls 5, with my setup (same rom, HTC 17 kernel, a2sd install, hdwr 002). My setup is noticeably faster than his running apps, but slower to boot up from recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
What problems with the included a2sd do you speak of? I wasn't aware of an issue.

And by selecting zip-align in bootup inside spare parts sufficient?

From my EVO when I should probably be doing something else instead.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I've just finished installing RLS3 and now I'm in the process of setting up my homescreens like I had them while using RLS5. I will indeed flash Ziggy's momentarily. I had one minor hiccup during installation..Well, it had nothing to do with the installation because the rom installed flawlessly, however, amon RA 2.3 HAUS MOD did NOT properly wipe my device and that was in conjunction with Calkulin's format-all zip. After the installation, all of my apps that I installed under RLS5 were present. I couldn't believe it. I simply reinstalled the final version of amon RA 2.3 via adb and then did another complete wipe. After reflashing the rom, my apps were no longer present. I'll stick with the 2.3 final and leave the Haus Mod version alone.

3G speeds using RLS 5 were okay and I can never get a steady signal at my house or I should say some days are better than others with regard to 3G signals from my house. Away from home, the signal is magnificent and just about on par with Warm Z but not on the level of 4G. not bad though. I haven't tried to tether via 3G. Now that I have RLS3 installed, I'll give it a try a little later and report my findings to you later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Yea, I posted along with others here that it appears it doesn't mount the sd-ext properly because it can't wipe it, or the dalvik cache on it...:( Sadly I didn't realize this despite using it for a week or so. I think it was because I was on CM7 and don't use a2sd with it, so I figured it was just skipping it, but then realized it was a mounting error...

I'm finding a lot of gross misinformation and terrible assumptions in this thread...

I recently flashed the RLS5 onto my Evo and I really like the speed of the interface, however I have to say the internet speeds are worse than my old Verizon 1xrtt mobile web!!!

Before flashing the RLS5 I performed a backup of my unmolested completely stock Sprint ROM where I have a speedtest result of 8.1mpbs down, and 2.4mbps up. Flashing RLS5 my 4g down is 186kbps and 14kbps up. That is absolutely and pathetically UNACCEPTABLE! Literally right now, right this very second I can restore my phone back to default and run the speed test obtaining similar LIGHTNING fast results, then flash back to RLS5 and enjoy the pathetic speeds without moving from my location or my desk.

Google.com takes 97 seconds to open and fully load!!!!!

I have flashed the latest baseband. I have flashed the latest wimax version. I have updated the PRL. I have updated the profile! NOTHING MAKES _ANY_ Difference!!

I spent 6 1/2 hours reading through this thread and searching google with the only explanation further adding I should download adfree and update it, which naturally changed nothing.

Seriously, what the HELL is going on here? I REALLY want to use this ROM, but the speeds are so slow gmail takes 20 minutes to update my mailbox!

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Myn incorporated adfree into RLS5 and more than likely, the host files are outdated. He did this to help us fight against ads in games, apps and while surfing the web. You can go into the market and download and install the adfree app and either click revert or click update host files. After rebooting your device, you should see your internet browsing speeds improve greatly.
