Both of you...a suggestion: Mount your phone to Disk Drive. Click the "Computer" icon then right click on the SD Card. Choose Properties, then Tools, then under Error Checking hit Check Now. Check off BOTH boxes and let it run...it'll take a while, but not only will it clean it up, it'll isolate and/or restore bad sectors...

I think this will resolve, at very least, your hinkey SD issues.

And, Bronx, I believe you may have to reflash the read-ahead zip after installing a new kernel, (and a new ROM), especially if it has one built into it. You can always flash the kernel, then run that "cat..." command line to see what the cache is at, bfeore reflashing one.

I'd bet the devs will all start writing caches into kernels, it simply doesn't make sense not to.

Here's the Warm2.2 Black themed Market.

After installing it, go into Titanium Backup and "freeze" the Market Updater. This'll keep the Market from updating itself. You may also have to reset permissions.

You will continue to get notifications when other things have updates, too. I did this a few weeks ago, when everyone else was getting the OTAs, and my Market hasn't updated.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
If you don't want any of the other themed Markets, and you don't mind not being updated to the most recent version (whats the difference, anyways?), then here is the vending.apk that came with RLS5, themed black. I pulled it right out of the ROM. You need to push it with adb, or use root explorer to put it in /system/app, and make sure root explorer is mounted r/w, and that you set the permissions correctly, then reboot. If you use adb, then navigate to the folder where you put the Vending.apk, and do :"adb remount", then "adb push Vending.apk /system/app" That will give you Myn's market back. To prevent it from updating again, either use titanium backup pro to freeze marketupdater.apk, or use root explorer to change the name of marketupdater.apk, to disable it. That will stop your market from automatically updating.

Edit: Neil beat me to it! As usual, I'm a little too late with my reply.

Yea that's what I did and the cat thing does say 256 but I'm going to run a scan and see if there is a problem. I'm only hesitant cause I have a2sd and also way back when I first tried the scan disk, I think it messed up some stuff cause it hasn't worked properly since. But then again I could be paranoid. I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks fire the advise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
If you're using a2sd the scan disk can't mess it up. Windows can't 'see' ext(2/3/4) partitions. If you notice, your SD card won't show its full size. I have an 8gb class 6 with a 500mb ext3 partition. The card shows up as 7.08gb, which is what the filesystem is, minus the ext3 partition. So as far as Windows is concerned my ENTIRE SD CARD is only 7.08gb, not 8gb. The disk scan doesn't touch the ext filesystem at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Spot on.

I don't use A2SD, but I recall reading a while ago about the ext3 being "invisible". So the disk check should help.

I only had that information handy 'cause I just had to do it! I made the noob mistake of leaving my phone set to Disk Drive and unplugging it from the computer. Bork.

The disk check did find, and isolate, 2 bad sectors, which fortunately was mostly my Download directory, and I had it backed up on my laptop.

Time for a new card. I'm on ebay tonight looking for an insane SD deal...

[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
SMS Backup & Restore, free in the Market.

I've used it throught the last 2 versions of the ROM and all it's incarnations on my EVO, and haven't lost a message yet. I have it set to keep a running file of my SMS in the background, and can do single, partial and full restores.

And, yes, it'll keep them in a readable format.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
Thanks for the info guys. I did run the error check on my sd card and it did find bad sectors. Just did a cold reboot on my phone and waiting for everything to load up before I check it out. And yes I officially thanked you guys as well, lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Optimal Carnage:
I can confirm that it is indeed the A5_GB_ColoredMenus that was causing the invisible text problem for myself and most likely the others. I just restored from a nandroid and my themed black market is frozen and working great. The only feature left out currently is the A5_GB_ColoredMenus.

I'm really bummed out about this too because I loved the GB_ColoredMenus. I hope there is a fix for this soon. The stock menus are so boring!!!

Also - would this teak/mod work on other devices? Such as my Nook Color :D?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yes and it should, yes. The reason this isn't affected by swapping kernels is simply because it's not part of the kernel. It's a system file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Optimal Carnage:
No I got the GB_Menus from [Theme/Mods] Konikub's Theme Collection (1-13-11) Evo Elite + GB Colored Menus!!!

His version of the GB Menus are colored and the notification bar icons have been re-themed. But the version that I like is for A5 and it's causing problems with invisible/translucent text. He does have a less "snappy" version available but I didn't care for it much.

If your having issues with battery life on your Evo try the technique posted here:

Battery problem, try this. I was extremely satisfied with the results I got after following these steps, and I noticed the difference immediately! I hope it helps. I'm currently using the Sprint 2600 mAh and after balance charging the battery (ABOVE) I get 12+ hrs with moderate/heavy usage. It can't hurt to give it a try to save some cash!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I don't know man. I've tried everything, including that. Battery life goes down almost as fast as with the stock battery. I mean it definitely lasts longer, but still. I got credited back the cost of the battery, so it didn't cost me anything. I'll see how much this one will cost with the discount. The cost would be whatever the store pays for it, plus 5%.

Slightly off topic, but the more I see of Honeycomb the more I want it :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] unleet:
I love this ROM. but I had one issue after installing it. When I was to go to the dialer under some of the contacts instead of the number it would say something about "Need 8 Digit PLU code" (it didn't say this on every contact). Also I realized I was unable to set-up sync for me Facebook contacts (it wouldn't let me set it up). I am guessing this is somewhat related (no Facebook HTC Sense is causing this?).

Since I only rooted once before (Hero) I am sure this is something I am stupid about. I really love this Rom and wanted to keep using it. Any idea?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
i think ice cream when it comes out will be like honeycomb, but for phones not tablets. I am sure honeycomb will get ported to phones, once they modify the UI for phones, its made for tablet screen sizes, not phones, as far as i understand.

would be nice, for now just waiting for HTC to drop an official GB with sense for our EVO's...and hope they are updating sense to whats on the desire HD.

I am happy with where my phone is now....and how its working and looks.

anyone using weatherbug (elite or free) notice wakelocks if its sleeping and you are using another program to shut radios off during screen off? the past few days I have noticed it, never noticed it before, in 2 hours it will knock 10% off my battery just sitting there...though it verifies that green power is doing what it is supposed to do when phone is off. i do like weatherbug, but i have froze it for now.

does the 256 read ahead, work well with stok 8 GB cards? i use ziggys so the 128 is already there.

yes, just change the value to whatever you want in text edit.

but upon reboot it will revert to default of 4, unless the kernel has a built in setting, or Neil's value, if you have flashed one his zip files.

i have mybackup for root. thanks tt !

rename your mp3 file to SPC_animation_final.mp3

then you should be good to go!

This is a recurring problem with Weatherbug Elite for me. It happens intermittently whether I am using Juice Defender or not. It will be fine for a few weeks or so and suddenly start causing wake locks again. The only thing that has worked for me has been to uninstall it, then reinstall it. It has fixed it every time, but only temporarily. It has been a month or two since it last wake locked on me.

try signing out of latitude, i think it causes that issue. or reboot, i only got that issue once or twice, it was always after a fresh flashing of a ROM.

frankoid - sd card read ahead buffer

FYI

we know the why - here's the how ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[frankoid] Today, 08:37 AM

# Re: good morning

-------------------------------

Hi Lowetax,

[lowetax pm to frankoid]

i'm in Myn's thread, and they are beating this sd card read ahead buffer thing to death ! :)

i put in a shout out for you in that thread since, from what i can tell checking out xda,

you were the first to look into it and post something -

back in October 2010.

[frankoid reply]

Thanks :)

[lowetax pm to frankoid]

my question...

how were you able to find out about this buffer ?

and ...

what other goodies are there waiting to be discovered ?

[frankoid reply]

I noticed that my SD card speed was lower after upgrading to Froyo from Eclair because when I played music in Froyo and did other stuff that used the SD card the music would drop out.

I benchmarked HTC's version of Froyo, HTC's version of Eclair and CM6 (i.e. Froyo without Sense) and found that HTC Eclair and CM6 had good SD speeds and only HTC Froyo was slow. I had a hunch that it was something to do with the kernel so in the end I flashed a HTC Froyo kernel to a HTC Eclair firmware, and since this resulted in slow speeds I knew it was definitely something to do with the kernel.

Then I had to wait until HTC released the Froyo kernel source so that I could diff the 3 kernel sources and experiment with copying parts of the CM6 and HTC Eclair kernel sources to the to the Froyo ones, compiling installing and testing. At first I tried to port the SD card driver from CM6 to HTC Froyo but didn't manage to come up with a kernel that worked and had good SD speeds. In the end I found that the problem had nothing to do with the SD card driver. I noticed that HTC had reduced the VM_MAX_READAHEAD and VM_MIN_READAHEAD defines, so I compiled a Froyo kernel with them reverted to the old values and bingo, I got fast SD speeds.

I then released the patch, and after a while someone (sibere I think) pointed out that you can tweak the readahead using /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb, meaning that no kernel patch is needed. Since then I've been running the stock kernel but with a line added to init.rc that writes 128 to read_ahead_kb on startup (as described at http://xdaforums.com/show...01#post9026201).

By the way, if you're increasing the readahead beyond 128K based on larger values giving better benchmark values then you should be aware that large readahead values will give better performance for sequential reads but not for random small reads. If the benchmark you're using only does sequential reads then massive readeahead values will give good benchmark results but not necessarily good real-world performance.

As for what other goodies there may be, who knows... :)

when my phone is charging, some apps (i.e. dolphin browser, google maps, live scores) close unexpectedly during use. when it's not plugged in charging the apps run fine. does that mean the kernel is incompatible with my phone? or is something else thats likely causing the crashing?

Oh Great and Powerful MYN, (or anyone, actually...),

Since that little punk, EVO Shift, is out, what are the chances of borrowing/porting the rotating homescreen to this ROM?

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] flyboy1100:
Warm Z?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
I don't see that happening with his time and effort going into warm z.

I know it's good to have the landscape option, but with your home screens already tricked out on standard portrait mode, what would you do differently with landscape mode ?

plus you set it up for landscape, then you have to be holding it that way all the time for your optimal setup.

even when I was using the Z builds,having landscape/rotating available, I like holding the evo in its natural portrait mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
I agree, up to a point. However, some things simply look better in landscape.

So on another note, my phone is having a hardware issue. The bottom left corner of my screen creaks and squeaks when I push on it, and that quadrant of my screen has way to much give. I returned my first Evo for screen lifting (among other things), and this appears to be a similar issue. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

I don't know if this is a Rom issue or a theme issue. But I'm using Myn's rom plus the Aloysius 5 theme and what I've been noticing is that anything, whether a internet site or app that has a white background, doesn't show the words. It's like the words blend in with the white wallpaper. For example I downloaded the "ICE" app from the market (free version) and when I went to open it, it was blank. However, if I were to press on different parts of the screen, then it would show boxes for you to input your information...name, address, allergies etc. But as soon as I remove my finger, the words blend right back in with the background and it looks like nothing is there.

Is there a fix for this? Have anyone else had this issue?
