I would wipe again and reflash. When you're all booted up, before you restore anything, reboot your phone and see if you can boot normally. I think something that you've restored is not playing nice with this rom and as a result, it's not letting you boot into it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
yea imma try that right now it sucks cause i already restored everything lol ill try to isolate the problem. thank you so much for your help and input on this
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
The only two I really have much to say about:

1) AFAIK, you have always had to send MMS while connected to Sprint (3g/4g), it hasn't ever worked on wifi to my knowledge as MMS requires authentication on their servers.

6) Just appears to be a bit of a graphical thing.

You have to understand this is, for lack of a better term, at the Alpha stage. It isn't even officially in beta yet and Myn and co aren't satisfied with it yet to be one. There are going to be stability issues occasionally and graphical bugs. Once the beta comes out you can post issues to the corresponding bug tracker, til then most stuff is just still a WIP. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of help that can be offered here for a lot of that internal stuff.

Also when posting about your issues, it generally helps to be on the latest version available (there is a 6/1). Nightlies are typically auto-built sometime shortly after midnight eastern.
[EVO 4G Android Development] androidsupra:
little late, lol, but the platform he and virus and others are working on right now is sense2.1 so its better than the evo rom. most of us just want its brains, i mean kernel...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Question: Is overclocking and/or undervolting necessary for this stock kernel? I haven't used a stock kernel in eons and I'm so used to doing that on non-stock ones. But I must say, I've been using this Synergy rom for a few hours and the battery life seems quite good. So maybe undervolting isn't necessary? What do you guys think?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I have yet to try the beta. But it's Sense 2.1? Why are people saying it uses so much space? I've never had to and would like to continue not using A2SD, especially since I'm on the stock 8GB card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
because im guessing it has a lot of files from Sense 3.0 on it which is why we have the 3.0 lockscreen and who knows how big this really was but Myn and company have dropped it a lot from its original. now they just have to keep on trimming it.

and it depends on how many apps you have that you would need it or not. i need it but i dont want to do a2sd like you im on stock and i havent had the chance to buy a new card. i only have like 5 apps i couldnt transfer to my phone because of low space so idk if you would be in the same situation as me
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Sense 3.0 is 300 MB alone I believe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
It isn't 2.1 that is huge, it is mostly the 3.0 additions they made. I would say they really used the bare minimum 2.1 that they had to (for stability) and have added as much Sense 3.0 stuff as they could.

I believe the original dump of the Kingdom rom was somewhere close to ~500mb. Various devs worked for a long time stripping it down under 300mb and using symlinks/other methods to move things around and make it usable. Honestly in this case a2sd is the best route. You can still just use the built in Android method of moving apps to save space, it is just a bit more limited.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
hey i dont know much about a2sd how is it a bit more limited? and theres links around here for finding out how to do it right?

is it alright to do it in a regular stock 8gb card?

does it really wipe out everything on your card? and does it affect your phone in any way?

sorry for all these questions just curious
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Try this guide: http://www.naschenweng.info/2009/09/15/android-partitioning-your-16gb-card

It for an 8gb card as well.

EDIT: This is an even better guide: http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
so i backup the card the method used here right?

imma go get my cable so i could set this up right now then, thanks a bunch
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Yeah...make sure you back up your SD because as mentioned on here and the help guide, this will erase everything on your card.

Also...make sure you use that second guide instead of the first. It's easier to follow and it has pics. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Yea, there are plenty of quick tutorials around xda. The link I have is rather outdated. You would have to back up your card as partitioning requires wiping everything :(.

Ext method:

The way the ext is used, the system actually just thinks it is another partition in the phones internal memory and all user apps are put there. Symlinks are created where the app normally would be pointing to the ext partition, in a sense 'tricking' the system.

Android method:

The built in method (since android 2.2+) of moving to sdcard has to be supported by the app dev (uses .android_secure folder not ext). It isn't done the same way and only certain apps/widgets can be moved to the sdcard. CM/AOSP actually allows the movement of apps not specifically supported by the dev, but sometimes there are issues with widgets not working properly or just not showing up. The ext avoids most of this.

All that said, in general the EVO has enough space without either method. I use the built in method on CM, but a2sd for most Sense stuff as the roms are much larger, especially this 3.0 stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
It's nice to see this thread coming back to life!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
WHAT?! o_O where?! i want pics!!!! lol

okay is it good to just start with a clean slate and only copy music? or is that bad for root? lol idk i have a bunch of things from past roms that are still there lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Don't restore

anything

yet. When you boot up for the first time after flashing, do a normal reboot and see if you get into the rom ok. If so, then you can start adding things slowly until you narrow down the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
yea that is what i was gonna do i know its gonna take a while to do that lol but as long as it runs smooth i dont care lol

so yea you mentioned one that had pics for the SD card? i was wondering about that since i didnt see it in the link
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
yea i knew about the android method i was always interested in it but yea never found a good guide lol it would be perfect for this rom since its so big! and ive seen ppl have a lot of space left by doing a2sd so i want to be able to do that lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
No...lol...this link (http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/) has more visuals to help you out with the app2sd process and the directions are very clear and concise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
it says amon ra does it on its own, is that true? o_O or is it better to follow the instructions, sorry about all of this lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] androidsupra:
FYI, with the use of these a2sd methods, it is not recommended to use the built in froyo a2sd, some say it can cause with loading apps
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Just follow the instructions. It will clear everything up. The only thing I'd change is that you should use or continue to use Amon_RA recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
pics are important - i learned that at an early age -

checking out my older brother's Playboy magazines

isn't odex vs deodex , and sometimes moving dalvik cache,

a factor in available memory ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Hahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
LOL...

Anyway, I've heard that odexed roms give you more storage than deodexed. I've been told that was because of the lack of themed elements. I've almost always been on deodexed roms so I'm not sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
lowetax your hilarious lol

okay so i went over the link i got for this and i was wondering, would it be okay if i wipe my whole sd card without backing up everything or would that cost more hassle than its worth? i want to start fresh and partition it like that so i have absolutely nothing on it, is that possible without breaking root?

if not let me know and ill backup it up with the other link vanessaem was kind of enough to give me.

thanks :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
That's up to you. If you don't want to save anything on your card, then by all means start fresh. But doing the SD card partitioning process will erase everything on your card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Milly7:
That is the only minor bug I have had with this port. I restored my contacts via mybackup pro and all numbers show up as unknown. What I did notice is once I click on a contact to call the contact name and pic show up in call log. Just a minor bug. All else works for me on this rom. Only thing I have not tried is 4g.

Also, battery is not bad considering I have been using my phone since I flashed.... Display is at 85%, but to be expected with the screen on playing my favorite apps.... great work guys... will donate Friday to u all...
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Vanessa,

One can completely theme an odex rom! :-)

http://themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=215&sid=ee4444db30ac1e07de71183a301c865a

The Reason why odex gives you more user data is because of this:

dalvik-cache is in data.

deodex apps (ie market apps) utilize dalvik-cache

deodex system apps also utilize dalvik-cache (in data partition)

odex apps (ie stock OTA system apps) have an .odex counterpart (apk and odex file remain in system partition)

dalvik vm calls from .odex and does not need to create dex in dalvik-cache (in data)

Thus, dalvik-cache is only used for data/app/ and not system/app/ and system/framework/, resulting in more rom for user data.

It has nothing to do with lack of theming. Most theming size is in png, and odex theming as far as imaging is same as deodex. It is only different when theming smali....but only an extra two steps...

:-)

hey, idk what im doing wrong i cant make adb run.

i installed it in my C:\

so i do C:\Android\android-sdk\ and then type in adb shell reboot recovery and it doesnt read the adb command it installed all the drivers from what i know so idk what im doing wrong now... im looking in other sites for actual tutorials but i see nothing different from what im doing
[EVO 4G Android Development] whatsleft4her:

[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Personally, I love running a2sd. With WarmZ I have 60 or 70 apps installed from market and still have about 340mb free. I know I don't NEED that much space, but it's comforting knowing that I can install apps to my hearts content and not worry about running out of space. I'd love for them to get synergy to a place where it has nearly as much free space.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
mmm...for everyone else. I know it's June...and there are tornado warnings in jersey...

:-)

and link is for sense 3.0 camera to work side by side with sense 2.1 camera. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Exactly :)

One of the new cool features in Synergy is a no fuss apps2sd implementation :)

If it detects you hae an ext3 partition, it will automagically use it for apps2sd.

Sorry to say the current nightlies have an issue with the weather app when you click from the widget. We're working on a fix now :)

Exactly :)

Yup. Our hopes are to evolve future versions of Synergy to that platform too :)

Thanks for reporting this. We'll be fixing this too.

I will reiterate this again. The goal for Synergy is to be an uber stable 100% working rom. We will by no means employ a feature if it breaks something.

This rom is coming together nicely.

We'll be using the kernel, boot, libs, bin, xbin but thats about it. After experiencing Sense 2.1+, it will be really hard to go back to Sense 1.0.

Great explanation :)

On another note we are working on the BootAnimation now. Here is one of the concepts:

[YOUTUBE]eTTivOMQGOU[/YOUTUBE]

Also note tonights 06/2/2011 nightly may not be exactly ready for prime time. We had a ton of last minute commits and reverting into our svn repo tonight right before the automated build at 1:00am EST launched so I would advise to not flash tonights autobuild. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
thanks dude - some brewskys sent ya way

will check it out !
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:

[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
damn myn you and your team know how to build a really amazing rom, as of right now this rom is extremely usable and i am glad that your even more committed to improving it than how it is now

as for the boot animation it looks really good and very unique i think a darker color would be pretty cool too if its doable

thanks for the head up about the nightly ill cancel my download then!
[EVO 4G Android Development] teddy_ballgame3:
all this is missing that i see is netflix and a semi transparent rosie :)

is there any way i can swap a semi transparent rosie? i loved the one Virus used on the kingdom port! very sleek!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I have to voice my displeasure with that boot animation. It might cause me to reboot my phone repeatedly just to watch it...:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Myn, so are you using an implementation of DT's a2sd script, or are you using another method? Here is why I ask. Under WarmZ (and even Warm2.2) I would move apps and cache to the ext partition and end up with about 340-350mb free. I can install a bunch of apps and my free space doesn't drop too much below this amount.

When I first installed synergy I had about 239mb free. I installed a couple apps and my free space would drop a few meg or so. Thinking that perhaps I needed to activate a2sd, I used adb to issue a2sd commands but I received a message that the commands could not be found. Like a dummy I flashed the DT a2sd script and my available space immediately dropped to 152mb, so it would seem that you aren't using the DT scripts. If not, how can I move cache over to ext? Or is it even necessary on synergy?

thanks for everyone who helped me today with partitioning, i found out what had gone wrong, for some reason the adb tools got moved to platform-tool now in the newest sdks idk how i missed that but thanks again everyone :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
thanks again guy - panorama works !
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
you can add that platform-tool folder to environment/path

or copy these files to windows/system32 (as i did)

so when i want to adb

i hold shift key down and right click on folder i want to use

and select open command window here

and yer all set to go

that's also good for me for when i don't want to pull battery:

plug in evo - click on start on pc - cmd - adb reboot (recovery)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
damn thanks lowetax ill do that asap so that i can do it quicker from my laptop next time

the only problem im having is that i could get the rom to install but it stays in the HTC screen so ill just leave it there for now maybe it will work. how long would it really take from a completely wiped SD card? 10-20mins?

just did your advice and works like a charm that is amazing! thanks for the tip

i did it! 209MB now fresh install, thanks again lowetax you helped me a lot

Been ribbon.g for a few days and this Rom is awesome!!.....gotta ask.....u guys doing a full wipe for each daily release?.....thanks guys....much appreciated
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I always do a full and thorough wipe before flashing each release (or any beta rom's that I may test, for that matter). It's beta, and needs to be tested. It's hard to an accurate assessment of the rom's true performance and what not if you're not doing full wipes. Framework could change from day to day and things could get messed up if you don't wipe. So I say a full wipe is the best way to get an accurate judgment of the rom. If you don't do a full wipe, and you get any weird issues, I'd suggest doing a full wipe and reflashing before you determine if any issues are actually a real problem or not. Just my thoughts on the matter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
Hey guys just found out about synergy, which nightly is the most stable so far so I know which one yo try? Cuz I seen Myn say lastnights had a few issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
6/1 is solid
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
Thanks alot
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
I only had one person respond with no real answer. I'm on my second EVO and the same problem still exists. Whenever I turn on my phone or restart it, 4G automatically turns on. How do I make sure that it turns off and stays off. I'm not sure what causes this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whatsleft4her:
Figured out on synergy 6/01 that if you are getting f/c's when selecting the weather from the widget try opening the weather from the app draw first let it load fully. Then try opening it from the widget i did it once then decided to reflash the rom after another full wipe and set it up like that again and it worked the same way!
[EVO 4G Android Development] agreeler:
This happened to me too. Not really sure what I did, but one day it got fixed and I was happy. I think I just played with the toggles in the settings menus as well as the pull-down one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :/ you could always re-flash without wiping user data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mutant13:
Ive done two installs of 6/1 still get FC on weather, but weather it works after i hit force close.... and after first reboot gps stays on?.... so far for not being released this is a great rom

[EVO 4G Android Development] billyapd21:
Can someone dump the wallpaper files from the 6/1 nightly build? I like the stock one that is applied when you first flash. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
That always used to happen to me with certain roms. What stopped it was me removing the 4g toggle from the notification widgets all together.

The only left over you gonna have are applications.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Glad you are partitioned okay now. I saw a couple of the links that were suggested to you, but I'm curious as to why you didn't just partition from recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Until this is in beta stage, I'd recommend full wipes. We're in the process of rearranging things to maximize /system to give more room on /data so definitely wipe between the next few nightlies :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Right, and the settings for the apps. Which is he stated was happening. He was doing a fresh install and when he restored apps, the settings were already there.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:

[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
Did you wipe ext3, found out that was my problem. If not that selecting keep this device backed up in google will restore some apps automatically.

Is there a way to match right rosie button with internet icon. Don't like net being paintbrush and palette.

It must have been the google thing because I wiped everything again after doing the partition but just found it odd that it was all there immediately first boot without me having to even sign in since it was done already too

In my case only the app, for the setting i had to use Titanium to restore them!
