[EVO 4G Android Development] x130844:
once every month, make sure you do the full battery calib.

and make sure you clean the dalvik cache manually (su in a terminal, and rm * once you're cd to the dalvik directory).

I found that the clean caches/dalvik from the recovery mode doesn't do crap.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
First, it isn't good to do the 'full calib' once a month with these Li-Ion batteries (do not have memory). Doing it a few times here and there doesn't hurt much, but there is no reason to do it that often. It will likely reduce the life of the battery as well. Now you may get rid of the phone long before you see any affect of this battery degradation, but it isn't going to give you better life. It is, however, good to wipe caches often, especially if you don't flash other things that require it all that often.

(If you are just talking about the charging 8 hrs, using phone til it drops, charging til green+30 min, turning off the phone plug in and out like 8-10 times waiting for it to turn green each time, then that is different and can be helpful.)

Second, I would love to see some evidence of wiping caches from recovery not working (it was an issue some months ago, but have not heard much on that recently). I have my dalvik cache on my ext with sense roms, when I go to CM7, I do not use my ext, so I wipe everything off of it. Apps and dalvik cache. I have done this both manually and while in recovery, getting the same results; a clean blank ext. There is no reason to believe wiping the cache partition is any different.

Just a thought, if wiping caches in recovery didn't work, it wouldn't take longer to boot after you do it (while the system is recreating necessary caches)...I am interested in being proven otherwise, I just am not sure where you are getting this info from.
[EVO 4G Android Development] knightwolf123:

i would add, goto recovery, wipe battery sats... run battery all the way down to like 5%. recharge overnight, cross fingers
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
I followed the instructions to install this ROM, everything seemed to install fine. After restoring my apps and data via Titanium Backup, the phone boots up, but when it tries to go to my home screen, I keep getting the message "HTC Sense failed" and I have to select Force Stop. It then tries to load and go to my home screen, but then the HTC Sense error nag comes up again. It's as if it's stuck in this endless loop. In short, I can't get to my home screen to use the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Did you do a full wipe? Ie everything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Yup. Did that before I flashed the ROM and radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
BTW, one reason I wanted to use a custom ROM (I had the stock EVO ROM since rooting my phone) was to help with my memory issues. I was down to about 42MB of internal space and couldn't figure out how to get any more. I tried everything, believe me.

Well, after installing this ROM, I'm somehow down to a mind-boggling 1MB of internal space! WTF?!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
ya just can't be happy having RLS 5 installed,

NOOOOO, you go and want to actually use it, eh !!!

do the full wipe, flash RLS 5, with clean install HTC Sense works.

then manually install a few apps, then nan backup.

install/restore a few more from market or TB, etc.

sounds like bulk TB restore issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
It seems to be working now, so that issue appears to be resolved (fingers crossed).

In addition to my memory issue being worse now, I have a question: how can I get back the EVO stock bottom menu? I don't like the little diamond in the circle/app/circle with dots current menu setting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
a clean install of RLS 5 leaves you with 342 MB of internal.

you need to use one of the apps 2 sd card routines.

your phone shouldn't even work with only 1 MB free !!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Hell, before I installed this ROM, I used the different a2sd apps, but it turned out that 46 apps were listed as "unable to move to SD card." For some reason when I tried to move these apps, the option "move to SD card" was grayed out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Believe me, this is not the fault of the Rom itself. According to your initial post, your troubles started after restoring your apps and data via TB. Did you restore apps + data or apps + system data? If it is the latter, therein lies the problem. I highly recommend that you rewipe and reflash and after booting into your home screens, go to the settings menu and update your profile. After that, reboot to make sure the install went well and doesn't have any bootloop issues. If/when that checks out, fire up TV and restore your apps + data.

UPDATE: Disregard. My reply was posted a tad bit late.....my fellow 'Canes fan beat me to it and offered excellent advice....lol

Unfortunately, the links on that thread are dead. Anyone know where I can find the EVO's stock menu bar?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Froyo's method of moving apps to the sd (apps2sd) can only work if the developer of that app allows it. Still only moving the ones that you can will help greatly.

For a better method to use with Sense roms, do some research here on a2sd, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715938

BTW, it is already included in the ROM, but you have to have a partition setup and use the commands to get it working :).

Do you have a bunch of apps that are installed in the phone ? Try moving them to the sd card. You batch move 'em to the sd using titanium, but some apps may not work from the sd though. But you will know when you go to use the app usually a pop up will let u know and it will give you the option to move it back from sd to phone. The bottom menu is called the "rosie", you can dl and flash in one of youre choice.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
I don't see the gov't allowing this to happen. if they did, the current at&t customers win because they get tmob's 4G networks, tmob's customers lose because of getting crappy att customer service and higher capped data plans...vs their lower priced capped family plans... tmob has been very android friendly...att hasn't been until now...

could see a mass exodus of tmob's customers coming to sprint.

but still its a big IF it happens...bet itgets tied up in gov't agencies and never happens...if it got approved, who says verizon would try to buy out sprint to compete with the GSM giant?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Because there still is ample competition, I expect this buyout to be approved. It might have a few conditions, but hey, if Comcast's purchase of NBC could get approved, AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile should easily get through.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
OK, thanks.

My brother, who has been an EVO customer for about a month after coming from BlackBerry for the last several years, asked me a direct question today, and one to which I didn't have an immediate or, in his mind, a satisfactory answer: "Why should I root my phone? And why would I want to even mess with a custom ROM as you call it? My phone works fine the way it is."

I can see his point if you think about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
The person who asks that question is not a Root-er.

It's the person who says "I know I can get more out of this amazing piece of technology, how do I do that?" that is.

Unless you let him play with yours, and he gets what it's all about, he'll probably be happy as a clam with his stock Evo. I have a few friends who still are...no matter how hard I try.

;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
To piggyback on what Neil said, rooting is a lot of fun for those who want to get the most out of their technology and learn a lot about how the operating system works. It's fun to mess with these things and open up the capabilities of the evo. Is it useful in any way? Sure. It can be. I tend to really just like hacking it and modifying what I can... but I know there are many out who utilize the phone for what it is and can be capable of. For example, the only market app I have right now is the xda premium app because I am constantly changing things up and testing things out. It's just fun. Until I finish work on my theme I don't think I will use more than 1 homescreen. But, with root, he can tether. He can remove things that aren't needed. You know, it's fun. If it's not for him, well, then it's not. No biggie. I know I was happy with my phone the first couple weeks I had it. To be honest I really only rooted to acquire wireless tethering...but since then I've had to use maybe three times. :-)

No, like the camera apk from a cm 7 rom. I thought it to be the honeycomb camera. I like how it has that slide switch to switch between camera and vidcam + the interface.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I'm on CM7 now, IMO, the sense camera is better, by just a bit. Plus the one on CM7 now is buggy with 720p recording and there is no tap to focus. The one great thing is the ability to map the volume buttons to take the picture :). I am pretty sure it is just the standard GB camera though, I don't think it has anything to do with Honeycomb. Could be wrong.

That is after all the hacking spirit, "what more can you do with this?" Just like pc modders, hot-rodders, street racers, x-games, etc, the fun is getting extraordinary things on ordinary things... I work in that yellow-tagged electronics store here in PR, I was the first to get a rooted android back then (my trusty hero!! miss ya buddy!!) and now out of 30-something coworkers that runs android, almost 30, including the GM and a Sprint rep(!) ARE rooted and running custom ROMs and the like, in fact, there are like 20 EVO's in the store and all of them were rooted by me, after I they saw what an EVO can do with a proper ROM like this, so as long as you have that desire to get something more than you thought was possible, let's keep at it guys!! You should see our "fights" on who got the faster phone and that cool blah-blah!!

I also find it funny when I encounter so many friends who have an Evo and have not rooted or refuse to root yet complain about how their phones performs/sucks e.g. battery life, lags, can't get this or that to work, etc. This is reminiscent of the PC introduction when I was one of the first of my acquaintances to go out and buy one. I started with the Commodore to a Packard Bell and then to a $3,300 IBM Aptiva with a first gen. Pentium 100 chip and a 500 mb HD (that I couldn't afford at the time but had to have). Then I became to go-to guy with all things Windows. I can't begin to tell you how many systems I set up or programs I installed etc. Then the day I got my first Android phone (the Evo) I became enthralled by it's capabilities. I wound up on forums like these to learn. I'm no developer but I wanted to learn how to make things work. As a result I've shown a choice few of my friends the virtues of rooting and optimizing their phone. That comes with mixed results as now I've gained a reputation for being THE guy to call when things go amuck. Now this is a hobby and I'm an "enthusiast" and if I learn one new trick a day I'm happy. If that is your base make up, that is what you are. If you are one who wants to open the box, use your equipment with no worries then that is what defines you. Nothing wrong with that I guess but that isn't me nor does it sound like most of you. I think the best analogy here is those who chose to open and install all those old AOL CDs for quick and easy internet connectivity vs. those who choose to learn Winsock trumpet and access the free and open internet. Just my thoughts :-). But I'd be willing to bet most of you who were around during those evolutionary times know exactly what I'm talking about.

same story. Went from bikes and skate boards, to computers, to cars and motor cycles.

Then I saw my first htc evo and said... "what's that"
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
What bothers me is that both AT&T and Verizon came from 'Baby Bells' from the Ma Bell divestiture, and now the exact same thing will have to happen again at some point. I don't see this being blocked as the Verizon-Alltel deal was allowed, and although a different industry, the Comcast buyout of NBC was approved. Not that I am all that familiar with Anti-Trust laws, but they aren't creating a monopoly...yet.

There is going to have to be intervention at some point or it will end up as Verizon and AT&T, what do you think happens to prices of plans at that point?

And what hurts more is the fact that we can look at Europe who have no contracts and pay a cheaper price overall for service...they are doing it the right way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I really can't believe this though. We're going to become as bad as Canada now in terms of wireless prices. I don't know how many of you have been up there but I go up there like every year. The 3 major carriers are Bell, Telus, and Rogers (Rogers is like Verizon, except that they're GSM and are tied to AT&T. They're red though). Bell and Telus I believe both do GSM and CDMA. The plans are expensive as HELL and their are data caps and restrictions on everything. I agree that we're being ripped off big time and something needs to be done.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I agree, but businesses don't always think logically. They think raising prices is the only way to make more money.

Let's say you have 1 million subscribers and every one of them pays $80. That's an 80 million dollar profit (aside from taxes and fees). If you were to charge, say, $50 instead of $80, you would reel in a lot more customers. Let's say you do that and your customer base increases from 1 million to 2 million. That's 100 million dollars in profit. Now obviously, I oversimplify, but the goal is to attract more customers, not raise prices and say it's for better service! A customer who keeps paying more will look for a cheaper alternative. And because a customer is worth a lot of money, you don't want to lose them. So yes, it is about pleasing the customers.
