ADB for Dummies - no offense ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010

the first post, that used to be the steps, is now a link to a website. You need to register, but it appears it's free. If the info is still the same, it's worthwhile.

ADB is a valuable tool, and anyone really flash-happy should at laest know the basics.

It's super easy...and kinda fun.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Your device shouldn't be rebooting from within the adfree app without your interaction. Anyway, as for removing the host file, you do not need adb to do that. You *should* be able to maneuver to the /system/etc/ folder with the Astro File Manager and simply delete the host file. If not with Astro, then you can with ES Explorer and Root Explorer. Afterwards, reboot.

In astro when I try to delete I get: error deleting file, when trying to rename I get: insufficient permissions. In ES file manager when I try to delete I get: host cannot be deleted, when I try to rename I get: sorry, opperation failed. It seems my Evo doesn't want me to get my perfect RLS5 setup : (

I guess I could wipe my sd card and try comepletly fresh but im not 100% sure this would fix my issue, and I also have some music on my phone I would like to keep because my brother broke the family laptop but I guess I could maybe back up my music to our Mac desktop. Anyways what's the deal with adb? Is it useful? Is adb for dummies a guide I should google or something?

Astro cannot alter system files. That requires root access. Use root explorer. Its a paid app but recommended

try

• wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot

if you still have the issue

• backup your data

• wipe cache and dalvik cache

• make a nan backup

then you can flash RLS 5 over your data

or ...

• flash Calk's Format All

• wipe data, cache, dalvik cache

• flash RLS 5

• restore data
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShadowDrake:
Well you can apply a little basic computer knowledge. It says access denied, and there's a button that's Mount Read/Write instead of Mount Read Only. Hmm?

But, there's a lot of information around so it's usually tough to catch up. Root explorer is a good one for things like that and worth keeping around.

Here is my battery info right before I plugged my phone in. RLS 2 with Kings CFS #11. Texting throughout the day, listening to music for about 2 hours, had 4g on for an hour, streaming video, browsing the internet, etc.

I do use SetCPU and set the min/max cpu to 245 conservative when the screen is off and set the cpu min/max to 998 with it set to performance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _jws:
been using this for 2 days now. pretty solid w/ king #11. batterylife for me is about the same as cm6 stock though.

haven't used sense in a while, but for the main 3 button UI, is the right button always dedicated to add stuff onto the homescreen? seems like a waste once u've got the homescreens set up.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Tell me this isn't WEIRD!

This morning, the orange LED was flashing on my EVO. This usually indicates that I am out of juice, although I found that surprising considering I had 80% charge when I put the screen to sleep last night.

Anyway, I recharged the phone. After about 30 minutes, I heard the Myn "boot" sound file fire off, but the screen was still blank - no animation - weird.

Anyway, I pulled the battery and rebooted.

Now here's the REALLY WEIRD part. I normally run LauncherPro on my EVO and had it set up to do that. However, when I rebooted, LauncherPro was gone. As a matter of fact, ALL MY APPS WERE GONE! For some reason, my EVO reverted (on it's own) back to just basic Myn. Deleted every single one of my apps :(

WEIRD.

Fortunately I have TitaniumPro so this is only a small hassle, but still, phone has NEVER done anything like this before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Wow, just tried to run Titanium Restore and got this message:

"Sorry, system requirements were not met. Please check error messages at startup."

Um, ok. No error messages at startup so that's weird.

Also noticed on my Notifications Bar it said, "SD Card is Safe For Removal." Um, as far as I know, it has NEVER said that before. I don't run any of my apps from SD so that can't be the problem.

Who knows. For some reason, on it's own, my phone fully fracked itself overnight. Looks like full wipe and restore.

WEIRD.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Did my SD Card just up and die?

When I tried doing a Factory Wipe, I get an error saying it "can't mount SDCard". So did my SDCard just randomly up and die on me?

Anyone know a fix for this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Did you try pulling your card and reinserting it? I've had similar issues with data being wiped, alarm clock settings and SMS settings. ... things like that. Nothing as drastic as what you're seeing. I reported it here but never really got a definite answer so.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] HeckNoTechnO:
If you have te terminal program on your phone run it and type "su" to allow for superuser. Next type "cd /system/bin" then type "a2sd reinstall" the phone may reboot I don't remember, but if it does follow the above steps again except this time type "a2sd reswap" it may reboot follow steps to get back then type "a2sd cachesd" and that should do it.

By the way you will have to flash ap2sd zip file before any of the above commands will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, after much testing, it appears that my SD Card is completely and forever fracked. I tried formatting it using my computer and it only recognized 30.6 mb. So I CAN see the SD Card when I USB Mount in Recovery, it's just "broken" apparently. Odd because it wasn't overly full and I use virus protection. Ah well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pwnst*r:
Not really that weird at all, IF it was a cheap brand.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Thanks,

I do think the card is toast though. I slipped an old 4 gb sd card into my EVO and it recognized it immediately.
[EVO 4G Android Development] uofirob:
Did you try attaching the card to your computer and try running checkdisk? I had to do that earlier when my card got messed up when I didn't unmount it correctly.

[EVO 4G Android Development] welshwarriorsf:
I should have seen that! Did what you said and it did delete the file but my browser was still slow so I rebooted and the file came back! I deleted it again and try to install adfree and dl new host files but again it rebooted by itself and didn't improve my situation. Now im getting a couple random reboots so I think I will definitely try Calk's format all and start tonight/tomorrow completely fresh. Thanks again for everybodys help.

Sent from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Starting from scratch is a great idea. As I aforementioned, you should not be having random reboot issues simply by updating or removing your host file or even from using adfree. Something else is going on with your device. RLS5 is a very solid rom. When you go into recovery, make sure you wipe data/factory reset, system, data, boot, battery stats, android secure and sdext at least twice each. Flash Calkulin's format-all zip for good measure and then reflash RLS5. After you're all set up, apply one of the mentioned methods for either updating or removing the host file and you should be good-to-go afterwards.

True and I am aware that Astro cannot alter root level files. My intended focus was to show that he didn't have to use the adb approach. I am surprised in regard to ES File Manager. I thought it was basically a free root level file manager or at least, used to be. Of course, I'm very familiar with Root Explorer. I use it daily. Anyway, thanks for clarifying for the OP, Tommy.

Neil, I've finished my little experiment, quicker than I intended, and have concluded that YOU ARE RIGHT! RLS5 *is* the best of the WarmTwoPointTwo roms. RLS 4 does give better battery life, but not much better. RLS 4 is noticeably faster than RLS 3, but is NOT faster than RLS 5 overall, at least not with my specific device. Having said that, I am proud to say that I've since nandroided back to RLS 5...at least until i get the urge to flash a different rom for curiosity's sake....lol....I love this stuff and I love the many choices that are available to us as rooted EVO owners.

I don't know what they were thinking putting a 1400mah battery in that phone. Even the shift has 1500mah. Stupid mistake on htc's part or verizon just being cheap. There has to be more causing the drain though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Man, battery technology needs to improve on a massive level. That must be some difficult stuff to improve upon, because the technology of the batteries doesn't change anywhere near as frequently as the devices themselves. We need batteries that are equipped for the power of the hardware of smartphone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
It is similar in the EVO as well, when using 4G is is a battery drainer, now looks to be the same with the Thunderbolt using LTE. The phone has to shift to it's second radio.

Personally I don't think 4G will really be worth it, until it is the main radio in the phone, and 3G is gone. But that looks to be a couple years away still.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
DJ, I just finished the same experiment!! Since I have over 13 gig of Nans on my lappy, going back to R3, here's what I did, and my impressions:

Wednesday I kept track of my R5 usage, including battery. I know I'm one of the lucky ones who has a flawless 0003 EVO. No screen bleeds, no button issues, every kernel seems to work, as does all the hardware including my camera, 4G is good in most of L.A. (so I use it a lot), etc. This was my measuring stick.

Thursday I ran R3 all day. I started keeping Nandroids with R3 and now I know why. This was the ROM that convinced me no one else could do it like Myn and I'd never run anything but his stuff. For the time it came out, it was awesome. I had zero issues all day Thursday, and the battery was superb.

Friday (yesterday) I ran R4. Sublime, for me, but I clearly remember the insane rush of posts with various problems (mostly user induced) after it came out. I never had even one, and really loved it. With almost identical usage as R5 on Wednesday, I had about 10-15% more battery left at day's end. But, since it was over 50%, and R5 was over 40%, that's no biggie for me, especially because I do carry a spare.

My general impressions were that R3 was still a bit choppy in places, and with R4, Myn added butter to the mix and it smoothed every feature right out. The transitions (which I normally keep off) were stunning beginning with 4, just so smooth (I remember) at first they made me giggle a bit!

But R5, in spite of the 10% lesser battery life, is my ROM. I've gotten maybe 5 FCs since day one, and 4 were likely my fault. The mods are perfect, the devs seemed to have more fun making them, and running R5, my EVO's the beast I wanted it to be the day I bought it...

Unfortunately, I forgot to make note of which kernel I used with each one I ran, but as I said, I've never had a problem with any kernel so that didn't seem too important.

The 2 plusses to this little experiment? I just soldified my commitment (love?) of R5, and now I can recover 7.5 gig on my lappy by deleting all the R3 and R4 backups!!

It's all good.

I've been playing with this rom for afew days and loved it.. then I used titanium backup move apps to SD batch job and now its pretty much horked.. its slow.. nothing is loading.. I've let my phone sit for hours and it won't load all the apps up. Right now, I'm back to stock rooted. Is there a way to clear the a2sd partitition/file that warm uses? or is there a specific location where TB put the apps it moved to the SD?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
TB puts programs in .android.secure folder of the SD. By deleting that folder, you would of cleared the apps2sd location. You could retry TB afterwards to see if its fixed.

Did you apply the SD read ahead fix? Stock warm still has this value at 4, should be at least 128. This would help read speed to your SD.

There is no "screen flicker" associated with any of Myn's roms. Your wife's phone is an EVO 4G, right? Now to be sure I follow correctly,define what YOU consider "screen flicker". The reason I ask is the fact that there is a brightness setting and if it is set to automatic, the screen brightness will increase or dim depending on the surrounding lighting conditions.

Happily back to RLS 5. Warm-Z was fun but not double for my everyday phone. I like the stability and great battery life with RLS 5.

I would rather wait for HTC and Sprint to release the official 2.3 GB update with Sense 2.0 made specifically for our EVO, and have a Warm RLS based off that, instead of using Warm-Z, but that's just my opinion. for now RLS 5 is perfect.

curious will there be a RLS 6 ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
Welcome back :)

Myn has not said anything about a RLS 6, however I would venture to say not. If I had to guess, Warm Z will be his big focus, and if not that making an Evo specific GB ROM :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
Thanks, then I will just stick with RLS 5 and my custom kernel and PRI, works great, the best I have ever had for the EVO.

Hey Lowe

How is your battery life with the set up you have there?

I switched my kernel from stock #15 to #17, but it didnt seem to really help... I was looking at your PRI and what not - and maybe just go back to all original radio and all that...

I did what Myn said about updating all radio/wimax/PRI&NV... but I noticed you didnt do that - Is there any reason why we are supposed to update all that stuff? I mean from your set up - it looks like I could have just kept my old set up - which is exactly what you have there, save for the HBoot...

I dunno - I may just revert my radio, PRI & NV back and keep the wimax the same - but I was just looking for some direction on what you thought. I might try another kernel - but I like the HTC kernels, so I dunno... Let me know what you think, thanks

My set up is in my sig :)
