flash ziggy471.com beta - works great with RLS 4

i was using 12/05 before going with the RLS 5 BETA
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
take care bronx be safe !
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i always wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing anything,

except perhaps a font pack, but you can just flash a radio.

i would do them separately and reboot after each flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SgtSpike:
Is that the original version of AR that works with the erase size of 20000? Or the modifed version of AR (with the same version number) that works for the erase size of 40000? It matters.

It seems there is a different partition configuration in the newer phones to support a hardware change to the NAND chips. Here is the thread where they go in depth on how to determine your specific settings.

Okay, I've been busy the last few days and have only had time to skim over the forums (it REALLY moves fast). Can you give me a quick summary of the recovery issues? I am not having any issues flashing, but then again I am still on hboot 0.97 and the original Amon_RA 1.8 that I flashed when I first rooted. I flash manually and don't use rom manager.

these were to revert back to original.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
As long as you're not on an hboot 2.02 or 2.10 Evo, you can use the "normal" AR Recovery. Just go into ROM Manager, all the way to the bottom, and hit "Flash Alternate Recovery".

[EVO 4G Android Development] SgtSpike:
New EVO with HBoot 2.x, you probably have erase size of 40000

Use the modified AR 1.8.0 or CW 3.0.0.2

Old EVO with HBoot 0.97 or lower, you probably have erase size of 20000

Use the unmodified AR 1.8.0 or CW 2.5.01

HBoot is not the determining factor, but is a good indicator of your erase size. From what I understand you can have a 2.x HBoot and still have the old erase size of 20000 because HBoot is backwards compatible. (anybody with more knowledge please chime in)

You first have to check your erase size, follow instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894331

i have no recovery now since i wiped cache and installed the latest nightly, but to flash it i went to a back up i had from mid November with cwm 2.5.0.1.

dont have a clue what hboot is

i would like to be able to flash the launcher pro and hulu.

P.S. dont laugh at me cause im messing with my phone and dont understand most of this stuff, im trying to learn
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
go ahead and wipe both and when you flash the combo,

i seem to recall it reboots twice on it's on

so don't freak out

i know it did when i flashed it along with RLS 5 BETA

well, i'm stuck at home (my awesome german shepherd is sick as a 'human' and i didn't want to come home to any surprises so plans cancelled) have some brewskys watching fsu-usc game, so i can lend a hand

[EVO 4G Android Development] SgtSpike:
Yes, just like the rest :D

I blasted CW v3.0.0.0 onto my phone even with all those zeros in the rev

ran a nandroid right off the bat like you should and then watched the panic start and THEN I did some research.

What's weird is that I could never get AmonRa v1.8.0 into my phone. I originally ran Unrevoked in November but AR wouldn't flash so I stuck with CW 2.5.0.1 and installed RLS4 and haven't messed with recovery since. But now that I'm getting ready for RLS5 I've been digging back into it. I never felt good about the fact that AR v1.8.0 wouldn't install but it wasn't broke so...

I have never restored a nandroid on this phone so I don't really know what will happen. but I do know that my old phone, the one with the missing RSA keys, had to go back to Sprint so I avoid unnecessary restores like the plague.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamarcusoliver:
in clockwork they give you an option to flash a rom from sd card within the app itself
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
Actually, the last known working Clockwork for EVOs, 2.5.0.1, is no longer available through ROM Manager. Here's the zip of it.

Download to the ROOT of your sdcard, go into Hboot, choose fastboot, and when it asks you if you want to install PC36IMG, hit the UP volume key. When you reboot you'll have CWM 2.5.0.1 as your recovery even though ROM Manager will still say 3.0.0.?.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1gr8ftoy:
I think you mean from in ROM Manager app they give you the flash zip option.

Here is what you need to do:

Boot into HBoot (Power off the phone, hold volume-down+power button when turning it back on)

The first thing it will do is ask if you want to flash the PC36IMG.ZIP that was found on the root of your sd card (put it on your sd card first)

Press volume up button to say yes then reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamarcusoliver:
when you say add it to the root do you mean dont put it in a folder?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1gr8ftoy:
I am thinking he only knows how to use ROM Manager, not recovery directly so I gave him instructions to get to HBoot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1gr8ftoy:
Yes, download it to the root of the sdcard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
when you say clockwork (app)

you mean you're at a screen like this ?

Hey guys, kinda unrelated but I'm using the SBC netarchy kernel (build 131) with myns warm 2.2 and I'm not getting the battery life I want.

I realized that I have to let it charge overnight but when I charge it during the day, how long do I let it charge for? It's cuz I have to charge my phone during the day cuz that's when I usually get low on battery. Thank :) and sorry for the irrelevance and lengthy post :p

[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
the key to ms's SBC is charging for 30 - 60 minutes past green (100%)

when the phone is IDLE

131 is a good kernel

install battery monitor widget and watch the mA

the goal is to keep it at 0 mA for a longer period of time

while the mV gets to or remains at 4200 mV

something to that effect ! :)

Just make sure you put the PC36IMG.ZIP in the root of your sdcard FIRST.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Okay, I did some quick googling along with what I remember from my EE studies (graduated college back in 1984 so I don't recall a lot lol), and I have a basic understanding of what seems to be going on with the recovery issues. NAND (Not AND gate) is the type of physical flash memory these devices use. Linux's system for accessing NAND is called Memory Technology Device (MTD). It seems that early versions of hboot set up a MTD black size of 20000, while later hboot versions set up a MTD black size of 40000. There are versions of both Amon_RA and CWM that work with the older MTD block size, and versions that work with the newer MTD block sizes. The problem seems to be that this isn't clearly defined/stated, and the recovery developers haven't done a good job of differentiating which versions are for the different block sizes. However, once you determine your block size (the instructions for doing that are mentioned in this thread), you should be able to find the right version of your preferred recovery tool.

Does this sound about right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1gr8ftoy:
That is what I have been able to get out of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Right, do not put it in a folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1wingangel:
So I'm not trying be annoying, I just have little more input. Maybe go with a little higher than 50% on the statusbar and make closer to the app bg, orIf youre going with 50% on the statusbar, maybe make the Sprint and notification banners a little less as well, that would look a little smoother. And change the actual notifications bg from grey to black and use a white font maybe.

It still looks great either way, but that's my take on it.

Thanks man.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rawdikrik:
I always manually update my buildprop and change the"res" to 220, which seems to me like a nice trade off between tiny letters and decent space.

It makes the font EVEN HARDER to see sometimes, but it doesnt really bother me. Stock font isnt really what Im looking for here, so Ill stick with this one til I notice something better (maybe same font but slightly bolder?).
[EVO 4G Android Development] rawdikrik:
So far so good... But I did notice something that I used Daily on BakedSnack:

Wired Tether doesnt work. Wireless tether works perfectly so its not a deal breaker, but wired tether is my preference, and should be an option.

Another thing I dont like... is that now I need to figure out how to make all my widgets that nice translucent! ;) Why cant all apps be as nice as this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Kings #9 BFS has yielded the best results for me both in performance and battery life.

To give you perspective. I leave work with my phone at 7:45am, Use my phone moderately throughout the day and when I arrive home at 5:00 I still have 72% battery left with Kings #9 BFS.

With the stock HTC kernel #11 that came with the recent OTA 3.29 (which is used in this rom), I have 44% using it the same way.

I have added additional battery saving tweaks that will help with any kernel, regardless of which you use though.

YMMV obviously but that's what I have observed while doing daily testing.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Flashed this on a friends Evo yesterday and it is amazing. Absolutely beautiful and rock solid. Im not a sense guy but if sense had looked and felt like this in the first place I may not have started hating it so much in the first place.

I had this problem too. After you try to boot and get stuck on the white screen, pull the battery and power the phone on again. Should get you through. Worked for me.

When i use launcher pro, the home screen keeps your fantastic theme, but the app menu screen returns to the black default.

My new favorite Rom. Love it. The only thing I want is a Droid x keyboard to match the overall look of this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
more observations

First off, hats off to Myn on this ROM. As soon as i have some extra dough, i'm throwing some your way. This is very sleek. This is what HTC should have made in the first place. I paid for launcherpro plus, but i'm not even using it because of the look that Myn gave sense. Only two changes that would be nice. I transparent/translucent lockscreen bar, maybe even a straight bar instead of the curved one, but definately translucent. And although i like the keyboard, it's kinda weird to type on without any separation of keys. I'm not sure what could be done, maybe raised keys a bit or a translucent keyboard.

Battery life has been great, I'm using Kings BFS #9. Tried netarchy havs also, but Kings seemed a bit better.

Anyway, I love this ROM and it's staying on my phone. You just set a new standard.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
I appreciate your kindness.

I like the idea of having a semi-transparent lockscreen bar. Thanks for the suggestion. I've added it to my todo list for future iterations :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShadowDrake:
Not bad! I like this quite a bit but the keyboard app sucks. Skinned black is fine but how do I disable the automatic space after punctuation and get the hide keyboard button... and maybe reduce the vibration duration as well. It's too long and noisy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Excellent job Myn. Just a quick question though, would you consider separating the theme from the ROM? So, that way users (like myself) could flash the theme instead of the entire ROM? I love the colors and everything, looks exceptional, but I'm a rather loyal Baked Snack user.

If you don't plan on separating the theme from the ROM, do you mind If I take an attempt at doing that myself? Basically... do I have your permission to do this?

Have you considered checking the Keyboard settings possibly? You know, the one in Menu - Settings - Language & Keyboard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] atoy74:
Seems like I'm having severe battery drain issues. I installed the ROM after a wipe. I use bluetooth heavily so it's always on. Just checked Spare Parts and it says Bluetooth on 100%. Same issue I used to have with Cyanogenmod ROMs but not Sense ROMs.

Anyone else experiencing this? My phone went from 100% to 72% in 1hr 10mins of non-use.
