Thanks for the clear taskbar zip! I always prefer it clear. I noticed when I flashed it, the battery icon in this zip is different than the one WARM Z uses. Can you make the clear taskbar with the WARM Z battery icon?

Warm Z have 4g? If it does I'm jumping ship now!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewmccraw:
Warm Z

Okay, I'm gonna take the dive and give Warm Z a go.

No when I do this I wipe cache, Dalvik and do a user data/factory reset.

Correct? (of course after a nandroid)

then install the ROM, reboot, then restore my nandroid?

(oh yeah, I tried this using Clockwork recovery and it failed. I kept getting a error message about "Amend Scripting" being disabled by Google Android 1.5)

I though I'd seen something about this in the thread, but have been unable to locate it again.

Anyone else have this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tgearman:
I used Amon recovery, full wipe and Caulk's zip wipe. Loaded Warm Z and everything is running smooth and fast!

Anything after 020811 that I flash (09 10 or 11), I just get stuck in a bootloop of the Warm 2p2 Z logo animation repeating over and over.... Flashed cache/dalvik etc etc.... Hmm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] davenukem:
Thank you for the reply sir.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Being that you are changing roms, it is recommended that you do a clean install of Warm Z. Wipe data/factory reset, data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats, at least twice each. I'm assuming your radios were updated when you flashed RLS5. Of course, make a nandroid backup BEFORE wiping in preparation of flashing Warm Z. As for using CWM, I suggest using amon RA v2.3 as your recovery. You can download the PC36IMG.zip from here: http://goo.gl/lmycL

Simply put it on the root of your SD card and power down your EVO. Hold the volume down button while pressing the Power button. When you enter the HBoot screen, it should automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and ask if you want to install. Follow the prompts for yes. It only takes a few seconds to complete the install. afterwards, reboot into recovery, make a nandroid backup and then wipe and flash Warm Z.

While trying to flash additional features and tweaks on myn's RLS5 I ran across the same error on ROM manager about the script error. I applied an older release and no problems at all.

Im also trying to add some additional flip clocks, it seems whenever I try to flash these is when my phone gets stuck in a boot cycle. I then have to restore, if I already have a flashed clock do I need to erase this prior to adding another? Or can I just flash as many flip clocks and choose widget.

Ive tried 3 or 4 times and had to restore each time, any suggestions?

BTW ive had no problem flashing anything else ie boot animations, transparent bar, hulu etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
So, I've never used a2sd. I have, however, used the app from the Market, APPS 2 SD.

I've noticed for a while that when I open Titanium Pro there's a 3rd bar at the bottom for a2sd that says

"SD Card (a2sd): 367 MB (105 MB free)".

I figured at some point I made a mistake and set up an SD partition without realising it, so yesterday after backing it up to my lappie, I formatted my SD card both from the phone (which, btw, does a Quick Format, which is not really a format at all, it just blanks the first block of data fooling the system into reading the entire card as blank) and then a full format from my pc (which scrubs the card clean and re-preps it).

I then moved everything back to the card, rebooted and I still have the same thing in Titanium Pro!!!

WTF? Anyone know the what and why of this?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I don't use ROM Manager for anything except to maybe flash back & forth between Clockworkmod & amon RA and that is rare these days. It is far too easy to reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache and then flash the mod you want to flash. Doing so saves a great deal of unnecessary troubleshooting, in my experience. In regard to flip clocks, many are .apk files and shouldn't need flashing. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything, but being that I don't know you, I'm just covering all bases...;)...Anyway, if you have the time, simply start from scratch and do not use ROM Manager, in my opinion. Take care and update when you can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
Formatting the SD card while your EVO is connected to the PC only clears the that one FAT32 partition. There are multiple partitions on the disk. You need to use another method to remove that partition.

The easiest way is to put the card into a SD card reader (directly into the computer instead of connecting the phone via USB) and then going to Disk Management (Start->Run->diskmgmt.msc or right-click on "My Computer" or "Computer"->Manage->Disk Management. I believe you can also use Amon Ra recovery under "Partition sdcard" to repartition to have only one partition, but I haven't confirmed this.

In there, you will see the SD card and all of its partitions. You can delete all of the partitions and then create one large FAT32 partition to reclaim all of the space.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
I think you might have to manually delete partitions on the SD card. Try This

I think but I am not sure that myns rom automatically creates the ext3 partition on the SD card. Again I am not sure. It has something to do with the a2sd script business. I've nevered use it either. Good luck.

I have read 570some pages out of almost 700, and searched so if this issue has been discussed I apologize, but I was unable to find it mentioned.

Shortly after installed RLS5, I installed Slacker. I noticed that if I had Slacker paused, and I got a notification (which would normally pause Slacker to play the notication sound), Slacker would un-pause and resume playing. This would make sense if Slacker was playing prior to the notification, but otherwise I would want it to stay paused.

There were some other glitches with Slacker, so I switched to Pandora and forgot about it. Until today when I was listening to something on a website via Flash, paused it to go to a meeting, and had it resume playing after I got a text.

This leads me to wonder if this the "un-pause after notification sound" is perhaps a function of the ROM and not individual apps? And I get why it does it, 9 times out of 10 I want the music to resume playing, just not if I had it paused prior to the notification.

Anyone have any thoughts/experience on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I believe that yesterday Cirehawk24 mentioned that the feb 8, 9, and 10 nightlys require a full wipe before flashing. Something significant mustve changed from the feb 7 nightly, but he was in same boat as you, nothing but bootloops. He later stated that doing a full wipe and flashing calkulin's format all zip before flashing the nightly resolved his issue. GIve that a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Nivron is correct Neil. The partition for a2sd is ext3 most likely, it cannot be seen by Windows, it will just format the fat32 part. Not to mention formatting any kind of drive doesn't erase any partition, you have to delete partition and merge the unallocated space with the existing one. Not sure if the built in Win7 partitioner can handle ext3? The easiest way to remove it is through recovery, but a partition manager on the pc would work as well, there are a number of free ones. Easeus is pretty good, certainly more than you need though.

And how do you go about making a partition you don't know about? Silly silly, haha, jk...:D

Thank you so much! I was going through the posts and apparently wasn't paying attention to see that... I'll give it a shot now...
[EVO 4G Android Development] donnyespo:
Thanks for your assistance. You are correct have rooted and flashed for the first time about a month ago so fairly new to everything. So with the .apk files once I USB transfer over to my phone they should be there? If it is a zip file then they need to be flashed? Im sorry if dumb questions like I said only about 30days experience.

So I feel like a total noob, :eek:, but in Amon Ra when I go to Partition sdcard, all I see is

- Return

- Partition SD

- Repair SD:ext

- SD:ext2 to ext3

- SD:ext3 to ext4

Which do I use to make the card just one large partition, and how??? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
I haven't tried it -- but you would go to Partition SD and if it asks you for sizes for the ext/swap partitions, set them to 0.

I have tried all your steps in trying to fix my browser slowness but doesnt seem to work. I have wiped re-flashed ROM & Kernal plus RLS4 HOST zip. EVEN flashed back to stock then back to Warm 2.2 repeating steps to fix browser slowness.

[EDIT] Okay, cool. I just went into AR's Partition SD and the first step is "SWAP-size=32" with the ability to change to 0, and the second step is setting the Ext2-size, which if I change to 0 lets the entire rest of the card become FAT32..

Should I leave swap set to 32?

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

I clicked on Partition the SD card and (at least in the first step) it doesn't ask for sizes, just "hit the up volume to begin". I chickened out and hit down and backed out. :rolleyes:

I'll prolly just go buy an adapter today and do it on the puter over the weekend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
I use a2sd and can tell u amon_ra does not have remove partition, that would be clockwork recovery. But, u can use a partition third party program to delete both partitions (the main fat32 and ext 3) and merge both unallocated partition then format, just like the other gentleman said. I tried using windows disk management but it won't recognize sd partitions so u definitely have to use a third party partition and then be ok. Pm me if u got any other quotations or need help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I haven't done it, but I am fairly positive if you continue in AR and set each a2sd option to 0 you will be left with just 1 partition the size of the entire card...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
A2SD is what normally turns swap on. Some people have written scripts to do so, but you will be fine without the swap partition. Set them both to zero FTW!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
You are correct, sir, and have been thanked. BUT, the first choice is

Swap-size=32

Should I leave that one at 32?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Happened to me too. I basically had to wipe everything, including the data itself, and start clean.

Edit: I see someone already responded to you. Hope you're up and running.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
You're quite welcome, my friend. As for your questions, with .apk files, all you need to do is click on them to install. On occasion, you may need to set permissions and "normally", .zip files need to be flashed. It is always a good idea to double check with the person who's providing the .zip. Anyway, now that you've set your EVO free, enjoy the benefits of having a rooted phone, my friend. Take care. :D

You've been THANKS'd, process done, and restoring stuff to my SD card as I type.

Thanks, Nivron! Contribute more, you're good!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
What rom and kernel are you using and what scores are you trying to attain? How many apps do you have running while testing? Also, does your EVO appear sluggish to the naked eye? If it is, try closing some apps, check for wakelocks or flash a different kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
What Nivron said, set it 0. I don't think it makes a difference one way or the other it is only essential if you are using a2sd.

EDIT: See you got it corrected, excellent...:)

I would ignore them as long as the phone doesn't feel sluggish. They don't really mean much and aren't very indicative of actual performance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
I've always felt that Quadrant is a test program designed by someone who also sells other programs to speed up your card! It's a sham.

My phone runs snappy as hell, my biz partner's Epic 4G takes up to twice as long to perform certain functions, yet his outscores me on Quadrant by as much as 150%...go figure...

[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
I appreciate the nice comment! I've lurked here since much earlier than my join date. I'm pretty introverted and it's hard for me to talk sometimes, especially when I don't know people personally. I figured that I've gotten enough help here just by hearing others' questions (much of it before the Thanks system), that the least I could do is report back with my experiences when I can.

Started on Myn's in Oct when I first got my EVO. It's my first Android phone since I've been a BlackBerry user since their original B&W pager units. The one thing they've still got going for them is the physical keyboards. LOVE THE BLACKBERRY KEYBOARD. If my EVO had that keyboard, it would be the perfect device. I really suck at typing on touchscreens and hate smudges, so I'm conflicted. :rolleyes: Not to be taken as a slam to either the EVO or BlackBerry. They're both awesome phones.

...And no matter what ROM I'm on, I'm still a Mynion. ;) Enjoying some Warm Z too... Along with some CM and some EViO and some Azrael and some of this and some of that... All of these developers and knowledgeable/helpful people in the forums (especially in this thread) really make it feel very friendly. Just glad to be here, I guess. :)

So, err, let me apologize for turning that into an introduction message. You guys really deserve the kudos here anyways. I've seen all of you regulars here for a while, always willing to help.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
I completely agree with you on that. When I first got my phone, I downloaded Quadrant and Linpack and actually kept spreadsheets comparing ROMs and Kernels to see which one had the best score... I eventually gave that up when I realized it's not how high the score is, but how fast you think it is. I'd be fine with a score of 0 if I knew the phone was living up to my expectations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Outstanding response! :D Your comment says it all, my friend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
You're right. Quadrant isn't an accurate depiction of your phone's raw processing power. I will say though that if you (in general) wanted a primarily-gaming phone, you should have gone with the Epic. The Evo is more well rounded and good for light 3D games (ie Tank Hero or Raging Thunder 2).
[EVO 4G Android Development] natefuhr:
Call me confused but....

I see all of this work going into porting the Desire Z Rom over to the Evo and have to ask.... why?

If its just about landscape Sense, wouldn't it make more sense to port over the Evo Shift that already supports 4G and CDMA?

What are the other benefits of the Z Rom that I am missing?

Just a thought.... and now back to lurking in the shadows...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Yeah, he loves games on his Epic, and honestly, the damn thing runs them beautifully...but it's huge, and heavy, and generally really cumbersome. I can't imagine carrying it around in my pocket.

I, on the other hand, play almost zero games (admittedly, Angry Birds occupies a little too much of my time...and the 2 recent updates are awesome) but run the **** out of email, messaging, and opening/altering Word and PDF files. The EVO does that stuff waaaaay better, so much so that I find I take my laptop out only about half as much.

Oh, and I also even occasionally use it as a phone!!

;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Basically, if you use your phone like a man, the Evo is for you. And I thought I'd like the Epic's 5-row keyboard, but honestly I got used to the Shift's/Intercept's 4-row. I don't like how the Epic's rows aren't indented. I end up hitting the "Home" button on the keyboard instead of the backspace button a lot when I'm using my friend's.

[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
I see a number of you have questions concerning a second partition that is created when one runs the program called APPS2SD. This also creates an ext3 partition, as this is the type of format your phone expects to see programs on. Normally, data can be on your fat32 partition, but programs that fool your phone into thinking they are part of the internal memory, need to be formatted in ext2, or 3 or 4 format Your rom determines whether you can use an ext4 partition or not. Unless you know for sure your phone can read an ext4 partition, do not use this as you will mess your phone up big time.

There really is no reason to delete the ext3 partition, unless you need more space, and are going to run all of your programs on internal memory.

Both APPS2SD and a2sd require a partitioned sd card. With a2sd, you must create this partition yourself. You can perform this best with Amon Ra. CWM sometimes has problems creating sizes greater than 512K, so be careful with this recovery program.

Here is a link that describes how to partition your sd card.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10866567&postcount=31490

To remove your partition set the size to 0:0, or you can use a format program on your PC that can recognize partitions, and then zero out your linux partition. Most run of the mill format programs cannot format an ext partition, as they do not see it. You must zero it out, then you can format your entire card.

The next question most people ask, is if I cannot see this partition, how can I back it up. The most complete method is to image your sd card. The program I use is called Acronis image. I assume you could also use norton ghost or there are several free programs out there to create an image of your sd card. If you have a 30gb sd card, you will need a little more than 30gb of hard drive space available to create your image file. There is alot more info about a2sd and other issues concerning running programs on your sd card that I have commented about. Do a search for my name to read them. My 02.

Not that I completely understand everything Frank says in this post, but after going through all the brain damage of repartitioning my SD card, and putting everything back on it, I'm still getting EXACTLY the same numbers as I was earlier in Titanium Pro. Fuuuuuuuck....

So, it must be the app, APPS2SD, causing this. As Frank says, it must create an ext3 partition...and that's what I'm seeing in TP.

DOH.
