It's not so "even" when you factor in when you forget to move the file before going into recovery. And it is not the clutter of the files in recovery, but the clutter I see when I open root explorer. Personally, I like keeping only folders/directories in the root of a drive. But for each their own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] njfoses:
I may be in the minority but if your going to restore system settings via my backup or advanced data restore via cwm why wipe at all? I use titanium to restore my downloaded apps but i always redo all my system settings and such after a major rom update as i dont want problems down the road.

Just finished reading the new AR thread, and it seems in 2.11 he's added in a "Search for Zip" feature.

Nice.:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] edboston:
By allowing the browsing to different locations, you have this ability. Personally, I have 3 folders name, "Zips - ROMS", "Zips - Kernels", and "Zips - Addons". Guess what goes in each folder? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Oh sure, agree. I've never said I thought Amon was easier or quicker, I think it's more a matter or what you get used to. I used ROM Mgr/CW for a few months. Took me a while to remember to move the zip files :)

I am surprised no one has developed an app that combines the best of both worlds. And it ticks me off Astro doesn't let me tell it where to put zip files by default then I wouldn't have to move them.

Noob question.....recovery confusion.....i have cwm 2.5.0.1.......in rom manager it tells me new cwm is available.....3.0.0.5......if I don't upgrade, all is well?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
You can flash the latest RA Recovery through ROM Manager now. If you're on RA Recovery already, you have to hit "Flash Clockwork Recovery", then go back down to "Flash Alternate Recovery". Now that it does File Browsing, there's really no reason to use Clockwork anymore.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I like to make sure I have backups of all those things. I haven't had to do many full wipes, but when I did It was nice and easy restoring that way. even easier now that I've learned I can flash the Titianium zip v. go to the Market. I always know that I could run into problems, at which point I'd wipe and redo like you said. And that is what I do when I do a fresh install of a rom like rls4 when we need to wipe data. For me it's about having various options and various types of backups so that I am better armed if and when I run into various problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I did a nandroid earlier today. I think I'm gonna wait to install any updates until after I hear from others if it's all working ok. If we flashaholics had waited even 1/2 a day, it would have spared a lot of people the problems that were run into when CW got updated.

I think I can, I think I can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
can you flash anything with it
[EVO 4G Android Development] DCLocal:
Amon Ra convert

+1 I was resistant to move from Clockwork because I was comfortable with it but after the 3.0.0.x CF and inability to flash the 12/31 nightly I tried Amon Ra. Much to my surprise I found it easier. I like the organization (all the wipes under the wipe folder) and the power button confirmation; it's much more convenient. Unless there is a compelling reason I'm not inclined to go back to CWM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Hmm. That happened to me once, but it was because my 3g dropped for a minute. I think it was downloading the file. I would make sure u have good service, reboot the phone, and try again. If thats a no go, you should load amon ra 1.8.0 (unmodified) to the root of your sd. Boot to the bootloader, and flash it there. I hope that works!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] edboston:
Just got the latest RA and testing it out now. He added the browse feature. So as long as the backup/restore/flashing works, I'm not going back to CW. No need to.

Yessir. Ur ok. As Mr. Murphy said: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." (Or with us flashoholics, at least try to resist...).

From my back-and-forth emails with Koush today, it seems like it'll all be on the Devs to upgrade from the Amend method to the Edify. Once they all do that, there'll be no more Recovery issues.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Or people can update to the newest AR. Supports file browsing, both 20k and 40k partitions, Amend and Edify method. Only thing it lacks over CWM is the advanced restore options. At least these are the features it touts I installed it did a backup, flashed a new rom, nandroided back to Myn's...All good so far..:D Figerscrossed

Hey myn, so much for the noonly :o) I don't get it y some of you who claim 2 love myn's roms so much would be advocating that he release version 5 already. 1 of you even suggested that it be released, and his gb theme menus be add-ons!?! REALLY? If not 4 him trying new features, then you might as well just keep rl4. I think that the whole reason 4 a new release is to add features, and push the envelope. I would hate to see any dev(not just myn) release a "new" version an all it is are bug fixes, and updated apps. IMO I hope myn takes an additional week if necessary in order to give us substance and not just fluff. BTW myn, lets get that afternoonly already! Peace.

Newly on the new rsl5 beta, everything updated according to Myn's directions, I wiped everything 3 times each, I know over kill, I flashed rom, then radios ect, then launcher pro, then hulu. All through Armon Ra.

Heres my dilemma....

Hulu and launcher pro did not work on reboot, no video with hulu and no theme on launcher pro.

Second....80% of my apps were still there, some not working until titanium restore, but still it was weird, I have never had left over apps before.

Everything is running smooth other then the stuff above, and Myn it looks great, even my colors seem more vibrant.

I dont use Rom manager. I use Amon_Ra because clockwork is known for not wiping correctly which may be part of your problem. So to answer your question... yes. Depending on what method youre using those options may be located somewhere other than where youre finding them, Shouldnt matter though. Wiping dalvik and cache is wiping dalvik and cache.....

+1 on that, both gallery and 3d gallery working like they should here. Try clearing data via settings/applications/manage apps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I could be mistaken, but maybe what is missing is that you need to boot to Recovery (part of Myn's RLS1 Boot Options).

Boot to Recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install form zip, reboot.

If you did this via Install Rom, then it will do a full data wipe. I use appbrain to keep my apps synced up, also Titanium.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Think youre right. Like I said I dont use rom manager, but he did say he clicked on install rom which would reflash his rom and put him back to square one....

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
The one thing that is really driving me crazy about RLS 2 is that ChompSMS is super slow, both when I launch it, and when I'm trying to use it. My screen will go unresponsive. This also happens sometimes when I pull down the notifications bar. Never happened on RLS 1. I all ready tried reinstalling the app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thermus:
That happened to me last night. I had to reset phone to get the clock "ghost" to go away. I also notice that this happened with and "app" shorcuts on my home screen???

[EVO 4G Android Development] Cubfan99:
Netarchy unplugged for 3 hours with moderate (not heavy use) and I'm down to 59%.

By moderate, that involves listening to maybe 30 minutes of a podcast via bluetooth, a few minutes of web browsing which included a 2 minute youtube video streamed via 3g, an audio podcast download, and the rest of the time asleep. Screen was on for maybe 30 minutes if that.

That's enough of a test for me to now go on to Kings 11 and see if it does any better. Netarchy didn't feel all that stellar to me, and not that much better than stock. Maybe my expectations were set too high by those who were amazed by the battery life combo with the beta rom?

From me, Mr. CWM Supporter...

Just let Rom Manager update my AR to 2.11. Went in, went to ZIPS directory, chose an older one (to make sure it was "Amend" coded and not "Edify"), and it flashed perfectly. BUT...

There's still no ability in AR to restore Data Only (which in CWM is under Advanced Restore). This is big.

Someone asked earlier why I'd even wipe if I was going to restore all the data anyway. The answer is it restores the Data from ONLY the programs that were operational at the time of backup. So uninstalled apps, programs, tweaks, etc are not restored during this process.

The benefit being since I know it's only my working apps, once I've done a virgin install of the new ROM, I should be able to restore my working data without issue. And it's always worked for me!!

And since I was the first one on here to SCREAM about the "Clockwork Orange" update, (and how it really seemed to be wiping Dalvik), please let me apologize to all of you who followed me down that particular rabbit hole...

Mea Culpa Maxima :o

No, B, the newest CWM still doesn't Flash zips properly, but Koush DID add 2501 back into ROM Manager. I think it's because (from my private back-and-forth emails with him today) he's trying to push Developers to get onboard with the newer method of compiling/coding Zips - Edify. The few I tried did not flash in CWM, (so they must have been compiled w/ Amend), however...

As you can see above, I did try AR 2.11. It does flash ANY zips, and now has the "search for zip" feature.

If it wasn't for the lack of Advanced Data Restore, I might be a convert....

Probably... someone pointed out earlier it's what you're used to, and I'm certainly used to CWM, but not opposed to making changes...(I might be an old dog, but I still got a few new tricks in me).

I really DO like the wipes in AR, and now that he's added the "search for zip" feature, I may either just get used to using Titanium Pro for the data restore, or (since Koush put 2501 back into ROM Manager) may use both for the different features.

I've got a big, fast SD card with lots of room...why the hell not.;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I know you directed this at Fred (he may want to weigh in as well still). I have been following Amon's thread today. From the changelog it appears the 20k and 40k do not matter. I can't test because mine is 20k, but I just full wiped/flashed a new ROM (wanted to test out Virus Desire Rom before I get settled on Myn's RLS5 in the coming days). It wiped just fine, flash from inside the zips folder went just fine. I am booted up and just recently added netarchys 4.3 kernel to it with no issues. Amon claims it now doesn't matter about partition size or Edify vs Amend update scripts and that appears to be the case.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PryorDaniel:
I found this. Looks like there's 3 different 4.2 v7's from him. I want to try the more aggressive version since in theory that would be the best for battery saving but since it should auto-adjust voltage to the cpu I'm wondering if it would cause any issues with the collin_ph tweak I did last night.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Edit for bad info
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
I believe the collin_ph tweak only works with nonhavs kernels. So, the more aggressive version isn't compatible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
I've been using the More Aggressive through 3 Nightlies now and it's working flawlessly. But, I use it naked, and from everything I've read Collin should be uninstalled first.

I tried different settings in both SetCPU and OS Monitor, but this kernel seems to run much better naked (with no tweaks at all). It improves with use, too.

Insane battery life!!!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] PryorDaniel:
That's exactly what I was thinking, wasn't positive though. Oh well, I'll test the nonhavs version with the collin_ph tweak for a few days, then get rid of the tweak and try the aggressive version to see which gives me the best result. Although I must say, after flashing this rom last night, collin_ph tweak, and juicedefender all combined have given me great results so far.

[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
I agree. I'm using the Seidio extended battery. This brings up a question for rls 0002 hardware folks. Has anyone on the latest rls 4.95 found a kernel as good as the #17 kernel? I'm not that impressed with the #15 kernel, as far as battery life is concerned. It seems to be just as fast as #17, but uses more battery, especially when off. I went from no tweaks on #17, to having to turn juice defender (today) for 15. However, I do not like what juice defender does to your phone when you first turn the screen back on (wait for services). I'm thinking of going back to #17, and was wondering if anyone with an ancient Evo has already done so, and if they are satisfied? Also, if there are any substitute kernels that ar being used, that don't suffer from under volting problems. I tried out the older (V5) SBC no havs when it came back, but ended up nandroiding back to #15. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I know how Myn is on keeping his update schedule, since it's usually on time or early. Seeing as he has been working on the menus for a couple of days, I'm betting there are a few walls with holes in them due to the unexpected complexity in updating the menus to the gingerbread theme.

Good luck Myn and we all appreciate your work especially when you run into these type of roadblocks and continue to push through.
