[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Since removing the 4G widget from my home screen and my drop-down, I do not have the 4G reboot issue.

If you use the Root Explorer method of SD card tweaking, yes, you have to re-do it after every boot. If you use one of the (my) flash versions, it's permanent until flashing a new ROM, or another SD tweak.

I downloaded and installed this ROM onto my Evo a few weeks ago and absolutely love it, except for a few things.

#1: My browser speed is snail slow. No matter if I'm on 3G, 4G, or wifi it takes several minutes to load pages. This happens on both the Dolphin and stock browser.

#2: GPS doesnt lock on.

#3: My voicemail all of the sudden won't work. I don't get any notifications via visual voicemail or otherwise, and even if I dial my own number it always says I have no messages.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
#1: download and install adfree from the Market. Once installed, either click on REVERT or download the new hosts. You may or may not have to reboot. That'll solve the slow browsing speed.

#2: May or may not be a signal issue not necessarily from your end.

#3: Notify Sprint and see if there's a problem with their voicemail feature.

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the SD tweak. I had the new Gallery (I forget in my old age what it's called but the flying 3D one) and took it off my phone because it was so laboriously slow. After flashing your 512 tweak (I have a class 4 16gb card) it is like instant in displaying all the media. Caulk's did not deliver the same performance (in fairness I only used his 128). But thanks duly recorded.

Does anyone know where I can download a .zip file or metamorph file so that I can get rid of the % in the battery?

My HTC EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Each percentage is displayed through a png file in the framework-res.apk. You can either find a theme that doesn't have the batt percentage, for example one of the GB notification bars here, or you would have to edit all 100 battery icons and remove the numbering :eek:. Wish it was simpler...

EDIT: I attached an example of the GB notification bar sans battery percentage. :)

now that i have figured out how to use 7zip to tear down frameworks, changing out .png's are a sinch. now i just have to master using gimp for editing pngs.

i was doing a nandroid after i flashed in a new kernal (4.3.2 havs/cfs/sbc/more) in amon ra 2.2.1 yesterday and i walk away as usual, usually takes 5 minutes, but when i came back i had a screen half full of dots...and it was still going after 5 minutes nearing the 10 minute mark...so i battery pulled...changed out to clockwork recovery and did a backup, and it took about 6 minutes...so i am not sure what the issue was...it didn't do that when i was ziggy's...i switched because battery life is about the same for both but while on and using, ziggy would use more battery but barely any when sleeping. it evens out in the long run but netarchy still just runs better on my phone, always has.

How are you getting 10? I, too, have a 16G Class 2 card but consistantly get 2-3/5-6. I am set on 256, but have tried 512 yielding the same results. Perhaps it's the card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
AR has given me endless dots on one occasion. There are a handful of people who have experienced it. I do not know if this is what happened to you but I had waited until almost my full screen was filled before pulling battery. I cleared davlik-cache and cache rebooted into the rom to allow them to be recreated, then the nandroid went through as usual. Apparently something in the caches can cause it to hang like that.

Could be what happened to you...might not be :)

pulling the battery during the nandroid did not do anything, no different then pulling it during a boot loop, only time a battery pull will be bad is during radio updates, i do know what i am doing, my phone has been running flawlessly and bug free.

when i ran the nandroid in clockwork, i like it has a progress bar and has the files listing its backing up...so i watched if it would hang up anywhere...and it didn't. so for now i am just going to use CW
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
The OP did a battery pull to stop what he considered to be a malfunctioning nandroid operation and he switched recoveries in an attempt to have better success with his nandroid backup/restore. There are others who might have done the same thing. Normally, it is not advisable to pull the battery while making changes to your device while in recovery, but that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't especially when things appear to not function as it should.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i have gotten the endless dots during amon's recovery and did a battery pull with no issues. i just slapped that bad boy back in and booted back into recovery and attempted it again. usually the culprit is having the USB plugged in

stock host file

Hey guys, as a fellow Myn user (except now, I'm rocking caulkulins rom), I wanted to share this info. Calkulin has a zip that will give u the stock host file for those of u that don't care about ads. I know that one solution was to revert the host file with the adfree app,but the ads don't really bug me and I've noticed that my internet browsing is pretty Speedy. Just go to caulkulins OP for his rom and its listed as an extra file. I still love myns rom, just wanted to share. Sorry I can't link but I'm not on my PC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
You are indeed correct, my friend. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Exactly, a nandroid backup changes absolutely nothing about the files on your phone it is just reading them, so there is nothing that can be done to damage anything except maybe the sdcard (very minimal).

Even if it did something you can always restore to a different backup or full wipe and flash a new rom. Some reports have stated that even pulling a battery during a radio update will not completely brick the phone (DO NOT TRY IT!!) as the EVO goes into a diagnostic/recovery mode of its own and can come back to life after a period of time. Though some do report otherwise.

The key with any of it is research and patience.

Posting misinformation is not how things spread. How they spread are people that read them and believe them without doing their research, if anyone is flashing custom recovery images and roms on their rooted device, they should make sure they are fully informed before doing anything. It is not our burden to screen posts for those too lazy and irresponsible to do their own research. If they ask a question, however, then it is best to provide an informed answer.

Having said that the risk of doing any damage pulling a battery during a nandroid backup is very very minimal. At most it would set you back to a recent backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
It's true. Happened to me and I had to pull the battery. Nandroid backups only read from the phone. No writing to NAND involved. The only situations you should NOT pull the battery are:

- RUU (flash firmware via HTC PC updater)

- Flashing a radio, Hboot (bootloader), PRI, NV, or WiMax. Anything else you interrupt, you can pretty much flash again. Hboot is by far the least likely to ever not flash correctly.

- Nandroid Restore

- Anything application that is modifying something in system. This can be fixed though as long as you have recovery access.

Basically, as long as your phone boots into SOMETHING, you're fine. Meaning, if your phone shows the bootscreen (the HTC EVO 4G screen), it's still alive. Scenarios:

1) Your phone only goes into Bootloader:

- Download a recovery.zip, rename it to PCIMG36.zip, flash in bootloader. Now

have recovery. Flash the ROM.

OR

- Use an RUU flash the phone back to out-of-the-box new, then use

Unrevoked to root and put everything back

2) Your phone only goes into Recovery (and bootloader):

- Reflash your ROM, wipe data if necessary

OR

- Wipe everything, restore a Nandroid backup

3) Your phone does nothing (no white HTC EVO 4G screen):

This means you f*cked up the bootloader, which tells the phone HOW to boot. It's kind of hard to do and you should pat yourself on the shoulder for accomplishing such a hard task.

- Take it to a Sprint store and act like an idiot and say you dropped it while updating it and the battery came out. Pray you get a clueless employee. I DON'T ENDORSE THIS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I am in total agreement with you F(red)....especially the last part....lol:D By the way, how's that new white EVO performing for you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ten Ounce:
The adfree trick worked great. Thanks for that. The last piece of the puzzle is the terrible battery life. I can lose 25% within 15 minutes off simple web browsing. I installed the battery tweak and it made it worse. It seems that the radios are what is using up most off the battery. I used the radio pack that came with the rom. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BorLEH:
Thanks a bunch man! :-)

My HTC EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Just butting in here...

The endless dots in recovery seems to be caused by not wiping cache and dalvik prior to a backup.

I read enough to know that some people are having the problem, but not the specifics of any one person.

I believe that this only happens on AR 2.2.1, and has since been fixed in his later recoveries.

Hope that helps someone

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I would suggest rolling back your PRI to 1.77. The 1.90 that is included in the update has a significant drain on some devices. 1.77 is perfectly compatible with HTC #15 kernel it is just the radio that has to be the newest.

Calk's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

I would also check out some custom kernels at some point in the future as well. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
It's not endless. It SEEMS endless. It's because in 2.2.1, it Nandroid also backs up the Cache and Dalvik Cache, which are usually huge. The 2.3 Tests don't (I'm using Test 3, heard 4 is buggy).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
With the HTC 15 (built-in kernel) and the 256 tweak I was getting 2-3/6-7. Since switching to my current kernel I get consistent 2-3/10. Mostly 3/10, which means my brand-name, Sandisk C2 card is performing at, or above, specs.

I regularly do a disk fix on it, and only have 5 out of 16 G filled. I keep a lot of program stuff, not a lot of music/video, 1 each AR & CWM backups, and all the zips I'd need to reinstall my phone including the R5 ROM zip, my kernel zip, my Rosie, and a few others.

I assume brand plays a part in it, as well as condition, and I imagine ratio of empty:filled plays a part, too.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
thats the AR i was using...but backup went fine in CW..i can always go back AR, i always try to have a good backup in clockwork and ar. never can have enough backups.

usually when i am doing nandroids, i am doing them before flashing new stuff, so the caches are always wiped. i wipe caches before flashing anything out of habit. but this was after i just flashed some mods i just made and wanted to make sure i had a nandroid that had the mods flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
i acciddently put my phone to overclock 1267 max with set on boot enabled. then i realized that was too high so my phone restarted, now i cant get into setcpu again to disable the max value... is there anyway i can do this without reflashing my rom and stuff???
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
There are people who've stated that they have gotten better battery life b dowgrading the PRI & NV from 1.90 back to 1.77. I tried it but I didn't notice any improvements. That's not to say that there aren't any. Personally, I go through a routine where I charge my battery until the LED displays green and then unplug it. I wait 60 seconds, check to see if the battery widget app still displays 100%, if it does not, I plug it back in until the LED displays green. I repeat those steps until my battery stays at 100% after 60 seconds and when it does, there is no more drop in battery level and I can go well over 24 hours with moderate use. NOTE: I have an extended battery, by the way. I have not tried this routine with the default battery, but I will eventually just to see how it works. Yes, it's a pain, but i'm used to it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Good to know. Thanks. Besides, I'm adamant about wiping the cache & dalvik that whenever I go into recovery, whether I'm flashing or not, I still wipe those two items and that includes prior to using the nandroid function.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yes. Create a text file called "setcpu_safemode" with nothing in it. Remove the extension so it's just "setcpu_safemode" and not "setcpu_safemode.txt". Place it in the root of your memory card and start up the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
okay thanks for the help bro.. but ummm im going to kind of need you to explain how to make a text file lol and im guessing go to usb ms toggle in recovery right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Make it on your computer. If you're on a PC, right click on your desktop, hit New -> Text file. Name it setcpu_safemode and erase the ".txt" part. Then just like you said, drag it onto your card with USB MS Toggle.

Extra Bloatware

I searched the thread and didn't find anything, so I'm sorry if it was covered somewhere.

I just switched from Fresh and one of my favorite parts was the removal of all the extra bloatware. I realize some of this has been removed with this rom, but is there a way to remove the facebook, twitter, friendstream, etc. I don't use any of these sites anymore and the space they take up, both on my phone and in the app drawer bother me, haha..

Awesome! I didn't realize titanium could remove apps, and appreciate the list..

Should've used it to backup my apps as well, appbrain no longer can push apps to phone because of new market. Lots of time to re-download :( it's that or re-install nandroid, so either way kinda pain.

I was wondering if the wide theming allows for 5 items in the dock or still only 3?

And finally, I hope, the widget controls in the pull down, I'm aware there is a forum for changing these, but is there a way to do it while keeping the theming associated with this rom? I wanted to replace one of the items with 3G so I can toggle between wifi, 3G, and 4G..

I flashed this ROM about 6 hours ago, and so far I am in LOVE!!!

One thing I will say, is that after switching over from the AVA-Froyo Z3 Overhaul ROM, I have noticed a significant dip in my 3g speeds. It could be that I am involved in an insane blizzard in Chicago right now, but regardless, 200kb on speedtest is a bit weak.

I ran a hack on the AVA mod that changed the HTTPS servers for my 3g service, and boosted me up to 1.2 to almost 2.0Mbs on 3G. I didnt think installing this ROM would wipe that from my system, but I am curious if that is the culprit.

While I am searching for that thread again (I seem to have misplaced it) feedback would be appreciated...

All that said, I REALLY enjoy this ROM so far (love the font change), and look to stick with it for some time!

If you get slow browser speeds, download adfree from the market, hit 'revert', reboot, then in adfree, update hosts files again. (the hosts in the one cooked into rls5 are out of date)
