Repeat this sequence twice. On your third boot up, charge til green light, unplug and you should see your battery holding charge better.

I read this a while back and do this same procedure every time I flash a rom/kernel. There are many different ways to condition a battery but this way is simple and has worked for me. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip, I will try this tonight. Usually after it charges to 100%, and as soon as I unplug the phone it is 99-98% immediately, and opening a couple of apps, for just a minute, and I am down to 95%. Hope this helps.

No problem. How did it work out for ya?
[EVO 4G Android Development] user104567:
That's been my luck ever since 3.70 was released. I am currently running WARM Z and loving it but the battery is still crashing fast. I have tried downgrading PRI, different kernals and even a full wipe. Just texting i can drop 20% in about 30 minutes. At least i have a charger everywhere i go!

Please help

I'm going to reformat my sd card,(again) and this time I don't want to put anything back on it but the absolutely necessary files and maybe a couple .zip.

Does anyone knows what files I must keep on it?

Can I keep it blank until I download any apps?

If someone can answer I am sure is going to be in the Mynion's world.

Thank you for helping a flashaholic.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] nrap:
im thinking about running this with a dif kernal.

do you flash the rom/radios and then the kernal, or do you flash the kernal then rom/radios?

also what kernal(s) does anyone recomend? im looking for battery life, and perhaps one for speed
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
You don't have to put anything at all on it. A freshly wiped phone will operate properly with a completely blank SD card.

However, once you start using the phone, some folders that are created (and situationally necessary):

- DCIM - Camera Photos

- Android - Android System App Data (Caches, Preferences, etc.)

- data - User App Data (Caches, Preferences, etc.)

- LOST.DIR - Orphaned/Corrupted Files

There are additional ones, a couple of which are:

- TitaniumBackup - Titanium Backup's backups (default location).

- media - Where you can store your ringtones, alarms, music, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vWvSTATICvWv:
Wow, I just realized how badly I messed up that multi-quote lol :p

Anyways, have you tried disabling the auto-sync on HTC Hub and just refresh when you open the Hub? I'm running RLS5 now but I've tried WarmZ and other HD roms before it and they all have that problem....nonstop syncing which draws battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
If you already have RLS5, you don't necessarily need to change your radios. If you want to update the radios/PRI, you can do that without reflashing a ROM or kernel.

1. Radios (Reboot)

2. ROM (Reboot)

3. Kernel (Reboot)

I know some people will flash a ROM and then immediately flash a kernel. I prefer to let the system fully boot before flashing a new kernel... Just in case the ROM dev has something fancy for first boot with their kernel.

As to what kernel to use -- it really differs for everyone. A lot of people swear by HTC #15. I personally like either Ziggy's or Netarchy's kernels. When I'm on Warm, I usually use Netarchy's 4.3.2 CFS More Aggressive HAVS kernels. That gives me pretty good speed and battery life.

I also personally prefer SBC kernels, but you should do your own research before you decide to or not to use an SBC kernel.

I am curious as to why now after installing this ROM I can not get Flex Dialer Pro to functoon at all. It appears to run fine. Just wont actually take over my call & dial out accordingly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
when i was working on some framework changes and rosie mods, i looked into dialer mods, too, and so how deep they ran. it wasn't simple as switing out some .pngs in htcdialer.apk because it draws from com.htc.resources.apk and phone.apk. and this is the main reason why most dialer mods mess up things unless they are on the 3.70 framework. i have my phone where i want it look wise on RLS5 using riptides plus my custom rosie and my modified slayers TB.

theming .apks isn't hard 'cept for htc apps since they draw from com.htc.resources.apk for a lot of stuff, i have found...kind of a pain. i have not messed with that file at all in my theming.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
yo mr canes fan.

i sent you a file i had on my pc,

htc dialer for myn's.zip ...

just to test it out for you,

nan backup and flashed it - gave it a try.

and then i always reboot.

everything still seems to be working well.

you see what i have installed in my sig (koni's theme, no aosp lockscreen, etc)

the only things funky i've seen:

• in Call History existing phone calls have k:mm or h:mm before the phone number,

but all calls made since installation of this dialer have the correct day and time.

• your phone's favorites (3 contacts), the word favorites is missing.

give it a go, it works for me

hope that helps buddy !

can i go back to myn's themed dialer now ? :)

EDIT: no go with this as is ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Incubus and I took yesterday off to spend some time with our wives on Valentines day.

The nightlies are autobuilt from our subversion repos which is why despite their being no changes commited last night, there still was a new nightly generated.

Sorry for the confusion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
sell outs, buy em a snoogy and be done with it haha!....we all understand...got to pay the piper!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Mr. tomatoe is correct, the dialer encompasses htcdialer.apk, phone.apk, and com.resources.apk. There have to be a few xml edits to get everything to work correctly with the pngs. Not to mention since the dialer and phone apks have dependencies on the resources.apk it makes it a bit more involved.

I have been working on one recently kind of on and off, a lot of trial and error, but there is a bit of a nice guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831644

That is actually the gentleman who created the dialer for Myn btw. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hey DJ - after using that dialer for a while,

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Thank you. I just love this. Thanks for the heads up and the link. Someone asks for one thing and so many are willing to chime in! Nods to lowetax as well. I see your fix using calkulin's com.htc.resources but I will still try to do it. It'll be a learning experience for sure.

By the way, DG, which rom are you using? rls 5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonl99:
I am having several problems with Z, and they all may be related.

First, when I run SoundHound and press the "Tap Here" button, I get the following FC message:

"The application SOundHound (process.com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier.freemium) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

At first I thought this was the result of a bad flash, so I used Caulkin's format all and reinstalled the 2-15 nightly. But the identical problem continues to happen now, even after a clean install.

So I thought I'd run alogCat and get some debug information. No problem, downloaded that saved a file after the error, and then fired up "WiFi File Explorer", my favorite tool for getting files back and forth between my computer and the phone. It does its magic by creating a web server on port 8000. No go. No force close, but I can't connect to the phone.

So my back up is "Websharing" which is similar to WiFi File Explorer -- it creates a webserver on port 2112. Again, no go. Can't connect.

My assumption that this point is there is something blocking connections firewall-style in the Z rom that wasn't in the RLS5 rom (which I was running with no problems at all).

Any suggestions on what other info I can collect to help solve this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
DJ posted he was currently back on RLS5 ...

go for it tt !

i've already got my top two after-april-15th to do list:

• get deeper into android dev • finish redoing Lowe Blow Jersey Speed Skiff
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Thanks lowetax. I must have missed DJ's post. Android development is super duper fun to learn about. There is just so much. Between work, school, and planning a wedding, I find little time to dive too deep into android. But one day I will find some time to do several tweaks/mods that I've been itching to do.

Two questions that I am still searching the answers to:

1. the gingerbread launcher from the OP for RLS 5, where exactly is that from? Is the .apk the same as several launchers found in the market?

2. On Warm Z, the calendar/events do not allow me to choose to go to/skip an event. It did in warm 2.2, rls 4 and 5. It's not a necessity, but I like the option. myn, do you know about this? I've glanced through the Google code issues page but did not find a post for this. I should add that I am still on 02062011 nightly. I haven't had a chance to flash to the latest. If this has been taken care of, please disregard this question.

Edit: Could the calendar thing be a limitation of the latest sense?

UNIVERSAL MIUI music app?!

So I was looking to find a MIUI music player that is compatible with all roms. During my search I came across this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923737

MIUIsigned.apk

And tried it out on my RLS5. Wow! it worked!!! I now have MIUI music player on my Myn's! This was meant for

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
The lyrics thing is really nice I agree. No the other two do not have it but audio galaxy allows you to stream from home hard drive so no need for larger SD card. Buffer rates and lag are minimal compared to other streaming apps (dropbpx homepipe etc.)

I really just liked the Google UI. It's not completely polished yet but has eye candy.

Did you guys see this? Sprint considering switching to LTE in the next four to six months: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/sprint-evaluating-switch-to-lte-over-the-next-four-to-six-months/

No wonder they haven't decided on an Evo 2 yet. I hope they do end up switching and offering us free replacement phones/credit towards a new LTE phone because WiMax sucks and we've been paying that stupid 4G fee.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Yea, I have been expecting this for a few months now. WiMax isn't sustainable, it really isn't very hard for them to switch to LTE, but they will create a ****storm if they don't offer free replacements.

Clearwire hasn't been able to get the new investors they were looking for and Sprint alone isn't enough, among other things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanhad:
I loaded 2/15 also, and my codes worked fine. Downloading at 1.5mbps now, up from less than 400. Don't know what you're doing wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah. Not only that, but WiMax is horrible. It's basically glorified long-range Wifi. And with a 2.5 GHz frequency, its range isn't far at all. On top of that, even without that 4G scanning bug, the battery drain is RIDICULOUS. LTE on the other hand is always-on (when you're in a 4G area), allows for voice + data (VoLTE), doesn't really drain battery, and is an international standard. In a perfect world, every carrier would be GSM, but this is as close as we're going to get.

And agreed about the phone replacement. They had better either:

A) Release us from our contracts (worst case)

B) Credit us towards at least 3/4 the cost of a new phone (from new customer pricing)

C) GIVE us a new phone.

That 4G tax they've been saying isn't a 4G tax, that's bull****. They pay Clear about $5 a subscriber for access to their WiMax network. So it's pretty clear what it is and what it isn't. On top of that, the Epic and Evo Shift are smaller than the Evo, and by CPU frequency, the Shift is slower (again, if you're ONLY going by frequency):
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hey VIP fred, we all know that D.H. will personally send you a replacement :)

but for the rest of us peasants,

if we're lucky, perhaps a $100 credit toward the latest and greatest...

would LTE only be available where 4g is now ?

could you roam onto verizon LTE ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] glockliberty:
What is the likelihood sprint would really replace our phones? Wouldn't that cost them far too much money?

I've only been with them for about six months, do they actually do stuff like that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
Yeah right. I really don't EVER see any cell phone company actually replacing everyone's phones just so they can have access to a new and improved service... at the most, they'll credit us with maybe $50-$100 towards our accounts. That's about it. It'd be GREAT, but I don't see it happening (cept for VIP Fred, LoL)!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
:P Nah, I think that VIP thing just means "This guy isn't an idiot, so don't make up bull**** when you're talking about phones".

LTE is 700 MHz, vs WiMax is 2.5 GHz. That's a HUGE difference. That's more than double the coverage. What they would do is replace the WiMax cards inside of their base stations (transmitters) with LTE cards and issue a software patch. For them, it's easy. For us, we need a new phone. I'm not sure about roaming, but I don't see why not since we'll be on the same frequency and it costs less to maintain LTE. We'd need SIM cards, that's for sure. Also, VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is a go, so we'd be able to do Voice and Data at the same time.

You know what, I think I'm going to email his secretaries and ask, hypothetically, what they would do for us customers. I'd totally sign an NDA if that meant getting an answer lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
They are more likely to just allow us to terminate our contracts if we choose. I think the idea is that going with LTE despite up front costs will work better in the long-term. There are a number of advantages of LTE (as mentioned by our VIP colleague) and their infrastructure is really already ready for it.

It will be a PR nightmare no matter what because the general public won't understand the details they just want to know what happens with their service/phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kratos313:
nice find can't wait to see what works when they port it over!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
On the other hand, it would cost them less to replace our phones. A new phone won't cost Sprint more than $500 (what they buy it from the manufacturer). Our Evos I think are $450 off contract brand new.

Let's say 1 million customers leave. And lets say everyone's on a $69.99 plan (before taxes). Do the math. What would cost less:

Replace phones: $500 x 1,000,000 = $500,000,000

Replace customers: ~$70 x 24 months x 1,000,000 = $8,400,000,000

Oh and that's what everyone pays BEFORE taxes, and that's assuming that it's only 1 million customers and that they're all on the $69.99 plan. So yeah, you can imagine they'd go bankrupt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
Fred, Mhz or Ghz frequency can be thought of as penetrating power, not coverage power. It is the same as the wireless landline phones when they first came out at 2.5ghz and then were released at 5 - 7 ghz, which permitted them to penetrate walls without direct line of sight access. This is why some of us have to go outside to access 4G. The same number of towers will be necessary. The only difference will be how far into your home the signal will penetrate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Thanks for clearing that up. You're the go-to guy for anything super technical. I thought of it as AM vs FM where LTE would be AM (long range/better penetration) vs FM (short range/less penetration), audio quality aside.

In order to make it work you have two options.

1. Download homeswitcher and use it.

2. After you flash LP themed go into settings/applications/manage applications/all and clear defaults for HTC sense. Then press home button and it will ask you which one. Choose LP.

Have you tried either of this methods? I hope that helps jester.

OK! I went all in:D

Reformatted my SD card, wipe everything 3 times manually, move Calkulin's format all to SD and flashed it 3 times , move warm Z02152011 to SD card, nothing else was in my SD, then flashed and started from scratch.

At set up clicked no to Google backup, then all my apps started to install from market, no data, just apps.

Then the fun began, bunch of apps downloading, phone turning on and off and finally ***The process %1s has stopped unexpectedly. ... Sorry!***

I really like the speed of "z" but my phone is refusing to behave nice.

I will wipe everything again tonight and going to use Titanium to uninstall all apps, put a new SD and will flash the newly nightly, hope this time my phone behaves.
