RC1 is not working for me. After flashing FR-recovery-v1.5.7rc1-CustomMTD_S.zip, my RA-recovery 1.8 is broken and generates errors like

E: Can't find MISC:

E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E: Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:
Ok, I think I see the problem

Not at home right now,

But in the mean time you should be able to flash the remove zip and return to stock

Looks like a copy paste fail and I'm excluding userdata what I shouldn't be

May also be escaping when I shouldn't be

If you have problems flashing the remove zip you can mount cache manually via adb shell

( you can also flash_image a standard recovery.img via adb shell )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywjkid:
Thanks. Just reflashed recovery and restore the nandroid and everything is fine. I am glad there is no permanent damage done. Cannot wait for the working version!

to revert to the stock MTD layout set system size to 0 in mtdpartmap.txt and flash the recovery patcher

e.g.

echo "mtd 0" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywjkid:
Great! now the recovery error is gone and the mod is working on my EVO, beautifully. More than 600M for /data. Thank you so much, Firerat. You're the best!

PS. It seems /cache and /data now share the same space. It is new to me. Does that mean there is only one size need to specify in mtdpartmap.txt?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:
you still need to specify size of cache , the minimum is 2mb

on your phone /cache is actually a bind mount of /data/cache

its there if anything needs to use it, for instance your rom may want to put dalvik-cache in /cache/dalvik-cache

it will actually be on /data, the advantage is that you can make better use of what was free space on /cache
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywjkid:
That's indeed a nice advantage. A million thanks. Now I can throw everything in the phone storage without worrying about the space. :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiphon:
How do I flash this? It doesn't show up in the list of zip files in recovery. I tried renaming it and extracting it but it doesn't look like it's in a flashable format.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcamposd:
i think you just need to rename the file's extension to xxxxx.zip (because .zip's are the one you flash in recovery), but then again I have not used that file. So not responsible for damages or anything. Try it at your own risk buddy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:
FR-AutoMTD_partitionPatcher , is linux shell script to shoehorn the boot patcher into a rom zip ( so the end user dosn't need to flash the boot patcher , its automagic ) ,, you don't really need it

to get back to stock layout,

do the mtd 0 thing

nand backup

flash the recovery patcher

format system cache and data ( I recommend clockwork recovery )

reboot

nand restore ( providing the backup will fit stock ! )

flash boot patcher

your done

Note, v1.5.7b is newer ;)

I'm using kings kernel #5 and i currently have its over clocked to 720 (and of course profiles clocked under that) I was wondering would i have significantly shorter battery life if i clocked it up to the highest (1.119) and set it to conservative
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
You'll most likely freeze up and crash at the highest clock speed, that's what happens to most of us. But that really depends on your hardware... You MAY be able to sustain that, but there's really no guarantees.

What I do (and I have pretty good battery life, it's 9:36 pm here and I just now dipped under 20%) is let the kernel do it's own thing and only set up a screen off profile that maxes out at 460.

But yeah, higher clock = more battery drain.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I cannot get over 1.113, reboots constantly over that. I get amazing battery life and performance with what I am running below.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
The word of the King

When King released #5, he was specific in saying that if using SetCPU w/ #5, only use it to overclock, as the composition of the kernel handles battery life.

That doesn't mean you can't, obviously, but I'm just conveying what I read when it was released.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Oh well thank you i had no idea. I actually messaged him on here about the kernels
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I honestly dont even know what kernel i should be using... I dont even know the difference between bfs and cfs
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
King's notes and his d/l site go into uber-geek detail on the differences - take a look. Short version (to my understanding and probably way oversimplified) is they do different things - battery preservation or speed or a blend of the two.

That said, the kernel you should use depends on the ROM and what's important to you [speed/battery/both] - certain kernels won't/don't/shouldn't work w/ certain ROMs.Take a read thru the development section, and read thru the 2 threads for King's kernels. He's got 5? (or more) kernels out in the wild. Between those two threads, you'll see where one set is for AOSP ROMs only, the other for Sense and/or vanilla, whatever.

I've made the error of bootlooping myself by putting the inappropriate kernel into a Sense ROM - fortunately I did no permanent harm - actually it was good learning. Why? Now I look for, and use, kernels specific to the type of ROM I'm using.

They aren't one-size fits all - don't make the mistake I did - read up on what's there and you'll see what I mean.

Kind regards.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Yea I learned that not all roms work... I have virtuous 3.0.1 and want performance but mainly battery life can you suggest a kernel for me?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
King's #5 or the custom Virtuous kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Lol I've used both of those I may go to kings #3 bfs not 100% sure yet hopefully ill get a message back on here
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Lee - best suggestion I can offer is for you to read up on the kernels available and choose the one that works with the ROM you are running, that gives you what you want.

The reading/learning will do as much for you as a super-speedy or battery-sipping kernel.

Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I've been reading but just can't find any real information
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alucardsyco:
The Kernels King post are defined by whether they can be used in Sense or Vanilla. His AOSP/CM are for Vanilla Roms only, and will more than likely cause bootloops if applied to a Sense Rom. The HAVS kernels are for Sense only. I change out between 2 and 5 and can't decide which is better. I also never run above 1.15 or I get constant reboots. 1.15 still reboots, but not as often.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Evanlw85:
Ok, This seems like such a obvious thing to do that there must be a reason it hasn't been done yet.

The idea, the galaxy s i9000 has a thin plastic back cover, which wouldn't interfere with an induction charging mod. So why hasn't one been done yet?

secondary question:

via induction charging; Is it possible to charge directly to the battery connectors? or does the charge need to go through the USB port to work? I think it's a bit ugly having wires protruding out that then need to connect to a usb head and then plug into the phone... I imagine that the battery may still charge with a direct charge to the battery, but the software may not control it. (i.e. no awareness that the phone is on charge)

What do you guys think?

Direct connection to the battery will probably overcharge the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
Palm Pre has it, and there was a mod for an Evo 4G using the Palm Pre coil; so a mod is perhaps technically possible. But I wouldn’t mess around with it. Inductive charging is inefficient add produces more heat compared to normal charging. Galaxy S heats up while charging even the normal way, I don’t want to make it worse.

As for charging methods, generally speaking, I much prefer open charging contacts with a desktop cradle like design (like used in home cordless phones) over inductive charging.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] NuclearEMP:
wouldn't necessarily overcharge if a charge controller was in place. (direct connection to battery)

Still here :D , and Phone including the mod are still working.

I'm quite satisfied with the mod, the only real flaw is that the compass is practically unuseable (but I never really used the compass, so i don't care)

And I does charge a little slower , the back (were the coil is sitting) gets warm after sometime , but nothing to worry about (maybe 38°C).

I would not recommend to charge the battery directly the 5V that the coil "produces" may not only overcharge the battery but may also destroy parts of the phone.

I connected the wires to the usb-port (Internally), so its like you are charging over the usb port, so there's no risk of overcharging.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chaosratt:
Any details on how you did that? from the other thread it looks like you have one wire running off to a screw (ground point?) and another directly to the battery.

leaving android behind O.o

Got an upgrade for a phone that I haven't used, and this thing just looks amazing

http://www.phones-online.org/phones...hones/new-htc-touch-hd3-picture-exposure.html

Unfortunately it will run wp7, which tears my heart out that it doesn't have android. Hopefully there will be someone that will root it and be able to install android on it since android is open source.

Pretty much identical to the evo with a better processor, .2 bigger screen, amoled display, 16gb internal storage with 32gb support of sd card, 1gb ram (vs 512mb on evo).

Camera will be probably as ****ty as evo, but it still lacks android. idk how well wp7 will perform but from what i've seen android is a lot better in my mind.

Might wait a few months after it's release to see if it gets rooted and droided to buy it. Even with hardware specs, I don't think I could make a move to wp7 from android.

[EVO 4G General] firemedic1343:
C'ya sucka!

The hardware is not that much better. The real selling point of any phone now is OS. And Android is a clear winner to me. WM7 or WebOS may be awesome in the future...but it will take time to catch up, especially in apps.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
uhm yes there is. amoled > lcd, up to 48gb of data, 2x amount of ram (meaning more 3d apps, and faster performing phone), and as we know the .3 inch on screen makes a HUGE difference, another .2 will be killer, and the processor is newer (still snapdraggon but newer).

It's like taking all the good things about an evo, and then taking all the good things about epic and putting it together, plus some more. If this phone is released and not just another rumor, it would kill iphone4. Same hardware specs pretty much plus bigger screen, and 4g. Then all the iphone4 fan boys will stop jacking off at the sight of their phone.

The only minus is wp7, but i'm pretty sure that some dev is going to figure a way to run android on it. An android phone will never run wp7 because wp7 is not open source, but android is and so is htc sense. Meaning that someone will be able to port the same exact rom as htc stock to it, but this might or might not happen.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
it's not open source per say, but with the right kernel it can be packaged into the phone.

And as for multi tasking, it does offer it. you can have multiple first party apps running. It's just limiting the 3rd party apps from running because of battery issues. I've talked to multiple people that have tested out wp7 and they say battery is conserved REALLY well by doing this. Cutting down on third party apps draining battery. And that htc has a smaller battery than the evo, but i bet the one on hd3 lasts longer.

But this all doesn't matter since I'm not looking to get wp7. You guys took me as if I was supporting wp7. The hardware would do wonders for android, hence why i want to see a port before i buy it.

BUT then again, from some sources that have told me that you will be able to play xbox arcade games on it which use some AMAZING 3d graphics for a phone, versus android which has well pretty ****ty 3d games.

and as far as navigating and calling goes, you will be able to accomplish that easily. And stream music, just not from subsonic.
