As the others have started only sense widgets work with the sense launcher. So any HTC widgets you see can't be used as they are tied to the sense launcher

Google Fancy Widget 1.30. It's the version of Fancy Widget that got pulled off the market for being an exact copy of the HTC Sense Clock (but it doesn't flip). I can't post the apk for legal reasons. Please don't message me for it.

Also, check the market. I could have sworn I downloaded a couple months agao on my Hero, right before I switched over to my Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
If you download it off the market now, it looks nothing like the HTC clock because HTC sent them a cease and desist. They had to change it. *cough cough* 4shared.

Hey there. Ok, for the os monitor governor, go into options and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Its in the Misc section. Check the box next to Set On Boot. And then use the drop downs for the frequency and governor. You might not want to set it to Set On Boot until you know for sure the governor and range you selected are happy on your phone.

I hope this helps, and that I understand what your trying to do.

hey cali. when you say known issue, that is only if you've fooled with moving 'stuff' that is normally internal, onto the sd card, right ?

before you moved 'stuff', you never had any issues regarding sd card, notification sounds, etc., did you ?

Hey, Snookie, YES, I did...

The "SD Card occasionally going unread" issue has been documented more than a few times in the last few pages (of this thread) alone and I don't think most are using a2sd or App 2 SD.

While I do use App 2 SD (from the market) I've tried moving all the phone apps back to the phone and uninstalling App 2 SD and still had occasional "SD Card unmounted" issues.

My "fix" of moving essential sounds to the /system/ was just a temporary fix so those of us having the issue don't miss important stuff when the SD goes unread, (like our tax guy calling us and telling us it's only 2 weeks before year's end so start prepping those receipts...).

:D

Due to poor coverage inside my house I was going to try out Roam Control. I know there are posts about it earlier on and I understand how to use it. But do you guys happen to know if there is any risk of damaging your Sprint PRL by using this app? I just don't want to do it then get crappy service when I switch back to my Sprint PRL.

And on another note, I want to get a different text notification for my phone the stock EVO sounds just aren't cutting it.. Do you guys know of a good site where I can find some good ones? And I am looking for just a beep like sound, pref. if I could get the one from Blackberries or something, used to love the one I had on my Curve.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Right. I see the option. What I'm saying is, that option is grayed out. I cannot select it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
Okay, I finally figured out how to do it. Go into your options and you need to enable the "Show Notification Icon" option and then enable "Autostart". After you do that you can disable the system notification if you want and then you can enable the Set CPU on boot. Hope that helps you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] checkawrz:
Apparently vanilla lockscreens and transparent titlebars don't like each other on my phone. I was using a vanilla lockscreen until I flashed a new titlebar and now my lockscreen is the black themed vanilla lockscreen which isn't compatible with my alarm. How do I go back to the stock one/where can I find a lockscreen that will like my titlebar and alarm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Ah, got it. It looked similar enough that I liked it though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Oops, sorry. Maybe you have to select a governor or a frequency first and then the option to Set On Boot while go un-greyed? Idunno
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Look in the themes section. There are several Themers that have created what you want. I like the ones Peekash (in my sig) has created.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Bingo! The autostart option was the key. I saw that option, but thought it had to do with it starting "other" apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
Yeah, same here. I find it odd that you have to enable the notification icon to do that though. Someone screwed up when they made this app!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Yep. And not only that, I rebooted and the governer still defaulted to "interactive" even though I set it to "smartass".
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
And this was after you set up the set cpu on boot!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Yep. I un-installed SetCPU at the same time, so maybe there was some confusion. Now the SetCPU is gone, I'll reboot again.

I've asked this before in this thread, but I've yet to see a fix. My battery life is garbage, and in Spare Parts under "Other" usage, my usage is 100% "Running". When I click on it, it says time without sleeping. 3 hours 52 minutes 24s. This is the time I took the phone off the charger. I have a 1800 mah battery, and after 4 hours, I have 35% left.

Please help me figure out what is doing this.

Question -

I flashed the Gingerbread keyboard, but want to go back. I was using the stock Android keyboard beforehand.

How can I revert back to the stock 2.2 keyboard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
You need to take a look at the partial wake usage under Spare parts and see if you have any Rogue apps!

P.S. Myn's battery life is NOT garbage. You need to go through settings and configure things to work for a better battery and make sure you have a good kernel for your phone. CFS in general is a better shot for battery saving. I am on the new Ziggy beta and had 39 percent battery left after 22 hours off the charger... Yes this was light-moderate usage, but don't go bashing on MYN.
[EVO 4G Android Development] supdawg:
Looks fine.

Let me say that when I first flashed the rom, I was getting 30 hours of normal usage. After a week or so, it started going down hill.

Im not calling myn's rom garbage, I am calling my battery life garbage. I am smart enough to know its probably not the rom, its some rouge app. I just need help figuring out what it is and how to fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
It doesn't touch the PRL. I'm not sure how it works but I've been using it since I've gotten my Evo and it has never failed me. Also for Ringtones, Wallpapers, and Notification sounds, grab the Zedge app.

for starters, 4G, GPS and others left on can kill your battery. also do spare parts since boot not since unplugged, if your plugging back in your not tracking all possible issues. plus if you load system panel you can also look at aps use and plots
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
Thats fine I guess I just misunderstood your post because it sounded like Myn was being blamed for the rom giving you bad battery.

is there a way to get an unthemed version of the market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
+1.

I'm on Ziggy's471 12/5 CFS Beta for 5 days now and my [standard, 1500mAh] battery's lasted a bit longer every day.

I'm in production and going set-to-set, doing 8-10 hours off charger, using Nav, text, gmail, internet, even tethered for about 20 minutes yesterday, and getting home with 40-50% left.

That does not suck!:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] peekeesh:
I used that partial wake usage and it worked for me. I determined that one of my apps is not closing properly when pressing home instead of back button when exiting. Anyway, id say try restarting your phone. As you open apps, try checking your wake time and total time. See if the wake time does stops when the screen's off.

The system panel idea is great too.

Hope this helps in any way.

SD Card read/write error -- possible fix

To those of you with SD Card read/write permissions errors:

If you have had the intermittent read/write permissions errors with your SD Card lately, I may have found the solution, other than having to format the entire SD Card and repartitioning the thing.

If you have this issue, it may be due to corrupt files that were being read by your computer or something which was cut off before the read/write could take place (e.g., shut down computer in the middle of loading thumbnails of images in DCIM folder -- which is what I believe did it to me)

So, I read somewhere (sorry, I cannot give appropriate credit where it's due b/c I cannot remember who posted the thread/post) that if you connect your EVO to the computer/laptop, mount the SD card (this is using Windows-based computer) and then go into Explorer. I then right clicked on the 'Removable Drive' drive icon (the drive associated with the SD card that you mounted from your EVO) and selected 'Properties' from the menu. Then it brought up a properties window. I then clicked on the 'Tools' tab from within the properties window. You should see a tool called 'Error-checking' and a button next to it that may say 'Click to start'. Basically this is the window's checkdisk program that runs for mountable disks. It reads the filesystem of the SD card (or disk associated with it) and repairs missing or corrupt files/folders.

Once the 'Error-checking' window pops up, you'll have two check boxes to choose from to select. I made sure that the 'Automatically repair problems' was checked and made sure the bottom check box, 'Scan for and attempt repair of bad sectors' box was unchecked (as this isn't necessary unless you really think it is).

Then I began the tool by clicking 'Start'. This scanned my SD card for a little less than a minute and brought up a report. MANY thumbnail files were either missing or corrupt and this tool repaired these problems. Ever since running this tool, my SD card has not intermittently had the warning come up on the notification bar (e.g., an exclamation point (!) with the words, 'SD Card read/write failur tap...')

Try this out if you experience this problem here and there and see if the problem comes up again. This hopefully is a quicker, less invasive solution compared to formatting and repartitioning the entire SD card.

Hope this works for y'all like it has for me thus far. It's only been a few hours since doing this fix, but so far, I haven't had any issues yet. Good luck y'all!

[EVO 4G Android Development] elosogrande7076:
I read from several posts here that GPS while left on but not used by any program will not drain your battery....is this not true? Is better to leave it off? THanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
Truthfully, turning it on and not using any program that actually enable it will not drain the battery. From my understanding, turning it off just does not allow programs that use the GPS to enable it until you tell them to enable it (e.g., by turning it on). The only caviat is, there may be programs, such as weather widgets, etc., that may use the GPS intermittently to get location information to display appropriate info to you. So, in that sense it uses a little more battery. But really, it's not usually that much more for me.

But simply put, if GPS is 'enabled' but not being used by any programs specifically, then no, it shouldn't drain your battery any more than when you turn it 'off'. The only time it will drain faster, is when GPS is actually being used by a program and you see the little GPS icon on u'r notification bar. I'm under the impression of that with the GPS on/off story.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
The kernel is designed to be as efficient as possible, but also to be used on any EVO, since not all EVOs can scale well to 128, you may wish to force this either with a set cpu range or a screen off profile. If the kernel defaults to 256 that's fine, but 128 might be able to offer you more battery savings. You won't know until you try :)

You can leave GPS enabled, it uses zero battery until called upon by an app that needs it.

I had the same issue and then reset it and SU popped up and asked for permission. I rebooted again and it was fine so my guess is that it wasn't being allowed on the initial reboot by SU.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I would kill everything and reboot and then see if it continues. You are having a wakelock issue if your awake and asleep time are the same. There are so many things that it might be but the best way to figure it out is a PITA - that will entail reinstalling each app, one at a time, via Titanium or from the Market. Sometimes killing the apps will do the trick and the bad one wont start up again.

Getting great battery life and speed with out setcpu or the battery tweak.....Netarchy kernel is more than just my kernel of the week......it is probably the best I have seen and I was hooked on the HTC 17 for a about a week....probably won't be flashing to another until I see RLS5. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
I can't agree with you more, except 4.2.1 causes my EVO to reboot randomly, but rarely. Instead, 4.2 is my lifetime kernel :) I think it's by far the best kernel out for the EVO thus far. 4.1.9.1 was great, if only it had the smartass gov. to go with it. Otherwise, I'd be on 4.1.9.1 again.

sounds like a kernel issue so either check your Setcpu profiles if you have it or go with a less aggressive undervolting
[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
Yep, usually, if you haven't overclocked further than default, than it's more than likely the undervolting issues. If you're on netarchy, move to the 'less aggressive' or 'no havs' version of the kernel. Otherwise, you may need to go back to HTC #17 for stability purposes.

As an old Windows guy, any time you have to boot out of something you leave files hanging, and regularly have to clean those files out so you don't slow down, or get errors.

I got my second random reboot in as many days with zigg's beta kernel. It happened last night, and again just now. Last night I was running setcpu only to set the governor to smartass on boot. I was not overclocking, nor did I have any profiles set up. Today, I removed setcpu and am using os monitor to set the governer to smartass. I am slightly overclocking to 1036800. I think I'm going to go back to a netarchy kernel. Those did well on my phone. Ziggy's performs well except I experience a little lag when using setcpu with it. I have no lag when I run it naked or use os monitor. I'd probably stay with it longer to allow the battery to settle in if it wasn't for the random reboots.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Yeah, I set my min for 245000 and when I checked it, the min was actually running at 128000. I REset them, did another reboot and checked again. This time it was showing the settings I chose.
