I think you got buried in the apps2sd discussion.

First, my phone didn't like that kernel. Of the 4 or 5 kernels I've tested, that's the only one I noticed a significant difference.

Second, of the different techniques you said you tried, did you, after fully charging (green led) did you unplug, wait a couple minutes then plug it back in and charge back up to 100%? The phone for whatever reason, when it gets to 100%, stops charging. Even if it's still plugged in, it will not start charging again until it drops to a certain level but the green led will still show. I saw like 93% after 5 minutes but if you catch it when it hits 100% it will stick.

And, you might have some rogue app. I use Watchdog from the Market to check to make sure my apps aren't misbehaving.

Way too many folks have sucess with this phone and this rom to not assume it's one of those 3 issues.

Semi-noob here just trying to contribute. I've learned most of what I know about this phone from this fine sub-community so anyone else can add?

Fail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Joshnor713:
Hey guys, I'd appreciate if someone would offer me some good suggestions on this problem I've been having a while now.

The problem is, about 15% - 20% of the time I bring my Evo out of standby, it is unresponsive/starts picking items on the screen by itself. My Evo has become my business phone, so I really need it to be stable. This problem I have isn't just using Myn's roms, I've tried many and the problem is there. And I've tried several different kernels too, the HTC ones, king's, net's, baked's, none help, although, some make it more or less severe. For instance, HAVS seems to make the problem a lot worse.

Could it be an undervolting problem that my phone doesn't like? If it is, I would imagine at least the HTC kernels should work, but no. Could it be a hardware problem? Should I think about unrooting and sending my phone in for a replacement?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Which folders should appear SD card with a fresh install of TwoPointTwo RLS4?

Love this this Rom and props to Myn for making the Evo even better, wasn't sure that was possible. ;) Ok, sorry to ask a potentially noob question, but I've searched the forums (read almost every page) and this has vexed me a bit every time I've had to wipe the phone completely and do a clean install of this (or prob. any, ROM). After doing a factory reset, wiping the cache/delvic etc. and flashing the rom, I'll explore the SD card to find a number of folders left over from old apps. Most of which are empty, but any app that recorded sounds will have those files. I believe wiping the phone only does that, not the SD card, but not all of the folders that were there before are present, only some. So, in order to not delete the wrong folders, as I think I've done in the past, does anyone know which folders should appear on the SD card after a completely fresh and clean install of TwoPointTwo RLS 4? What files are safe to delete in order to REALLY start over? Also interesting, if a folder has files in it, say Google listen, and I reinstall that app while the "old" folder is still on the SD card, it won't recognize the contents i.e. downloaded podcasts. Please, anyone have any input?

Browser Issue

Ok, so I reinstalled Myn's ROM to my gf phone last night after she was having some issues with it. I cleared data/cache/dalvik. Flashed the ROM. Then we reinstalled a few apps via Titanium. The rest of the apps we manually downloaded and installed from Market. The phone seemed to work pretty well but for some reason when she opens her internet browser it just closes after few seconds. I rebooted the phone a few times but still no luck. I even tried to flash the RLS3 browser but the same problem occurs. We have the stock kernal that comes with the ROM. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
That's the method I used. It's a tiny bit scary (and a bit confusing) at first, but once you do the first one, piece o' cake!!:D

On that page is also a way to change your Notification bar, thus ridding your phone of all vestiges of the Sprint name except the logo printed at top right on the phone...:mad:

give custom kernel a fair test

wouldn't it make 'sense' to make a nan backup - call it existing data backup.

wipe everything. flash RLS 4. reboot. flash custom kernel.

make a nan backup - call it custom kernel base.

try it out clean. add a few things. test. add a few things. test. ... ...

then if you have a problem, you can say it's not your kernel for your phone.

if you don't have an issue, then wipe everything and nan restore the custom kernel base backup.

then try nan advanced restore of just your data from your existing data backup and see how that goes.

when i troubleshoot and test setups, i prefer to test them clean and add,

rather than just dump all the built up data in one lump from a prior kernel setup.

but my awesome Mom taught me well - patience is a virtue.

I tried to use netarchy's kernal again. Apparently my phone does not really like it as much. I think my phone has the new camera software and it just gives me a black screen on it. Anyone else getting this on there phones?

[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
do a nan backup and full wipe and see if you have issues with a clean install and no setcpu nor battery tweak of any kind.

adding a few things at a time. that will tell you if it's your phone or data/apps.

sounds like:

warm updater doesn't work with ClockworkMod recovery.

you need to flash them the old fashioned way.

(boot into recovery and select zip to flash, after wiping)

I've done this with the loading on every rom I have tried. With a completely stock, custom rom, I still have the problem.

Are you saying to load a completely stock (rooted) rom and see if it works? I could give that a try, just gotta find it. I guessing if that doesn't work it's a hardware problem then :(

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I still haven't figured out how to make dowloads go straight to the root directory of the sd card using Astro. So whenever I download a zip file, it goes to a download folder. Amon recovery doesn't look there. Using Astro, I select the zip files(s), copy and paste them into the sd root. But every single time I do that, the Warm Updater says its missing the MD5 file. So I flash it by going tinot recovery, etc.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I select the entire zip file so where is this MD5 file that Warm UPdater tells me is missing?

I can't figure out how to tell Astro to dowload stright to sd root, either. That would be the best solution.

I don't believe copying to root is possible dude. :(

Not sure about the issue you're having with warm updater. I've never updated anything from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I just flashed Netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-hav-more-smartass kernel and my initial observation is that in opening & closing apps, my EVO is responding the fastest, however, scrolling the apps menu is slowest. That is not to say that it drags. I'm saying that compared to the other kernels I've used, scrolling through the menu is the slowest. Nothing more. I'm currently charging my battery to capacity so I can see how it does with that. I'll report my findings later. Anyway, thus far, everything is working as it should and hopefully will continue to do so.

Sprint is still, imo, the best carrier.

Great coverage, VERY VERY good pricing, Evo...

And yeah, all I want for christmas is RLS-5... There are only a few improvements I want anyway. This rom has been the most satisfactory experiences on all the custom Roms I've used.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Bleys43:
Sounds like you are using clockwork recovery. Warm updater will not successfully install roms or add-ons with clockwork. Either choose to not install after you use warm updater, and reboot into recovery and flash the zip manually, or install amon-ra recovery. You can use rom manager to install amon-ra (at the bottom, in alternate recoveries), but keep in mind that you will no longer be able to use rom manager to install roms after you switch to amon-ra
[EVO 4G Android Development] dinkoh:
Tried to search, but no avail. I was wondering if anyone had problems with their camera no longer work after awhile? When I load the camera app, it goes black. Only way to get out of it is to hit the HOME button twice. Completely wiping the phone and reinstalling the ROM doesn't fix it. Hardware issue? Sort of odd since the camera was working fine before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Of course copying to the root of your SD card is possible...in almost ANY file manager. Don't know why you're having issues.

I've never had a problem with the reliability of any MODs (zips) because I download to my computer, USB connect and slap my phone into Disk Drive mode, slide the files onto my SD card from the 'puter to ANY directory on my SD card I like. (So as not to clutter my root SD directory, I created a "ZIPS" folder to make getting to it, for flashing, easier - it's only 2 up clicks!).

I find the less layers you have to wade through, the more you can count on the results. So booting to Recovery, then flashing from the card has always been flawless for me. :D

I also let Titanium Pro sync to my Dropbox, which has already proven wise as I was away from home and desperately needed to get an app back.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Yes, copying to the sd card is possible, I believe he meant it wasn't possible to download a zip straight to my sd root, at least that is what I think he means.

Amon will only read sd root files. You must be using Clockwork if you put zip files in a folder. I have never had a problem with the reliability of mods or zips, only gettitng the md5 file to move over with them from the dowload folder to the sd root, which is where Warm Updater looks, and a feature of this rom that I am trying to make the most of and use. Booting to recovery and flashing is no big deal of course. I don't always want to wait til I get home to use a usb connection to move files around. Actually, I only do that about oncve very few weeks or so - clean it up a bit.

Just trying to use Warm Updater, that's all. Doesn't work when the md5 files are missing, and the md5 files are missing (or Warm updater can't find them) when I copy (or "move")/ paste a zip file from the download folder to the sd root.

Does anyone know how/why the md5 files aren't coming over? They flash fine in amon, just not via Warm Updater.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
You must mean DOWNLOAD THROUGH ROM MANAGER, no? Because downloading through a browser, either on computer or phone, will let you CHOOSE a directory in which to put the file. ROM MANAGER doesn't give you that option...

I do use Clockwork. I've read all the info and recommendations, and even tried AR for a while, but for me (and maybe it's because it's what I learned on and am used to) I find Clockword incredibly easy and reliable. I just wipe the caches twice and I'm good.:p

I barely use ROM Manager at all, although I've started using it for backups as it lets you name the file whatever you want but still keeps the underlying MD5 tag on it. Makes it SO much easier to choose one when having to restore something. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
get to a point where your camera does work. full wipe and clean install of RLS 4. then add from there and test along the way.

I have already done that lowetax. I think twice. Its okay I am pretty sure there will be a fix coming out soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
No. I am not given a directory to choose from. And no I don't dowload through Rom Manager. The option I am given is do I want to use Astro or Rom Manger? I choose Astro. It goes to the download folder. That is the default. I can not change that.

I'm just tyring to get the Warm Updater to work right. Myn built it, I would like to use it. It works great for the Add-ons he has in there. It doesn't work - FOR ME - when I choose exisiting because since I've move files from a subfolder to the root, Warm Updater doesn't see the md5 files. Flashing the zip in recovery is fine.

Just tyring to use the cool tools we have with this rom. With all due respect, if you don't use Warm Updater and/or have not seen the md5 error, then perhaps you might not be the best one to help with this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
+1 but i always use nan to create backup and change the name later

and always flash from recovery. old fashioined, but works.

i only wipe dalvik cache twice to appease Myn :)

Warm Updater - Download folder

Myn or someone correct if I'm wrong... Don't think Warm Updater does not have a file association scritp/code in it...this is why you're not getting it as an option to open the file using it.

Got what youre trying to do... clear the notifications after the download completes through the browser, I'm asuming DolphinHD. The default folder is "Download" same as Warm Updater. Then go to Warm Updater and tap the "Existing" button, it'll read the files within "Downloads" folder that have .zip extension and select the one you want to flash from the selections and tap "Apply Update" and it'll flash.

I don't use Doplphin, but I see what you are saying. I copy/move/cut zip files from the Download folder to the sd root because that is where Amon needs them to be. My Update Folder in Warm Updater is set to "blank" for root-directory. I can reset it to Download (the default). copy/move my zip files back to there and I should be good to go! I'll check it out. I kinda hate to keep zip files in two places, but I want to keep them in sd root, too in case I get stuck in a bootloop and neeed to go to recovery, all my stuff will be there.

I don't know what to tell you, my friend. I flashed Netarchy's (havs-more) around noon today and everything is fine including the camera. After reading your post, I clicked on the camera and found it to be working as it should. The only thing I do when changing kernels is wipe cache 4 times then wipe dalvik 4 times and then the battery stats 4 times in that order. Afterwards, I flash the kernel and then reboot. 4 times is overkill, I know, but until I have a problem I will continue to do it that way.

UPDATE: After going back a few pages, I discovered that I flashed Netarchy's toastmod 4.2.1-bfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass at approximately 11:15 this morning. A little over 2.5 hours, my battery is showing 94%. That, to me, is amazing especially with moderate use. Without question, this particular kernel is tops on my device in that regard. I've yet to experience any reboots and everything is still working. This may be the kernel I stick with. Again, all I do is wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats 4 times each in that order.

I'm using this kernel as well and as you say, performance is excellent. Interestingly enough though, when I first installed it my battery life was really good (18-26 hours) but for the last couple days it has seemed to get worse. Nothing that is catastrophic, but noticeably worse.
