A tip for those of you who, like me, still use Clockwork Recovery (I really do not like RA at all).

Supposedly, Clockwork doesn't clear Cache and/or Dalvik properly so those of us who use CWR wipe them each twice. I still do that, but before I even boot to recovery I use these 2 programs:

"Cache Cleaner" and "CacheMate for Root Users" (and on this one, check the PowerClear box).

They're FREE in the Market, and I have found using these guarantees the reliability of the wipes in CWR (and they take less than 10 seconds).

I've also found that doing my Nandroid within ROM Manager puts a very easy to understand time-code on your back-up files and even allows you to pre-name it so your MD5 gets read properly if/when you flash the restore. And there's the benefit of not having to reboot after the backup as it reboots automatically when the b/u is done.

Okay, I can now turn my tenderfoot badge over, I've done my good deed for the day:D

Using RLS4 + Netarchy 4.2.1 BFS smartass and have the best battery life I have ever seen with my EVO (and I have tried it all). Not using SetCPU or anything else and I am a heavy user (5000-7000 mins per month, 8 conference calls today alone, heavy text and web, etc.). Best ever. Love it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
What hardware version are you? I just tried 4.2.1 bfs with more havs for a few days and i've gotten awful battery life :( i lose 1% battery every 1-2 minutes doing anything with the screen on. Even just txt messages/a call eat 10%+ an hour.
[EVO 4G Android Development] babbit:
Actually, your battery life sounds pretty good. I don't see any issue at all with 30% in 3 hours. For me, it's more like 20% an hour when I'm actually using the phone (and 0.5 to 1% during idle). You have to remember that the EVO is a high end, high powered phone with true multitasking, which means it will eat batteries. This isn't an iPhone, where even with "multitasking", most programs can still only run 1 at a time, so that's how it can last days even with constant use. If you compare your battery life with other mid-high end android phones, I think you'll see you may actually have above average battery life.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Well, I use Titanium to freeze apps that I don't want running when I reboot, but I only use that with SetCPU and a new kernel - I freeze SetCPU before I flash a kernel.

Why do you not want apps and process to run when you reboot? If they are running then they are needed and part of your start up. Froyo manages killing tasks. You should only need a task killer to kill rogue/runaway apps, and that is easily managed in system settings/applications/running services. Or Titanium. or System Panel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] investinwaffles:
So will titanium backup safely backup my settings? I had absolutely HORRIBLE results with My Backup Pro. Resetting anything but my contacts (settings, messages, etc) caused my phone to lock up every time I tried to boot it.

Just wanted to make sure Titanium backup will be "safe" for me. What is the best way of doing things? Only backing up settings, contacts, messages, email accounts, and other data?

Or is it safe to do a full restore from Ti backup??

[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
So, the BC Blend was a GREAT kernel! I really liked it a ton! For some reason, when I decided to wipe everything and start anew with RLS 4 (after the final came out) I had issues with random reboots and stuff. But, on Beta, I had no issues whatsoever. And when I flashed from beta to final (without full wipe) I had no issues either. But then, after wiping, (and before flashing the new kernel) I got stuck in bootloops for some reaosn, and when I flashed the kernel, I started getting a random reboot here and there. So, SOEMTHING went wrong somewhere in there and eventhough I got BC BLend up and running again with no issues, I started trying out net's 4.2 cfs less HAVS and for some reason, I've been getting the most amazing battery life EVERY since going to net's kernel. I NEVER used to get this type of life before, not even stock... nothing. So, something went crazy along the lines and I ended up where I am now, on Net's 4.2 kernel (not 4.2.1). But, I would still recommend bc blend to anyone out there to at least try.

I do not blame bcblend at all for the reboots. I think something was just f'ed up somewhere somehow. Hell, I got a TON of random reboots with Baked Snacks #6 (which says #2 when installed) after all this went down -- which prior to all this going down, BS #6 had no issues on my phone whatsoever. So, I dunno what all happened, but I'm good now with Netarchy's.

Android Market fails update if app moved to SD card

I'm also having problems with updates through the Android Market app in RLS4. I searched here on XDA and didn't find the same problem, maybe someone here has a few thoughts on what to try?

Updates / downloads work fine if the app is going straight to the phone. Any update I try where I've already moved the app to the SD card [Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> <app> (e.g. Phit Droid) -> Move to SD card] will download and then fail to install.

I've tried clearing the Android Market app cache, no luck.

Only thing I've found to work is to move the app back to the phone, then do the update through the Android Market. A bit of a pain, and wasn't necessary in RLS3.

Any ideas?

[Updated 12/2]

Ok, turns out this was caused by how I upgraded from RLS3 to RLS4. Using clockwork, I did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik), flashed RLS4, then restored the data partition from a nandroid. Something in that data restore apparently caused this issue.

I went back, again using clockwork, did a full wipe, flashed RLS4, then restored apps & data using Titanium Backup Pro and SMS Backup & Restore (free). After that I was verified the Android Market would update apps moved to the SD card and finished restoring the rest of my configuration. A lot longer procedure than the first, although seemingly quite stable a day later.

Or in other words...nothing to see here, move along, move along...

I had the colored vanilla lock before, but wanted to try Peekash's new zip. Worked like a charm! While I didn't dislike the colored buttonized power controls, his zip give me back Myn's black and white. Plus I really like the Speedo battery meter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
I'm not going to make this another clockwork vs amon discussion, but I would highly suggest making at least one nandroid with Amon so you have a backup of you wimax img, then you can always switch back to clockwork and carry on as you are. Otherwise if you somehow corrupt it, you're SOL.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
your applying a windows mindset to a linux world. Just because its "loaded" doesn't mean that it is taking any CPU resources. It actually is better because its ready to run quicker after being loaded. you can check with an application like system monitor to check what your CPU utilization is, if its low then it doesn't matter what is "open" your cpu is idle. It takes more resources to kill tasks/apps that aren't running and having to restart.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
True enough but Froyo only loads apps it needs resources for. Then it kills them as they are no longer needed or as it need to to free up resources. If you have a CPU monitor you can see that while there may be 10 apps listed as running - most have no load on your cpu.

I have 71 processes listed in OS Monitor, but there is only a 6% load on my cpu and 5% of that is the OS Monitor itself. When I look at Running Services I see my Y5, AndLock, SetCPU, 2 Calendar widgets, Weather widget, Handcent, Ultra Keyboard, Voice mail and several com.htc apps - but very few of those are using any CPU at all. If I kill them (for example if I kill Handcent sms because I don't have an immediate need for it) then the CPU is just going to have to load it again when I do go to use it.

What you may think is unnecessary, the os started up for a reason. If you kill it, then that defeats the purpose.

But, in answer to your original question - there are tons of apps that kill apps if that is what you want to do. I would recommend OS Monitor because then you are always aware of if the process you are killing has any load on your CPU. I like Titanium and Android System Info, too.

Transparent Title bar in launcher pro!.....with some limitations....

You can have a static wallpaper and have the notifications bar transparent in launcher pro by using the live wallpaper application "Multipicture Live wallpaper", setting every screen type to the same picture, turning the transition types off, and setting picture change interval to never. The down slide/catch is that the picture wont scroll left and right when changing homescreens and when you want to change wallpapers, you'll have to pick the picture in seven settings. its tedious*, but i think its worth it if you don't mind the process. :D
