Good, if your partition is created, you should now be able to follow the steps that mikebeam suggested. You don't HAVE to have the android tools if you are going to do it from the terminal app. It's just easier to type the commands from your PC's keyboard instead of the Evo keyboard.

BTW, when you created the partitions it didn't specifically say to take anything off of your sd card, but the process of repartitioning the card basically wipes it. That's why the very first step was to back up the files on your card. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
If you were going to use the HULU app, it was recommended that you not install flash from market and to uninstall the version currently in use.

Is she constantly talking on it? Does she surf the net in 4G constantly? How is she using her device? Before i recommend flashing a different kernel, knowing her use habits could be helpful.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Ok, cool. My PC is in the process of downloading/installing sdk packages. I will follow mikebeams suggestions next. I hope.

The files that are (were! - ha) on my sd card are backed up. I just got the new sd card last night, so I still have the original card, so they are there. Plus I have a full nandroid from 11/28. I did a nandroid last night but.......I guess that got wiped when I partitioned.

Wish me luck!

She is not even using it and it drops like a percent every 60 seconds. I had cyanmod on it before and her phone went all day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
last night's nan backup didn't get wiped - you have the new card in there now!

that's what got partitioned.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Some app is eating the battery. Look at what is running. Check awake v. sleep time and make sure they are not the same.

Easiest thing to do might be to kill all, power off, pull battery, put it back in after a few minutes, power on. See if it is stable after that.

First, go to menu-settings-about phone-battery-battery use and see what's sucking the life out of it. If it's an app or Bluetooth, etc, disable it accordingly, however, if everything appears typical, I would wipe and reflash the rom or a different kernel.

What file format should be used on a new sd card ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Definitely wish you luck, though it's not too difficult. I'm gonna make a couple additions/modifications to mikebeam's instructionsfor the sake of clarity. (Hope you don't mind Mike)

1. adb remount

2. adb shell

3. cd /system/bin

4. a2sd reinstall (phone will reboot)

Repeat steps 1-3

5. a2sd cachesd (phone will reboot)

Repeat steps 1-3

6. a2sd reswap

7. a2sd zipalign
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
The apps2sd partition will be ext2/ext3 (linux partition). I believe the rest of the space will be partitioned as FAT32. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Bluetooth issues

There is definitely something up with my bluetooth. Fresh wipe and install, bluetooth won't connect to computer or car anymore. Keeps trying to connect but then disconnects.

Anyone found a fix for this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
ugh. Stuck. I downloaded and installed all the sdk stuff. When I go to sdk manager, the dos-prompt type screen comes up but wont let me type anything. Is that the adb area?

Where is the adb area, how do I get there?

I am really confused. I thought I did all the right things - nandroid, read the FAQ, follow the instructions.

I guess basically I don't know what to do from here but I think I have all the right tools now.

I really appreciate this help, I will pay if forward for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
But that doesn't mean that something didn't go wrong during the install. Prior to flashing, did you wipe the battery stats? On my previous install of RLS4, I had a problem with my Bluetooth not disabling and some people had the 4G wake lock issue in which the phone would not enter sleep mode after disabling 4G. After a couple days of troubleshooting and reverting back to RLS3 for a day, I've since reflashed RLS4 and everything is as it should.

Wish i could help. I think adb is like a command promt like cmd used on your pc while your phone is connected to the pc . Its a adb.exe file you use. When i dl'd "pushboot" files to force install a bootanimation the adb.exe was included. Perhaps someone here may have a direct dl linky for you. If you have terminal emulator i think you should be able to just use that instead to enter above commands.

Ok. This is without a doubt the best rom I've used so far, so much so I don't want to flash themes our anything to mess it up. That being said, I'm lucky to get 8 hrs of light use ( bt off, gps on, wifi at home and work, 3g) before I need to recharge which is unacceptable. I've got setcpu to 245 screen off and thats it.

Been running for a week, so the os had had time to settle. Htc #17 kernel, which is stable, fast, and responsive. Id love any suggestions, I'm out of ideas. When I flashed I did a full wipe including battstats.

Sitting at 19% left after 5.5 hrs. :(

But the updated is the PAID version...although it'll be worth $1.99 to save my power button from insanely repetitious pushing!!!!

Quick Boot is the name of the utility, "hot reboot" skips the intial shutdown of the phone and simply reboots from the OS up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
In terminal emulator I get

adb shell - NOT FOUND

cd /system/bin - NOT FOUND

After installing all the sdk stuff, when I run the adb.exe it goes real fast and then disappears. It doesn't seem as if the sdk/adb stuff is communicating with my Evo even though I have it connected via usb.

Hell, this is taking longer than rooting :p

Would there be any advantage to putting my old sd card in and just starting over?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dynamicpda:
The loss of RSA keys or Wimax functionality seems to be a big mystery. I read tons of warnings before rooting and flashing but also stories by people who didn't think about it or do any backups and never losing Wimax. I've rooted, flashed a radio, and a ROM and never lost wimax.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Your new sdcard should already be formatted and you shouldn't be prompted to reformat it when you put it in the Evo. The procedures mentioned earlier are for if you want to create an ett2/ext3 partition on the card for use with apps2sd.

hey slug - pm me your landline phone #
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Doing it from the terminal app, you are basically in a linux shell and it's slightly different. With the sdk stuff on your pc, it should have created a directory with a name similar to "android-sdk-windows" (I can't remember exactly). From a dos command prompt, navigate to that directory. Once there, you will see a "tools" directory. Change to that directory and your adb commands should be there. Then you can issue the commands we mentioned in previous posts. BTW, you only have to type adb (you can leave off the .exe part).

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
One thing I forgot to mention slug, your Evo has to have USB debugging turned on. If iowetax talks to you on the phone, I'm sure he will help you with that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Yea, I was wondering if that might be part of the problem. Usually the debugging is there by default, but I noticed I got a text and was able to use the phone when it was connected as a disk drive and knew that wasn't right but then couldn't remember how to get debug mode turned back on. Did most of that stuff a long time ago.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Well, I *think* I got the apps2sd to work. However I think I have "stuff" in both places - root sd and the partitioned part.

Things such as music, zip files, and nandroids are back. Titanium shows:

sdcard 30gb (24gb free)

sdcard (a2sd) 448mb (323mb free)

So basically I still have 6gb gone from the root of my sd when I thought a big junk of that would get "moved"?

Anyway - does this seem right to you and is there something I can do to double check this?

Thanks again for everyone's help. Much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
yeah, I think that is what happened to me. I think. I didn't do a wipe or reflash, but terminal emulator finally recognized the adb prompts.

[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
I'm going to take a wild guess and say....

1) you have many unnecessary apps running in the background

2) you are leaving your data connections on

3) your 4g toggle is stuck on even though it says its off(known glitch) download aLogCat to see if this is a problem for you. It was destroying my battery life.

4) an application is putting your phone into a wake lock (download spare parts to check)

Not to long at all.

This is a really good post with very verbose documentation of exactly the setup you are running which is extremely helpful to others.

Thanks for sharing.

Yup, I've gone through 5 EVO's and all of them had 1 issue or another. I ended up just keeping my original and sucking it up.

Quality control at HTC at least on the EVO isn't the greatest. I would have though they would have learned some things from the HD2 since they are almost identical.

If you are running the Hulu mod, for the Demon voices (out of sync) issue to be resolved we have to downgrade the Stagefright drivers. This may have been the difference. Also, many Kernels tweak the audio levels, typically increasing the gain which again can have a perceived difference.

Thanks. Will update first post :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Take the services.jar, framework.jar and framework-res.apk from RLS3 and push them to /system/framework/ or make an update.zip that does the same thing. This will completely eliminate the power controls in the notification pull down.

[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
@ Everyone having problems with 4G.

Your phone needs to be rebooted every time you turn your 4g on and then off again. It is a known glitch in HTC's software that has yet to be fixed. It will show that the 4G toggle is off in settings but it's still scanning to find a network in the background.

Download the program aLogCat and look in your log to see if it is connecting repeatedly especially if your having bad battery life.

*IMPORTANT* If you are using any type of toggle switches on your home screen like SwitchPro then you are most likely scanning for a 4g network without meaning to.

I really suggest that EVERYONE check for this using logcat because I really didn't think it was happening to me and there was nothing hinting that it was other then bad battery life.

I bought both of my evos at Radio Shack. Mine was release 0002, which I purchased in June. Total cost after I sold them my Pre was $78.00. This was a premier sprint upgrade. I purchased my daughters evo last month. It was hardware release 0003. No issues with leaking light and her evo was $140.00, and included an HTC case. There was no line when I picked up either my phone or my daughters phone. Loving my mymed out evo. My daughter is a cyanogen user but when 4g comes to the OC, IM sure she will also come to see the error of her ways. My point is that sprint is not the only place to get your evo. Sometimes you even get better hardware that costs less than you get from Sprint.
