Yes, exactly, in fact follow that same post step by step. All of you answers are right there and saying them again will be a repeat.

Please be more careful with SetCPU. It is nice to use but a pain if you accidentally choose the wrong setting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
Yes sir to that one, I know I've said this before but, I REALLY APPRECIATE your help when us NOOBS run into problems... Will always supprot your work!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am a noob too, just a good guesser when it comes to fixing problems :p

I have no problem helping you, I know when you are unsure (even if you know the answer) you are going to worry if you are doing the wrong thing.

You will learn more and more as you use it, that is why it is good to run into problems because you learn how to fix them.

Pretty soon you may be helping others, just learn each fix and how to avoid problems like the one you just encountered and you will be in good shape.

Glad to have your support and to help you.

Sprint voicemail update successful

Ricsim - the update finally worked. There must have been a delayed sequencing issue as I was in poor signal coverage when I was doing the ROM swaps. This taught me to make sure I have a good signal to get the cleanest install I can! Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
What's your take on msl reader??? Good app to have, and when would I ever need it?? Also, LauncherPro??
[EVO 4G Android Development] dj2big:
Because my sister does not like demon looking angels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Hehe:)

I can understand that. I told you how to switch them out but they are NOT demon looking angels, just hooded ones. Maybe they are just simply misunderstood?

The word Azrael means, "Dark Angel" and has been portrayed as such since the times of the Bible and even before. Besides, not ALL of the wallpapers are "scary" hehe.

In any case, enjoy.

I should come out with a sister ROM called, "Happy times" with pictures of puppies and bunnies :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You are saying it a good app to have and not even sure what it does hehe :)

From the website:

"This program reads your Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) code for your CDMA Android phone. It requires root to read this code."

If you do not know what that is, you don't need it.

LauncherPro is a home screen replacement that works well but you cannot use Sense widgets with it and for some reason, other ROM makers have stopped including it with their ROMS I noticed. I own the paid version but have not used it in a while. It is nice but never has seemed to work as consistent as the stock home screen.

ADW Launcher is along the same lines.

[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Just I quick question, what recovery are most people using in this thread amon ra or clockwork? I want to flash netarchys 4.2 kernel and just wondering of anyone has flashed that using clockwork? Also in clockwork there is wipe data and cache but I don't see dalvik. One last thing titanium backup I can't get my stuff back any suggestions? Sorry for all the questions
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Haha, ok maybe a demon or three for us :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
First get over to amon RA recovery. MUCH more reliable than Clockwork IMO.

You can use ROM Manager to flash amon.

In my experience Clockwork does not wipe well. There may be a Dalvik option under Advanced options but even that I wouldn't trust.

For TiBackup-did you click Problems and dl Busybox? If not that could be your issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Ok deleted titanium re installed got busy box can't find my apps oh well mo biggie DL them agagain. One more question I think I read it somewhere that Sprint hot spot is unlocked in this Rom ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It is, if it does not work, just flash Calkulin's USB tether fix and it should work for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
You are the man this Rom is awesome I've been using the phone a lot and I'm on skyfire browser battery is awesome. However, I'm gonna get amon ra wipe and all that jazz again seeing as how people say its better. But my hat is off to you my man!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] l2icky:
Wow, just installed SetCPU, lowered my speed and it jacked my phone, had to reflash the kernal...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Great to hear, thank you very much :)

Just be aware that Amon RA stores Nandroid backups in a different directory. But yes, use Amon Ra is you like your stuff to work and cause less headaches :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yes, be very careful with it. Some phones do not like to overclock, some do not like to underclock, and some do not like either.

Make sure you do not click set on boot until you run it for a while and are SURE it is stable. Quick fix is a kernel reinstall but still.
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
As I mentioned fantastic battery life another quick question for u ricism, what are you using to kill apps? Task killer, task manager, auto task killer, or none?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
None, I find they can be more trouble than they are worth. You can kill apps using Astro or the build in application tool.

They tend to run and run and kill the battery faster and not needed with Froyo imo. I have not used one in the longest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tokaichi:
Loving the 2.4 update and 2.6 low rider update. ^^ Such a great rom!

If you don't mind me asking, which hardware version evo do you have?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
It's good to know your msl and have it on hand. You'll need it sooner or later for sure. You can always download the app, use it to retrieve your msl then uninstall it. Works great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
I just use autostarts. Keeps my apps from starting on their own (excluding apps that I have syncing) and I let froyo close them if I launch them....
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
Any one else getting FCs on the browser if you use the hardware back button a bunch of times in quick recession?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Yup. Install the browser fix in the op to fix that.

One little thing...

I am getting great results but the phone is not sleeping. What suggestions as to how to track it down?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
Damn looked twice too... Shame on me. Sorry guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
that worked.

hey ricsim... updated my sig as promised! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skippy38:
Hey love the Rom so far bit I'm still getting crazy battery drain. Have not loaded any kernel just what was in core zip. Should I think about a different one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
hey ricsim, any chance of getting a azrael version of the mattedblues smooth mod? found here??? It's labeled as "v1.3 SMOOTH"....

Would love to have the animated status bar icons and battery percent.... along w/ your optimizations and window transition animations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
This has probably been covered already but is it possible to turn on or use the Sprint hotspot with your ROM without paying for it? I never tick the checkbox because I don't want $30 showing up on my bill.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lancem71:
Boot start-up

I totally agree. I love this ROM BTW....but I did like the original start-up better.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
when you flashed did you also wipe the battery stats? also look in Ricsim sig and in there

is so helpful advice on batterys. as far as a kernel each kernel can react differently to

each phone. That being said alot of users of azreal 2.4 have been reporting great success

using one of netarchys 4.2 kernels. hope it helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HDRobbie:
Installed 2.4 along with the battery and tether addons yesterday. Impressive!! Looks good and runs very smooth.

Tried a couple of kernels (netarchy 4.2 HAVS less/more smartass universal). Both ran well. Currently running HAVS-smartass-more running. Very stable running @ 1220. 1226 freezes it up (at least we can remove the battery.....)

Tried wired and unwired tethering. Both worked flawlessly.

Have not tried 4G (not available here yet) or HDMI. Did not do any theme work. I like the stock one so far.

Well done!

How is battery life for everyone? I'm getting a little worse with 2.4 and netarchey 4.2 bfs aggressive them I was with 2.3 and kings cfs#11.

I have read in a couple places that 3.30 is worse on battery than the base before.

Just curious what everyone else was experiencing
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
This is so true...my phone hates any cfs kernel...it always gets all glitchy when I use them. Bfs kernels always run great for me...running kings 11 and its ultra smooth.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kkryter:
First off, a salute to the chef, love this new ROM! 2.3 was my first go with it and now 2.4 is even better. Like many have expressed, I love that you're putting together the themes that will do what they're supposed to yet not mess with anything you've done. Add to that great performance, polish and documentation and I'm pretty confident that I've found something I'm going to stick with!

On to my question : I'm on somewhat older radios and PRIs ( 2.15.00.07.28 and 1.40_003 ) and such and was wondering if anybody could recommend with confidence whether I would be wise to apply the latest combo pack from Calk from the following location : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

I usually like to be up on the latest and greatest but just wanted to see what the more knowledgeable here thought.

Second related question would be this : if I back up my current setup with Rom Manager, does that include all of these things? I'm just wondering because it would be nice to know that if I do decide to do this and things don't work out well that I can get back to where I was quickly like with a regular OS type ROM.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Been running netarchys 4.2 bfs aggrrsive since 2.4 dropped and

am very pleased with this combo.

I have seen some post here and

other places mention about the

battery issue with this build,

It seems that every different build

in my case uses a different kernel.

Ive used most of the kernels....bfs,cfs trying to find the right combo.

That being said i believe that the same kernel that worked before...bfs,or cfs may not work for your

EVO on newer build. Im not saying im right just in my expeirence.

On another note, thanks for being

helpful on the thread.

Hey guys, I tried installing this rom on my evo. I did COMPLETE wipe before I installed it but after I installed the rom it was cycling on the boot screen meaning it would say droid, show the eye and then the azrael screen and back to droid again. Luckily I backed up cause if not I would've been stuck. What went wrong? Did I do something wrong?

Did you wipe data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext. and are you using Amon Ra's recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] squiggie:
Download "Spare Parts" from the market. Once downloaded, open the app and select Battery History -> Partial Wake Usage (top dropdown).

That should show you which app is the culprit.

Yea I wiped everything clean but I'm using clockworkmod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
I DL the ROM and everything works fine, but I wanted the lowrider theme so I did a full wipe and then flashed the .zip. Tell me if I am mistaken but low riders theme is the one with the castle and more bubbly icon right? well I got the more bubly icons but not the castle. I am using clockwork for recovery and wipe could this be my issue seeing as how people say it doesn't wipe fully most of the time. Either way I am switching to Amon Ra'a right now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Everyone seems to be saying that clockworkmod doesn't wipe correctly. I'd switch to Amon Ra's recovery, do the full wipe(wipe data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) again and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
Ok great advise, I'll try it. Thanks.

Hey I am trying to switch to Amon Ra's recovery so I can get better wipes to ensure Arzels rom works better. I followed Amon's steps using terminal app and I got nothing. Amon says that you need to make sure you have flash_image to do this how do I know if I have that and how do I go about getting it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Just download it from Amon's thread at put it on the root of your sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kkryter:
I don't mean to sound impatient or rude, but this is now several pages back with no answer and I'm afraid that means it won't be seen and I was really hoping for some advice. Can somebody give me an educated opinion on my question? Chef, what levels are you running? Thanks a million!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
You can also download ROM Manager from the market and there's an option in there called "Flash Alternate Recovery". Click that and it will allow you to flash Amon Ra's recovery image but make sure you have his recovery image on the root of you SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
I DL it and used both adb shell and terminal app and I get sh: flash_image: command not found. dows anyone know if there is a flash_ image in this rom. Actually I thought you had flash_image or else you wouldn't be nand unlocked which I am. I dunno any help would be appreciated. I am going to work now and I'm going to look up fastboot, let me know if anyone has had succes this way?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You need to have Amon RA recovery in order to backup your WIMAX, with Amon do a Nandroid with Ext and you will have it backed up. I used the combo fix and works fine for me, just make sure you backup your current ones with Amon Ra first.

I do not recommend either Clockwork recovery or (especially) ROM Manager. Amon RA is the way I always recommend flashing or wiping.

While a good idea, Rom Manager has caused more problems and has never seemed to work right for me. Clockwork is known to have issues wiping the Dalvik.

Use Amon Ra, it is better not only for usability reasons, but also for reliability and it is the only recovery that backs up your WIMAX.

Thanks for the compliments and please enjoy. I have not had much time to be on until now, sorry for the delayed answer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I can guarantee you this ROM works with ADB and terminal as I have used both with it.

You need to use Hboot 0.76 in order to use certain commands. Flash these in recovery. First the Hboot and then the add_flash and it will work.

Note: You may have to wipe your phone if you get bootloops.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
ROM Manager was the only way I was able to successfully flash Amon Ra's recovery. If it weren't for that I'd still be trying to flash the image. I kept getting all kinds of error messages when I did it the Amon Ra way. That way worked for me once and that's it. I was getting the same error messages that winkynatedog was getting. Why is that happening if the Amon Recovery image is on the root of my SD card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
So if we don't have an extended partition to back up we don't get our WIMAX backed up? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Hey vanessean could u tell me how to do it w/ Rom manager cause i couldn't figure it out. Plus Rom manager is a clockwork program isn't it? I'm going to try it riscim way w/ the zip filles he posted but if that doesn't work ill try your way using Rom manager
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
You're only using ROM Manager to flash Amon's recovery, that's it. The option toward the botton is called "Flash Alternate Recovery". That points to Amon's recovery on your SD card.

It flashed fine for me. You can try it if you want.(shrugs)
[EVO 4G Android Development] collinbodge:
thanks for the response first off! im a noob...ya im using the themes from the post...i install the stock rom without a problem..loads fine...everything works..i boot into recovery...wipe data/cache using Clockwork and install theme zip..it installs it fine but when it loads up i have no signal or it gets stuck on boot..weird...i reinstalled the stock again and tried again and the same thing?? not sure whats going on....could it be clockwork?
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Thanks will give that a shot
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yes it is likely clockwork not wiping the Dalvik. I am telling everyone, Amon Ra is the way to go.

I am going to be releasing an update of my ROM, be called Azrael 2.41.

Here is the list of changes. It can be flashed over Azrael 2.4 or installed alone if you wish.

Here is the list of changes, small but good.

-Add_Flash command added to system/bin. (no need for a separate flash)

-Calkulin's MMS 5MB limit mod working correctly (no need for a separate flash)

-Calkulin's USB Tether fix built in (no need for a separate flash)

-Wireless Tether working, already installed (No need to install it from Azrael_Apps any longer.) **Thanks to Calkulin for the fixes**

I made some mistakes and needed to learn more about the locations but I know now and applied it. Calkulin got back to me and steered me right.

It is mostly a maintenance upgrade, but less need to flash additional things any longer.

It will be up later tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You should have no problem loading Amon Ra, go to the thread and look up fastboot commands

Download the Android SDK to your computer

Go to a command prompt

cd AndroidSDK\Tools

reboot into bootloader and hook your phone into your computer

Hit fastboot and it should say Fastboot USB

Follow the instruction in Amon Ra's ROM thread for fastboot and you are set.

That is how I did it on mine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
The changes are minor so you can flash it over the current. You just need to reinstall the kernel again and that is it. I flashed it over mine and confirmed it works.

My first post after lurking so long and I want to say thank you very much rick. This is by far my favorite sense rom. So fast and thanks for all the detailed instructions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Sounds good, please let me know what you think after you try it.

I highly suggest using the themes I modified (all in the first post) and reading the entire first post. It has a lot of your answers.

Using any theme besides the ones I have on my first page will work (and yes, to answer your question, most work with the new OTA even though they are made for older builds) but it can overwrite some features of my ROM (Boot animation, wallpapers, and transition animations, to name a few).

If you WANT to change stuff, using a different theme would be ideal. If not, please use one of my modified themes and you will be good to go. They are the same theme, just are made so nothing gets overwritten (especially the transition animations).

I hope this helps and that you like it! Newest version came out 3 hours ago, change log is on the first post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Great to hear and I appreciate you making your first post here.

Not a problem and please enjoy! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Hehe, I did answer you!

It is 9 times out of 10 best to use the latest (signal, battery life, etc.) but you NEED to backup your original radios in case something goes wrong. If you do not, you can break 4G and all sorts of other not so fun things.

Your best bet is switch to RA, make a complete Nandroid, and then flash the new radios. Any problems, go back to your old ones. It is a win-win.
