Hi,

I'm selling my spare EVO to a friend of mine and I want it to be as close to stock as I can get it. I'm currently running the MIUI rom which is neat... but terrible as far as features go. Market links rarely work which is a huge problem.

Obviously, if there is a rom that increases battery life and speeds with a stable kernel, that would be fine. But I don't want to have Cyanogen or MUIU on this when giving it to a friend.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] cemzie:
Fresh 3.3.0.1
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
How about the stock rom?
[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
Well that's fine... I just know there are so many other roms that may offer a few added benefits. Obviously I want the EVO to have the best experience possible, but I want stuff like 4G to work too. I hyped up android quite a bit to convince my friend not to get an iPhone :D
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
+1 for stock rom.

Throw 3.29 on, root with unrevoked, remove bloat and install must use root apps (wireless tether, titanium, root explorer, etc...)

Show him how to customize and let him tinker after he familiarizes himself with aOS :)

As much as I love the dev community, I would not install a custom rom to anyone just starting out on android - because of the issues with features not working and bugs. You're opening yourself up being an on call tech support

I just used Amon Ra recovery to create an ext4 partition on my sd. Went fine, but now I've switched back to Clockworkmod recovery and every time it starts/I go back to main menu I get this error:

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

That first line shows up as well whenever I've tried to wipe dalvik cache for the last few months.

This whole error shows up when I try to create a backup as well right when it starts to backup cache, then just stops. doesn't backup cache or ext partition and doesn't generate md5 sum.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwjdd44:
sounds like you trashed your internal EXT2 partitions.....I did the same with amon recovery..........here is the post I used to fix the situation:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/

after I did this procedure, I had to unroot back to stock, then unrevoked again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
WTH man that sucks. all just because of retarded Amon ra ext partitioning for an sd card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwjdd44:
I thought I was changing my sd card from ext2 to ext4, too...... and somehow ended up changing the internal to ext4........took a little research to get it fixed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
That's odd. I used it just the other day to partition my SD card with 512mb sd-ext, 32mb swap, and the rest as FAT32 and it worked flawlessly. Something that clockwork couldn't do, mind you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwjdd44:
I worked, perfectly, to do that for me............it went awry when I tried to change the partition from ext2 to ext4. The new clockwork has the ability to partition your sd card in it..........but now I am gun shy to try.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
I knew clockwork has problems partitioning sd, so I stayed away from it. That's why I used Amon Ra to get it done. did partition sd, then did ext2 to ext3 then to ext4. Then flashed back to Clockwork and next thing I know this problem comes up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewUserNeedsHelp:):
I had this same problem last night. I fixed it by going into ROM manager and reflashing clockwork
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
I tried reflashing recoveries, but that didn't work. I went through the process that was posted above and it fixed it, although I didn't have to RUU back or anything. I just formatted everything on my phone, pushed the 6 files and ran the parted program, then all was fine. Did the partition on my sd again to ext4 and now it works
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
clockworkmod, at least 2.5.0.5, can't handle ext4 partitions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
I'm on 2.5.0.5 and have an ext4 (that works now) and it seems fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
Interesting. When I created an sd-ext partition ext4 clockwork wouldn't recognize it, giving me the same errors above. Switching it to ext2 worked fine.

Hi guys,

I posted here several months ago searching for beta users to an app I've been helping out with.

For those of you that don't remember,m Zazu is a mobile app that is capable of verbally waking you up in the morning to your calendar, email, weather and news! It released in the Android Market earlier this week. The basic app is free, and I’ve been told later this week they will be releasing features like calendar integration, advanced RSS controls, better voices, etc.

I’ve been testing the full version for some time now and have even played with some of the features they are releasing shortly as indicated in an email they sent last night. It's incredibly useful to have the weather read to me as I'm getting out of bed, followed by my calendar appointments, so I know when and where I have to be for my meetings. I also get some comic relief the mornings I don't want to wake up...thanks to the Onion's rss feed. The current voice is so-so but while testing Zazu, they showed us some pretty sexy voices so I’m guessing that’s on its way soon!

All-in-all, it's a kick ass app with some very promising features, wanted to share as I thought you may all enjoy it as well!
[Android Apps and Games] nhshah7:
hey guys,

i also just found out that zazu's giving away free coffee to people that are trying out zazu for a while. try it out!

info: htc desire bravo | hboot 0.93 S-OFF | clockworkmod 2.5.0.7

well, beeing brain-afk while following a guide for cyanogenmod6 with a2sd, i used a mtd-repartition tool for the g1.

after repartitioning and rebooting, clockworkmod cant mount sdcard anymore - probably because device nodes got changed. "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

i reflashed clockworkmod via fastboot hoping it could fix something, but no, didnt help. i cant install any zip because i have no sd-card. i cant boot to the android system, because i dont have an android system.

my idea would be: erase recovery, flash a tool which restores partition table, start "recovery" so that this tool does its job, flash clockwork mod again and install the operating system.

any better ideas or hints for what that "magical tool" can be would be appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
after more reading and more testing, i understand, i destroyed the SPL

this would explain:

why sdcard isnt mountable

why i cant access the device via adb

why linux doesn't detecht a propper device - only a high-speed usb device

next on investigate list: how to flash an spl - isnt that what hboot s-off includes?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
yes alpharev is a modfied spl, but i dont know if your going to flash it if nothing will detect your device as a desire :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
well, even more testing...

my alpharev hboot does support flashing all partitions! great!

i did like its said on the alpharev homepage:

fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img

it said, it worked.

i had an old leedroid backup and found this:

so, no system and data partition around - hboot, recovery and boot already reflashed. i also tried the spl with less system and more data bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img - but it doesnt seam to create the partitions if they are missing.

edit: why is fastboot missing in the linux android sdk btw? have to use windows for this...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
its late, and i cant find a way to get further. no idea how to re-setup my mtd partitions atm or why i dont have adb in clockworkmod even i reflashed the spl.

tomorrow is a new day, and i am hoping for you guys...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieftm:
The /data partition is called 'userdata'.

So use 'fastboot flash userdata <img>'.

In regards to the system partition, fastboot has a 220M (about that size) limit.

To overcome this limit (and do all of the above at once):

Zip the images you have:

-boot.img

-recovery.img

-cache.img

-userdata.img

-system.img

Add to this a file called android-info.txt:

modelid: PB9920000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__203

cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__016
cidnum: HTC__032
hbootpreupdate:3
mainver: 2.10.405.2
DelCache: 1

Flash the zip using fastboot:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip <whatever-you-called-it.zip>

Done! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
thanks for your reply ieftm. i really was full of hope, that this would work / fix my phone. unfortuatly, it throws an error:

finished. total time: 35.256s

will search the forum now for infos about android-info.txt - do you think, this also would fix the part why clockworkmod cant access the sdcard anymore?

edit: i tried both unix and dos format for the .txt file (crlf vs lf) - both produces the same result

i extracted the rom.zip and extracted the android-info.txt - still the same error.

to be honest, i am thrilled to install the RUU and start all over again. but if that fails, i got nothing left - no modified hboot, no clockworkmod

This is what i did, use a Micro SD card reader and format your SD card. Here is a link to a formatter, http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ then when you double click the sd card on My Computer, it will say you need to format again. Do it and then repartition your SD card. YES, what i did WORKED. because i had the exact same problem.

hope this helps:)

I don't know how, I guess using G sensor/accelerometer, but I need an app that can tell me the dimensions of an object, even if i have to slide my hd2 above the object for that same distance.

There's an app like this for iphone, there's an app like this for android. I would be ashamed if there was one for symbian; since it seems there's no app like this for WM.

There's an app (Dimensions 1.3) that supposedly it did what I want; but does not work... didn't even run.

There's a lot that can measure small objects, up to 4.3 inch perhaps in an HD2.

Iphone has one that works by taking pictures

i just installed a few minutes ago, haven't had the opportunity to test yet, but if battery is going to be compromised, i'll probably also uninstall.

if the app is actively listening all the time, that's bad. is it possible to tweak the app so that only an incoming call could wake it? and, then there could just be a quick check to see if it's from someone else with tango, then ask user if they would like to connect with tango, otherwise shut the program back off, completely.

battery usage is a huge deal, especially with the evo.

Is anyone having problems with audio? I have tried using tango with my wife's epic over WIFI and 3G. Video is good but my audio breaks up on her end, I here her just fine. So the issue is either outgoing audio on the EVO or incoming audio on the Epic.
