4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass is nice as well. I've been using that kernel forever and it has never let me down. I've tried others but I always seem to come back to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JinB:
Also, changing the PRI back to 1.77 helped my battery life a lot. There are many combinations to try...
[EVO 4G Android Development] drewtorrespr:
Hey Rick,

Ive been using ur rom since i discovered it about 2 months ago. Tried Konikub's Elite 1 rom, and myns rom but got alot of battery drain....Discovered it was doing the same on your rom. Then I remembered from the beginning when the EVO came out that some widgets were real big battery drainers. Ive been using Netarchy's SBC kernals and changed the PRI to 1.77 to maximize battery life and did wonders on your rom. Recently I started using Bookmarks widget and didnt realize it was eating battery out the ass till just a couple days ago. Do you or anyone know why? And if you can before your next release see if you can optimize it so it eats barely or no battery at all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
On the bookmark widget, do you have it so it just lists your bookmarks or do you have the live view showing. It could be draining the battery by updating the page view. I don't know, just a guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
This ROM & Kernel (but with all the necessary coding/drivers to enable full HDMI out) is all I need! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] drewtorrespr:
thanks man that made sense what you were saying...
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Today I went out to checkout a few new phones. That new Motorola Atrix, especially with either the multimedia dock or that semi-laptop dock is AMAZING!!!!!! So tempting. If only it were an HTC phone with Sense, not that moto-Blur(ry) junk.

But I also checked out that HTC Inspire. It seemed quite fast and responsive compared to my EVO. I also noticed it had Android 2.2.1 on it. Wonder if that is what Rick is working on for a new Rom? But I also just updated a few programs today in the Marketplace. One of them, in the info on the current update, said "support for 2.3". So is Android 2.3 out already?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I will never get service from at&t. They needlessly handicap their phones. I remember when they sold their 1st android phone, they locked out access to the market!

No doubt the Atrix looks good, but by the time htc gets that same hardware in their phones there will be more apps optimized for it. But this is only my opinion.

It seems like ric has been underground for some time now. Hopefully he is cooking up something crazy!

Yes. Cm7 is currently running with gingerbread. But I am to hooked to Ricks Roms to go with Cynogen. I think this is the longest I've ever had to wait for one his Roms, which probably means its going to be really good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] suicidedoordavid:
been using Ricks ROM since version 4.0 came out and i love it... except for one lagging issue... maybe someone else has had it before.

issue:

time lag of some 20 or so seconds when either choosing a persons shortcut on my wall to call them, or when navigating through the history i try to call a person and the screen goes black and stalls for about 20 seconds before actually dialing that number.

this also happens when scrooling through the contacts when i decide to call them. i'm sorry guys, but i don't have enough time to scroll through 425 pages to see if anyone else has been having this problem. and searching really doesn't pin point this problem... or, i'm not using the correct search words.

could this be a radio issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stashu11:
I just tried this Netarchy Toastmod - 4.3.2-cfs-sbc-havs-more. Wow... it rocks. Much improved battery life over the HTC #15 and no negitive effects as of yet. Thanks for sharing the suggestion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] travisw0204:
Wow I've never had that issue and I've been using Azrael since its inception. I'm not sure that would be a radio issue though. It sounds like maybe something you installed could have been bad. I'm not sure how many apps you have but one way to find the culprit is to start fresh and reinstall each one to see where the problem lies. You can use Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro and install each apk with its data one by one and after each app install, check the Shortcuts, People & Call History to make a call and see what happens. I would say delete the shortcuts you have now and reinsert them but it seems like the problem lies with your Call History and Contacts as well so something is definitely behaving badly somewhere.

I can say that I just updated my Wimax and Radio and I'M FLOORED by how much better my battery life is, my 4G signal strength and just the overall zip to my text messages and calls.

Ric, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, please stop to take a bow because this rom is by far the best I've ever had the pleasure of using. I can't wait for your next dish. If it's anything like this, I'm gonna be the envy of all my friends....AGAIN. LoL
[EVO 4G Android Development] JSmurfy:
have to say after i fully wiped this rom was very smooth and solid.. in the last week i was using it some reason i started overheating. but none the less this rom is still a fav.
[EVO 4G Android Development] suicidedoordavid:
Thanks for the suggestions.

As you stated, how would I update my Wimax and radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vandelay007:
There is a thread in the dev forum that has the latest of each.... read it carefully if its your first time updating radios....

You can flash a combo pack....but I always do them individually .....the choice is yours....
[EVO 4G Android Development] suicidedoordavid:
Thanks! ...............
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Ditto, I would flash the radios individually. There seems to be less problems than flashing the combo radios. Combos work fine for some but I know for me, I had better luck with the individual flash than I when I flashed the combo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] broncobuddha:
Just getting around to this. What's the file name of the HTC lockscreen?

Also, seriously, does anyone know how to get VPN working? I've recently flashed netarchy's 4.3.2-cfs-sbc-havs-more because I was led to believe something in the #15 kernel was preventing this.

I've even tried insmodding the tun.ko file and it says it already exists but I cannot connect. It immediately fails. Like it doesn't even try to connect. Very frustrating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] broncobuddha:
Well, I got VPN to connect now. Had to go back and wipe cache and dalvik (sp) and reinstall the kernel. Once that was done, I was able to connect to my network.

However, I can't seem to remote to my work pc. It won't connect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Can someone clear this up for me?

Hey everyone. i just wiped my entire phone and installed the DarkTremor Apps2SD version as I have a class 6 16gb card... I did not make any partitions before installing, just completely wiped phone and reformatted sd card... After putting back all my apps on phone through Titanium backup the phone claims I only have 180mb of space left but I had about 260mb with the original version (non-darktremor)... Did I need to create ext-3 partition before flashing this ROM? I'm a bit confused as I have never used DarkTremor version before. Someone please clarify. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
It's so hard to find an answer in search. I only come up with the scripts pages and I never really find anything that explains how to use it or if it just works.. etc... Having never tried it before I'm so confused.. Any help would be greatly appreciated as my search has only yielded more confusion. LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny8504:
hey quick question would anyone be able to tell me why when i connect my phone to pc now i dont get the screen that allows me to select charge, htc sync, tether or disk drive? just started happening recently after working good for so long
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I completely understand how you feel. I can tell you what I did with this ROM and my class10 card after my extensive searching.

- First, make a backup of your SD card contents as partitioning will erase all data.

- Now boot into recovery and go into the SD partitioning menu. I forgot the actual commands, but you want to select create ext partition (it my say ext2).

- Select 32MB for swap and 512MB for ext. The partitions will be created.

- In the same menu, select ext2 to ext3. This will make your ext partition into ext3 (don't do ext4 though). Now your partitions have been created.

- I know there's another way, but I go back to the power off selection in recovery, take the SD card out and connect it to my PC and copy all of the contents of your backup. Once finished, I put the SD back in and boot back into the recovery.

- Making sure you wiped the right things (data, cache, dalvik, and now sd:ext), flash this ROM.

- Follow all of your normal procedures for flashing kernels, mods, etc.

- When ready, you can setup DT's a2sd.

Now there's multiple ways of using ext3; but I'll share what I do. It works for me and I don't have any issues.

- Download terminal emulator from the market (its free).

- In your home screen, hit menu > settings > application > manage application > on sd card. Now move all of the apps you see here back to be stored on the phone. DT's a2sd is different than this one; both will work in together ok, but I find it better to have all apps use DT's a2sd, so we need it off of this "on SD" screen.

- Now, using the terminal emulator; type su and press enter (you need to be in "superuser" to call a2sd commands), then type a2sd check and press enter. This will show the current configuration of a2sd. Entering a2sd help will show a list of commands.

This is where you will find many different ways you can set a2sd up. I'll share my setup. I move dalvik cache to the main memory, the apps get moved to the ext3 partition, I use the swap partition, set heap size, and I set the memory management. Enter all of the following the following commands. Some of them will reboot the phone, so just go back into terminal, enter su, and continue down the list.

a2sd nocachereset

a2sd reinstall

a2sd swappy10

a2sd heapsize32

a2sd lowmem_aggressive

I'd probably reboot at the very end, but not necessary. Sorry for the longish post; I know how it feels trying to find this info. I think it made my phone snappier.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
It should be a setting in the PC Connection. Go to home screen > menu > PC connection.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Thank you so much. I am in the process of trying this now. I originally set size wrong for swap and had to reformat sd card all over again and then redo partitioning... Not sure if my original partition got deleted when I chose to repartition.. I hope so... Loading all data back onto sd now from computer and will flash ROM again.

Thanks again. I really appreciate it!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Sorry, can u please elaborate a bit more on this step here?

" I use the swap partition, set heap size, and I set the memory management"

Is there a correct heap size and memory management I should be setting in numbers when I reach this step?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Also, one more question. After you set it up correctly, does it show u the proper amount of space left on phone memory now? I'm looking for a way to ensure I did it right, LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
No additional numbers are necessary.

a2sd swappy10 >> will give you a swappiness of 10%

a2sd heapsize32 >> will give you 32MB heap size

a2sd lowmem_aggressive >> will give you an aggressive profile

Using a2sd help will give more explanation for these functions.

And to check to see if you've done it right (well, how I've listed it anyways);

a2sd check:

- you should see that both app and private app should be saved to ext3 partition

- swap partition is on (can't see swappy, but you can re-enter it again if you want)

- dalvik should be set to main memory (/data)

- heap size = 32 (Azrael default is 24)

- and I believe you will also see memory management, but not totally positive about this.

If you check Ti backup, you should see about 280MB free in internal (that what mine is when I just checked it) and depending on the number of apps you have, something in the sd card (a2sd). With my setup, I have 368MB free in SD(a2sd).

Hope it all checks out for you.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I found the problem. Cache mount was full. See all the details (including how to fix it, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910956&highlight=invalid+package
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how many apps do you have on your phone? I haven't heard about filling the cache partition yet; glad you were able to find someone else that had this issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
too many - Titanium shows over 300.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Wow! And I thought my 65 was getting to be too much. :)

Did you leave dalvik on cache, or move it to SD or /data?

Sent via XDA app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
Left Dalvik in Cache, however, I moved some of the larger .dex files to the SD (as Link2SD allows you to do this).

I am somewhat concerned as to what happens if I wipe dalvik, when it attempts to recreate the files - if there will be a problem with insufficient space. I am considering moving all my apps to SD and using /data for dalvik. This would also alleviate my concerns with speed of the SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Good point with wiping dalvik; I would guess it wouldn't know where to put all of the dex files that were moved by that app.

I'm assuming you have a slower SD card. Did you test it's speed? I have a class 2 card, but performs like a class 6. That would open up your options with those 300 apps.

Sent via XDA app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
I too have a class 2 (32GB). Speed is much better since the read speed hack, but I still would prefer internal memory.

With regard to the cache, I've posted on the dev's topic to see what they think. (The app has a tool to move .dex files back to the card that were previously associated). So the only real question is how to get it to re-create with out doing any damage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
So with this app, you'd have to essentially move these files manually each time before wiping?

Here is a suggestion, although you may have already considered it. Move dalvik to /data and have all of your apps in an ext3 partition, that way you have dalvik still in internal memory and have as much room for your apps as you want. If your write speed on the SD is around 6MB/s, you should see no hit in performance. The class 2 I have is slightly over 6MB/s.

Just an idea.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
That's the idea, just need to figure out how to do it. Of course it will bug me that I will then have 163MB of unused space in /cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Don't worry, that cache will fill up by itself.

If you so inclined, check my post yesterday about setting up Dark Tremor's a2sd. Not sure at what point you're at, but the info there might help if that's the direction you want to head.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
Thanks man.

The real reason I posted it was because for 2 months I had this problem (of not being able to load apps) and there was nothing on the web to resolve it. I have only found other people having the same problem. Found it as a fluke while digging through the file system.

Any apps you are aware of that don't play nice on the SD card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
If you use an ext3 partition and DT's a2sd, you shouldn't have any issues. I have no problems with any utilities, widgets, and games that are in the ext3 partition. Even something like Gun Bros works well in ext3 as far as I can tell.

From my understanding, your app's data is stored in /data/app (internal), but the actual program is stored in /system/sd/app (ext3).

If you have time and made backups, I'd say try it. Of course you know there's the usual risks involved, but if it works like I think it will you should be ok.

Good luck!

True that folks have lives outside making ROMs. I do believe Rick's last comments were that he was working on something new and I believe someone posted that a friend or family member had been in an accident or something of that nature.

Anyway I do love this ROM but I am starting to go through flash withdrawal. I really hope this is just a temporary absence as I do love this rom. When I was on WinMo my favorite ROM was abandoned by the creator.

This just creates an opportunity to try a different ROM until Ricky returns with his latest. Just do a nand backup first.

Take care Rick, you are missed and hope you are back soon.

This was the first ROM I flashed as well.

Azrael is a very nice ROM; fast, stable, everything works. It kinda opened the door for me to try other ROMs, which I have. :)

Enjoy the ability to make the phone as you see fit. Few words of advice: always wipe cache and dalvik before flashing kernels and mods (add data to the list for flashing ROMs), and be sure to make nandroid backups of your setup when you get it how you like it. It can be frustrating when you flash a mod that doesn't play nice with your setup and you have to start over from a fresh ROM.

Good luck!
