I'm trying to swtich from Clockwork to Amon Ra 1.8.0 but I haven't had any luck.

i've read posts to just go to ROM Manager and go to Flash Alternate Recovery with the Amon Ra .img in the root of the SD card. I did that, and then I lost the ability to go into recovery all together.

How else do I switch to Amon Ra?

When you pair your phone with Ford SYNC systems, SYNC offers to download phone book. After that you can use SYNC phone dial (press SYNC button, then say "Call Harry Dresden at home". And if you happen to have Harry Dresden in your phone book, it will dial the home number :) )

This operation basically copies whole address book from phone into SYNC memory

p.s. Phone half of the bluetooth connection did disconnect once today, but only once, so I am still optimistic :)

Installed perfectly through ROMmanager with clockwork recovery. I nandroid backed up my current rom and wiped cache/dalvik etc. and flashed no problem. YMMV with clockwork/rommanager, but it did work for me so far.

This is exactly the ROM I was looking for. I usually use CM6.1 but I like to have a stock ROM ready to go if theres an issue. Working perfect so far with no issues, thanks!

Well after my first reboot I'm having one issue:

Comes up to the lockscreen, and when I unlock, I get a notification that android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly, and that android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.

After that, the phone loops back to the Sprint startup banner and does it all over again.

Any thoughts? I've made a nandroid of it and I can always go back to my other, but I'd like it to work.

Gonna pull the battery and reboot again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Clockwork is fine for flashing this ROM as long as your phone has always done just fine with clockwork. I used clockwork from the time I first rooted up until a week ago and never had an issue. If your experience is like mine I would not worry about flashing with clockwork.

Just make sure you wipe everything 3 times and then just for good measure when you install the ROM it will wipe again for you, LOL

Anybody having a hard time with HotSpot at 4G (yes, I have 4G in my area)? It seems as though the 4G connection shuts down when I fire up the HotSpot. Works fine in 3G, though. Wireless tether seems to work okay.

And yeah, I already read the whole thread and applied the fixes suggested.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
it is a known fact that the sprint hotspot always kicks down the the connection to 3G

for some reason, i cant load flash videos on websites..

i used to be able to go to like animefreaktv.com and watch my shows, but just did this rom last night and since then i cant see the videos.. just has an hour glass in the video box.. any ideas??
[EVO 4G Android Development] tekkyn00b:
Last n00b question...when I film in 720p, the playback is always a little choppy, even when I transfer the file to a computer. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and happy new year...a little early.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ls430cw:
I just tried using Clockwork and no dice. Went into Rom Manager and it is easy to switch to Ra. Then reboot, do an Nand back up, then flash the new 3.70. Worked for me. I then went back and loaded Rom Manager and switched back to Clock work then went back into recovery and went to restore, advanced, and just reloaded the Data. Put all back the way it was before except with the new

ROM. Had to relog into my office email. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrubambinoxpr:
is this for my problem??
[EVO 4G Android Development] ls430cw:
No.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tical79:
This is just not my week to be playing with this phone...NOTHING seems to want to work like I plan... Anyway, if any wise sage would care to share their thoughts on the following:

--Installed ROM Manager to install RA 2.1.1 (previously I used Clockwork)

--Rebooted into RA recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik 3x each (trying to be thorough)

--Attempted to install Turbo Rom from SD card (placed in root of SD card)...

--During install gives error: data/data/android.tether/bin/tether (same as post #196)

--Redownloaded from 3 different mirrors, unzipped fully to verify not corrupt, same response

--Installed Turbo ROM by renaming to PC36IMG.zip and going through hBoot...

--Installs fine, everything looks reset, and I *think* it feels snappier...

But then I try to reboot (by holding down power button, expecting a new option), and i don't see it... hmmm, that's weird...

And I try the usb tether (attaching a usb to the phone and then to laptop) The laptop recognizes a new network and connects, but can't get internet service. I get "error code 67...blah blah blah, sprint username/password". Pretty much same thing I got before hand.

And I take a 8mp picture that is aproxx 1mb...try to send it via text (after changing messing options to 2mb)...it resizes it on both sending and receiving...

So right now it's looking like none of the actual patches are working for me. I know I'm the X factor here because it's working for everybody else... Any thoughts?

(Oh, and I have busybox (1.17.1) installed (confirmed by titanium checking for it):confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrubambinoxpr:
i wonder whats going on..

this is a drag -_- its cool we waitin for dev..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tical79:
True, not fun waiting for feedback, but my phone is fully functional, so it's not even that high on my list (wireless tether and hot reboot replace the missing functions fine)...

As for your problem, some basic information may help. Don't be insulted, but sometimes it's the little things that we overlook...

--Is your flash installed and updated (most recent version is 10.1.105.7)

--I went to the site you mentioned and got a white hourglass at first too, simply pressed the hourglass to enable that video, 2 seconds latter was greeted with an advertisement. Watched first episode of ironman (english subbed if you want to duplicate) over wifi... using 3g it was choppy, but playing.

--Have you tried a different browser? Dolphin HD? Opera (though I'm not sure flash works on that one, I forget).

Either way, it's something in your setup, as I didn't do anything special, other than let flash update when it first connected to the market. Actually, your anime site was the first visit on my reflashed evo, so it's not the rom itself... Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Sounds like an issue with your flash player. Try clearing data via settings / application / manage application first. If that doesn't work uninstall it and re-download it from the market.

My alarm clock goes off but no pop up to turn it off. Possible bug? Had to pull the battery
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrubambinoxpr:
mine works just fine.. maybe its just yours..
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrubambinoxpr:
everything is up to date and and i cleaned everything out..

im using default browser.. i didnt use RA to flash it so im wondering if thats what caused it..

i appreciate all the input..

if your flash videos work did you use ra to flash?

Rick,

I deleted the stock messaging app and now i am having issues with any messaging app not working correctly. Can you help me out and post the MMS.apk for the 3.70 build? Or do i have to do something else to fix it? Thanks for the help and love your ROM's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] datdirtyscrew:
If the mms.apk is all you need u can just pull that and any apk related to said ROM within the zip file for that ROM. So if you still have the zip file for the ROM just open it and look under system/app for the mms.apk

Ok, so i've been reading this thread... haven't seen anyone really address my question yet. How is this ROM on battery life? I know it's basically just a stock rom that's enhanced. do those enhancements change the battery usage any at all?

I'm rooting my wifes phone... but she's pretty opposed to relearning things... so i want to flash it with something very close to stock... but The goal is vastly improved battery all the while improving overall performance... in short... have her cake and eat it too :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheNexxuvas:
Running nets latest with this and getting 25% usage per 7-9 hrs. Thats with Juice Defender turning on every 30 minutes to sync all data, weather, emails (multiple across gmail accounts, and EAS, plus tweetdeck sync). That even includes 45 minutes of audio either music wise or podcast wise on inward commute, and another 45 minutes on outward commute (total of 1. hr 30 mins) Moderate sms, a few mms, and even some light web surfing, and usually 30 minutes or so of actual calling.

I go from 100% to 75% in that time frame, give a percent here or there.

If I throw a video podcast (usually 15-30 mins long) you can account for an extra 5-10% shave off of that. So sitting at either 70% or 65% with that coming home at 9 hrs on. I rarely hit 55% to 50% by the time I hit my updates for doggcatcher for my podcasts over wifi at home at around the 12-13th hr of being on.

I do not run the one net has with the battery charger fix because frankly, being a sprint tech I feel it could potentially harm the phone/battery somewhere down the line, so in order to fix having to actually charge my battery on the home charger, I use our cadex machine at work when I need a small boost for going out, but I usually switch between my 2nd battery that sits on an external charger I got on ebay for $5. Best investment ever. I do not get that initial 10% drop from coming off charging thru the port and by the time I hit 90% for real, It's been almost 3-4 hrs with actual use. It really makes the difference.

SO YMMV but so far I'm loving every bit of all this rom and nets newest kernel offers. Hardware 003 with new camera chip here.

Nice ROM Thanks.

only thing if you can fix the camera software it takes blurry pictures.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flipper12:
Hmm... I wonder if that's related to the ROM or inherent with the program provided by HTC (assuming you're using the stock app).

Have you tried downloading another camera app from the market? I have Vignette which I think is pretty good. And honestly, there are A LOT of them on the market that are better than the stock app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] martonikaj:
Thanks OP for a great ROM, exactly what I was looking for.

Installed perfectly through Rom Manager with clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] EZPIMP69:
Does anyone know how to apply black market 2.2.11 to this rom? Been having trouble on this rom but the same zip worked on other roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Ok for the non-chef's out there, can someone explain exactly what some of these non-stock modifications actually do?

Specifically:

I'm guessing from what I can find, that PNGOUT fixes simply shrink the size of the graphics of various apps?

What is Data/App functionality??

Is Nano just a text editor application? (It said nothing was added so kinda confused if this is a command line thing for adb support or what). Same with SYSRO and SYSRW

I'm assuming I'll never need to use BASH, but just wondered what kind of space it took up? If it's minor I could case less.. if it's a decent amount, lets say 4megs or more, I'd like to know how to remove it. (Is it an apk, set of scripts or something else).

Lastly... the Moving of Dalvik to Cache is actually a BAD thing in many cases (at least in my experience).

If your dalvik fills up your cache, or comes close, you will be unable to download apps from the Android market as it uses the /cache folder to temporarily download apps before installing. I had mine moved not to long ago, it took up approx all but 30 megs of my cache, and I could no longer download large apps from the market. If I resized the cache partition larger, or removed dalvik from the cache things worked perfectly.

Can I presume that to remove this from the ROM, I'd just have to remove a script in the init.d folder?

Sorry for the 20 questions, but it seems every ROM out here that has tweaks assumes users have followed the ROM from day 1 and sort of forget us newer folk who aren't able to location the original "Here's what all these things do" threads :)

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIBUBO BCJ:
what about Quadrant Score in this ROM ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sophrosyne:
That ROM looks like exactly what I need. I have a couple questions, though:

What do I need to do before installing that ROM? I know I need to root the EVO. Is that as easy as getting z4root on the SDcard and installing?

Also, the dude recommends using Amon Ra 1.8 to back the phone up. How do I get that? SDcard install or something more complicated?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Moose8106:
If you're using Rom Manager, just scroll all the way down to flash alternate recovery and it will install Amon RA
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sophrosyne:
Is that before or after I root? And I have no idea about the rooting process for EVOs being as how I have a Droid X. Is it as simple as what I posted earlier?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Wow... ok first.. you will want to move over to the DROID forums.. anything you see here in the EVO dev forums will not work for your device, and most likely will cause you all sorts of problems. This ROM in particular is for the HTC Evo, you cannot put it on your device.

This is the forum you want to be looking at

I believe THIS THREAD will explain how to root your device.

After that you are better off asking in the Droid X forums for ROM advice and help.

However in case anyone has an EVO with the same questions...

First to root an EVo you have several alternatives.. the easiest is "Unrevoked" (Google it). It's a program you put on your PC, plug your EVO into, and run.. once complete you're rooted and ready to go.

After that you put ROMS on the root of your SD card (using any way you can imagine), and then enter the Bootloader--> Recovery (Hold power down, while turning on the phone) , flash the ROM and you're off.

Of course there's all sorts of tutorials out there and posts.. I suggest THIS ONE to get you started.
[EVO 4G Android Development] filmaker:
Actually, you were right about the dalvik location thing. I had to reflash because I could no longer download apps that were at least larger than 1mb, because the dalvik had taken up most of the space. I checked in logcat to confirm this, and I was right. I would get a error: not enough space in internal memory (something like that)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cephraim:
I just upgraded my Hero for an EVO.

Was running NfiniteFX's Stock ROM on my Hero.

Is this the closest thing to it for the EVO?

Are people generally happy with this ROM?

What are the remaining issues, if any?

Will the dev keep supporting it when Sprint releases new updates?

Also, does this ROM support Apps2SD? Is it built in, or does it need to be added?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
This is the closest tweeked stock rom yes.

I think the thread speaks for its self!

Not many some people have stated that the Cache to dalvik thing is an issue but i never had a problem just don't go download crazy and you should be fine,

Ricsim is good about updateing with new updates you can also check out his other rom Azrael X its his modded rom and if you have any questions you can ask Rick himself he will help you as much as he can when he can.(remember they do this for fun and have personal lives)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cephraim:
Thanks. Is Apps2SD built-in to this ROM?

If not, can it be added easily?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
ah forgot about that look for Darktremors apps2sd other wise its something that as long as the app supports it in froyo its native
[EVO 4G Android Development] cephraim:
Ha! Forgot it was built in to Froyo! Thanks! Just moved a bunch to SD!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sophrosyne:
Yeah. I have a Droid X, but I am rooting / flashing my friend's EVO 4G. Which is why I am such a noob because it's a totally different process. At least for the rooting.

So I installed Unrevoked3, but I connect the phone to my computer and Unrevoked doesn't find the device. I noticed the phone was set to charge only, though, so do I have to change that? If so, to what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Make sure you have the unrevoked drivers installed and that the phone is on charge only with Ian debugging on

Sent from my EVO at the edge of Hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Ohh lol I thought you were asking about rooting your Droid. Well the evo is probably the easiest device to root these days... and you're 95% of the way there using Unrevoked.

Most likely you don't have the drivers installed that Unrevoked requires... or you installed them overtop of the standard HTC Sync drivers that came with the phone.

Step 1: Go into your control panel on the PC and remove all HTC drivers, any ADB drivers you might see, and anything else you notice related to Android (just to be safe).

Step 2: Reboot the PC (often drivers leave parts around so it's a good practice when replacing drivers)

Step 3: Once back up,install the drivers from the Unrevoked site.. there should be a link in the instructions.

After that just follow the rest of the instructions (which really are pretty simple) and you should be all set.

Your phone simply has to be turned on, in standard charging mode when connected.. but only connect when the Unrevoked app asks you too.

I just rooted a 2nd evo the other day, and it took me all of 5 minutes :) much easier than the crap I went through back in June on my own.

Good luck

Wireless tether issue...

I searched the thread, I looked at all the responses. I was going to do the "android tether" folder, but it was already there on the sd card with the appropriate file inside.

The problem I have is when I start Wireless Tether, the Sprint Hotspot also activates. When it activates, I get a "Data call failure", message 69 something. So I just hit dismiss, whatever. But nothing can connect to my phone with Wireless Tether. I even tried uninstalling the Sprint Hotspot, but no good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sophrosyne:
Successfully rooted the phone. Thank you very much!

Brings up another question, though. =P Someone earlier in the thread said to get Amon Ra 1.8 I could just go into Rom Manager and press "Flash Alternate Recovery," but that didn't work. How might I go about just installing this manually?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
This is not true, not sure why your Logcat said that.

You have (I believe) 120 MB in your Cache space. The Dalvik takes up like 80 MB of that, leaving 40 or so free.

Your apps do NOT go into the cache space, and downloads do not either. I have the Yahoo Messenger Video add on and it takes up a lot of (internal space). It installed without issue, as did Hungry shark, Cardiotrainer, Zenonia 1 and 2, all larger programs that take up at least 10 MB.

The reason why downloads are not working is because ever since Froyo, the android.secure folder gets corrupted on your SD card. I had download issues with the 3.29, 3.30, and newest 3.70 stock ROMS. It could have something to do with the rooting process, I am not sure. But it is not my ROMS.

The simple fix is to wipe the cache, then delete the android.secure folder on your SD card. Reboot your phone, and you should have no problems downloading from the market.

I had an issue where Sky Force would not download from the Market (even thought I bought it and kept retrying the download).

I deleted the android.secure folder from my SD card, cleared the cache, and rebooted. Viola, no more download issues.

Hope this clarifies but it is not the dalvik being in the cache. Your downloads have nothing to do with the cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
In ROM manager, if the selection to flash an alternate recovery is grey...

Use option to install latest Clockwork again first, and then hit "Flash alternate recovery" will work.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sophrosyne:
All right. I'll try that. Thank you. :]

Since I have your attention, though, I was wondering something about your ROM. Does it increase battery life significantly? If not, are there any Kernels or fixes you have for it that will?

[EVO 4G Android Development] jrotert:
Any chance of a version based on the new GB release?, it was by far my favorite ROM...

I second this wholeheartedly. I have been running Turbo 3.70 as daily driver for months and have experienced awesome battery life wit this rom and stock HTC 15 kernel.

Just updated to rooted gb official and battery life sucks compared to rs Turbo. I will let new rom settle couple of days first but if poor batt life persists I may have to go back to Turbo rom until ricsims works his magic with official gb update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrotert:
And yes I've already deleted all the bloatware that came with official gb update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrotert:
Found a better ROM than stock GB Sense update

I flashed Deck GB AOSP ROM 1.0 stable and it works great! Much better (i.e. much faster) than official GB Sense update.

Flashed latest Tiamat Kernel and battery life seems to be comparable with Ricsims 3.70 Turbo w/ HTC 15 kernel. And everything actually works.

Also have it O/Cd to 1152mhz (any higher causes FCs and reboots) w/ Smartass goverenor.

Gonna try this setup for a couple of days before I pass final judgement, but it looks as this will be my DD.

And I can always flash back to RS 3.70 Turbo via Amon Ra if problems appear.

Linpack over 40 and Quadrant in the 1700s.

AOSP all the way!
