+1 on this issue Mitch...I have noticed strange "toggle" of a2sd being "happy" with my cachesd setup ever since the apps2sd versions came out. Usually see it after flashing a mod or theme. I know we talked once about how clearing the cache/dalvik could screw with the settings once didn't we?

I can usually tell by my reboot time where it is running from, so if boot takes more than 1 minute I know to "adsd check" and then "a2sd repair" as soon as it gets done booting.

**I could post a question about this behavior in the DarkTremor thread but it is pretty dead in terms of getting any responses,,,not like here:)

Which rom? What do you mean by not working? Help us out? 4.4 and 4.5 work fine here.

I believe that is part of the Android SMS bug. Google is aware of it,and is supposedly fixing it. I Know the Nexus S just got a update last week to address it. From what I read, it wasn't just an easy fix, but they had to rewrite the entire sms.apk to fix it...

You can still have mini theme. You just have to push the htclockscreen.apk from the removed apps folder back to the system/app. Then your good

Not sure if its just me but I just tried using the music controls on the new lock screen in 4.5 beta 2 and they don't seem to work at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Yes, have gone through all the standard girations. Another odd thing is that my SDCard keeps mounting as "Hard Disk" whenever I plug in my usb even though I have it specified to be "Charge Only".

I am thinking that perhaps these errors are related in some way to the SD Card Speed Fix scripts we are using, but I'm only guessing at that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
When we were all testing Ziggy's kernals the other night, that is the only time I have seen my phone continuously pop up the connection screen and it was only with his kernal. Since switching back to Net, I haven't seen it again. I tell the phone how I want to connect, and its done.

I am using the SD card fix, but I used the old method, not the zip (using the adb commands to push his file to my phone). Are you using Caulk's zip or the original 1 posted in the thread? Your usb port could be on the brink, and possibly when connecting the phone to the computer, something could be going haywire while reading/writing.

Is there a fix for this bug yet? Having the same problem...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
sd card speedfix stays after new kernel and reboots

This brings to mind this pleasant surprise I discovered. I know aamikam said that with BetaII he implemented his sdcard speed fix via "kernel" and not with a script. Well, after getting 4.5 betaII setup like I like it (i.e. htclockscreen>Koni Minimalistic Theme flashed) and after several reboots using the supplied HTC kernel in betaII my Quadrant scores were nothing to write home about (mid 1200s). So I thought I would flash back to Netarchy kernel in my siggy, expecting to have to redo the sd speed fix each time I rebooted. But, however aamikam is doing it, the speed fix stays after rebooting with Netarchy kernel. Now my Quadrant scores are always at the top of the results page!! Woot!!!:D

**as a side note..I have never used any of the speed fix zips, I have always just done a manual edit of the file before
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Just FYI, I went to the htclockscreen so I could run Minimalistic theme, and I just tested the alarm with my phone in lockdown mode. Alarm went off and I could "Snooze" it with the lockscreen when it poped up! So I am thinking the alarm issue you guys see is related to the Vanilla lockscreen.

@Mik: I'm about to downgrade my Hboot from .97 to .76. I read that I may need to reflash the kernel. I'm currently using the stock HTC #15 and your 4.2 ROM.

Was any part of the kernel optimized? If so, will you please package up a .zip for your 4.2-based HTC #15 kernel?

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
I know i can, but being as this is a beta, i don't wanna mess with much....

i messed up on the install, sorta, forgot to wipe data before i flashed it, no problems as of yet but we will see if anything pops up....flashed calks remove sense, and net's 4.3.1 cfs-nohavs-nosbc and everything i do normally is running like a champ!!

looking forward to giving this full treatment throughout the day! thanks again mik!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I would like to clarify something about tethering. I see that some users think you can't use the built in Hotspot and Wired Tether. This is WRONG!

I have been using both the Hotspot and Wired Tether alternately without a problem. I believe the reason Amikam added the libnativetask.so file originally was because some users were having issues with the Hotspot. But if I'm mistaken, he took it out again in version 4.5. So now they should both work fine.

I tend to believe that the reason why the Hotspot wasn't working for some is simply user error. There are many things that can cause it not to work.

For example, one thing I noticed was that Wireless Tether DOES conflict with the Hotspot. If you used Wireless Tether and want to use the Hotspot now, I recommend wiping data and cache of the Wireless Tether app, force close it and reboot.

Bottom line is - you CAN use the Hotspot and Wired Tether alternately. And Wired Tether DOES support the 4G speeds!

If I'm right it will work with both because it will include the htclockscreen.apk so it should work for both. I am still opti-ing the hell out of it so it maintains amikam's Rom speed. It will be full color and will be awesome. I'll put more screenshots later today for you guys.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
4.5 includes the SDCard Speed Hack script already in it. You shouldn't have to do any additional flashes. You can run this code to check yours:

adb shell cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

If it says "128" you're all set.

Just to let you all know more about ziggy kernel. I have been trouble free for two days straight. Downgraded pri to 1.77 and use OS monitor to set on boot 245-998 conservative. I think it has to do with wiping cache, dalvik and battery stats AFTER flashing the kernel. I have overclocked it to 1152 with no ill effects. Just FYI you ya guys.

That's his latest release of 012111 no havs.

The point of adding images as attachments is for them not to come up in the body of your message.

[EVO 4G Android Development] iTouch24:
Thanks for the clarification. So I guess I will use hotspot as my daily method and the times I need faster speeds for download (4g) then I will have to plug in device and use wired tether. I know I tried to launch wired tether running 4. 4 and received a force closure. I will have to do that ADB command posted earlier I guess.

Dalvic cache not "sticking"

Since flashing 4.5, my Dalvic cache has been reverting back to running from /cache even after setting it to run off of SD with a2sd cachesd command. It will appear to "stick" sometimes, but will always revert back to /cache. Sometimes a2sd check will report a repair is needed, which I run, but it does not help. Tried all combinations of wipes, sd reformats, reflash, etc. with the same results. Never had any problems with 4.4. and after reverting back to it all is normal again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
run it 2 times.

it sticks.

a2sd cachesd i mean.

im not sure why u need to run it twice... but i guess since its on the cache partition it needs to move to device storange and then it can move to sd.

again... im not the expert here... but i have it working.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Mitch, please let us know how your experiments come out..I have been wondering the same thing myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Don't use Metamorph Themes with MikFroyo. It may over-write many of his optimizations and lose speed as a result. Only use themes that state that they are made for MikeFroyo specifically.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RussGJohnson:
Thanks for the help guys. I tried numerous times, multiple ways to no avail. What's weird is after I wiped, partitioned the sd card WITHOUT ext3, wiped all again, and reflashed 4.5, a2sd check was still showing ext3 present. Finally got frustrated and just reverted back to 4.4 as it was running superb. Maybe my SD card is borked from all the flashing and partitioning?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Look online and download a program called SDFormatter V3.0.0.0. Next time you format your SDCard, use that and it will scrub away any old ext's you may have.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I know several of us have seen this issue, SpareParts and Titanium Backup show a 350MB "ext3" partition even after we reformatted to only all Fat32 configuration. I'm not sure exactly of the cause, I suspect its a function of the a2sd DarkTremor script but haven't been able to confirm.

mitchellvii, you know more about apps2sd than I do (hell, he wrote the excellent tutorial here after all!) and I noticed you have been looking into this on some other threads as well. Do you have anymore info on this phenomenon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RussGJohnson:
You the man! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
I use metamorph themes with swype and it doesn't doesn't slow it down at all. Read through leukays swypehd thread or pm him and he will help out. Like mik he's a very approachable dev.

It only replaces files inside libswypecore and swype.apk

They are on the op Mitch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I probably should not have drawn such a wide generality. Depends on the theme but some metamorphs can change a lot you don't want changed. Some are very minimal and change only the key files.

But overall, you are best relying only on themes written for MikFroyo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nygel:
that has been there since day one, the vanilla lock screen does not sync with the HTC alarm program, thats why it has its own alarm program bulit in, I believe it has 2 alarm points

For staters I would like to thank you for all the work you have done with rom. I have a question. I came to this rom from Azreal. 3.0 and love it. I was having issues with his rom and android tethering but didn't know if it was the rom or some other issue as it just stopped working one day

Anyway one this I really loved about that rom was the 400+mb that was available after a clean install. How much is on this one as I don't see it listed. Guess I'm asking since with his I had just ove 200mb free with all my crap installed. On this one I have 120 with the same . Did he just optimize more so and if so would it be possible to request something like that in say 4.5?

I really have no plans to use anything else rom wise as I'm not a constant flasher but this rom just plain works. And I mean everything

And nope my haptic is working as it should

Check all your settings for it including spare parts. If that fails then only suggestion would be flash mikfroyo again. If that doesn't work your vibrator might have bit the dust.

[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Just a FYI for all, you can flash over your current setup only wiping cache and dalvik to not have to restore all apps and home screens. But I would suggest getting titanium pro or something else that will do batch restores. 4 hours is a long time to restore everything.
