I always thought of it as more loquacious than verbose.

Full wipe (including system/boot) reflash and call me in the morning.

P.S. It can take a little while to run the first time. I recommend using the coffee timer. Flash it, go make a cup of coffee, if it us still hung when you get back you know there may be an issue.

Hey on ur a2sd how did u get it to have so much memory?

has anyone had an issue with backing up titanium bluetooth pairings?

i backup and i see my trusted devices .. but the BT devices are not connecting to phone when turned on ...

i restored BT pairings in titanium .. is there something else that also needs to be restored?

Mitch ... thanks for the theme clarification .. i guess i will flash back to default prior to making any color changes .. haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
When you format the SD card for a2sd in Amon Ra (I imagine it is the same for Clockwork), it gives you an option to increase the partition size.

I'm getting this error message after flashing 4.5, i haven't apply any themes or mods as yet.

The Application Lockscreen Setting (process.com.lock.setting) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Do anyone have a solution to resolve this issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Bluetooth pairings are probably one of those things I would just manually redo after a flash. Also, probably not a good idea to be restoring system data from titanium anyway as you may cause issues.

Once I restore the bluetooth setting I always have to manually select the device from the settings menu just once. After that it will connect automaticaly again.

By the way. I am using the new orange theme. I do see that in the gmail program the bar that shows up on the top of the screen ( says 1 message archived) when I archive a message is still green. No biggie, just wanted to point it out.

4.5 is running flawlessly for me.

I tried Blue-MikFroyo-Rosie-4x5 on 4.5 which I love Wiped Delvic & Cache 2 times and had MikFroyo screen for over ten minutes. Finally pulled Battery and had to reflash ROM. I'd wait for Mik! or Char...:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundwavedj:
excellent Rom. Only one issue I know of. (fixed WiFi with full wipe) . There are graphical errors when opening the app drawer. This is after a full wipe also is anyone else getting this
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
The formatting the SD card should be done if you have a card bigger than the stock 8gb right? Like 16gb class 2? The tutorial linked in the first post talks about anything bigger than 8gb stock card but your seems to suggest for class 6 and above cards...
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
This is for the themes but not the rotary theme right? Because those are set for 4.2 and above and were built outside of Mikfroyo specific themes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
I would leave MikFroYo alone if you have anything less than a class 4 card. My personal opinion, but I did run a ext3 on my class 2 card. Your internal memory is faster than class 4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
Let me ask another way. Can anyone setup lockscreen gestures using the lockscreen app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
Okay, but having formatted before installing 4.5: flashing 4.5 will not create another ext3 partition right? or will it overwrite the ext3 that I created (I created a bigger partition)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
The problem with running an ext3 on a class2 card is that the card cannot keep up with communications from the phone resulting in FC's and other generally hinky behavior.

BTW, you can get a class 10 16gb card from NewEgg for like $50 now. Why struggle with a class 2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] globen:
Are you running the dalvik cache from sd? If not type "su" "cache2sd", in terminal emulator. Once I did that it, I gained another 50mb.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
He was just answering a question I posed. But in terms of still using a class 2, is because I really dont think the speed will make that much of a difference. especially with the SD card speed hack. Also I'm waiting for the 32gb class 2 to come down to about $50. I would rather have a bigger card, albeit maybe a little bit slower, than another 16gb card.

QUICK TIP OFF THE DAY:

1) Don't eat the shrimp.

2) For those of you who are finding your siggy's reaching their 1000 character limits, remember TinyURL. Just take your LOOOONG web addresses, enter them into the text box on that website and it will generate a new super-short url. This will allow you to add more of your brilliance to your siggy.

** P.S., If you REALLY want to save space, go to the "My Setup" thread and follow the instructions in the OP there.

Error Message

Can someone please answer this for me???????
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
Quick question guys:

Sorry if this has been answered before but a search didnt turn anything up.

The instructions for setting up a2sd states:

When using MikFroyo and an ext3, you simply need to install your apps and the ones that will function from SD will be placed there automatically. You do not have to do anything else to achieve this functionality.

I just flashed 4.5 and restored apps via titanium backup. I see that several apps did automatically get placed on the newly created SD partition, but I noticed that about 90% of apps didnt get placed on the SD card. The 90% of apps I am talking about could be placed on the SD card via the market app apps2sd. Is it because I am restoring from titanium that 90% of the apps arent being placed on the SD card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] boosted98taco:
I tried as well, wasn't able to.. Says "No Gestures", not sure why though yet..
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
First of all, create a signature with your setup so we know what we are dealing with.

Second, no, that should not happen. How much space has been used on your ext3? How much space is left in Internal Memory?

Yes, you can run Darktremor Apps2SD and Froyo Apps2SD concurrently; however, the apps will be sent to different places. DT sends them to ext3 and Froyo sends them to .android_secure folder. DT is automated and Froyo is not.

Run

su
a2sd check

in terminal and tell me where your Dalvik is located and if it says you running apps from SD ext3 or not.

Also consider this:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
For those running ext3 setups, I have noticed that running:

su
a2sd reinstall

did seem to make my phone run a little quicker and more smoothly. Could be that it is just refreshing the symlinks that may have been imperfectly created during first restore.

Doesn't seem to hurt anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nygel:
im going to run a non a2sd rom this time, I am ordering a new sd card cause my class 4, 8gb is extremely suspect. The speed suck and it is really close to my class 2, 8gb.

So I will be ordering a class 10-16gb. For all other members who wants to know how to go back "just reformat your card"

Can't boot into recovery

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the community here. This is the reason I switched. Just flashed the ROM and got everything the way I wanted it. I try to boot into recovery to remove some Sense and the phone is stuck at the Evo splash screen. The longest I'v waited was 10 mins. Is there anything I can do? I would say flash the ROM again if I could get into recovery.

It doesn't work if I'm rebooting from software or removing battery and holding power/volume button. it takes me to the white screen where I can choose to boot but I hangs up after the vibrate/splash screen again.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I noticed this happened soon after I restored from TB. I tried reflashing the recoveries (both CW and AmonRa) to no avail.

Ok I love this rom BUT I have no phone icon can't locate it nothing wtf

[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
Ok so I had this weird problem where no matter what I wiped (i'm talking about EVERY option on the recovery wipe menu except sdcard including using the format all script) I could not install MikFroyo (it would just hang at the MF animated boot up animation, and I waited at least 20min and once over an hour). I could install any other ROM just fine and nothing (pulling batteries, flashing multiple themes to get a donkey wallpaper...etc... would work). So I started going back to some of the other cards and I could get MF working fine but then on one of those other cards that had worked fine I ran into the same issue.

So I started paying attention. My process was to SDFormat the cards, partition it and then run through mitchellvii's "How to flash 4.5" guide and them copy over the files, install MikFroyo 4.5 RC as my testbed, run benches then try 2 other ROMs for comparison, etc.... So I SDFormatted all the cards and ran through the whole process 3+ times for all 7 cards. I then noticed something weird, every now and then after I formatted the card and went to partition it the partition process would go by pretty quickly. It still looked like it worked fine but it just completed faster. It was after these "quick partitions" that I would have issues. Most of the time I was able to flash MF (but not always, sometimes it was horked from the get go) but that was it. Once I flashed MF I would start to see instabilities (random FC's, increased battery drain, overall speed of ROM slowing down significantly, etc...). If I went to install any other ROM I mostly could, but if I tried to install MF (from nandroid or fresh wipe and flash) it would just hang.

My next step was to replace MF with another ROM so see if it was something with the weird partition and MF. This took awhile since the slow partition is inconsistent as to when it happens but eventually I got the same behavior with two other ROMs. The only thing that would clear this would be to format using SDFormat and then have a regular duration re-partition. I could then flash away to my hearts content.

I was going to try flashing a non beta recovery and see if the issue goes away but it was really late last night, my Steelers lost and I needed to get a few hours of sleep before I got up for work.

internal memory 448 mb 359 mb free

Dalvik is running from /cache partitions.

I tried the command /system/bin/a2sd reinstall

Bunch of stuff came on terminal then the phone rebooted. But 90% of apps (that previously were transferred to the SD card via apps2sd on market) are still on the phone memory.

Sorry I am in the process of creating a sig, I was flashing 4.5 so I erased everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
That's really weird. You were coming from CM7, did you restore system data? That will fubar the phone on a Sense rom if your system data was backed up while on an AOSP rom.

Are you using Sense or LP/ADW?

internal memory 448 mb 359 mb free

SD card(a2sd) 839 MB 713 mb free

I am looking at it via uninstaller and only two apps show up as on the SD card: opentable and angry bird. Unless I'm being retarded and this means taht it is running on froyo a2sd, shouldnt all the other apps show that it is running on SD as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
No, you are being retarded. :)

If you have 359 mb left on internal memory, there is no way that 90% of your apps are on internal memory.

Your uninstaller program is looking at your either your FAT32 partition or your .android_secure folder, it is not looking at your ext3 when it tells you which programs are running from SD. What Darktremor Apps2SD does is fool your phone into thinking the apps on ext3 are actually still on internal memory by creating symlinks to them. Apparently, your uninstaller fell for the trick.

Don't worry about it, you are good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
ROFFL the only time I wasn't offended somebody called me retarded and I actually chuckled... :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] strongsteve:
I can confirm this
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
The tutorial did include that info. It was under: "follow these instructions and it will work". :)

The problem people run into is when they use tools designed for Froyo-style Apps2SD to evaluate the status of their Darktremor-style Apps2SD.

Nice rom, quicker than 4.4. Having problems flashing rosies and 4.5 workspaces. On 4.5 workspace the rosie goes clear. Flashing any of chogardjrs rosies causes bootloops. Believe it has to do with moving off the rosie in 4.5. Just have to be patient and wait for options. Nandroided back to 4.4 since I loved my setup and cant get it yet on 4.5

[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
Don't use the built in alarm clock (it looks like a black circle clock in your app drawer). Use the other white faced squared off clock to set up your alarms. It won't have the fancy "Swipe Down to Turn Off Alarm" function, but at least you won't have to pull the battery!

Give it a try and hopefully this works for you.

[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Thank you for the help.

All I know is I noticed my apps were not moving to the SD Card.

So for the heck of it, I used the zip of moving dalvik cache to sd card. I did it and rebooted and my internal memory jumped from the 298-300 MB up to 350-360 MB.

First time running MikFroyo Rom and so far love it. Just a couple of questions.

3. What about SetCPU? Should I run it or not?

Thanks.

He's right... It's cause your stock lockscreen (the one that sense uses to silence the alarm) got removed cause your using a different lockscreen...

[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
You need to turn off "signature authentication" or whatever the hell it is called before flashing something from teh zip. On Amon Ra it is right below flash zip from SD option.

Also I think with most themes, most are saying until 4.5 specific themes are made.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
That is because you probably ran the nocache command previously which placed your dalvik back in your internal /data partition rather than on your /cache partition. By moving it to sd, you cleared out the space on your /data partition being used by your dalvik.

The problem is that since you are now running your dalvik and apps from sd, your internal /data memory is basically useless and its the fastest memory you have. You are better off going nocache and putting dalvik back on /data and leaving apps on sd.

This is all clearly explained in my tutorial which apparently no one takes the time to read anymore.

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
What do you mean by aborting?

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I did do the /nocache command because it says if you have an ext3 setup, the guide recommends moving Dalvik back.

I am gonna do a total wipe right now before work and attempt to do this again.

I have an oem sd card and it says that my dalvik should be on /cache partition which will free up space on the internal memory.

Will give this a shot now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rao740:
I have been using clockwork forever and have never had any issues. I boot into recovery, install from sd card, select the zip file, it starts, then says action aborted. I am not sure why it aborts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
First of all, if you have an OEM card why are you running an ext3 at all? The tutorial CLEARLY advises against that. You should be just running MikFroyo AS IS and not messing with the dalvik at all. It is on /cache by default leaving you the most possible room on internal memory for your apps.

There is no need to wipe everything.

Just type:

su

a2sd cachepart

Then

su

a2sd remove

It will reboot between each step. That will put your dalvik back on /cache and your apps back in internal memory (which is where they belong if you have an oem card).

Please listen … Follow mitchellvii’s tutorial to the letter and you will be good to go.

You can have your cache on the sd card with apps on internal

Or you can have your cache internal with apps on sd card

If you have both on the sd card you have bypassed your internal memory and slowed down your phone. Internal memory is the fastest you have … Stop looking at how much room you have on internal memory.

No, no, I've got it!!! A capture page that when they click on the download link they have to click an "acknowledge" button that they have thouroughly read all of the OPs COMPLETELY, and by downloading new rom they acknowledge that fact and waive the right to ask questions that are already answered in the OP and its related links.
