That is perfectly acceptable setup (LP and w/out removing Sense). In fact, some of us had been running LP w/ Sense removed but it appears that doing so may in fact slow some processes down.

Use Launcher Pro (buy the Plus version, you'll get some pretty decent Sense like widgets) and do not remove sense.

Couple more noob questions. I have read the last 100 pages of the thread or so (disclaimer to prevent flaming). I don't typically use apps2sd that much but I'm going to flash MikFroyo 4.5 beta5 should I format card with ext3? Is the beta good to flash or should I start with 4.4?

Thanks for the help.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
The beta is good to flash, and you don't have to partition your card unless you want to use a2sd. But if you do then yes, ext3.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Not normal....probably killing your battery too! By the way, I deleted friend stream, twitter, etc and haven't had that problem, if that helps.

On the apps2sd subject, has anyone had experience with Dconfig? It seems to do everything for you to place all your apps on a separate partition of the SD card without formatting it....just wondering if there is any issues with it. I'm trying it out now with no known issues at the moment.

Deleting Peep will do this to you too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Yeah. This seems to be caused by deleting friendstream and how you are logged in to your accounts. I think the fix was to logout of your accounts (FB/twitter) and then delete friendstream, then log back in. It something like that ...

I think its continually syncing because Facebook is trying to update live feeds or something.

I've had this happen to me, and I fixed it.

Let me know if I can help you in any way

One thing that worked for me instead of deleting them is go into titanium and freeze them...

[EVO 4G Android Development] NiMiNuM:
I used mitchell's guide to set up apps2sd and it worked great, one question though. If I want to make my ext partition larger than 512mb, do I have to do the whole process again? I have a 32gig card and was thinking I should of made it bigger.

I have my VMHeap set at 48 currently and find it quite snappy. I read that VMHeap is best at 48 if you have JIT activated. JIT is activated by default in MikFroyo.

You can adjust VMHeap in as2d as follows:

adb:

adb shell
a2sd heapsize48

terminal:

su
a2sd heapsize48
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
It may be - I am researching this and will let you know. However, honestly, 512mb should be plenty.

I've been running LP and have removed Sense and haven't had any issues at all, so curious why all the sudden I'm seeing people saying not to do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jocampo86:
Yes I deleted friendstream,peep,because I don't use it ,u guys think restoring them will help?but I really don't want to I don't use them...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
That whole discussion is in a state of flux. Some people upon removing sense have experienced random instability in their phones. We are not sure the sense removal is causing this; however, after foregoing the removal some have had better stability. Whether there is a causal relationship isn't proven but implied.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It's not on mine either and I rarely use wireless tether or the hotspot. Maybe mine does't work either. Checking now.....

Edit: Built-in hotspot seems to give me only limited connectivity but the wireless tether app works fine. In case it matters (probably does), I use wired tether consistently and it works, but only on 4g for some reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I don't use any of them either, but didn't want the issues that came with deleting them... So in my opinion I would restore them and if you have titanium back up (if not I'd get it) and then you can just freeze it, then it doesn't show up in the app drawer, doesn't take up CPU running, doesn't take up battery, its only in titanium... That's what I do and it works great...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
I have found as long as you don't have htc fb syncing live feeds you should be able to delete friendstream. If you deleted with tb I don't know if you will be able to restore as it is a system app so you may need a reflash our find the app to install with root explorer

[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I don't know how to in my backup but if you still have titanium just go into the backup/restore section and click the apps you want and select freeze... You don't have to use it to back up as well.. Just click freeze and have a good day without stuff you don't use killing battery and processor ;-)

I am Issues :-)

First of all, This is one of the best ROMs I have installed everything down to the Thank you when you finish the install. Very well done.

Now that Im done sucking up I have run into a little snag that I have had with other roms but have not figured out how to fix it.

After flashing "Move Dalvik Cache to Cache partition" found on page :1 and running it in spare parts. When ever I reboot my phone I get this Force Close of "Worldclock" Attached a screen shot. After about 5 times it finally stops showing up.

I can get into the logs and paste up any info needed.

I just have no idea how to trouble shoot this.

Help me?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
There are a couple of changes that have been made in the latest Beta.

Darktremor Apps2SD (a2sd) runs on this rom by default. Also, your Dalvik Cache is on your /cache partition by default. You don't need to flash a zip to move it. Also, do not try and control it from Spare Parts.

Read the Apps2SD Tutorial linked to in my signature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
Ok this is not ROM related but I have yet to find a working answer to this so I was hoping someone here knew how to do this properly.

I want to use some pictures as my wallpaper but I do NOT want them scrolling across multiple desktops. I just want a static picture that shows the complete picture. I've tried various solutions that call for various screen resolutions, wallpaper set and save, etc... but nothing works (picture is still stretched across multiple homepages even though I've set the WP to not scroll etc...

Whoever can get a working solution for me will have my unending gratitude!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Becoming:
If you use Launcher Pro, I believe it has an option for static wallpaper.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from Market
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Prevent Wallpaper from Scrolling:

Menu>ADW Settings>General Behavior>Animation and Effects>Wallpaper Scrolling (uncheck)

Put Individual Wallpaper on Each Screen (i.e., no image stretching):

Multipicture Live Wallpaper (find it in the market) - after installing this, select Menu>Wallpapers>Live Wallpapers>Multipicture Live Wallpaper to configure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
You would THINK this would work but that's my default (unchecking this) and I STILL lose the left/right sides of my pics. I hate to run another app just for this but I'll give that a whirl.

Just confirmed that LP does the same thing, you can disable the picture from scrolling but it is still cropped on the sides.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, if you didn't lose the left and right portions of you image, the image would be distorted as it tries to squeeze it all onto one screen. The app mentioned simply truncates the left and right side of your image and allow you to have different backgrounds on different screens. I believe the app allows you to put the entire picture on one screen but it is either distorted or has black bands across the top and bottom - cannot recall.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
Multipicture Live Wallpaper did the trick where wallpaper set and save did not. Thing is this app now shows me the complete picture at the correct resolution/ratio (by default it was looking like it was "zoomed" in). I should say the amount of the picture that the crop tool would expand to. Before i would have to crop the picture and it would expand that cropped area across multiple desktops.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
Ok another funky thing that I noticed is that when you screen times out and you have to unlock it the animation that brings you to your home screen will do a zoom like action and for a fraction of a second it looks like it's doing extreme zoom in on what looks like text. After looking at this really closely what is happening is that you are being flashed a very zoomed in look at the notification drop down text. It goes by so fast you don't actually see the notification drop down or anything like that.

Anyone else getting this?

Linux Swap File:

http://www.linfo.org/swap_space.html

ext3 Partition:

Android will not allow you to have apps on a FAT32 partition, which is what a non-partitioned SDCard is. With the introduction of Froyo, Android provided a special folder on your SDCard called "android_secure" where you could store your apps on your SDCard. Other programs, like Darktremor Apps2SD (that MikFroyo uses), create an ext3 partition that stores your apps instead.

The benefit of creating an ext3 is that Darktremor Apps2SD automates the movement of apps to your SDCard, whereas using the Froyo method, you have to physically move them. Also, the Froyo method does not support non-Froyo apps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Lurkerdownbelow:
So it's creating a single swap partition of type ext3 that is sized 512 MB? I guess I dont understand what the 32 is for in "(when it asks you for Swap Size, enter 32 - for Partiton Size, enter 512)"

Is the rest of the card space not a ext3 then? Sounds like the a2sd would get confused on where to put stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] klymptof:
Check out MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. Use images that are 480x800. Enjoy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ooxteme:
SetCPU lets you under/overclock your cpu. I use it and have 2 profiles one for the phone awake and then one for when its asleep(lower mhz)

Juice defender has profiles also but it mainly just shuts down the data for the phone when not in use

Some say no need for setCPU and some say they use it. Its really all what works best for your setup on your phone. Wont hurt to try one then the other for a couple days and see which is better. Alot of times what works great for phone A wont be so for phone B.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eejayyeahuuh:
Any reason the mail widget gives me the "home screen is full" message when I try to put the widget on an empty screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
The good part is you don't have to understand it for it to work:

SDCard - where all your data goes.

ext3 - where your apps go.

swap partition - where you swap file goes.

Don't worry about Apps2SD getting confused.

If you have a 16 gb SDCard, set up a 1024 mb ext3 and 64 mb swap.

If you have an 8gb SDCard, set up a 512 mb ext3 and 32mb swap.

Just follow the directions in my tutorial word for word and it will work.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vopwriter:
Try going into settings, applications, all applications and scroll down to htc sense. Select that and then scroll down to where it says it's the default and take it off default launcher. When you back out you should get a chance to select launcher pro a your default again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Probably not. Just run MikFroyo stock and don't worry about Apps2SD. Your dalvik will run from you /cache partition leaving lots of room on your /data partition for apps.

If you still need more room, you can use the Froyo method for sending apps to the android_secure file on your SDCard. However, running any apps from your SDCard with a Class 2 Card can result in FC's and generally poor performance.

I just had a similar issue. Grab Rom Manager from the market. In the App flash ClockWorkMod and then flash alternate recovery to easily get Amon Ra as your recovery. Then go re-download MikFroyo and copy it to your SD card again. Boot into your recovery and do a full wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik then repeat. Next flash the ROM and then reboot. Set up your google acct.

If you decide to use an alternate kernel boot into recovery and clear cache/dalvik again, then flash the new kernel.

These were the steps suggested to me and got me back to normal battery life.
