I'll second the 'power supply' suggestion.. I spent weeks debugging an old PC last year, reinstalling windows, swapping out parts until nothing was left as the cause except the powersupply. I was getting everything from Blue Screens, boot loops, sudden black screens and rebooting (somehow bypassed the blue screen), all sorts of crazy issues. Tried a PS from another PC, and everything went away.. kinda shocked me, as I tend to think of PS's as either on or off... many new PC parts are much more sensitive to power fluctuations or being underpowered it seems.

On a semi-related ROM note... has anyone seen a good "Android Phone Emulator" application for Windows? I used to have one for my old Palm that I could test out new apps on and things, and I thought "Ohh I'd love to be able to check new ROMs and stuff directly on my PC."

I did see THIS but it appears to be more or an "Android" emulator, instead a specific phone emulator. I want to basically duplicate my EVO on the PC. (Or maybe it can do so but I've not figured out how yet). Since each phone's hardware acts different, testing ROMs on a non-specific phone emulator is kind of pointless.

Wow I take a couple days off from mikfroyo to root my nook color and I'm like 30 pages behind. Btw rooting and or running froyo/honeycomb from sd is super easy.getting adb to recognize device was only issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yes and a power supply is pretty cheap. You can actually test it without buying a new one or using different good one. You need a multimeter to do it. Just Google testing power supply. I'd get you a link but I'm on my phone and in crappy service area.

Hey everyone I have a question. When I turn 4g on, through the "settings" menu, it turns on but then quickly cycles through and goes back off. Is this normal?

I know when I used Myns rom, I turn 4g on and then I get a 4g icon in the taskbar that states 4g antenna on and it then scans for 4g.

I also used Fresh rom and the same thing happened, I turn 4g on, it cycles through then goes right back off

So like I said earlier, im just wondering if this is normal or not. And if its not, is there a fix for this issue. My evo is the 003 model with the 004 model camera
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karl_in_Chicago:
Yes, there's a problem with the Cougar Point chipset and its support for SATA. You *might* see shipments trickle out in mid-March but there will likely be a supply/demand mismatch that will keep the prices high until full volume ramps up in April. If/when you do actually get a new Sandy Bridge mobo make sure it's NOT a B2 stepping - in case some unscrupulous supplier held on to a recalled item and then sold it (unlikely, but it's always better to verify then trust I say).

Sorry you comp went belly up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karl_in_Chicago:
Even more direct is to use the "site:" feature in Google search, where your search would look like:

"mikfroyo v4.5" <other> <search> <arguments> site:xdaforums.com

That way Google *only* searches on results it has from the xda forum. Of course this works for any site; when I want to find info on Chicago restaurants, for example, I use an argument like:

"sun wah" site:lthforum.com

(lthforum is a local foodie website, btw, not some secret code :) )

[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
Battery will depend on a lot of different things so the more we know about your setup the better we can assist you.

It is best to give it a couple of charge cycles to any kernel you use (including stock with ROM) before you absolutely say "this kernel is not working on my phone time to try a different one".

I use a set CPU profile of screen off 245/245 priority 100% that is all I use set CPU for on mine. Your Mileage May Vary

Try a sbc kernal. Yes there can be a chance you fry your battery (supposedly) but I havent had any problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
I would stay stock for a couple of charge cycles. And let everything settle in. Then if not happy I would try one of the netarchy kernals. Seems like every phone likes a different one.

I'm so pissed right now! I love this rom but it screws up everyday,one minute the market is ok next minute its not seeing anything I've got, then when I try to download something it never lets me.

I don't know what's going with this rom I'd love to stay with it but I've got no choice. Ive tried to get help and look for what's causing this but i can't figure it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I know the market has been having problematic cause they just made it to where you can view on a PC... So theyve been messing with a bunch of stuff so that might be that.. As far as not seeing what you've download, menu/settings/manage apps/ market - clear data - force stop... Then Google services framework... Clear data force stop... Reboot... That's what worked for me

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I read posts like this and I just scratch my head.

I am running MikFroyo 4.5 Final and it is flawless. Never a hiccup, never a problem. My only conclusion is that this must be user error. There is something in your process where you are making a mistake. Either that or your hardware is defective.

With regards to the Market Issues, we solved that problem

HERE

.

Also, when flashing 4.5, do it EXACTLY as described in my signature.

Let me reiterate.

There is NOTHING wrong with this rom.

If you are having all these problems, you are doing something wrong.

COUPLE THINGS TO CHECK:

Make sure you are running a Sense-compatible kernel.

Ziggy's kernels have not worked well with MikFroyo for many people.

When you do your restore, do NOT restore SYSTEM DATA (especially if coming from an AOSP rom).

Use Amon Ra's latest recovery.

When wiping, wipe EVERYTHING except SDCard (including SYSTEM and BOOT).

When wiping do not use Calk's format_all.zip. Many users have experienced problems after doing that. I do not know why.

If you have mounted your SDCard from within the rom, always unmount it before unplugging or turning off your phone.

Do NOT restore a nandroid from another rom or prior MikFroyo version.

Only flash themes that are made to work with MikFroyo 4.4 or above.

If you get stuck in a boot loop, pull the battery and reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Do you have any suggestions on my lockscreen issues? I even just flashed Chogards rotary framework then deleted htclockscreen.apk and it still isn't working... And that would be like the 8th time I've deleted it

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
A little OT but I could not respond to your PM as it said you had them turned off.

I also felt this was a good example of how to use xda system see folks PMing does not hurt or get you flamed. I was happy to answer the questions.

Hboot is what the phone had on it since I got it.

My phone does not like PRI 1.90 if it works for you no need to change it.

Amon RA 2.3 works great for me...it does load a little slow and there is a grapics glitch when exiting it but it does not effect the backups v2.3 backs up faster.

I bought it from newegg so I know what class from the specs.

But you can find it listed on your card..will probably requires a magnifying glass to see it.

Hope this helps :)

I don't get involved with all that lockscreen business. I like the old lockscreen that Myn used and I just grabbed the lockscreen png's from his com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-hdpi file, replaced the one's in MikFroyo 4.5 and pushed the com.htc.resources.apk back to the /system/framework using adb.

The result is attached:

I don't know why it is not working. Thought I saw you post that you deleted it and it would not go away? Maybe just try renaming it to .bak....I have seen several post where that worked for folks when deleting it did not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Just refkash the rom dude. Wipe cache and dalvik first. Don't need full wipe.

Plus, the Metamorph lockscreens Mik has in the OP work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
And i don't ever mess with it either... I just don't understand how I delete it and get Chogards lockscreen... And now today it won't delete!! That's my main problem here, I can figure everything else out, what would cause root explorer to either not delete something, or what would case it to keep coming back? Like k said its been deleted over 10 times now... I just don't get it...

Edit: Rename didn't work either...

This was after deleteing it 12 times now and renaming it twice... With a hot restart after each

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
OK, guys. If you're having problems, follow Mitch's guide to the t. I did, and my problems have been minimal, other than a few tiny glitches. I wiped system and boot along with data, cache, and dalvik when I updated to 4.5. Wanted to make sure I was thorough, even though I don't always know EXACTLY what Amon Ra is doing.

One glitch I found was when I restored with TB, I had a double overlay of all icons. I didn't see it at first, because it was like a carbon copy. I only saw one of each icon initially. It was REALLY weird. If I'd move an app on one of my homescreens, there would still be one in the original location. Once I deleted one of them, it was fine.

Another glitch I'm STILL having is that EStrong's will say SD card unmounted after I flash anything else from recovery (I believe that's what triggers it, but I'm still working on it), even though music players, etc. will read the card fine. I read about this problem here before, and the solution was to uninstall and reinstall ES File Explorer. I did that, and then it's fine again until I flash something else from recovery. Not that big a deal, but annoying nonetheless.

Overall, this ROM is great, but if you're having problems, back up, re-wipe and start over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wfee:
Thanks for the info but that's just it I've done exactly what it said to do. I've been using it for a wk. When I try to do a reboot it sticks on flash screen. Same kernal that comes with 4.5 is what I'm using. I'm not saying its the rom I'm saying i don't know why the crap after using the rom for days and all the sudden it wont show my apps. And when i do a reboot it locks up. I pull battery and try again and still stuck! I like the rom and want to use it. I'm not knocking it in any way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
What type of SDCard do you have? Are you running an ext3? What do you use to restore? Do you have Titanium? How much space is left on your /data partition?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
Try a full reboot instead of a hot restart ? Just throwing out ideas.

Maybe your phone does not like Texas ;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Just wipe cache and dalvik in recovery and reflash the rom. You will have original lockscreen back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
defaults should be ok since you are not running ext3. I would suggest a backup of your Wimax if you don't already have one.

Hey buddy just finished catching up on pages of posts. If you want to flash and get the rotary back you have to flash rotary 012811 first. That will delete the lockscreen. If you want the original lockscreen flash MikFroyo over the too because non of my themes have the lockscreen in it. Rotary will only delete it for you. But I take you want to get the rotary, then flash the 012811 rotary then the rotary update.
