Do you still have to change the permissions on the file to R, RW, R, R and then reboot?

I know when I was using MIUI and installed the Sprint Voicemail and Sprint GPS I had to do this. Let me see if I can find the directions and maybe they will help.

Whiteice

*EDIT* I will post the link and directions here. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK SO I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. I know this method worked when I used MIUI before, but I have not tried it with MIKFROYO.

"ok, i used root explorer. u can adb this too.

1) put the apk on ur sdcard

2) open root explorer

3) navigate to /sdcard/whatever.apk

4) long press, move

5) navigate to /system/app/

6) click mount r/w up top

7) click move file ( or paste..whatever it says at the bottom next to cancel)

8) find the .apk you just moved

9) long press > permissions

10) user : read/write, group read, the last one read as well. so it should be r/w, r, r

11) click ok/back whatever

12) click mount r/o up top

13) exit (Reboot)

14) look on ur homescreen for app.

BCDARS-20110202-1734FULLBACKUPORIGINAL But there was a part where there was a space in the name, no underscores or anything. So hopefully that fixed it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Sorry to interject here but it looks like you have 2 dashes there instead of "underscores" do not know if that makes a difference our not. Shouldn't it read

BCDARS_20110202_1734FULLBACKUPORIGINAL ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Nothing looks illegal there, hopefully removing that space solves your problems. But just a suggestion maybe. If you plan to use RA recovery, you won't be able to see the full filename in the display, so trying to determine what file to flash may be difficult.

Use whatever naming convention you want, but generally speaking, putting the relevant info close to the beginning of the name so that you can see it thru RA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Ok so I can put whatever I want in front of the saved name RA gave it? I wasn't sure if that would mess it up or not. Thank you for the information on that.

Whiteice
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Interjecting is allowed. Dashes are allowed also. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
Just a FYI I copy and pasted teeter from the removed_apps folder to system/app with estrong and rebooted and it worked fine for me. Didn't have to change any permissions but that may not be the case for all of the removed apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
To be honest, for backups I intend to save for a possibly a long time (like known good set-ups), I completely erase the name RA assigns to it and just put something meaningful to me. For example, I have a backup saved called mikfroyo44.zip That way, when restoring, it's easier to tell what the various files are.

There is nothing in the RA code that requires the RA filenames to be present.

For anybody that is on clockworkmod you can rename your backups too and use spaces in the names. I normally leave the date and time then add some info about the setup. EX: 2011-01-30.17.20.52 mik4.5b5 blue theme

Android Web Market

I know this is a little off topic, but since most of us don't look at any other threads these days anyway....

New Android Web Market is live now. Check it out, it's very good!

http://market.android.com/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
i keep up with phandroid.com and saw this...it took a long time to get this going and i'm happy they finally did it...something that can finally compete with itunes...now google just needs to get an app out there for everyone's desktop that can "sync" their apps and music junk and make life a bit easier for androidians....

i know, we don't need to be LIKE apple, but lets be honest, itunes is the real head that keeps apple alive....kill the head, kill the beast...

on a side note, i love my evo more than anything now that it's running on mikfroyo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
I hear ya there. I had an (gasp) iPhone 3gs for a while. Switched to Android and have never looked back. I think the EVO is head and shoulders better than the iPhone. BUT...not having a set of software to manage things is a definite drawback. I actually Appbrain to help with that, but all it will manage is Apps.

Oh well. Not a big enough deal that I'm real concerned, but think the web-based app store is a definite step forward.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
thanks for this. looks nice :) i been w mikfroyo almost since conception :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I would suggest that you do a complete, full, absolute wipe and just run the ROM bare, without installing anything.

That way you can see if its an app.

Have you checked spare parts?

Did anyone see my post regarding the new tool that is made for defragging flash memory? I used this and my gallery loads instantly now.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11074552&postcount=10216

P.S., Make sure you select the the "defrag flash" option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
Been using mydefrag from before the name change, but never tried defragging my flash, going to give it a whirl.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
As per your suggestion I install it and my gallery does load a lot faster :D

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
I noticed that and was intrigued. In theory, since flash memory has no read/write heads to move, fragmented files should not be a problem on our cards. Wonder what that software does to speed things up. I guess, again in theory, there is some time spent jumping from fragment to fragment (the circuitry of the card handles this somehow). Guess it would be possible to speed this up.

Please don't take this as doubting what you see. I'm in NO WAY a physical storage expert.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
chogard, sent you a PM
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
It has no read/write heads; however, the data is still fragmented. Mine was 6% fragmented when I tested it. Anyway, that software program is very sophisticated and put together by some smart people. If it was useless they would not have done it.

The proof is in the pudding and my card is definitely faster now reading galleries, adding application icons, adding widgets etc after defragging.

It's up to you. My results were good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well then I'm not going crazy! That's a relief :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Defragging now, if it screws up my sd card....heaven help you Mitchell!! :D

Seriously, I am sure it will be fine and thanks for the find:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
O Mitch, how naive can you be? There are tons of "useless" programs/apps out there!! ;)

But yes, this one does appear to do some good, my gallery loads faster also!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
The fragmenting point you made was the same thing I was trying to say...only you said it better. There would certainly seem to be performance gains to be had by removing fragmented data.

I just did some reading (I believe everything I read on the internet :) ), and based on the number of writes that most flash data is capable of before failure, I stand a much higher chance of losing my card than I would ruining my card because of the extra writes from defragging.

Defrag away!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
i had planned on doing this tonight when i get home...i can't do much during the day since i'm at work, but i love that you guys keep adding more tips and tricks...you should add this one to your siggy so i can get to it quickly when i get home ;)

btw - i'm seeing a LOT of Team MiKs now...good job on the siggy add-on.....i got two thanks added because you!! woohoo!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Cool. Oh believe me, I can be much more naive than that :).

My point was that since these guys make one of the premier defraggers on the market, it would be odd for them to add something useless. If this had been put out by "Joe's Software Co" I likely would not have tried it.

I think the key point here is that this defrag has been optimized just for flash memory - in other words, it defrags with the idea of how flash memory works in mind. From the feedback so far, it seems to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nck4857:
Does this thing just defrag the fat32 partition?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I assume so because the ext3 isn't on the list of choices to defrag.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Hey, hey...Joe's Software Co make some fine stuff...I am currently running their "Joe Can Make you Rich today" and the "Joe will Get you a Hot Super Model Wife" programs as we speak! I will report back results later:)

[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
This should be correct … As they have no read/write heads. Not sure why but, I did see faster gallery loading. Hummm ... something to think about.

Someone else do the thinking … I’m old and it hurts my head.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
You have no idea how happy I am that your battery problems are solved ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, you'll notice (graphically) after the defrag is done that it has dumped everything pretty much on the "front" of your card. That can't be a bad thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Your just happy cause ill shut up ;-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
So I spoke with a friend in the SD CARD industry (all errors with terms are mine since I'm paraphrasing her) and she indicated that you would/could see some performance increases from data being put together in contiguous blocks and condensing free space.

Having said that what she does NOT recommend you do this on a frequent and regular basis. What she would rec instead is that you do a defrag/condense before you do a NANDROID backup (with the caveat of her not knowing exactly how/where the Nandroid will restore data to onto the flash so you may lose your optimized placement). She would then format the card and restore.

I just wanted to check with other people that use SBC kernels and see if they are still getting extended periods of time at 100% after charging. When I first started using the SBC kernels I used to get the long periods at 100% but now sometimes I won't even be at 100% when I pull it off the charger after sitting all night. Not sure if there is some truth to what people say about SBC killing batteries but I do know that my phone isn't charging as well it used.

Hey guys, wanted to turn you on to my #1 FAVORITE APP on my phone.

One of the things that Google does BADLY is integration between your CONTACTS and your CALENDAR.

If you want to create an appointment to see Dave on Thursday, you have to open your Calendar and either type in Dave's phone # and address from memory or cut and paste.

What this app does is let you choose a Contact and then create a Calendar event by dropping the Contact's Phone # and Address into the Calendar for you automatically. It is SWEEET and definitely helps with navigation to appointments.

Anyway, if you want to check it out, it's in the Market and it's called:

Contact Event

Buck or two i think. Definitely worth it. (P.S., I have no financial interest in this app).
