boot loop resolved

To let you know I went and re d/l 4.3 I took your advice as to perhaps something else installed on my SD. I wiped formatted and partitioned entire contents on my phone then reflashed 4.3, the started to proceed to reboot the phone time and time again. No more boot loop. Problem resolved

In addition I just d/l 4.4 beta ii and I am extremely satisfied and impressed. Been using mikfroyo since 3.0 simply love how u stay to the core of the phone and continue to improve on its performance.

I have flashed endless roms over the last year and mikfroyo is by far the best.

Great Rom Dev

Hey mik or anyone else would enabling the zipalign on boot script in a2sd be beneficial or does the rom already do it. I know in the op it states apps are zipaligned but out seems this script would do the same for all user apps
[EVO 4G Android Development] Admiral2145:
restore error

anyone do a tb restore and the phone reboots with 4.3? i followed the guide and it seems to reboot my phone for some reason... and I hit the problems? button
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
script already is running by def.

that version of sp is not for the evo... its for the nexus 1, so preferably dont mess with it too much, and not all will work anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
Alright cool I kinda figured. I wasn't talking about sp though I know you said don't mess with that, I just saw it in a2sd check thanks for the superfly rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dawgie:
its because your ringtones are on ur card so it plays the default when mounted
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I noticed that when I ran "a2sd check" it indicated that it was set to not run zipalign at boot. Perhaps it only runs on first-boot? I can see that having it run on every boot would slow things down considerably. But running it manually after we have installed a few new apps shouldn't harm anything should it? The adb shell command is "a2sd align" to do a one time run through.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Nice of you to help him out. (but that was already stated by others after his post, so not sure why you repeated). But I see you are trying to contribute so I hit "Thanks" to get you started on your thanks count. (btw, you joined in Dec 2007 and have 4 posts?) Either you are the consumate "Lurker" or you have been away for quite awhile :rolleyes:. Not a knock, just wondering how that is possible.

I think I'm gonna give this rom a spin tonight!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
yeah, its funny. i told myself that i would just delete all the ring tones i didn't want over the weekend. well i didn't bother cause i knew i was going to be flashing rom over a few times this week.

well i forgot all about that until tonight. i work in an auto shop so i keep my phones volume all the way up. the end of my day was a little tense today.

so when i got home and plugged my phone into my pc and it started screaming at me (and dude i mean screaming as the volume is at max) it made me want to rip the thing off it cable and throw it at the wall:mad:

deep breath, in... out... serenity now serenity now.

at that moment i found that ring tone so annoying i'm like a deer in the headlights staring at thing not knowing what to do with it or myself ... lol anyways sorry for the disruption.

Hey Mik,

Don't know what you did for GPS and GMaps, but even with the snow flying here in Utah tonight, I was able to get a 6 meter accuracy lock within 2 minutes! Best GPS performance I have ever seen with any ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Does anyone mind giving me a rundown of how the hulu app works? All I ever get is the hourglass. I just pushed the flashplayer.apk, libflashplayer.so, and libysysshared.so from the 4.4 beta because I read that's how to get it to work if you updated flash from the market. This is all after I uninstalled flash totally. I'm wondering is there something else you're supposed to do inside this app? I tap on what video I want to watch, and all that ever comes up is the hourglass. It never plays the video. It did this after a fresh flash of 4.3 also. I've never seen a video play with this app.

Edit: It's playing an ad now...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...Now the video is playing...nevermind what I said...I guess it just needs lots of time to load.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
You may want to make sure you remember to touchup the post #2 so people don't think those mods for 4.3 will work with 4.4 (since it currently says 4.3 and up)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I don't know if this is the correct answer, but I too stared at that stupid hourglass for awhile, then I tapped on it and low-and-behold, the hourglass went away, the screen was all white, and then after a few seconds,the video started playing!
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Yeah I was trying that at work and it would just stay white but I guess I wasn't giving it enough time. I guess that's all it takes. Hit the hourglass and it'll start playing. I'm guessing the hourglass is like the buffering time. It'll load more of it the longer you let it sit, I reckon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuvens:
4.4 beta 1 after a clean install 397 mb free, 4.4 beta 2 after a clean install 331mb free, that's a 66mb difference! Is it due to dalvik not being moved or is it cause its a aps2sd version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
If you did not move your dalvik that would account for a about 60 MB loss. Why not just move it using:

adb shell

a2sd cachesd

I think the main problem with Hulu Android is that in it's current iteration, it just isn't a polished app. It is slow, buggy and looks completely not-ready-for-primetime. Frankly, I am surprised it was released. So if you are struggling with it, it is not because of Mik's rom, but because of Hulu itself IMHO.

Still running strong. No Hiccups what so ever
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
Yeah I remember I think from virus saying to reboot after installing all your apps to let it zipalign those.

Just an update on beta 2 mik, no problems here its crazy fast, menus look great, pulldown looks great, haven't really checked 3g speeds since I have been home but will be checking them out shortly
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ok, just to make sure I have this straight. Is the Rom setup so it zipaligns all of our apps we install or just the ones that come with the Rom?

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I believe that it is zipaligned every boot.

It least that's what it says in the OP.

I saw only one other post on this but the sound quality in Pandora is crap! Is this an issue with the rom and Pandora? Never experienced the sound being this bad with any other rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
That was mentioned at least for the initial release, Mik's participation on the subject since would seem to indicate that is no longer true. Not to mention "Zip align on boot" does not neccessarily equate to "zipalign on EVERY boot", at least in my cynical mind.

OK Miko, which is it? Zipalign every boot or only on first boot??

[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
I hadn't been on Pandora in a while, but I too have audio quality issues. The audio sounds a bit tinny to me . However, the sound GREATLY improves when I change the settings to "high quality" audio. If I decide to use Pandora, I'll keep the high quality settings on, but I can see how the regular quality audio may bother some people.

So far, the sound issue only affects Pandora (for me at least). Slacker Radio sounds great, even on the lower setting. I'll stick to my Slacker for now.

Keep up the good work, Mik!

Good sign?

Hey Mik,

I'm not sure how many d/l's of Beta II you have had, but I take the lack of any real issues being raised the past 2 days as a good sign that things are getting pretty stable, don't you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
So my issue of not being able to install a few apps from titanium and market was solved by unmounting my sd card and installing them. Not sure why it worked but it did. Weird!

mikfroyo evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
In my mind, a boot is when the device is being 'started'

Therefore, zipalign on boot (to me) means that it happens at boot, when the phone is turned on.

This makes more sense, as this would cover all those apps that are installed after the initial ROM boot.

I feel that aamikam, having proven himself a logical person, would do it that way.

But whatever, I'm supposed to be senile

Edit: (i feel like I edit my every post)

@aamikam,

1) Can we get a flash to disable browser reflow? I flashed calk's zip but I think it messed some things up so I nandroided back.

2) Also, any chance of using some of the new sense apps? I love the new browser's pinch to change windows function.

Thanks man,

Good luck this semester with your studies. We all know you've got the work ethic and dedication to pull it off. You've proved that time and time again.

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I agree with everything you said (even Mik proving himself a logical person ;)) but I am basing my stance on the fact that when you run a2sd check, it reports no zipalign at boot. Now Mik may use another script for zipaligning, I guess we will have to await the "Masters touch" on this issue.

Like I said earlier, it is generally a good sign when the only issues users have to debate are small ones like this one! ROM is so d*mn stable now, we are starting to nit-pick just to have something to discuss :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
This is the first time I have used Mik's rom and the speed is superb. Great job! But using the supplied htc# 15 kernal does not have a good battery life for me. Unplugged for 4.5 hours, several calls and texts, some web surfing and battery is down to 67%. Just d/l' d kings # 11 and will see how that works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Was trying to post some screenshots from shoot me in the mobile xda app but it says wrong format. How come it works sometimes and others it doesn't?

[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Yessir, I agree with yours well. I'm busy today but I'm making sure to give myself time to play with a2sd. Never messed with it. I've done custom partition sizes though.

So, if I set up my a2sd correctly, then upon a full wipe and flashing of a different ROM that supports a2sd I won't have to reinstall my apps?

To reiterate, my apps and data will still be there and available in my new ROM when I load it up? (assuming ROM supports this feature) (i don't see myself switching ROMs any time soon, so don't worry mik ;)

I have not read too much on the topic and I'm sure I'll find my answers in the read-up, but I just wanted some input because, as you said, everything is running smoothly

Also, do you guys know if running an outdated kernel like that would have any adverse effects ?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
hmm, so i just tryed pandora. thought it was kinda crappy. i installed through TB and data so i wouldn't have to sign in. uninstalled the app and re-installed through the market and signed in.

now i feel it sounds better, but maybe thats just in my head. honestly i have never thought pandora to sound good at all. and not just from the evo. its just too compressed sounding to me. not even close to as good as sirius sounds(not through evo, car stereo with sirius) and thats not even all that great.

so right now i would say pandora sounds as i would expect it to.

Battery life

Just wanted to post some battery stats

4.4 beta ii with all backround data disabled and advanced task killer running

unplugged roughly 3hours ago since then non stop heavy use, youtube,slingbox,web browsing etc... etc... battery is now at 50%.

Ive tried a few other kernals, and eachtime i find more hardships than i do positive notes as to running htc #15. For some reason htc #15 seems to run the smoothest or maybe thats just my opinion. Anyone else tested other kernals to increase bat life.

Dialer options?

explain....

i have a version of the dialer completely separated form the htc resources that i made for my v3.25 rom.

feel free to use it if u want... u need both files though... htcdialer and phone apk's

all the text definitions and images used by those packages are already in there... so u can skip looking inside the htc resources files... cuz it wont read the images from there.

that was also one of my projects... separating htc from its resources... i got all the widgets separated already a while back.

again... look in my v3.25 for those.

You know what, take a close look at your stock 8 GB card. I just did (I took it out when I got the phone and put my Old Class 6 card in just cuz I had a lot of pictures on it) and it was a Class 6 card! If yours is too, I say got for it! (I'm editing my post to reflect this change)
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
The biggest change you will see with HTC 15 kernel is the full charging of the battery. That is after charging to 100% the battery will continue to charge. With this the phone will stay at 100% for a longer period of time before starting to loose its charge. In addition to using this kernel I use setcpu to under clock the processor and this also makes a big difference. I hope this helped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:

[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
What do you have your setcpu settings at? Would like to try and see if it works decent on mine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
guys... sorry for not responding much here or on pm's.

quick notes...

i saw the zipalign things... so just as a quick lesson to you all... look inside the system/etc/init.d folder or every rom u use.

all the scripts that r in there are the ones that run every boot.

and... u can also use adb logcat to see what runs.

so yes... the rom zipalign on every boot.

im thinking ill pull it out though cuz all the apks are zipaligned anyways and it will make sure boot time is a little faster if i take it out.

btw... same reason the non apps2sd had a slower boot is cuz the dlavik was being transfered to from data folder to cache folder every boot. (u see why here i hope).

i will now start to look back at the posts i missed... please dont take it personal if i dont respond to every single one.

[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
I did a fresh install of beta 2 (full wipe) and haven't had any issues so far. I haven't really had a chance to do any battery tests yet but on 4.3 the best kernel for me was SBC-net-4.2.2-more-havs-v7.

On a side note I needed to get some stuff from my old setup so I restored a 4.4 beta1 nandroid and while I was in recovery I figured I'd try to flash beta 2 over the top to see what happens. So far everything seems to be working fine and I haven't had any force closes or hang ups. Actually this setup I have now was orginally 4.3 then I flashed 4.4 beta 1 over the top and now I did beta 2 over the top of that. I know it's not an ideal way to do it but I'm really impressed that I haven't had any problems, to me it just goes to show how well put together this rom is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im not looking into adding things yet... just cuz i still gotta work on more things.

but i will... i also promised the gmail app with the pic thing... and never got to it.

im working on the white widgets theme now btw...

im keeping it mixed with the flat black theme.

i wanna put out the final version tomorrow together with all the mods/themes done for 4.4.

so far ir seems i only missed an icon or two in the gmail app... so probably the final 4.4 will be exactly the same as beta 2 of 4.4 only with that tiny fix, and maybe taking out the zipalign on boot also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
btw guys... i see a few posts on batt life...

u gotta keep in mind that if u just flashed it most chances are that the first batt check u will run will suck.

u gotta wait to the second charge at least before judging batt life, doesn't matter which kernel u use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brock1909:
Just a thought,not to sound lazy or anything and assuming not every file is changed from beta to beta to final. Is there a possibility of maybe just an update zip to update the changed files?

If not,its certainly understandable.
