+1

Tried the beta 4 some more but don't want to do all that setting up and then do it again on final. Also installed adw launcher and man, it is very customizable. I see why some people really like it. No boot loops when I removed sense either.... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Becoming:
Just throwing this out there:

I had a weird issue last night; I did a full wipe, reflashed 4.4, rebooted, flashed the mattedblues theme (which I've become a big fan of), rebooted and set up things like normal (then another reboot to recovery, flashed dalvik zip to move that, reboot).

After getting everything set up I was in bed watching some junk on Youtube just zoning out before setting my alarm and after about 10-15mins of that youtube glitched and crashed the phone and it rebooted itself...I didn't think a whole lot of it, even though that's never happened before.

After reboot, went back to watching some vids and after a bit the same thing happens...only this time after the crash my sd card is not loading...so it's not showing any errors, but it is not showing any of the installed apps at all...I reboot, still same story...

I pull battery, pull sd card and re-insert and reboot and it's still not showing... I ended up having to full wipe again, reflash 4.4, reflash mattedblues theme this morning....so far so good, but I really have no idea what caused those crashed or how that seemingly borked the rom's ability to mount/load up my sd card...

I really wish there was any way to log or troubleshoot what happened there, as that's the first/only time something that weird has happened and it's just a little freaky lol. I suppose it could conceivably have something to do with the dalvik move, but last time I did that it worked just dandy....I'm rather baffled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
very nice mitch....thanks for the heads up about the update...i don't check them very often unless it's ground breaking and AC or Phandroid covers it....high five and a thanks to you sir!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Mitch, How is this experimental setup working for you? Any difference with the swap partition active??
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, here's the thing. I was thinking about the whole Dalvik Cache bit. Android looks to your \data\ partition for Dalvik Cache by default. The only way you can get it to look to your \cache\ partition or sdcard is through a symlink - in other words, a semi-ghetto hack.

So, why not put all my apps on sd and leave Dalvik in \data\ (since it's basically empty now) where Android expects it to be?

Results? So far, phone feels quicker to me. The thing I notice most of all is how quickly gallery images load. Homescreens also scroll and pinch a bit more smoothly as well.

I was still having issues with MikMarket getting bogged down during updates. Flashed the standard GB Market and no problems - so not sure what to make of that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
I will post the link. It was on a page way, way back there.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Ok, thanks! And your right, the gallery really pops up there now! And still getting high 1300's in Quadrant!

...By jove, I think he's got it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
See if your Market doesn't update more efficiently now as well.

** The problem with symlinks may be that they create a bottleneck as only one process can access them at a time. If multiple processes are trying to access your the symlink concurrently, it may get "jammed up". By putting Dalvik back on \data\ we solve that issue. << just guessing here.

That and if your apps are on your SDCard, there really is no reason to leave \data\ just sitting there unused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
One of the (minor I know) things I don't like about the ROM is the icons it uses on it's notification bar and that it's not transparent. I've bee playing around doing this but I end up just hosing my phone. Anyone been able to do this to the 4.5 betas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nck4857:
I had been wondering about moving the Dalvik back to internal memory and finally just did it. It seems to be working better for now, some apps do seem to load faster, but I'll see how it acts throughout the day...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
LOL...leave it to an IT/Software guy to "Think outside the box" whereas this Hardware geek only worries about where things are, not how other processes may want to get to them!! Well done sir!

Calculator Mess Up!

I have the latest Mikfroyo 4.4. I also have: chogardjr Blue Theme.

For some reason it cuts off the bottom half of the calculator! I dont know if its from Mikfroyo or the theme. Is anyone else having this issue? Anyone know a fix?

This happenes with all HTC calculators. I have a screenshot file attached at the bottom of this problem. Please help. Thank you.

Secondly, I may sound like a noob but, my friend has an evo and installed a gingerbread rom, and is getting 2300 in quadrant standard, while I am getting 1417! I mean that is really good and it beats Nexus One 2.2+! But How to I beat 2300!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Quadrant scores are very easily manipulated. Typically roms that generate those high scores are tricking quadrant into skipping over an entire encoding test and thus, they generate the higher score.

Ignore it. MikFroyo is much faster than any current GB roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Re: Calculators w/chogardjr's Blue Theme....I'm afraid in my case this is what we used to call in Military Aircraft maintenance a "CND" (Could Not Duplicate). Meaning, all the calculators and calculator widgets I looked at were just fine and in all of their full screen glory! Sorry I couldn't help!

[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
What kernal are you using? And also from what I have seen ASOP base which I believe Gingerbread is usually get better scores than Sense base roms. I usually go to the website

It gives you more accurate download and upload speed tests.

It's HAVS that some of the EVO's don't like. Try the nohavs version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
whoops, i guess that must have been somewhere else...i have flashed a zip for this ROM that made the clock and battery disappear....this was back on 4.2 though so i couldn't tell ya where it went...

ALSO, if you are using LP you can go into the settings and hide the notification bar...LP puts little icons on your messaging/phone/mail icons to let you know you have something waiting.....i didn't know this till last night and found it pretty amazing...but i enjoy pulling the tab to use the power widgets so it quickly became a sad feature because you can't access it when it's hidden, at least i couldnt...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
i don't trust HAVS, but thats just me....i always use the cfs-nohavs-nouv-nosbc kernel versions.....then again, i'm not a power user so don't shoot me....
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
I had used this same apps2sd on my old hero, running one of damages roms. It was nice because there wasn't much space for apps. The most popular setup was to keep dalvik in /data. Made the phone a bit snappier, but one of the best features was that you never had to restore apps. If you keept dalvik on data, there was no need to wipe the ext partition between flashes.

So I was bored at work this morning and flashed between some different mik roms, and the never had a problem. All the apps were detected and the data was also saved. Another bonus is that the market will also detect the apps as long as they were downloaded from the market. The apps that I had restored through TB don't.

Thought I would pass this along, I've seen people having problems with the market updating apps. This fixed it for me, plus saves a bunch time between flashes.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
out of curiosity, if you flashed between a couple of mik's betas, how is your wifi working? i found that if i didn't do a full wipe of data cache and delvik, my wifis didn't work anymore...kept getting an "unable to scan" error...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:

Some are having issues with the wireless tether and hotspots. On mine the wireless tether has not had an issue but hotspots rebooted my phone the first time I used it but has been fine since. Using hotspots now in a concrete block and metal roofed building with no issues,
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
The longer I run my rig leaving Dalvik on \data\ and apps on ext3, the faster it seems to go. I guess it is building an index of where things are so it can access them more quickly.

Using the symlink, those indexes may be difficult to create thus slowing you down because it can't leave breadcrumbs to find its way.

In the process you come across some code that is so frickin good you say to yourself, "Damn, did I write this? How the hell did I figure this out??!!!"

When you flash the standard gb market - did you uninstall mikmarket?

Did you notice an increase in market performance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Why not just let android do its thing? This is sort of akin to the whole task killer debate, but android is designed to run a certain way. Just because you see something going on in the background with it doesn't mean it's "running." Leave well enough alone, I say.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bo0omer:
three questions for you mikbrains out there...

1. I want to use the regular market. Should I delete mikmarket and then flash the new market app?

2. Is there an easy way to see where my dalvik cache currently resides? I installed 4.5 beta 4 but never partitioned my card with an ext 3.

3. After installing the beta and removing sense my mail and text apps don't display the little numbers in the upper right corner of the icon anymore. Can I get it back somehow?

It's been a little quiet here today so a couple easy questions for you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
1. You should just be able to overwrite it. They are both named vending.apk or something similar. Restart afterwards.

2. Use adb or terminal emulator and type "a2sd check" and it should tell you.

3. No clue. Sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Depends upon the Launcher you are using. If you are using LauncherPro, you can go into Preferences > Dock Settings > Dock Notifications and checkmark all the ones you want to show up.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PolarWind:
Is there a way to push a ringtone or notification sound back onto the phone itself where the others are located? I'm not really a fan of the defaults that come with this rom and I've never attempted to change them before from default before I rooted and flashed.

edit: before I get the obvious Settings > Sound > Ringtone answer, I mean something other than those choices.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
In the version of MikFroyo you are using, the default location for Dalvik is your \cache\ partition. This is to free up room on your \data\ partition for apps. However, if you still have lots of room left on your \data\ partition (at least 160 mb), you may wish to move your Dalvik back there in order to increase speed. You can do that as follows:

adb shell
a2sd nocache

Haha been there done that, got to love pilots. Normally it was something like, "While I was in a 10g turn the seat shook a little bit and tickled my balls, think the seat needs to be replaced." What plane did you work on?

On another note does anybody know what the name of the file to install the hulu app is? I formatted my sd card to get rid of the ext 3 partition and TB isn't letting me restore the backup I have for it. I looked in the system/app folder in the 4.4 zip but didn't see anything that said hulu on it.

Okay, thanks for the clarifications. I don't get why all the devs take out the wireless tether then. It's not better than HotSpot. I was expecting 4G connections for an "unlocked" or "hacked" HotSpot. Maybe OP can change in the first post that an unlocked HotSpot can only carry 3G data connections.

Will there be drastic changes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys.... here is the link to the 2 (apps2sd and without) beta 1 versions.... i did a little color change to the power widgets and played with the anim a little more.

these versions are not as clean as it could get when it comes to wallpapers/ringtones and such... pretty much stock.

im still trying to figure out whether it is better to compress the resources of an apk inside it or not.

these roms have all of the resources.arsc files inside the apks decompressed... it should be a lot more stable like that, thats why i did it... that way no issues should come up.

now... this is beta... so please dont start posting issues here about this rom if u find any... pm me with issues... that way ill never miss it.

also, if u flashed a theme/kernel and than the issue started... I DONT CARE... its beta and all i want from it at this point is to make sure everything work exactly as it is given to u guys.

also, Full wipe will probably be needed (i didnt try without).

i will post a full change log once i can take the rom out of beta.

again... pm me with issues... if no one will have issues for a day or two... an official release will be up for everyone.

the one thing i would like to see, is if u guys thinks the app2sd version is faster or the one without it.

thanks... and have fun.

Um, kinda, especially if you have just moved it back to \data\ partition.

Do NOT do this. If you have an ext3 a2sd will move what is supposed to be moved to your SDCard automatically.
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
Hahah those were always the best. I worked F-15's so I had to deal with the fighter pilots that wore mirror tint glasses and stuff. Most of them were pretty cool but there definitely was a couple douches that nobody liked.

Also now that I got rid of my a2sd ext 3 partition and put dalvik in \data\partition my sd card speed's are running closer to what they should be at. I have a 16gb class 4 and when I was running a2sd and cachesd it would test as 1mb write/12mb read, now it tests as 3mb write/10mb read. It's weird, guess it was just something to do with a2sd and cachesd because whenever I took it out of the phone and tested it on my computer I get test results of like 5mb write/12mb read.
