Just to go along with previous posts, my phone gets best battery life out of netarchy 4.2.2 cfs more havs sbc, then 4.3.1 cfs havs sbc, then 4.3.2, finally stock. That's how I perceive my battery life anyways.

Moral of the story, you have to try different kernels to see what works best for you. Flash a kernel and give it several battery cycles (ie several days) and then make a judgment. You can't just flash and access the kernel in 5 minutes.

For battery life, get a more havs kernel. If you phone acts funny, try a less havs kernel. Finally, if your phone can't handle any undervoltage, get a noUV kernel.

Good luck! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gonesingle:
thank u for a prompt and informative post. i will try out the above mentioned kernels :)

i love this rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
At first glance, and I'm talking still waiting for syncing to be done, I really like that I don't have to flash the 4X5 workspace/clear stuff/etc. Only having to flash the different lock screen and a kernel is nice. Seems pretty fast, but I assume since you just based it off of Mik's that it should be.;)

Not big on the dragon wallpaper but I'll just change that anyway, however it does look pretty cool. I was planning on trying out your blue them anyway, so it's nice that I get to do that all in one flash. :D

I'll run it for a couple of days and report back to you with some more. Haven't tried to restore any apps or anything yet or messed with the a2sd stuff either. Like I said it's still syncing...well syncing just finished.

EDIT:GRRR Need to stop restoring apps/data with TB, I guess.

Hey chogardjr, your ROM is nice! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Thanks for the feedback. Yes all the speed credit goes to amikam because it is v4.5 base. Having my theme hard wired into it makes the system run a whole lot faster than flashing over v4.5. Yeah try it for a while and let me know if anything goes wacky.

i'm about to go flash crazy over here...it's been so long since i flashed anything....i'm debating on either flashing 4.6 or waiting for that z-port...i know some of the fun things about our evo's won't work, but if Mik puts his name on it, it must be amazing....

plus who doesn't wanna try that new sense? and now HTC is saying GB Sense will be released in Q2 of this year for the newer phones...will our EVO's be left out in the dark? i hope Mik and Co. can get that update tweaked for our EVO needs as soon as HTC drops it....

lookin forward to the future Mik!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Will do. Reflashed because restoring apps with their data made everything go wacky! Plus forget to flash my favorite kernel. ;)

This time I will just restore apps without their data. Might even just sync up my appbrain and redownload them that way.

Oh yeah the splash screen is pretty cool too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
You know I went back to my nand of v4.5 and backed everything up in titanium and then flashed my Rom and then restored everything with data and all was good. If your using a2sd it might have caused some problems if you didn't set that up first.

Let me know how it goes.

[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Well so far so good chogard. Battery at 80% unplugged for going on 6hrs with calls, text, and web surfing. Speed test 568kbps/download and 726kbps/upload. Definitely showing to be a Solid daily driver.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah I think I'm going to dump the a2sd and then just sync my appbrain account and redownload the apps I want then do a backup without the app2sd. Don't think I really need it, for now. I'm not a big app hoarder so I don't anticipate running out of room.

Now I just need to find the command to uninstall, which I think was just uninstall.

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
2048 is 4 times the size of the internal storage; plenty by my standards.

For read_ahead, my class 10 shows the same performance for anything 128 and above. You'd have to check each setting to see which works the best for your setup, then flash it.

Lastly, I heard swapping is not necessary anymore. What I understand is that it slows down the system and decreases the lifetime of your SD card, without any real benefit. I have a 32MB swap, but I've disabled it with a2sd noswap. But with 16GB, if you want a swap and can't decide between 32 and 64, go with 64 (you won't notice the loss of space). Go big or go home is my motto! :D

Can anyone chime in on whether a swap extension is necessary/ preferred? Searching the forum is NG for this.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Found it thanks. It actually tells you that when you do the a2sd check. Now my question would be should I just leave that partition for ext3 in there? I think I am going just start from scratch again and actually format my sd card, however I don't want to put EVERYTHING back in there. Do I actually have to copy and paste all the folders and what not back in there after I flash? I know obviously the pictures/videos but there are a bunch of folders in there that I think were created that I really don't think I need.

I guess the better way to ask is what are the "crucial" folders that shouldn't be deleted off of the sd card. And is it worth reformatting to get rid of the ext3 partition or should I just leave it in there?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
You can format the card and place it in the phone empty. Then flash the rom . on boot android will build the folders it needs. I just did that to get a clean install of everything.

Keep a backup on your computer. Just in case

looking for news on 4.6

Hello everyone, as usual, was trying to find any details about 4.6 but this bloody thread is waaaaaayyyyyyy too long to search through and like mik, i got school and i also work full time so would anyone be able to point me in the right direction and give me like a post # for what mik said he's up to for 4.6. I'll definately issue a few thanks to the ppl that reply. Thanks in advance.

can someone perform a simple test for me ... bring up the calculator and type in any number then the subtract button and see if u see the "-" in the input field... my divide,times, add symbols all show but my minus does not .. want to see if it is something that i broke...

i pushed calculator.apk again to system/app but still did not fix my issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
If you don't need the space, leave it. You will just have to remember to turn off DT's a2sd if you reflash ROMs. If you don't want to hassle with it, then repartition it out.

From what I found, the system will recreate any folder that it needs. I went delete happy the last time I backed up the SD. After checking the SD again, some of those folders showed up again. This has been my experience anyways.

ok i dont know if this is related to a metamorph or a kernel im running, but...

i flashed a new kernel and used 1 of the metamorph status bars and now my batt is stuck at 80%.

i found it odd that it was at 80% so long, so i put a battstatt widget on my screen and my battstatt reads 73%. i've tried flashing a different metamorph and still says 80% in status bar. any help??

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I think he's trying to optimize an odexed ROM. Out of the box HTC ROMs are odexed, but its difficult to theme. Dev initially deodexed to make it easier to mod. However, Mik found a odexed ROM is actually quicker performance wise. So he is trying to optimize and mod a odexed ROM.

This is my understanding anyways. Someone will set me straight if I'm wrong. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I searched but couldn't find, is there an "easy" way to repartition it out? I didn't go into recovery yet and look at the options in there because I'm still backing up my files. I supposed just reformatting the card and reflashing would work, but I was trying to avoid reflashing Cho's ROM again. Not a big deal if I have to since I really have done any setting changes or anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
No problem, I remember him talking about that. Not sure if you know this but you can do an advanced search and just search for a particular users post within the thread. I say that because I didn't know that until I did that finding his post. ;) Used it twice today already. :cool:

I set my sd card back to normal the same way I partitioned it. Just go back into recovery and set it back ext 3 back to 0. I also reflashed to start over from scratch.

Funny you should mention that was just going through them. Set my notifications with pegasus. Chogard have you thought about making a sig banner?

"Walk by Faith-not by Sight"
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I assume you need to do this in recovery via the usb toggle option and then once it's done move all the contents back. At least that makes sense in my limited knowledge of all of this. Only thing that doesn't really make sense is that I just format the card and then copy everything back to it, what is the real reason to even format the card since I would be just adding all the same files/folders I just formatted off.

I did do the just setting the sizes back to 0 and that got rid of the partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
If all you wanted to do is remove the partition, then you're done. The SD Formatter is a way to start fresh and remove the partitions. Copying off/on probably won't copy the ext3 stuff which is why that would work. Also, reformatting removes the need to defrag because when you reformat then copy back it puts the data sequentially (what defragging does) so it may run smoother as well.

Will do. It's really not going to take 2 hours, silly windows estimation! Only like 7 minutes left. I will look into that.

EDIT: I like how it says it will just skip a file that doesn't copy rather than aborting the entire copy, I hate when Windows does that because then you don't know what it errored on.

Yes, font issue here too. Just when I think I'm figuring things out in here...

Just wondering... whats the difference with formatter 3.0 and the one that comes with froyo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Don't know what fray is but this one not only formats but will also remove all partitions, even ext3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Ok well it all copied over after formatting the card, but when I disable usb toggle and wiped everything and then tried to flash ROM, it says it can't mount sd card. Did I F something up or am I doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
Unplug from computer and boot back into recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Maybe try mounting it manually using adb. I think the commands are:

adb shell

mount /sdcard

Edit: Or what kudzus said.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah that was my next plan of action. I did unplug it from the computer but didn't turn off and boot back into recovery. Formatted again and recopying again, I know I probably didn't need to do that but I went in and played with the partitions and what not and messed it up, so.....:o I reformatted and I am copying info back into. On the bright side I got to use teracopy. :cool: Seems a little faster.

Kind of strange it wouldn't mount the sd card after that. I didn't have any problems when I actually added this new card to my phone and copied data. Ah well. Hopefully the president doesn't call me. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well to be honest I haven't dove into ADB yet, I know I need to "Get er Done" in the words of Larry the Cable guy, just haven't had the time with 2 kids, wife, work, play, etc. I did however try to mount it within recovery but I got the same error, invalid argument couldn't mount sd card. So once it's all done copying again I will turn off unplug and try again.

Sometimes windows is like a bulldog … when it gets a hold on something it won’t let go. You may have been able to eject it from windows
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
No I haven't really thought about it but its a good idea...hmm...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Kinda late to the party...but when exact same thing happened to me it was because I didn't tell windows to eject\safely remove the mass storage device. I am always careful now because I am sure you found copying back and forth is a pain in the a$$. Just make sure that before disabling usb in recovery make sure you eject it from windows first.

Also if you have something like battery widget polling data to the sd card txt file while you connect\disconnect mass storage it could cause windows to see it as an error saying that the sd card is still in use. Only heard of this once but it has happened.

Make sure while phone is booted that you choose the right option in the drop down menu AND on the pc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yes it is...That was a good thought as well, however that didn't work. Turned off, unplugged and rebooted back into recovery, good to go. Thanks fellas. Can't wait to get it turned back on to see if the president called me.:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah tried that the second time around and that still didn't do it (don't know why I didn't think of that to begin with), but the unplugging and rebooting back into recovery worked. I am careful to do that now as well because I have actually corrupted some flash drives by not doing that.

Flashed Cho 2.0 again. :D On a side note, I noticed the missed call (no it was the president :()icon in the notification bar is red. Not sure if it's even changeable but to go along with your blue theme it would look real nice in...well blue ;)

LOL..Yeah I understand you there. I figured it was pretty easy to change and you certainly don't have to change it for me, just a thought. Just wasn't sure if that was something you wanted to change and didn't because you didn't think about it or if you just didn't change it. Either way doesn't really matter too much to me.

I imagine I could go in and find the img and change it if I wanted to.

Yeah I figured it would be fine which is why I did it, but I battery pulled 3 times. Once I sat at the HTC screen for 5 minutes, pulled then sat at the splash screen for 5 minutes twice and that's when I decided to redo. However just did ROM and kernel only and still acting wacky.

Is the dalvik moved like it was with Mik4.5 or will I need to move it? I assume it is since this was based off of his ROM.
