Is there a way I can get all my apps back. I have used Titanium for a long time and never had an issue with it or apps not showing back up. I could see a backup of Hulu in Titanium but I could not get it to reinstall it. I just wiped everything again and I am going to start over with a fresh install of mik's 4.4. I have about 152 apps that I would like to get back on my Evo. Thanks for your help!!

Keyboard

I've always been a big fan of the Droid X multi-touch keyboard. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/multi-touch-keyboard-for-evo-4g/

I've tried Swype and an interesting one called 8Pen. I've tried even the Graffiti input that was out from the old school palms because I have used Palm Pilots for a long time. I even tried the Gingerbread keyboard. I always come back to the multi-touch keyboard.

Oh so may choices.

edit: here is a good link with a lot of the different multi-touch keyboards in different colors... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754948

You could always try MyBackup Root or MyBackup Pro....or you could try an applist backup like Zemna. Then again, I have less than 50 apps myself so I don't know that I completely feel your pain...
[EVO 4G Android Development] elbacker:
Thanks. I will play around a bit and see what I can figure out. I have the apps saved to a list so I can get them all back if i need (or want) to. Titanium has just always worked without issues. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
I actually don't either, thought I was the only one....tried it once and got FC on every single app that I restored and had to uninstall/reinstall. Ever since then, never used it.

That is what Android is all about so much flexibility. We all can find what we want. Not really a noob to flashing roms etc but a bit of a noob to posting. Miks rom is amazing for sure. He definitely deserves the donation that will be coming his way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
which version of better keyboard do you guys use? i see two in the market, 7 and 8
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I second that. Using droid x keyboard to type this now.

Also if I wanna replace the stock wallpapers, where do they go? Or do I just have to keep manually selecting them from "gallery?"
[EVO 4G Android Development] dased14:
ok i have read almost 200 post for this rom and i didnt see the answers i want to know about so here goes.

can i theme this rom to my liking(fonts,clocks,boot anime,etc)or is this just what you get

does this rom really save on battery life without messing with kernels or tweaks(new to this and not ready to mess with that stuff yet)

how or what do the themeing roms on 1st post do i see alot of rom makers names with dl link?(is that their rom re-build by you?)

if so then i'm all in cause fast and themeable is what i'm looking for in a rom with great support from creator

sorry if some stuff was posted about the questions i ask later than post 200 couldnt read anymore post. thx

(yes before anyone starts *****ing yes i am very new to this and i'm trying to learn as much as i can before and while i'm doing something. i like to know the whys,hows of things)

evo madness
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Feel free to mod it how you'd like but be aware that by doing so you risk losing the optimizations implemented by Aamikam unless you use a theme or mod that either uses his framework or doesn't interfere with it. More themers are making MikSpecific themes, you just have to pay attention to what version of MikFroyo it's based on (current obviously 4.4).... Matted Blues will be updated tomorrow and Koni's themes have yet to be made compatible as he has other projects that were on his todo list prior but he did say Aloysious would be 1st...

sorry for the rant at the end but sometimes i see people flaming and *****ing about noobs even though everyone was at one time a no0b.

Has anyone had issues with WiMax/4g? I'm in a weak signal area, but usually am able to connect briefly, but currently it scans for a few moments, quickly says connecting to sprint, then resumes scanning before disconnecting and forcing me to tap to scan again.

Search is currently down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Everything will still work fine even if you do flash a theme not based on Mik's work, you'll just lose some of the speed and efficiency... but you should be safe doing the Bootanimation. Are you talking about a modded HTC clock or something from the market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
If by 'latest RA recovery' you mean 2.2.1, this is a known issue. Do a wipe of cache and Dalvik first and it should work fine. There is a new version of recovery being tested, I think it's v2.3, that addresses the NAND issues.

You can freely flash whatever fonts you'd like, Bootanimation will be fine, and the clock, as well SHOULD be fine but I can't say for sure because I use ADW with Beautiful Widgets which offers even more customization than HTC's offering... sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

is there anyway to change the dialer in this rom, i have a black and green one that i like to use in this rom it would flow real nice with the all black look of it and a few of the icons in the status bar. and maybe add a couple icons to the notifiction pull down you know a 4g, bt one. just asking no one get mad. or if anyone wants to point me in the direction of a way to mash-up two roms into the perfect running and looking rom(for me!! calm down people this is most likely a great rom. i havent flash it just going by the screen shots in the 1st post) somethings i think would look better:D:D:D:D

Now if ANYONE ever picked the accurate username, this "Dude" did!! "Hey Dude, where's my car??"
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Somebody else please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understood, you have to actually create one and put it in the appropriate folder.

EDIT: Actually, I just re-read that thread, and it's kind of confusing with how it's worded, but you'll have a widget.txt file in the /system/customize folder.

EDIT #2: It's looking like my original assessment was correct, because they're talking about "creating" a widget.txt file. I already had one in there from a zip file I flashed, I believe.

It is time to go to bed. From what I can tell, they are customized in that the 4g toggle is present. Therefore, the widget.txt should be there and removing it would default to the normal toggles without 4g, that's how it's been for me every time I've done it. Thanks for the help though buddy!

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Nvm. .
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Good reference. Yep, TB is a great tool but people need to take the time to learn how to use it properly.

The ONLY thing that would make TB better is if the dev could figure a way from it to fully restore widgets to their original placement and configuration. If Nandroid can do that, TB should be able to IMHO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
Did Mik say that no themes should be applied to this Rom due to the fact that it would slow it down? I was thinkin about flashing the carbonite fusion theme but I don't want to slow down the Rom..
[EVO 4G Android Development] itsachirpthing:
Your are correct. However the mods that have been made specifically for this ROM are safe, the others will change the framework within the ROM and defeat the purpose he intended for it. Look at the opening post as well as here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902785. Good luck
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
Cool thanks. Well the only reason I was gonna flash a new theme was for the carbon fiber clock. Would it be ok to flash just the clock? I downloaded it and its just the clock widget. Would that be ok?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i removed dalvik to cache partition in 4.4

so... u still have the same room... but dalvik is in data partition now.

ill put up a zip later today to add that feature back for those of u who dont use the apps2sd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kawaski47:
Well searching only pulled one bad result, so I'll have to ask. What's the directory to get to the widget.txt file to edit the toggle icons? I'm coming from twopointtwo.

system/customize

u wanna create a file... look in js thread to see whats the diff options and such.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
btw guys... u like the new screen shots i put up in the OP... i made it look kinda like a box with "mikfroyo" hanging from the top.

just a quick question... i made one for chingy for his INC rom... so i thought i should make mine similar cuz it came out cool.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
That's looks awesome man.

HTC and Chuck Norris had a baby. It was named the Evo!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
You should be able to flash the clock. Just remember....always NAND backup first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
btw guys.... as far as themes goes... u can flash all of them.

most of them dont include too many packages anyways... so u wont feel a huge diff in speed.

i would say though that u have to keep in mind that there could be a speed decrease... but its not 100% sure u will even feel it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
Ok Ill try it. Thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Call me old fashioned, but the old simple "row of screens" really conveys what people are looking for easier. Yes, the "box effect" is very cool, and kudos for it, but it (IMHO) tends to distract from the actual screenies and makes it kinda difficult to see individual ones.

I guess "Every party needs a pooper, thats why they invited me.." applies here. Kinda reminds me of that Geico commercial with Abe Lincoln..:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
+1 on that! Been running 4.3 since it came out and have been running 4.4 since aamikam put it out and have had absolutely NO issues at all with this rom so if you are having issues then you probably did something wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] loumoli:

[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
Whenever I went to flash SBC's #15 kernel last night, I had to toggle verification in recovery. Is that normal? My phone hasnt been affected in anyway. I was just curious
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Not sure why it is, but several of the Kernel devs don't produce signed .zips and you have to toggle vefification to flash them. So long as you got the file from a trusted source location, I wouldn't sweat the small stuff on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
btw guys... im gonna add a flashable that will transfer dalvik-cache to cache partition for all u guys that dont use apps2sd and feel like they r missing the room for apps.

i took it out from the rom cuz it had issues with the apps2sd script for some reason and im fixing it up now.

note that u all u guys that do use apps2sd are better off moving dalvik to the sd anyways... so no reason for u to actually use the zip ill put up.

that should fix all of you guys questions about the etxra room u had before.

techinaclly u still have the same amount of room btw... its just that the dalvik cache is on the data partition instead of the cache partition... so it looks as if u lost room (well... u kinda did lose the room cuz u have less in the data. but, the rom still takes up the same amount of space).

i hope thats clear things up for u all.

Titanium Backup

So I was having issues with apps disappearing after restoring apps with TB. Mainly Hulu that bugged me most. After lots of playing, wiping, and flashing I now have Hulu after a TB restore. What I found out is that I had a previous backup of Hulu in TB from a previous rom. Once I got rid of that so it did not try and restore I was able to restore all my apps and I have Hulu. My advice as inexperienced as it is, is to make sure you are not restoring any apps from TB that already exist in the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
The benefit of having dalvik cache on your sd ext is that you can place apps with widgets on the sdcard and the widgets will still be available to your desktop. Many widgets will not work if their corresponding apps are placed on the sdcard, unless the dalvik is placed there as well using the:

adb shell

a2sd chachesd

command.

I have also noticed occasional bugs with Market not updating apps properly if the dalvik cache is placed on the /cache/ partition as opposed to the /data/ partition for those not using an sd ext so heads up on that. Maybe your .zip file will fix that problem :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Pretty sure you have to change the permissions on the widget.txt file to make it executable. I seem to recall others having this issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elbacker:
I have also used the same command on my EVO in terminal emulator and it has worked fine thus far. Lots of space and widgets work from SD. Good Stuff!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
You need to be sure to set permissions for user. Long press on the file in root explorer, select permissions, then check the boxes.

Links don't work...

My current card isn't capable of apps2sd, but I have a new 32gb class 10 on the way!

Which brings me 2 a question... I read the guide from the 1st page on getting apps2sd to work, but it sounded like that was being done on fresh ROM install. If after I get my new card, go into recovery and format the card as recommended, then copy back my original card contents, do I have to reflash the ROM, or will everything work as is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
You know, that makes me think of the whole Sense vs. AOSP argument.

The advantage in going with AOSP (CyanogenMod) was speed. AOSP roms are half the size of Sense Roms and have far less overhead. In exchange for this speed, people were willing to eschew wimax and hdmi.

However, now that Mik has optimized his Sense Rom and made it so quick and smooth, is there really any other reason to go AOSP (even though they seem to have solved wimax now)?

But cm7 is coming out with Gingerbread you say and that will make it a better choice. Well perhaps - but coming from one who has used GB extensively, let me say it's pretty meh. It doesn't run faster or look better than Mik's work here IMHO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
Has anyone else had problems with the Android Agenda widget on this ROM?

I can't get it to load all my calendars properly, and that seems to be the case with ALL Sense based ROMS, and this widget. No problems with ANY AOSP based ROM, only the sense based ones.

I must say this is the fastest ROM out there, by far, but, unfortunately, my Agenda, and the 4 calendars that sync to that widget are really important to have working.

Thanks again to anyone who might have a suggestion!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Mik,

Speaking of Gingerbread, what has to occur in order for MikFroyo to become MikGingerbread?

Not seeming ungrateful for what we have, just curious as to the process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I recommend full wipe after formatting your SDCard if you want to go Apps2SD.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeemann77:
Any known issues in RA 2.2.1 with no being able to boot into recovery? I updated 2.2.1 last night, and I cannot get into Recovery now, as a matter of fact, I'm stuck at the Bootloader screen. I can reboot, but to no avail, no recovery. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] remlle:
one question I do have is should the stock tether app work even if I dont pay for sprint tether? I thought I read it someplace but Im probably wrong. I still have wifi tether but would be cool to have a widget to turn it on and off
[EVO 4G Android Development] elbacker:
This is what I did and I have not had a single issue thus far. I have a 32GB SD that I think is only class 2 but it is running great. I followed the steps to the letter and it worked great (thanks Mitch)

Ok, the problem is that there are 3 different versions of a2sd floating around out there and they all work differently and confuse the hell out of people.

Do you want to run the Mik 4.4 Beta II Apps2SD version (Dark Tremors) or do you want to run the Froyo Version? Dark Tremors is automated and better.

If I were you, I would

1) Back up my SDCard to my PC.

2) Use SDFormatter v3.0 (Get it here - http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/) to reformat your card. This will wipe out all extensions, etc.

3) Use Amon RA 2.2.1 to set up your ext2 and then run the ext 2 to ext3 command in Amon RA Partitions as well. If you have an 8 gb card, I recommend 512 MB ext3, 0 swap.

4) Once that is done, reload the data from your PC to your SDCard.

5) Then flash Mik 4.4 Beta II.

6) Once it has booted up fully, do the following in adb:

adb shell

a2sd cachesd << This will put the dalvik cache on your sdcard ext3.

... phone will now reboot on it's own.

7) Now do a TB restore of Missing Apps and Data (NOT System Data) and it will automatically restore to your ext3.

8) Since your dalvik cache is also on ext3, all widgets etc will work as expected even though their apps are on the sdcard.

9) Your Apps2SD is now fully automated. Do NOT move apps to SD with TB or with Froyo or with an Apps2SD application. Don't do anything - it is all done automatically.

Yes, but if you ever did Apps2SD before (any kind) it set up that .android_secure folder and that's what you are seeing there. Try wiping .android_secure using Amon RA 2.2.1 and see if that doesn't go away.

You could try it with your current card to test things and be ready for the new class 10, 32GB you have in route.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
General answer is yes. Easiest way is to reflash as the ROM needs to configure itself again to take advantage of the new ext3 partition you created.

Now, it may be possible to run "a2sd reinstall" without reflash, you can try this and then run "a2sd check" and see what it says after a reboot.
