From what Mik told me, he has been using a different "module" for the apps2sd builds when he releases them. I am guessing that that means he uses a different boot.img file for them, and therefore the non-apps2sd version he is using for the current beta releases won't have the code you need. He seems to be aware of the issue, so I am just waiting on 4.4-release (patiently waiting...not very well!)

I am just nandroiding my every step, trying out the betas, and then going back to 4.3-apps2sd cuz I am happiest with its performance (until Mik releases 4.4 that is!)

boot loop

After flashing 4.3 system runs great had no problems what so ever until i power down or reboot then system get stuck in boot loop. Wont even go to mikfroyo boot animation. Complete system wipe and partition. Reflash problem continues. Dont know why? Anyone else experiancing same problems. Also will the new uploaded 4.4 be uploaded to the same link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok here is beta 2 again... i just wanted it to be more closer to the final v4.4

so... this one does have apps2sd support.

MikFroYo-v4.4-Beta-II-signed.zip

sorry guys... i saw there were 35 of u that grabbed it... but this one is more closer to the final ver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Was apps2sd the only change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
and an extra lib file that i found to be causing hotspot to only work after u turn on usb tether first... now u dont have to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
4.4 cant be the exact same link... but it will be in the same folder if thats what u mean.

now... as for your boot loops... im pretty sure u added something or restored data in some way.

if not... maybe u had a bad d/l and should reflash and/or redownload.

if u can though... feel free to wait until Sat... thats when 4.4 final will be up. (maybe sooner)

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
So you are recommending full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
always... i told u about the market thing in the pm u sent me...

it only cuz it was a clean install... im pretty sure if it.

if u can suffer through restoring only data things that wont mess with any settings.. also.. do it.

starting fresh is always better.

a2sd ftw

This has to be the best and fastest rom I have ever used....I have a 16 gig class 10 sd card and omg I have loaded around 20 roms or so on my evo in the last 3 months and this is by far the fastest and smoothest rom I have ever loaded, If your after high performance and stability, the app2sd version is the best you will ever find period. I have never seen a phone load up in under 1 min its like the fast boot or hot boot but, you do it from when you turn on you phone....I dont think ill ever be able to switch to another rom.... so many rom creators say they have the fastest and smoothest roms but....your non a2sd version runs like there standard version, but you get a class 6 or higher omg its crazy....and to anyone who thinks its to expensive....newegg has a 16 gig class 10 micro sdhc card for 29.99 you cant beat it. I made a 1 gig a2sd partition on it and this thing screams......

Great Job :)

Should change the name to Ultimate Rom

Oh yeah... i use to run auto killer memory optimizer.... but with app 2 sd there is no need. followed the guide and moved the Dalvik Cache to the sd card this thing is a beast....

you can tell this is my 1st time flashing this rom LoL
[EVO 4G Android Development] newbapotamous:
A full wipe is preferable because then you can report bugs whenever you find them. It gives you a baseline of a fresh install, then you can report any bugs you run across. It'll help Mik look for the specific problem you bring up. I know its general knowledge, but the short answer to your question, would be "YES".
[EVO 4G Android Development] suboveryde:
I have it figured out my 4g antenna was on and I was in an area that got 4 g service the hotspot will not work on 4 g service and will give you that account not active message. once I turned off 4 g and it went back to 3g the hotspot was working. thanks for all your help great rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... when 4.4 will be released ill make sure u guys will have all the old options working on it.

the thing is that all the older mods dont have the menus icons in them... so i need to redo them all for 4.4.

its funny how each version although not much different performance wise is ver diff in many other things... but i think thats why i put the number raise in the ver #.

anyways... i promise u will also get the white theme for that version.

ill put up testing version of the white and new flat black theme as soon as i can.

also the 4x5 mods will have to change... again... so ill put up test version for those also as soon as i can.

ill post a link to the folder where ill upload the test mods soon.

what do you guys recommend for swap size and ext thanx in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
here's the speed test data i got. phone in the same spot for both tests, used the speedtest.net app

beta 1 beta 2

3g 3g

down-up

800-520 805-623

845-736 616-281

883-668 791-593

4g 1 bar I ran two sets of 4g tests with beta 2 and got 2 extremely different results

500-76 165-120 2418-185

151-92 167-50 2245-221

296-38 364-43 2378-328

Honestly I never really take speed tests results too seriously. Nothing seems really different so far - streaming hulu, movie from mediamp4.com, youtube videos they all load and play fine with no buffering on 3g. I don't really bother with 4g at work because I get such ****ty reception. I'm still getting GPS fixes in maps and navigation in like 2-3 seconds.

The menu icons looks great and so does the drop down android dude, just can't wait to see it all in white. I'll keep beating on this for awhile and see if I can find any other issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
ZERO swap. Swap doesn't play well with Froyo. 512 ext if you have an 8gb card and 1024 if you have a 16 gb card. IMHO, the best recovery to set up an ext with is Amon Ra 2.2.1.

I recommend you go with ext3. However, do not go ext4 as this rom does not support it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Ok so I went back to a nandroid with it all working and everything is fine. Do you think it is a titanium backup issue or maybe a wiping issue? Im still using amonra 1.8? Any help is appreciated cause now I am affraid to flash the beta. Maybe I should just delete all my backups in titanium and start fresh with new back ups from this nandroid.

Sweet wallpaper, where do I find it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
Honestly I hardly use titanium backup to restore anything. I only use it for a few games so i don't lose saved progress and my e-reader apps so i don't lose my place in books, other than that I just sync all my apps with appbrain before i flash to a new rom then I just install everything fresh after I flash to the new rom. I know some people don't want to go through all that work but I do it so often that it doesn't even take me that long anymore. After a fresh rom install i'm normally back to my usual setup within a half hour.

of course I read somewhere about 32mb swap before I saw your response and the phone was sitting at recovery waiting lol isnt there a way tpo have a2sd just not use the swap file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sixspeeder:
I don't remember all the details but since I had that issue I always delete my backups before doing another backup and haven't had a glitch since.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
But my question is I knownit wouldn't install from back up, but why would it not install from market either? That sjouldnt be a tb issue correct? Would that be a market issue instead?

mikfroyo evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
a2sd requires an ext2 or ext3 but does not require you to have a swap file of any size on your ext.

Just go ext = 512; swap = 0 and you should be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Type a2sd help from shell, there is a command to disable swap.

I have noticed sometimes in titanium it won't let me restore an app unless i have it installed, so if you can get angry birds to install from the market go back into titantium and see if it gives you the option to restore app & data.

[EVO 4G Android Development] noregretzzzz:
Since the conversation is still going on a2sd, I hope I'm not beating the horse. The last two days with my phone borked was definitely a learning experience. Here's what I found, if u use dta2sd DO NOT use anything else to move apps to sd. I also think u can't move a whole app to the sd since some of it still has to run from system, but dta2sd will automatically move apps to sd without u needing to manually do it. If a problem shows like in the post where their system memory went down, do a2sd check to see what the problem may be. Possibly a2sd repair will fix the issue. But yeah, DO NOT use tb or anything else to try and move apps if u have dta2sd.

Just wanted to see if this happens for anyone else:

Bringing up People for my contacts, if I choose a number to call, when the screen times out it doesn't show the current call screen, it shows my home screen. Hitting the phone option at the bottom brings up the regular dialer NOT the current call I'm on.

I have folder shortcut for my phone contacts (the All People one you can choose) and clicking a contact brings up their page to choose the normal call, text, options etc...calling doing that does the same thing.

The only way I see to get back to the current call screen is to pull down the notification bar and click the call from there.

but seriously it bugs the fek out of me. where or what is the setting called to change this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TOOLhead08:
You're right. I also noticed you can't read the message on the "What's new to Gmail?" pop up because it has a white background. Very minor things, though.

BTW. Mik, love the android on the notification background. Maybe make the eyes transparent as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Becoming:
I'm saying the default behavior (after screen timeout) was to automatically show the current call screen so you could disconnect, change to speaker, etc...which it's not doing.

I never had to use the notification trick before because that is not how it behaves during a call by default, so I'm not sure how that's "normal".

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Despite your rather "abrupt" reply to my attempt to help, I'll continue to try and help anyway. Your original post said "get a call or text". But if it is only texts that is causing this, it would help to know what text messaging app you use.

I use Chomp SMS and it allows me to customize my notification ringtone separate from the phone's default notification. I mounted my sd card to my computer and received a text and the notification was indeed different than the phone's default, but not different than the sound it played when not mounted. I am guessing that whatever text app you use, it may have a setting that perhaps uses a different notification if your sd card is mounted, perhaps it is setup to save texts to your sd card and this is a "warning" ringtone to let you know it can't save it because the sd card is not writeable while it is mounted?

Just tossing out possible ideas that occured to me. But I would look into your specific text app. It is a "strange" behavior, nonetheless and I had to chuckle cuz it probably would have freaked me out too!

ok... here is the answer to your question.

i stated in the changelog that almost all ringtones and notify sounds etc. are on the sd card (removed_ringtones_and_notifiantions)... but still showup for u to pick from.

so... if your sd was plugged up to the pc... it makes sense that there will be no sound )(or default sound instead) if the sound u pick is on the sd to begin with.

i hope thats clear now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
yeah, sorry but your first line on your response kinda sounded like - your an idiot! so i reacted to that.

i use the stock htc message, phone, contacts and email apps. always have, and i've never had this before mikfroyo. and it is both with calls and texts. it was calls over the weekend and texts today. didn't about it much before but tonight it got to me.

i just flashed 4.4 and plugged into my pc as charge only. i called it and it rang with what i set it to. mounted the sd card and this time it rang different, but it wasn't the ring ring. a much softer i can live with tone. the main ringtone was set as ring ring. still waiting for a text to see what it will do.

yeah i'll have to look through the setting for ring tones in messages and the dialer i guess. i thought i had looked for anything to do with the sd card over the weekend, but i didn't spend much time on it.

i'll go through everything later i guess. was hoping to find someone that may know what this is already.. oh well. gotta make some dinner so this will have to wait.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its ok man... i do the same...

but i also know that most people dont read the full change log... i never read it my self actually when i try out something.

but... even if u do read it, u might not get that things on the sd dont work on the phone once the sd is plugged to the computer (this is the reason i dont like apps2sd btw) or might have never noticed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
thanks it does. and yes i did read that. i guess i just don't fully understand how it all works. or how to change the tone.

i actually don't mind the sound it is giving me right now on 4.4 II. but would love to know how to control this for if it decides to be back on that ring ring tone some day. sorry that one just erks me.
