I see that beta 3 is up.... but I had kindof a weird experience with beta 2.... phone froze so I pulled the battery then restarted the phone, which took an unusually long time, but realized why once it fully loaded... Apparently when my phone rebooted it erased everything I had set up including all my installed apps. Don't have any explanation as to why but tried to nand restore to yesterday's backup but had the same result with everything I had set up gone.... Any suggestions?? I know people had the missing apps but a complete missing rom???

Sorry if my explanation isn't the greatest... I'm still trying to comprehend what happened...
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
guess that would be beta 3 :P and is it running a theme or just basic
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ok, so the nandroid restore itself failed as well?

Also, be VERY careful when wiping Dalvik Cache using Amon Ra 2.3. Wipe \data\ is right below Wipe Dalvik and it is VERY easy to accidentally wipe your data instead of your dalvik (poor placement by the dev IMHO).

EVO 4G

HW_003

AmonRA 2.3 << Reflash this

PRI--->1.90_003

PRL--->60670

Build--->3.70.651.1

Baseband--->2.15.00.11.19

Ziggy's ztest-EVO-CFS-010211 << Get rid of this (buggy). Go with the kernel in my signature.

MikFroyo 4.4 ReEngineered(of course)

There are some major changes between 4.4 and 4.5.

1) I recommend full wipe before flashing.

2) Flash only the rom and let it fully boot (sign in and let things sync, etc).

3) Reboot into recovery and flash your new kernel and reboot.

4) If you want to use 4.4 themes, using adb, push HTCLockscreen.apk to your /system/app/ folder (The new lockscreen Mik is using won't work with themes not including the same lockscreen and will bootloop on you).

5) Reboot into recovery and flash your theme.

6) Titanium restore (apps + data only - no system data).

By default, under 4.5 your Dalvik Cache will run off \cache\. There is no need to set that. I personally have found I actually like it better off \cache\ than off SD. So, in other words, you don't have to do a damned thing with a2sd, it should just work. Also, Mik has the scripting in place to set your SDCard speed at 128, so you don't have to run that hack anymore. Your memory manager has been set to "Aggressive" as well so you no longer need to issue the lowmem-aggresive command in a2sd.

In other words, a2sd is fully black box now - you don't need to mess with it at all.

P.S., Be careful when wiping cache/dalvik in Amon Ra. The "Wipe Data" button is right there and can accidentally be pushed to unhappy consequences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nygel:
so on a nand backup or restore, do you recommend not wiping anything and just proceedwith the function.

Using the beta #2. Do you really want to include the lockscreen like that and break important functionality like not being able to turn an alarm off? I really dislike ROMs that don't have everything working...

What kernel are you guys using? When I had version 4.0 installed I used kernel SBC-htc-15 installed and I was getting about 19 hours of use before I needed a charge. I usually charge up a around 25% left. Now I only get around 10 hours before I need to charge it back up.

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has been addressed, I tried searching for it but did not find the answer I was looking for.

I was wondering if there was a zip file I can flash to remove the Rosie 4x5 workspace? It is making the pure messenger widget look horrible because anything bigger than a 4x2 widget, the top half of the first email is cut off and its kind of bugging me. At this point I hope I dont have to restore to a backup and have to start over in setting everything up.

thanks!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I'm not aware of one to revert to 4×4, but if you flash any of the themes again it will take you back to 4×4. So unless you're using the theme that came with the ROM by default, you can reflash the theme. All zips for the themes are in 3rd and 4th posts in the OP. If you are using the default theme, I don't know of any other way except for reflashing the ROM.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Yes, after restoring it essentially loaded back up to a clean install of MikFroyo but nothing would install from the Market...

I was almost a day into running the beta and hadn't even been in recovery until it rebooted but I know for sure I wiped just cache and dalvik. ..

I forgot to edit this....kernel is, and was actually, Netarchy-4.3.1-bfs-HAVS-no SBC and the recovery was/is AmonRa 2.3-test2

I did a full wipe when I originally went from 4.4 to 4.5.... stuck with the default glossy black theme and didn't flash any extras, aside from kernel which was done after install and reboot to recovery...

Lol... still no A2SD for me...

Again, I apologize for the lack of info earlier, I was just very tired and frustrated at that point.... and thank you Mitch for the write-up. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstn76rs:
You can go into setting in the market and just tell it not to look for updates if you don't want them to update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, tonwarr, if it makes you feel any better, I attempted to do a full wipe and clean install of 4.5 Beta III this morning and also could not get beyond the splash screen.

Odd because Beta III installed on top of Beta II with no issues.

Something apparently is amiss.

That is still really weird that your nandroid is coming up as a fresh install. Never heard of that happening before. My only possible guess is that if you decided to wipe cache and Dalvik prior to doing the nandroid, you may have accidentally deleted the \data\ partition instead of Dalvik and then nandroided mik 4.4 sans data. Since nandroid is basically just an image of what you have on your phone at the time, there really should be no way for it to restore without data unless you accidentally deleted it prior to making the nandroid.

Well, on 4.5 and above you have a2sd whether you like it or not. However, if you don't have an SD ext3 in place, no apps will be transferred to your sdcard. But your Dalvik cache will be transferred to your \cache\ partition on your internal memory by default. Leave it there as it is helpful and harmless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
IS there anyway then to flash a new theme and then reflash the default theme? Or would I have to reflash the ROM or revert back to my NANDROID backup? (I'm assuming that the default theme is not available since its not in the OP)

Seems to be some indication that if you flash beta III standalone it has problems, but if you flash a new kernel in the same session it seems to work. Not clear but there is some evidence for that.

Yes I have used it...while the higher resolution appearance is nice, some items get cut off. Below 230 setting, the text in the menu screen becomes cutoff. During games that are full screen, there appears to be a black border which blocks the controls for the game. So overall it's not really worth it imho
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
SBC=slow battery charging

CFS= completely fair scheduler

BFS= brain ****ed scheduler

HAV= Hybrid adaptive voltage (I think, something like that.

Sbc charges the battery to full past the 100% and keeps the fast drop after unplug overnight. Cfs is a more stable kernel that just works. Bfs is also a stable kernel but with a bit if a performance kick and doesn't always play nice with all roms and its picky on some phones. I'm not to kept up on havs, but I personally think nohavs runs better.

I think today I am going to try to load Ziggy's test from the 21st unless there is something newer up.

I have not changed my sig yet because I am not sure if I am sticking with Ziggy's or not... I have never had a FC on any other kernel...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
It has been discovered by many that you need to push the htclockscreen.apk (located in the Removed_Apps folder on your sd card) to your /system/app folder, reboot, then reboot recovery and flash earlier themes. betas recently have been using a different lockscreen that will cause boot loops when Themes that expect the HTC LockScreen to be installed.

EDIT: oops, I see you were flashing 4.4, not the new 4.5 beta versions...my bad!

yeah i flashed 4.4 do i still need to push the htclockscreen cuz i can find it in the removed apps folder
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
ok,

step one - restore your nand that i hope you performed before you tried to flash 4.4

step two - wipe DATA/CACHE/DELVICK three times

step three - flash 4.4 zip file

step four -reboot system, it will take awhile but let it work

step five - reboot into recovery

step six - wipe CACHE and DELVICK three times

step seven - flash theme zip

step eight - reboot system

all should be well....if not, restore nand and try again...

After you install the beta and Dalvik cache is transferred to your \cache\ partition - will amonRA know where it is to wipe the contents of it when you install new kernels and stuff?

that's one of my questions as well....but i've been waiting for mik to finish up with 4.5 before i bug him with such...i've been wiping it as usual and Ra takes awhile, but eventually ends up skipping it according to the output from Ra. SO, short answer, i have no idea! that's kinda why i was really hoping Mik would go back to porting two different ROM;s with and without a2sd....but hey, i'm not gonna beg the guy....he's the man and i will flash what he puts out....

sdcard speeds

I was curious if anybody else is getting wierd speed results from their sd cards after using the flashable sdreadahead.zip. I have a 16gb patriot class 4 sd card and when I was running the ziggy kernels with the mod built in I was getting like 2mb write/9mb read. I was having issues with the ziggy kernel so I switched back to a netarchy kernel and a SBC kernel based on netarchy and with both of those I pulled 1mb write/10mb read before flashing the sdreadahead.zip and 1mb write/11mb read afterwards. I know you can go in and play with the values for the mod but I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet. It just seems weird that I dropped under 2mb write even though supposedly I should at least be pulling 4mb. I know it's hit or miss with actually getting the advertised speed results from sd cards but I did a fair amount of research before I bought this one and Patriot seemed to have a good reputation. Even with these readings the phone is running great and I don't see how it could really peform much better, everything is very snappy and response to pretty much every input is immediate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nygel:
ok i have a little question for the members who upgraded to RAmon 2.3,

are you having an issue restoring a nand backup.

if i wipe before making a backup it will not restore.

if i don't wipe before a backup it will not restore. extremely strange just checking to see if anyone else ran into this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
First, run:

adb shell cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

and make sure it returns 128 to see if your script worked.

Second, if you are using 4.5 Beta II or greater you should not have to run that script at all as Mik has it baked in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newbapotamous:
just a quick question...

I know Mik said he was going to do an entirely gray-scale version for the next version. Is 4.5 that gray-scale version? Just curious before I flash and lose all I have. Thanks for the heads up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Were you using the 4×5 layout before flashing the white theme? If yes, you probably need to flash the 4×5 layout zip for the white theme immediately after flashing the white theme, to avoid bootloops.

I'm getting the same thing. I wasn't sure If I had screwed up using the SD Formatter prior to the nandroid in RAmon 2.3. Only reason why I upgraded to 2.3 was because it was suggested to partition SD better (i think). Furthermore, after the nandroid "restore" process, a reboot kept me hanging on the MikFroyo splash screen. So i just went ahead and start everything over, including a reformat on SD.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
When I installed 2.3 it wiped some of my apps so I did a Nand restore and when the restore came up even more of my apps where gone. It had wiped terminal emulator AND my market so I couldnt re-download an emulator to flash back to 2.2.1 Luckily nothing else was borked and was able to flash back to 2.2.1 via fastboot. Weird thing is, once I did a restore using 2.2.1 all my apps were back in place.
