oops! Real quick. Do I need to uninstall anything? I assume that since I did not use busybox that nothing was every really installed.

Just FYI.

Here is my former post...

Three Synergy specific things come to mind

- use option 8

- ignore all the talk about busybox - doesn't matter

- ignore all the talk about "Lock Home in Memory" - doesn't apply

Otherwise there is nothing special about Synergy (or Cyanogenmod for that matter) with respect to v6. You could just go to the v6 thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276 and inquire about it there.

Here's some more stuff I typed because I had some time to kill, but really the stuff that matters already appears above.

Tutorial for Evo users running Synergy:

Get the latest script (currently "update8") from the links at the bottom of post #1 in the v6 thread

Copy the script to your phone.

Start it.

Choose option 8.

Enjoy.

Longer version:

The thing is a script full of UNIX commands and logic. The script lives in a file. If you are comfortable with these things, you can execute it from the command line using Terminal Emulator. If you would prefer to just click on the file's icon to invoke it, you will need Script Manager.

Once it's running at some point you'll see a text-based interface. Choose any "scrolling speed" you want and then you will see the big main menu full of options and it will sit there waiting for you to type the number of the option you want.

Run option 8. Option 8 is for phones with 512MB of RAM like Evo's. The script was originally written for the Motorola Droid which has very little RAM, and it worked fairly miraculous results for those people. Evo users have less to gain, but in my experience it seems to help things a little, so it's worth a try.

Once you choose one of the options, it does some stuff for awhile and then brings you back to the menu. [There are lots of options besides "#8" you are free to try of course, but you really should be asking about those things in the v6 thread, not here.] When you are done, one of the options is 'exit'.

Hopefully this is enough of an orientation without having to wade through all the stuff in the main v6 thread. I'm pretty sure Evo owners can ignore all the busybox version recommendations. Also you can ignore anything about "Lock Home in Memory" which I believe is an AOSP thing.

And as a matter of etiquette, if you think the script helped, go back to that thread and click thanks or donate to zeppelinrox. Not like that guy needs anyone else to confirm his high opinion of himself, but it's good karma.

Thanks!

I will try this out tonight. I really was trying to do this correctly. I installed a ROM (more bad advice) and kind of messed up my phone so I am cautious.

Thanks for all your help and understanding.
