Hi, I got my evo about a week ago and I'm just getting into the custom ROMs. I rooted and flashed Myns 2.2 RLS5 as my first new ROM but I have a few questions, can anyone help me?
1. In the Spare Parts app, i see there are many addons like Trackball Alert, etc. I checked all the ckeckboxes to install but after they installed, I can't find them anywhere on the phone. Where are these addons stored?
2. I noticed there is a "Warm Themed Market" and I like it but it seems that whenever I install/update an app from AppBrain, the Market downloads some sort of update which reverts Myn's Market theme and styling back to the ugly green. Is this avoidable?
3. Also it seems that there is already certain updated apps on the ROM such as Adobe Reader 10.0.1, Adobe Flash 10.1.106.16, etc. Is there any reason for this or will I want to update to the latest versions of there because I'm seeing update notifications in AppBrain when I sync.
4. I love the ROM but it just seems like the 3G is a bit slower than it was on my stock EVO. I went ahead and flashed the update-Warm-TwoPointTwo-RLS5-Hosts-Fix.zip for the Browser slowness fix. I also updated my profile and PRL. Now I'm getting an average of 600kb/s DL speed on 3G (I didn't get the speed stats stock but they definately seemed faster). Is this normal or is there something I can do about the speed. Not a dealbreaker just a little annoying.
Thanks!

1) I'm not sure, I always just assumed those other settings were for different types of phones, and that they didn't apply to the Evo
2) You can indeed stop the Market from updating itself. Very annoying when that happens. Use root explorer or another root level file explorer and navigate to /system/app. Find "MarketUpdater.apk". (make sure the system is mounted r/w) Rename to "MarketUpdater.bak", changing the file extension will disable the app. That will stop your market from updating itself. Next, go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select 'all'tab. Scroll down and find Market and select it. Click uninstall updates. Thats it
EDIT: You can also use Titanium Backup Pro to 'freeze' the MarketUpdater.apk. That will also have the same effect.
3) I'm not sure about all of the apps, but if you update Flash, hulu won't work. If you don't use hulu, I don't believe there's any reason not to update. Some of the other apps, such as Gmail are themed. If you update it or reinstall it from the Market, you'll lose the theming of that app.
4) I never really attributed slow 3g speeds to any specific ROM, as Sprin't 3g speeds have been sub par lately, and speeds seem to vary greatly. The browser fix that you mentioned worked for me as far as the slowness in the browser. There's also another fix for slow 3g speeds, which I also did try, but personally didn't notice any difference. However, many people claim this method to work great, so it's worth a try. Find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978 Also, for me, the host update fix for the slow browser works fine when I'm on the 3g, but while on 4g the browser still hangs. I could only fix that by removing all hosts files, and thus having ads again. I'd rather have ads than a slow browser.
Hope that clears stuff up a bit for ya.

This is a seriously, SERIOUSLY annoying problem I've discovered.
Sometimes when I open the "Downloads" section in Market my apps aren't there. Well, a few are but most aren't. And there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason behind which ones still show up vs the ones that are missing.
I don't switch ROMs - I run Fresh (currently the latest version).
The only way I can get them to reappear is to manually search for an app I already have installed and update it if an update is available. Then POOF all of my downloads are there.
Any idea what in the HECK could be going on here? This sucks because I can't see when an update is available unless I search for the app. It's driving me nuts
Try clearing the market data.

Thanks, that did it....still wonder what the heck the cause is though.
It may have something to do with running a custom rom, bit imo the Android market still has some bugs to work out.
Sent from my SUPERSONIC
It happens to me all the time. Cyanogen and I believe Ava-Froyo roms seem to download all of my 350+ apps that I have ever downloaded. Some roms only seem to "remember" or only allow me to download certain apps from the Market. I am thinking that if I don't have the option selected to download unauthorized apps from the Market, that could be one reason why. But, I have been wondering the same thing as the OP. Only a couple of the many, many roms I have used/tried will actually have "saved" all of the apps I have ever downloaded. It is a pain when it is a paid app that doesn't show up. I have to remember which ones I bought so I can re-download!
My issue wasn't the market data, but for some reason some roms when Apps are moved to the SD card it screws up what shows.
Try moving any apps on your SD card to your phone memory instead, then kill the market task and restart it
they should all show then
Same problem but with a twist
Not only do my apps keep disappearing from the market, but some apps won't aunthenticate with Googles license server, so I cannot use them! ARGH!

No offense, but thats what happens when we hammer on people to search before posting... (s)he did and zombied the post.
First off, I apologize if this has been covered already....I've done hours of searching, and haven't found it.
Ok, here's the problem: I had noticed that things like App Sharing were no longer in my apps list. I decided to start fresh, and wipe my phone, and use a ROM that was closest to the Spring release. Once this was installed, all my Sprint apps were there(app sharing, sprint zone, etc.). However, when I then installed the newest version of Fresh Rom(FreshEvo 3.5.0.1), the apps are no longer there. Obviously, I need the Sprint Zone app if I need to call their Tech Support. Also, I never noticed them missing until the newest update.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to fix this? Please let me know. I love the Fresh Evo Roms, but I'm unable to use them until this is solved.
Thanks in advance.
Alot of custom roms dont include the sprint apps. If they arent on the rim list then they aren't in the rom

I know that, but it was never an issue with the older FreshEvo roms.....they just removed the bloatware. But getting rid of SprintZone? That just makes it so I can't call in to Sprint if I have any problems. It doesn't make any sense, and like I said, never happened until I did the newest update.

Just dial *2 for sprint customer service. No app needed.
Also, if you need the apps, they are all in a folder for me "fresh-removed-apks-3".
If they aren't on your SD card, look in the Fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip file and check the sdcard folder in that archive.
look in your SD card for a folder called "Fresh Removed Apps"....or something like that. All removed apps, including all Sprint apps, are in there.

OMG duh....they're in there. Ok, I'm an idiot lol. While we're on the topic, what's the best app to install those apps?
No app is needed to install those apps. Just tap the apk you want to install and you will be good to go. You will need to go to Settings > Applications and check the "Unknown Sources" box before you can install them though.
Ok. Thank you so much to all of you for the quick response. I really appreciate it.
I finally got the nerve up to root. Wow simple thanks to all the advice here at XDA.
Now, the question, and yes some what of a noob , but hey, I rooted, with no questions. LOL
I was under the impression that the Sprint bloatware, when removed with Titanium would free up storage (internal).
I have deleted , football, kindle and a couple others and have not seen any change.
And also what is safe to remove. I followed a link and it showed about 8 progs.
Thanks to all, I am a real good computer hacker. going back to the 90's, but for some reason get nervous doing the phones.
BTW love my EVO
had g-1 and nexus 1
It should show for internal however the apps you are removing might not be that big.
You can remove sprint TV, voicemail, football, nascar, (sense), radio, sprint app updater, Nova, Amazon mp3, stocks,all corresponding Widgets, basically everything sprint puts on the phone. One thing to remember is you need peep if you sync Facebook otherwise you will constant sync.
Thanks for the reply. How about you tube?
You could also flash a different ROM. I know from reading that there are close to stock ROMs that have all of the bloatware removed & even in some cases, Sense, but they're still Sense-based ROMs. I stuck with stock for a while, but finally switched to Cyanogenmod & was amazed at the amount of free ram compared to stock. I'm not sure about internal storage, but I don't move any apps to the SD (even though I could move all of them, minus widgets, if I wanted) and I have a ton of apps downloaded with ~250mb left in internal storage. I'm not sure how this compares to you, or if you'd want to change ROMs, but I suggest making that jump.
Edit: YouTube is safe to remove. You should, however, freeze them instead of uninstalling if you want to stay on stock & potentially accept an ota update in the future. If you've already removed some, then go ahead and remove them all.
Thanks, I plan I flashing in the near future. But damn, there are so many to choose from. It does seem CM is popular. Right now (one step at a time) just getting rid of bloat and duplicates.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you plan to flash anyway (at least in the near future), removing bloat is redundant. Custom ROMs don't have bloat installed anyway. I know it sounds like a daunting task, but with the right amount of general technological knowledge/experience you'll do just fine. I was nervous too but after my first flash, I switched recoveries (I prefer Amon Ra over CWM), flashed a custom font and a theme within a week.
Just be sure to make a backup, and if you don't like it or something goes wrong you can just switch back & you'll be right where you left off.
But if you're not ready or you don't want to, that's perfectly fine. If you need someone to guide you through it & help you with the step by step, feel free to pm me when you're ready. There are plenty of other members here that will do the same.

I was once a newbie, just to let you know out of all the roms. CM has been the best, super fast great battery life. and the best of all now it has 4G. Before it didnt however CM7 RC2 now supports it.
Flashing a new rom is super easy just reboot the phone into recovery, (holding down the power button and vol down button on boot) make sure you have your rom zip file on the SD and flash it. DONE reboot and enjoy.
You can backup your text messages but i dont because its just more stuff to reload on the phone
In other words JUST DO IT!! I've never looked back since i started to flash my phone. and i hope you dont either.
Ya like the guy said above , freeze the apps dont delete them. And as far as a rom goes i would recommend the Destroyed Gingerbread Rom.. it owns!!!

This is news to me. Can you or someone elaborate on this? I removed Peep a long time ago and I haven't noticed any issues with Facebook.
Finally got the nerve, CM is on. Gotta go play, get back later with my experience of it.
Thanks for the encouragement to all, so simple. Ha ha
It doesn't matter quite as much now that you're on CM, but just FYI, deleting apps that came with the stock ROM (or any rom for that matter) usually doesn't give you more space to install other apps -- at least not directly. Your phone has different partitions. Apps you install go to /data. Apps that come with the rom are in /system. Deleting from /system doesn't give you any more in /data.
You will save a little space on /data because it won't store the dalvik cache of that app (at least it will if you remove it. I'm not sure if freezing keeps it from caching the dex).
Hello
Need some help with the android "themed" market in warm two point two.
On first run it was nicely themed. Nothing downloaded, but on second run it was back to the original green/white color.
I know I saw a fix for this, but after looking for an hour I cant for the life of me find it again.
Can someone help with this issue on how to keep it themed?
Theres also a second issue where the text is white on the white background so I cant read descriptions or reviews in the app.
You can go to applications>market>uninstall updates. Then if you have titanium back up you can freeze the market updater. Or if you have root explorer you can just rename the market updater to something like marketupdater.back

You have two options on keeping a themed market. (the reason it changes, is that it's auto-updating itself). Option 1, disable the 'marketupdater.apk', and revert the market back to Myn's. It won't update anymore, and you're market will be slightly out of date, but that affects nothing. Mine's out of date too. Option 2, is download and flash an up to date themed market from here on XDA. THey are in the themes and apps section. To do option 1, use root explorer (or any root level file explorer. You can use Titanium backup to freeze the app too) to navigate to /system/app. Find "marketupdater.apk" Change the .apk to .bak. That will disable the market updater, and your market will no longer auto update itself. This just means that the 'market itself' won't update. All your apps and everything will still alert you for updates as normal. Once you disabled the market updater, go to your homescreen. Hit menu>settings>applications>manage applications. Select the 'all' tab. Find your market in there, and click on it. At the top is a button that says uninstall updates. Click that. Then you're done, market should be back to Myn's themed market. No more auto updating. Good luck. And as I said, you can use titanium backup to 'freeze' the marketupdater if you want, rather than using root explorer. Eitehr way is fine.
EDIT: ignore link i posted.
Yes!
Thank you both. Im off to fix the issue.

Wouldn't you be missing some features though with the older version of the market? For example, isn't RLS5 from prior to the web market being enabled? And there could be security fixes or other improvements in the newer market releases as well.
The HTC One's stock browser comes with three locked bookmarks. I was wondering if there's a way to delete them without root? I've tried the bookbmark sort & backup and bookmark manager apps without any luck.

If you're OK with Chrome you can sidestep the locked bookmark issue -- I've just hidden the stock browser from the app tray and don't even think about it. Another nice feature from Chrome is it will sync your bookmarks from other devices if you log in with the same Google account.
EDIT: ah, interesting -- just noticed a "Verizon" bookmarks folder in my Mobile bookmarks folder. Can't delete it. Hmmm, doesn't seem too distracting...

Hey Matt, appreciate the input. Yep I have chrome and opera mini installed, as well as dolphin, which used to be my main browser. I recently read about the dolphin browser being from china or routing data to a Chinese server, so I've pretty much stopped using it. The stock browser actually isn't bad - it feels just as fast as Chrome overall, and I like the "lab" UI on the stock browser a lot. And it seems to sync with the bookmarks from the google account too.
Stupid Verizon... guess we'll have to wait until root to delete them!

So what's this lab UI you speak of -- or did you mean to say "tab"? Is it worth unhiding the stock browser to check out? Didn't realize it also syncs Google bookmarks. Guess I should check those things before offering advice!
FWIW...speaking of root, this is my fifth day with the One and I'm totally understanding those "I can live with this phone as-is" testimonials. My only concern is whether it will start to slow down without regular shots of fstrim (which we'll get someday with 4.3). At least I know now how to get into the bootloader/ecovery to clear the regular cache.

Nope, I meant labs! It's almost like an easter egg... go to Settings --> Labs --> turn on Quick Control.
This puts the stock browser in full screen mode and hides everything. Very clean! The control is tricky at first - what I've discovered works best for me is to use the side of my thumb and roll over from the edge, as if running over a finger print scanner. Then, a wheel pops up with all settings, bookmarks, etc. Once you get the hang of it, it's super intuitive and so elegant.
And you know what... the same thing was already in my Rezound stock browser too! Maybe it's Sense thing? If so, HTC really sucks at marketing - I really love this feature.
Also I read in some posts that the stock browser gave the best battery life. In light of all the tracking going on, I am starting to try to pull back from all things Google. So for now, I am enjoying the stock browser - save for the stupid Verizon locked bookmarks!
What's this about fstrim and cleaning cache? Mind elaborating?

Wow Eric, thanks for filling in the blanks. I definitely have to try it.
Here's the quick breakdown on my side:
fstrim -- The TRIM function in Android/Linux takes memory space that has been deleted, and informs the memory controller that it's available (it normally doesn't check until it tries to find writable space which eats up CPU time). The fstrim function has been added to 4.3 and runs quietly when the device is idle (you can also run the Lagfix app, but it requires root). As a case study, it totally transformed the slow and pokey 1st gen Nexus 7 into a speedy beast.
cache cleaning -- Ideally, we'd have root and could occasionally delete the Dalvik cache as well as the regular data cache. Unfortunately we can't do the first, but we can still do the latter by booting into the bootloader (this post helped me figure it out) and then just running the "wipe cache" option. I suspect it's something that won't be frequently needed on the One, but I'm glad we have the option.
EDIT: based on your sig I'm guessing that second part about cache-cleaning was pitched way too low -- if so, sorry -- it's a bad habit of mine!

For me, yes, the stock browser picked up the Chrome bookmarks. The interesting thing is that it didn't carry over the bookmark icons or labels. They're just blank, generic bookmarks for some reason. I have to guess which is which. Folder names translated over for some reason. Weird.
I used Dolphin for the longest time since I was caught up in the stigma that the stock browser sucks. I couldn't have been more wrong.
About 3 months ago I ditched Dolphin and started using the default browser in CM9, and loved it. Now all I use is the stock browser. It does its thing very well and never fusses about updates in the play store or routes traffic through China.

Oh no you're good Matt - being helpful and spreading useful info is never a bad habit I actually didn't think about this before, but yeah basically all phones are essentially running on small SSDs and TRIM support would be crucial to long-term performance.

That's interesting, because the stock browser on mine showed the Chrome bookmarks perfectly, including everything from names and website icons to the folders.

Haha well I am glad to help! So I renamed both and wiped both davlik and the normal cache partition in TWRP. Just rebooted. The three bookmarks are still there... and I still can't delete or edit them in any way. I even went into the browser2.db and deleted all entries under the bookmarks table using SQLite Editor. Still no luck.
What did I miss?

Nothing. What I did was apparently allow them to be removed from Chrome and I assume other browsers. They must be hard coded in the stock. I've never used it. I bet the apk will have to be dismantled to get them gone.

Oh yeah I had them disabled in Chrome already. I was talking about the stock. You're probably right. Dammit Verizon...
