Ok since this the third time typing this here is the condensed version. Running myns rls5 ontop of toastmod kernel listed on same page. Initial flash went ok minus the Flickr screen, distortion lines laterally, horrendous battery life, weird boot process...osmonitor I had to install due to interference with the OS. Myns crashed a lot with in first flash. Also some one dumb down how to use an irc app cuz I'm also lost....also what IM service can I get hold of u guys on cuz I hate forums.... too impatient
Ok no help? Not even some direction for irc where I can get some real help? Well just flashed a diff kernel thanks for the help guys. The Droid community has been a very unhelpful one compared to iPhone....
(irc help would be awesome still since I now have some help with main issue- I enter all the correct info into the app but it shows nothin. I've tried several to no avail. I appreciate the help) second I've ran into more pretentious ppl in these forums for Android then others no offense to the good guys but just my exp. It was brash to say that in this post tho. Thank you guys again for the ones willing.
That's because even the biggest idiot can work an iphone.

Patience dude. I didn't catch it, but what exact kernel are you using, net has a lot of em, the one in the OP of myn's thread you mean? What recovery(and version of that recovery, some versions of clockwork floating around that have some bugs i think) did you use to flash the rom? what radio version and pri version do you currently have installed? Which ROM were you coming from, and did you do a full wipe(data, cache, davlik cache) before flashing it? I have never experienced anything like you are describing whilst using Myn's, his ROMs have been solid. Give a little more info and surely we can help you get running smoothly again.
thanks for the reply heres the details...myn's rls5, net toast havs more, ra_superson
Sincerely thanks for your reply. Typing this on my evo as my screen tears on and off. Running ra_supersonic(newest ver.) With Myns rls5 on net havs more smartass as listed on page. Updated to current radio and pri as listed on his post. Only dalvik and cache wiped not data. Flashed
Hulu and data governor hacks...CPU is only overlooked to 1190 in smartass and can't go any higher. This was my first root and flash so came from stock 2.2 on 3.30 ver. Have noticed avg using temp is around 103 off charger, cameras broke, my CPU in system panel says I'm running 100% continuously. Did a fast reboot , norm reboot, and still doin it. I had diminished battery life from the get go, I understand battery life per clockspeed relation but have underclocked profile to try to assist, which only cause frustration when coming back from lock screen and its still tryin to switch profile. Lagged the phone nearly locked out several times cuz it couldn't keep up with my fingers.0003 hw....I think that's it. Thank you again
Looks like we're running nearly the same setup, minus my ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery. I have attempted the stock kernel furnished in the Rom zip but since it didn't offer overclock I switched to net havs more smartass. I do the dalvik and cache wipe each time.

Not trying to be a smart ass but do you realize that by insulting us will not get you any help? Rhetorical question
From reading what you jus stated the obvious problem is you did not do a FULL WIPE as you should do when flashing between roms.
Also next time please be patient as those like myself who browse through this section to help impatient ppl like your self, do actually have a life outside of xda. Its been a big snow storm in the southeast so most like myself included are outside enjoying the snow!
DO A FULL WIPE THEN REPORT BACK!
Gonna ignore the soap box chatter...
Obviously know I didn't do full wipe.....just gonna wait for other poster
gotta do a full wipe if you are switching between roms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
also make sure whatever kernel your using works with the 3.70 based roms, as many dont.

Sorry you feel that way but since i have had the hero, on every thread about a rom says wipe all! This must be a joke for someone as rude as yourself to come on here and disrespect those who are trying to help.
Next time you decide to flash a rom remember to do a full wipe because inside the data partition is files for the particular rom, if you dont wipe, the new files will just over lay but not delete the old one. This will cause conflicting issues within the files as the phone tries to do both at the same time.
Screen tearing and the "jigglies" as I like to call it have always come from kernels - in my experience. And just because someone might have the same set up as you, the way it affects your phone ccan be quite different as you are running different apps, different settings, etc.
First thing I would do if I were you is to freeze any kernel govenor you are using - no setcpu, no secreen off profile, no set on boot, no os monitor govenor, no nothing like that. You don't want want any of that going on when you flash a new rom or kernel.
I know you don't want to do a full data wipe so let's see if we cna get you going without that. I used to HATE doing data wipes, I don't mind so much now because I've learned that trobule shooting can frequently take longer than just doing a data wipe.
I would say #1 make sure you are using AMON RA. Power button-reboot-recovery. Wipe cache at least twice, wipe dalvik at least twice. Now JUST flash the rom (you've already said your radios are updated so you wont have a problem with this). Let the phone boot up and give it time to settle in. You wont have any screan tearing. Now you're running a completely stock Myn's rls5 rom. Check some stuff out, make sure your basic settings are good, make sure your 4g is not scanning, etc.
Make a nandroid of this and keep it.
Now start making changes if you'd like. Flash a different font, flash a different kernel, etc. But leave all the governors OFF until you have a kernel that you KNOW will run ok on your phone. For example - I can run 2 of ziggy's kernels but the others don't work for me. I can run a few of net's kernels, but many don't work for me.
So my basic suggestion is to make sure you get a stable, stock Myn's rls5 on your phone before you mod it. If you can't get that, then yes - you might want to wipe data. Doing a batch backup in Titanium is really easy and it makes restoring very easy as well. It's our own customizing that is time consuming because we are all probably very picky (and proud!) of our beautiful phones.
Thanks for the helpful info from ALL that posted. I understand the risk of the non entire wipe, nandroid is safe of original stock Rom but not of new one. After tinkering with setcpu I've gotten more consistent stability. I know I will reflash with an entire data wipe here soon to see results. Running ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery.
I've made list of check point when I test some new Roms and kernels. I have some more question on backing up user info from backed up apps but Im sure ill find it on here.
Now that my system is stable for the time being, some one mind help me setup irc? And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it. Ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery i like also.

You're welcome. I am late at getting back to this post, but yea. Definitely. As everyone else has suggested, you have to do a full wipe when changing ROMS. Only time you could get away with just wiping davlik cache and cache is when upgrading the same rom ( like from rls 3 to rls 4, and rls to rls 5), but even then, it doesn't always work. Full wipe is always recommended. I would also recommend downloading your apps one at a time from the market, and adding your mods one at a time, make sure everything is stable after each flash. Good luck.
QUOTE And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it QUOTE
If your phone is the newer hardware (late 003 or 004), you can only use the stock kernel, or a kernel based off stock for the camera to work. That would be htc #15. I believe Net's 4.3 kernels are based off of that. I am also pretty sure that Net explains that in his kernel thread in the development section.
Thanks guys did the full wipe and reflashed, working ok except SD file permissions are screwed up now. I go to test camera and it says insufficient file permissions when I take a pic. I go to check in astro, I see all the file that are supposed to be there but no editing; it still shows rw. Did not have card in when full wipe was completed would that effect it? Any help? Haven't attempted another SD card. I hope this isn't the second SD card to be trashed during my rooting process. Atleast I can still see that there r files on there. Thanks for the help.
Also any help gettin set with irc? Still having a horrible time trying to work with it....it seems so simple.... so 0003hw are stuck with stock roms or ones based off them...I believe nets kernel on that page was. I will test it out and let you know. I just need to know about the SD card problem. Thanks again guys.
Theres been lots of issues with 3.70 based roms. I always stick to lower versions..usually 3.30 and have no problems.. i also hace seen alot of people having battery problems on 3.70 after updating to 1.90 pri. They usually downgrade to pri 1.77 and there good.....

This isn't true, the problem is ALWAYS the kernel. I'm running myn rls5 and mikfroyo 4.3 with an SBC #15 v7 kernel (i'll edit post and add the link) and I have had zero issues except I can't download MMS messages on 4g on mikfroyo.

Okay, this process will 100% work. It's the one I've been using since my lowly mytouch slide oh so many months ago.
*before you do this, make sure you have backups of your nandroid and your rsa keys. I'll edit post and give you links on how to back up your rsa keys*
RSA Key back-up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900 ...since you're rooted you can go straight to the part where it says "if you're rooted do this.."
1. First you need to fix the sd card. Create a folder on your computer desktop and call it "my sd card". Plug your phone into the computer and select "disk drive". Next you're going to copy EVERYTHING from the sd card and place it in the folder on the desktop (and dude I mean everything! AS IS, DON'T CHANGE ANY NAMES). Then, you're going to unhook your phone, go to settings>sd and phone storage. Then you're going to format your sd card. Yes, do it, but make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first. After that's done, plug your phone back in, select disk drive and copy everything from your "my sd card" folder on your computer and put it back onto your sd card.
*phew*
Okay now that the sd problem is fixed, here's how you fix the rest. You see, when you upgrade your PRI to 1.90 and your radio, etc etc you gotta update the kernel to a version that's 1.90 supported. I'll edit post and post a link to where you can find one OR you can just use the kernel that's included with myn's rom because it WILL WORK. *edit* the kernel I'm using has been taken down because of the witch hunt against SBC kernels. So for now, just stick with stock. It works just fine.
Anyway.
Steps to getting myn working perfectly.
*before starting, re-download myn rls5 in case the screen flickering was caused by a corrupted download*
1. Download Titanium Back-up from the market. Back up all the apps you want to keep (basically, anything you downloaded from the market as you'll get facebook, sense widgets, etc back). You can do this while you re-download the rom.
2. Make a nandroid back-up in case something goes seriously wrong. A rom that flickers your screen is better than a brick.
3. Once that back-up is done, reboot into recovery. Once there, you're going to WIPE EVERYTHING. Full data, cache and dalvik wipe. Yes, do it. There is no other option.
3. Flash myn's rom. Let it go all the way through. Do NOT flash a new kernel until you've found one that's 3.70 compatible and works with PRI 1.90. Myn rls5 is designed to work with the newest updates (which means a #15 kernel, like the one that came stock).
4. Reboot. If the screen is still flickering, then at this point it's a hardware problem. Flash back to stock, unroot and go get a new one. If it works fine, re-download titanium back-up from the market and restore all your apps. From there it's just putting your widgets back on your home screen.
From here, you can search the forums for a kernel that works with the newest updates. If you read them, they'll tell you what they're compatible with. Remember do NOT use an AOSP kernel with a SENSE rom, that's just spells IDIOCY. Until you find a kernel that works, stick with the one that came with the rom because everyone knows that one works.
I hope this helps. As for the IRC chat, not all the experts are on all the time. If no one is online that can help when you get one, try getting a few hours earlier or a few hours later.
Hello all,
A question as first post. I know, hell of a way to kick off, huh?!
OK, here's the deal...
EVERY single ROM I try to install is giving me the very same three issues:
"SD card unexpectedly removed"
"DRM Notification : License required" (Click and nothing pops up. Never seen that before)
No USB debugging mode upon plugging into PC
When I Nandroid flash back to prior ROM install settings, everything is fine.
I've tried different radios, 5 different Sense ROM's
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the SD card. As soon as I flash back to Sense, it shows, hooks up to the PC, and works perfectly
It's been driving me nuts. I've been screwing with it since 7:00am. I really want to run a different ROM, as the battery on my Evo gets chewed up WAY too fast for my liking.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Jack
Well try this:
-In recovery, disable signature verification
-Backup all apps using titanium backup
-Wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik in recovery
-Flash CM7 with the latest gapps, reboot.
Let me know what happens.
Signatures were disabled for all ROM installs (verified)
Full backup via Astro
Everything wiped
CM7 and Gapps flashed
Cyanogenmod 7 works fine.
WTF?

You're welcome.
Now backup CM7, then do a full wipe again, factory/data, cache, dalvik, then try flashing the rom you wanted in the beginning. If its a gingerbread rom, you'll have to flash the gapps with it. If you restore the CM7 backup, you don't need to flash gapps again.
ok, here's the scoop...
Backed up Cyan7
Then:
Flashed to Calkulin's
Flashed to Warm 2.2
Flashed to MikFroYo
Flashed to Fresh
Same 3 problems popped back up.
Flashed back to Cyan7, everything is fine. Thought it wasn't being picked up by the PC, until I hit the setting to enable Disc.
Still confused as to how Cyan is working fantastic, but the others tanked...?
Guess I'm stuck with Cyan?
Also, can I run a different kernel in Cyan7 (say...a more battery conserving one)? Will any kernel work with Cyan, or am I just better off sticking with Cyan and SetCPU?
BTW: I noticed I didn't thank you.
Thanks Roxx.

aosp kernels will work. that's savaged-zen or tiamat. both are very good.

try the newest amon-ra. clockworkmod may be your problem.
savaged zen has better battery life for me, mostly because of the savagedzen governer. it likes to underclock. tiamat supposidly has slightly better performance. i like to run savaged zen.
For best battery, I recommend the Tiamat kernel for CM7. I can get 19hrs at 55% left on the non sbc version. Tiamat is initially undervolted, and allowss additional undervolting thanks to viperboy. And no need to thank me.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.

3.3.7?
And, yeah. I can thank you. If not I'd still be pulling out my hair and rocking the stock ROM, lol!

I got my phn flashed to cricket wireless and its using the jiminy IV rom,
idk what kernal that includes
but my current is i only get about 8 hours.
what kernal should i use or would a kernal change help my battery life?
I dont wnat to switch roms though,
8 hours isn't TERRIBLE, depending on use. I would try this:
Charge for 8 hours, unplug, turn off, charge for 1 hour, unplug, turn on for 2 min, turn off, charge for another hour, then boot to recovery and wipe battery stats, or use the battery calibration app from the market.
Once you do that, try juice defender.
If that doesn't work, I'm assuming the cricket ROM is Sense? Try Netarchy's kernel or Ziggy's (ziggy471.com). You can also dl kernel manager from the market and try that way. I would just start with the newest and work your way back if you're not liking it.
It's important to do calibrate the battery first though, b/c if you don't get the battery setup right, every kernel will blow.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SENSE?
AS IN HOW WOULD I KNOW IF IM USING SENSE ROM OR WHAT IS IT ?
NEW To the HTC evo / scene.
Sense is the UI that HTC lays on top of the Android OS (AOSP, Android Open Source Project).
I just looked at the ROM thread, it is sense. So the kernels I listed should work, just try calibrating the battery first.

Is sense good / needed?

And what are the kernals i can flash ? for more battery life?
Some people like it some people don't, if you didn't know you were using it, you're probably fine. I don't know that there is a 100% Cricket ROM without it.
Check my first post for kernels you can use. Once you get 10 posts I would recommend posting in the Jimminy V thread to see what people like (DO NOT start a new thread in the dev section, just post your ? in the existing Jiminy thread).
Netarchy's kernels or Ziggy's kernels should both work.
Edit: I don't feel like I'm getting my point across though. Don't bother trying any kernels until you're sure your battery is calibrated. Please try that first. It WILL help you.
Flashing new kernal will it mess with my flash settings such as since im flashed to a different carrier?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm not positive but when I searched throught the Jiminy thread, seemed like they were using all the same kernels.
Well whf exactly is the kernal for whay does it change or have to do with the phn? And if i flash a dufferent rom and flash a new kernal on ht rom will it be only on tht rom ir if u go back to my default rom tht i use now it will alsi have changed kernal ?

Kernel is how the Software and hardware talk to each other. ROMs contain kernels, so if you flash a ROM, it will change your kernel to whatever one is built into that particular ROM.
Also, it would help me and others if you spell checked. Takes me twice as long to read what you're saying, although I understand that typing on the phone is a PITA.
Lol im in class. Srry about tht
So it wont change my backuped roms if i flash a kernal on another rom? True false
sent from my htc evo 4g using prem app
No, it won't change anything there. In fact it's always a good idea to do a backup before you flash a new kernel in case you don't like it or something goes wrong.
Ok ilk try tht cal thing. Were tut? Also how do I make a correct backup. I've just been backing up through Rom manager premises but then I here about android backup to, how do I do tht
sent from my htc evo 4g using prem app
If you're using ROM Manager to back up your ROM, that is what I'm talking about. Just called a nandroid backup.
Ok so I have been rooted for months. I have used a ton of ROMS. Currently using Warm 2.2. I tried several GB ROMS but not having custom kernals SUCKS. And I hate ASOP ROMS they are all too buggy and I need to record 720p too so that's out. So I use a nice Froyo Sense ROM. All was good until recently I noticed I have a problem with recovery. It be actin a fool. I tell it to wipe all data etc and it *does* it but it doesn't actually *do* it. So i get the message that it worked, I flash a new ROM, and when I get in my apps are STILL there. But I get FCs out the wazzu. This all came about when I decided to try Synergy. I then switched back to warm due god awful battery life thanks to the lack of custom kernals(i know they are out now but they weren't when this happened).
Now, I can't even get my market to work! And half my programs FC I'm assuming because they were installed under GB and now are on Froyo. I can't replace them however because the market don't be workin.
So, i now need to do a COMPLETE re-do of my phone. I don't need to go back to S-Off but short of that everything needs *fixing*. I need to somehow fix Clockwork, then i need to truly wipe the data and cache, then I need to finally put on a new ROM(Im thinking of having another go at Synergy I liked it a lot and now there are new kernals for it). But I am afraid to just install it, since I know Clockwork is boinked. And I know that other recover is supposed to be better so maybe I could try that but I've never used it and don't really know how. So if someone could post a couple steps or just links to help me fix this thing I'd be happier than a catfish at a rodeo!
Boogidy boogidy boogidy,
Amen.
Change recoveries: Amon_RA if you want backwards compatbility with older scripts, or TeamWin Recovery Project (which is really new, but doesn't support the old scripting style). Visit the development section to find these. Each thread has instructions on how to flash. Since you are S-OFF, it's as simple as putting a file on your SDcard and rebooting into the bootloader.
There are Custom GB kernels now, but they are still learning to crawl and in diapers
Amon RA ftw. I've never had issues with it. CWM is very unreliable.
Sounds more like user error if you ask me.

I didn't. And you don't know jack. Or you didn't read the post. In either case, your posting here was a waste of everyone's time. Don't you have some reality TV you should be watching?
Look for the amon_RA thread in development section. Install that (2.3) it supports old and new scripting. Cwm has known wipe issues anyway. The thread has all the flashing instructions u need. Also search for vr superwipe and flash that in recovery to wipe for you.

Hahaha.. its your fault for not reading that cwm doesn't wipe correctly
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

I knew it had issues with dalvik, I've never read anything about it not wiping your system data and apps. And anyway, if the programs at fault its not bloody well operator error is it? This post was asking how to fix my phone, not why it was broken(which is irrelevant since I'm looking to re-do everything anyway AND switch to AmonRa).

What exactly do ya mean there? The only thing I'm concerned with is battery life I often work 17 hour days and have to use my phone during that time. With Synergy that wasn't even remotely possible. But if the new kernals correct that then I'm happy

I got tired of worrying about my battery life and having to turn all of my radios off, etc just to make it through the day AND use my phone.
So I hit ebay and bought 3 cheap batteries (1500mah, I didn't want an extended one) which came with an external wall charger for $11 with free shipping. Delivery took about two weeks from China but it was so worth it. Now I just leave with an extra battery in my pocket and abuse the crap out of my phone. It's great, and an easy solution to anyone's battery life issues.

I've never had a problem with CWM but I've read a lot of bad things about it so I switched to amon ra. I havnt had any problems with it either. It's simple to use, if u can use CWM then u can figure out amon ra. If I'm not mistaken myn suggests only amon ra for synergy, and the freedom kernel works great with it. I don't think your nands from CWM work with amon ra. So you'll have to restore one then use Rom mngr to flash amon ra then back it up.then use Rom mngr to flash CWM and restore another, flash amon ra, back it up.....so on and so on.

The first thing I flashed was Viper. I loved it at first, then I froze Rosie to speed things up. I started having battery drain, so I started looking for other roms to try, but I did enjoy this one!
Now I am having charging issues - I've spent hours reading posts about this, can't even get the Anker external charger to work, but that's another story. It might be the port, but even with a battery at 100% it will just dive, for no reason or use. Usually with the wall charger, it just drains the battery, without use.
I've tried flashing Incredibly Paranoid Final, CM7 Nightly, CM10. I've followed the steps to the letter, wiping, wiping, wiping, doing the anti-viper super wipe .. Every time I end up stuck with the boot screen that never actually progresses onward.
I know there has to be an answer somewhere. The battery got down to 18% so I decided to post this in frustration. It's at 31 now, so at least it's charging this time, if I'm careful not to move it.
I just want to flash a different rom!
Can anyone see something that I could be doing wrong?
Thanks
Yay, I figured it out! Even after all of my searching to no avail!
I do NOT have S-off, and I didn't realize that. Once I did, I knew I had to do that one last step after flashing!! The bootimg step!
I'm really excited, I managed to find my way through! :laugh:
Install Evervolv or PAC final
Use the superduperwipe its stickied
So that it won't freeze at boot
Remember to install the correct gapps for PAC is the 20121110 and for evervolv its anything after that but becareful

I actually DID install PAC Final Lovin' it so far, too!
I used the SDWipe, it's in that thread too.
I do need to update gapps though, I used the 07262012 one. I'll do that now. I knew that anything after October something was going to be a later version of jb than it should be.
OK, rock and roll! I love this
Thanks!
Yeah if ur not s-off ull have to manually flash the kernel each time via fastboot. But if u use chilly's anti viper zip in the misc section of the incrediblychilly forum itll do better on u when u flash roms keeps from boot looping. Im s-off and when i used the viper rom after i wanted to go back to aosp it kept boot looping. I used the anti viper zip even if i go from one aosp rom to another. It wipes deep leaving no trail unlike doing a regular wipe in recovery. Give it a try and click thanks if this was helpful.
