Synergy RC2 vs RLS1 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any big differences between RC2 and RLS1? I have reviewed the changelog and don't see any major changes. I'm not having any issues with RC2 and wondering if I really need to update. Thanks

No not really, the only reason I would is because its a stable release. Not just a candidate anymore.

Agreed and for some reason, RLS-1 is a tad faster than RC-2. You can boot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then create a nandroid backup of just your data & your sdext (if you have your apps stored on an ext3 partition). Afterwards, if you decide to flash RLS-1, all you have to do after booting to your new home screen is skip the sign-in process, remove the default widgets from all 7 screens and then reboot back into recovery and restore the nandroid you just made of your data & sdext. When you boot to your homescreen, you will find that all of your apps and data are present and your homescreens are as they were when you had RC-2 installed. DO NOT DO THIS if you're going to from RC-2 to RSL-1 G-mode.

Thanks for the info. I haven't partitioned my SD card yet. Why has this Rom gone to the partitioning.

You do NOT have to partition your card to use RLS-1, however, I do not know how many apps and games you will be installing on your device. The CM A2SD script is built-in to Synergy so that it auto-detects an ext3 partition and cause your apps to automatically be stored there upon installation. It's beneficial in freeing up internal storage.

Thanks, i went ahead and partitioned. It only makes sense to have the extra internal room. Thanks for ur help.

Hey guys, I had a quick question on the RC2 God Mode Synergy Rom.
Is there anyway to turn the landscape mode off or flash something to turn it off so it doesn't switch between vertical and horizontal when I'm at my main home screen?
I like to keep the landscape mode available when I use the web browser, games, and certain apps, but the auto rotation when I'm at the home screening is kind of a pain esp. if you are moving around.

How does A2sd work with the stock evo class 2 card? Saw some posts that apps are slow on the slower stock sd cards.

I'm not sure with RLS1+, but there is a flashable zip that disables landscape mode for RLS1.

I have a 16GB class 2 card and I'm very satisfied with it and the speed in which my stuff is accessed. Synergy RLS-1 along with the DTA2SD zip that is found in the Synergy Updater has my device operating smoothly & responsive.

CM6.1 a2sd

Was just curious if a2sd was supported in 6.1 and if so how do you go about configuring it and partitioning your sd card, what settings to use ect? I have a 32gb card in my evo so I have room to spare new to this rom as I was a long time virusrom user and had never given a2sd much thought.
Also is it really needed what's the perks ect. I hate to sound like such a noob but then again that's what I am.

yeah, apps2sd is supported on ALL 2.2 roms. depends on the app though. you will find it in settings<CyanogenMOD settings. and not sure if you need to partition your sd card....honestly the only way you are going to fill your phones memory is if you download over like 300 apps and they all have HUGE cache sizes.
Ok so I now I know how to turn it on any know if I need to set up a partition or not? I know I'll never fill my phone I just like keeping my system clean. Anyone?

[q] cm7 force close

HI
I flashed CM7.0.2.1 the latest stable version. everything was going well.
I changed a setting on ADWex i was using. It forced close now everytime i reboot it force closes immediately so i cant even change the theme or switch back to launcher pro. I finally had everything set nice. so I backed it up and restored to skyraider 3.5 so i could use the phone. before i start guessing and bury myself deeper any suggestions I use ROM Manager and would like to not have to spend hours on this. any help would be great.
Thanks
What did you change on ADW?
Is ADW on your phone storage or SD?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
questionable answer
the ADWx is where the rom goes to. honestly i am not sure i believe the sd storage. as far as the setting i believe it actually a change of theme. it was done on the ex version of ADW not the one that CM comes with if that is any help
fixed
I was able to get to settings, uninstalled adwex and all is well, until i get bored again and start playing around.
Thank you for the effort!!
Pretty sure ADW needs to be on your internal phone storage to work properly.

Agreed. I remember when I first started playing with Apps2Sd I put ADW on the SD and it was acting strange. I don't think launchers work well from the SD.

Question about partitioning.

Alright, so I finally partitioned my SD card in RA recovery. I allocated 1gb to the ext2 then upgraded 2 to sdext3. Then I flashed the Kingdom ROM, but when I look it says I only have 400mb of memory, aka the internal memory. Why didn't it flash onto my partition, and how do I check where my partition is?
Was wondering the same

Where something is stored and how it is used are two different things. Depending on your setup, ext3 will be where your 3rd party apps are stored, however, when an app is running, your device's internal memory is used. Is your device running fast and smoothly?

Ah so if I have 100mb left that's normal? And would you happen to know how I can check my partition through my computer? I know it's partitioned because my normal storage is now only 6.5 gigs.

That will depend on his many apps you've installed and how many are stored internally. As for checking your partitions, you should be able to do it via gparted if you have a Linux system & disk utility via a Mac, but it's been a long time since I've used a Windows PC so I'm not certain. I'm sure their are 3rd party apps available. Have you seen or tried the link2SD app? Check it out here: https://market.android.com/search?q=link2sd&so=1&c=apps

Ok...what on Earth?

So, I've been flashing roms since February, and I am starting to see several random issues all of a sudden.
On a fresh flash of a rom that I have used for a LONG time, I suddenly have force closers on the Weather Unlock animation. My phone reboots randomly (I posted about this issue in rigid detail a few months back). I tried a different Sense 3.5 rom, and I suddenly cannot change certain settings. So, what's going on?
I've also noticed this strange behavior. When I flash from rom to rom, occasionally it will either have the background of the rom before, or the background of the last time that I flashed the same rom. I wonder if "footprints" are being left behind somehow.
And of course, I triple wipe everything, sooo...any opinions/ideas/help?
Using Smelkus 4.3 recovery, by the way.

Remove everything from your SD and format or partion, then if your still having issues go to recovery - other - fix permission and see of that helps. What size and class is your SD?

Well the second thing about the wallpaper that is because you have it set to backup your settings. If you go to settings>privacy check backup then uncheck automatic restore then uncheck backup. So everytime you flash a rom skip through all the start up menus and do what I said above. Having that backup thing checked is linked to your gmail so whenever you signed in it would automatically restore your previous settings

It's a 32gb card, and I don't remember the class. I'll edit my post in a few with that info. But I had those problems before and after my recent format/partitioning of my card. It IS less frequent after the partition, though.

Wow...never thought about that. Strange how it was always checked, but NEVER worked up till recently. It also restores my installed apps, but at a slim chance of success. Usually, I flash, link my email initially, and nothing happens. I've only sren this implemented properly on JB roms, regardless of device.

Are you using a2sd? Anything above a class four and over a certain gig will cause issues. I'm assuming yours is a class ten and that could be some of your issue.

So, you're saying a class 10 card with, say 32 gigs will cause problems with a2sd? Man I never knew that. Thanks for the info since that's kinda what I was about to get.

The reason it doesn't install your apps automatically after you link your email is because you haven't opened the market. Once you open the market app and hit agree it starte installing your apps

The class 10 shouldn't be a problem, but anything more than 16GB I think may be the problem. Wasn't the evo made only for a maximum of 4/8GB??
Also buy a recognised brand (e.g. Sandisk) to reduce any problems.
I have a Toshiba 16GB Class 10 and so far has played nicely. *touch wood*

I think that the Evo was made for a max of 16gb. But it certainly seems like my sd card is the problem. My original 8gb card became corrupted when my phone dropped (yes, it made me cringe, too...it fell pretty hard...), and I thought a 32gb card was the best idea I ever had. Apparently not. Sucks...but I'm not getting a new card.

I am using a2sd. However, my card wasn't always partitioned, and I had some rebooting issues before the card was ever modified. I am not disregarding what you are saying, but I think the problem goes beyond a2sd. I will confirm, however, that I have had more problems from the time I partitioned my card. But the benefits far outweigh the issues. For example, I LOVE the fact that I can flash a new rom and use Titanium Backup to Batch Install all of my apps without starting and stopping to move them to the sd card for more space.
I use an 32 gig class 4 SanDisk and have never had any problems with it. And on another note, if you're partitioned, when you flash a rom, and are on smelkus just do superwipe and clear temp. Files (aka cache, dalvik cache, and temp. Files) then when you flash your new rom all your apps will still be there as that partition hasn't been wiped. As long as the rom you use supports a2sd. All you have to get back is app data. a nice feature that I love, and have never had a problem with so far.

Class 4, eh? I guess that the true problem really is the class of the SD, as those have mentioned.

[Q] Cant move apps to sd card

My problem is just as the title says. First time this has happened to me, wondering if anyone else is experiencing this as well.
Oh btw it is a 2gb one and it says sd-c026 taiwan on the back. Could it be faulty? But i can transfer regular files to and from it.
Maybe, I had an issue with CWM not recognizing a particular sdcard.
Also I can't move App to sdcard with lupus jb kernal for some reason.

No doubt it's a real hassle when our internal space is small. There really seem to be too many possible causes, sucks. But i'm on the turbo kernel.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Thanks for all of your responses. The problem has since been solved after I had flashed a new rom. I must say, I was fascinated by the smoothness of gb roms after having chased the latest versions of android for the past idk how long.
