It would take almost as much time to just re-download and install everything as it does to go through everything on Titanium Backup. On every single thing (ok, just the applications, still that's a lot for me) that it restores from my backup I have to click 'install,' and then click 'done' when it's done...and of course, 'install' is the left button and 'done' is the right button, so I can't even just mindlessly tap the same spot on the screen.

Protip: the donate version lets you do batch restores without having to interact with it for each app.

They ARE in sequential order. For some reason its showing the wrong time that the messages have been received! For instance, its showing the sender's messages exactly 5 hours behind. However, my clock on phone is correct. It's almost as if it's not adjusting for GMT (even though we're both on the same network, in the same timezone, the same house!) Or something. But I can't tell what it really is.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

I had this happen when geolocation via wifi networks put me in Shenzhen, Glasgow, and then some city in Germany. Meanwhile, I was sitting at my desk at my office just outside of Seattle. I can't remember whether it changed the phone's time or not when it did that, though.

Looks like there's a new version of Amon Ra for the Evo. 2.1.1. There are a bunch of changes, but what people are probably going to care most about are that it supports the new partition layout for people with new phones/bootloaders and that you don't have to have zip files in the root of your SD card any more. You can actually flash them from subdirectories.

Regarding the Evo, it looks like Amon Ra's recovery has gotten another small update to 2.2.1. Now you can select what you want to include in your backup, so you're not wasting space by backing up your cache or whatever.

Question about the new Amon_RA Recovery for an EVO. Is it safe to use with a 0004 build EVO? When I was rooting this thing I remember there being a disclaimer saying "ONLY USE AMON_RA 1.8.0. DON'T USE ANYTHING ELSE, AND DON'T USE CLOCKWORK". I'm alright with 1.8.0 but if I could update it and be safe I rather do that.

That was really just a warning so people didn't use earlier versions of Amon Ra. The newer ones are fine and have more features than 1.8.0, so there's no reason not to upgrade at this point.

Also, for the GPS fix, I was told you can dial a phone number and type in your MSL number to update the device and resolve the issue. Anyone know about this?

I'm not sure where it stores its GPS data for this to work, but, yeah, that's apparently what you need to do, though it has to be from a Sense ROM since CM doesn't support those dialer codes. From what I've heard, you flash to a Sense ROM (doing a full data/cache/Dalvik cache wipe, of course), enter that code and your MSL, reboot back into the Sense ROM, then boot back into your recovery and either restore a Nandroid backup or wipe and flash a new ROM.

Is there talk of merging these two projects (CM7 and CM7 with Toast kernel & WiMax) into one, or are they going to continue to be separate?

Other than WiMax, what are the benefits/differences of the Toast kernel?

CM7 Nightly 24 is drat near rock-solid stable for me (GPS is flaky at best...but that's my only issue, and Battery Lift is WAY better than CM 6.1)...so I've been lazy about trying this out.

WiMAX will eventually be folded into the CM7 tree, but they're waiting until it's more stable before doing so (I'm guessing at least until they get the weird bugs worked out with the .35 kernel).

Is GPS fixed on CM7 Evo yet? I want to try a non-Sense ROM but I use my phone as a GPS easily as much as I use it as a phone, if not more.

Before you flash CM7, grab your MSL (check the Market for an app called MSL Reader) and go to the phone dialer. Dial ##GPSCLRX# and then put in your MSL when it asks for a password. Let your phone reboot back into your Sense ROM and then boot into recovery and wipe/flash as usual. Just clearing out those GPS settings seems to take care of it.

The voicemail notification problem.

That's a carrier issue that Sense works around somehow. This is the only solution I've ever heard of for it. Basically, you have to swap to another phone and then call to re-initialize your voice mail with it and then swap back to your regular phone (and possibly do a full wipe; I'm not sure).

That's almost certainly going to require a Gingerbread Sense ROM from HTC, which might be a while.

Confirming that CM7 nightly 6 has WiMax and it works great.

Also, if you are having problems with WiMax turning it self of shortly after you turn it on, try uninstalling SwitchPro widget. Cyanogenmod has Notification power widget built in and you can add a 4G button on it by going to:

Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Inteface->Notifaction power widgets-> widget buttons

Now you can toggle 4G on and off in any App by bringing down your notification draw and pressing the button.

I haven't had a problem with SwitchPro, but I have had an issue with turning off WiMAX data, which seems to kill all my other data connections, including wifi. They look like they're connected, but they can't transfer anything.

Make sure you do a full wipe (including data) if you do this or you could end up with some weird issues. Also, the Google apps aren't included with CM7, so after you flash it, you'll need to flash the gapps package, which you should be able to find here.

Edit: And, as always, do a nandroid backup first, just in case.

Did you use Titanium Backup to restore app data from a non-Gingerbread ROM? I hear that can cause issues. If you didn't, try doing a backup, then wipe cache/Dalvik cache/data/system and reflash (and don't restore Titanium Backup app data).

Reading through XDA, it looks like there's a possibility of it triggering an anti-fraud mechanism in Sprint's network. Nothing to do with the phone, you just call and ask for an HRL Refresh and it's back to working again.

EDIT: Happened to me, your first phone call will automatically call Sprint and they'll fix it for you.

Any links to a rooted version of the Evo 3D OTA? I don't really want to update the hboot unless I have to since I'm still on 1.30.

I think this is the latest OTA. It's a rooted stock ROM, anyway.

And as far as the bootloader goes, it wouldn't be a bad idea to flash the ENG bootloader. If you end up setting S-ON for whatever reason (to take it in for service, I guess), re-flash to a SHIP bootloader since these phones won't boot with S-ON and an ENG bootloader.

- wimax broken for now
- keyboard all massive. i use Gingerbread keyboard from the market
- taking 3d images and video not working

So I flashed Warm 2.3 release 1 on my Evo 3D, and why can't I download all of my apps? I did some googling, and the issue is with cache filling up, so why is it doing that on Warm when everything was just fine on stock?

EDIT:

to clarify, I rooted using HTC's official bootloader unlocker, and installed TWRP via fastboot to recovery, used TWRP to wipe everything, formatted the SD card, and then even ran the warm rom teams special formatter image, and then I flashed warm rom (this was all from twrp launched from fastboot, which I know isn't totally necessary since Warm uses the stock kernel)

From there, just signed into my account, and once they start downloading from backup on the market, cache just fills up and it fails after a couple of apps finish installing.

It's a bug with the newest Market. Honestly, your best bet is to back up user apps and app data with Titanium Backup, flash, and then restore them because the alternative is letting the cache fill up, booting back to recovery, wiping the cache, and then going back to install the rest of your apps one by one.
