Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM v1.6 | Eclair | *Updated | 6/30/10*

so does 4g work with this new update ? any confirmations?

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM v1.6 | Eclair | *Updated | 6/30/10*

So is anyone still testing or did everyone go back to 1.5 lol....there has been alot of confusion and mis-information out there....1st we were using Calkulins, but it appears his wimax update was faulty. Neo has now updated his wimax update, and it appears to be working. Has anyone tried it?

lol, I had to go check that place out....these ppl got my ROM at the top of the page, lol

Looking at Titanium Backup, it has an option to backup system settings. Anyone know what that is?

I'm just trying to backup my apps, alarms, bluetooth, and email/facebook/twitter. I can see there is an option to backup apps in Titanium Backup, and I hope it works. I am addicted to the Shapewriter keyboard and it isn't available in the market anymore, so a backup is important.

Anyone know about this or does everyone just pretty much reinstall everything and reconfigure alarms/bluetooth/email/facebook/twitter every time they flash a ROM?

the one I have in post #2?

right now it's not possible....has to be done separately....it's really not that big of a deal

Okay, I didn't have this problem before. It just creeped up on me. I installed Calku's WiMax update (was using the other guy's version before when it came out) and I hope it is unrelated but now I cannot install anything from the Market. I get a insufficient storage message. But yet, my internal storage has 342 MB avail and SD card has 5.6GB. Any ideas?

I read that was happening because the wimax update did not completely finish, you reboot into recovery then the update finishes, then problems is gone

Out of curiosity how come adfree was removed from this rom?

because when visiting PPCGEEKS.com from the phone, it blocks the ads that support this great site.

If you're trying to install it from the handset, I ended up copying the link and pasting it into DroidFTP (got it from the market)

I set up a new shortcut:
Name: OMJ
Host: up.ppcgeeks.com
Port: 21
user: anonymous
pass: (your email)
BaseDir: /EVO/Users/OMJ/ROMs

CLICK SAVE then connect. So you don't have to enter this information everytime you want to download a new ROM. long press the file you want to download, then download.

For some reason ROM Manager is grayed out for me and I can't download any ROMs, but I've been able to reboot into recovery, which is what I really care to do anyways....hence DroidFTP is utilized for all my ROM downloads. I hope this helps others...unless i'm the only one that can't use ROM Manager to download the ROMs...in that case, i feel like an idiot lol

good info for those that need it...thx

I could only get 800k dl using tether before (no 4g here), now I am getting 1.8mb to 2.2mb dl speeds. The screen is snapier than before but the dl speeds is what makes me very happy. Thanks OMJ You Rock!!!

thx...I'm getting much better speed on 3g too :)

Enjoy!

I didn't abandon ship, still rocking 1.6r and loving it. The write to /system issue remains but no biggie imo. Thanks again. :notworthy:

Surprises?! I LOVE surprises! :toothy7:

To access system files ive just been booting into recovery and doing work from there on them and it seems to be working. Just had to ask for super permission again in ADB.. no biggie

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM v1.6 | Eclair | *Updated | 6/30/10*

Have a great time mr. super chef, I'm chillin on 1.5, probably going to take the plunge so that I can fix the grounding issue, though I love my 4G in houston.. See yaz

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM v1.6 | Eclair | *Updated | 6/30/10*

i still dont understand how to your rom manager really. i just opened it and went to go a rom back up, and it booted to the exclamation screen and stayed. so i had to do it manually thru my computer. i know theres a way to just flash the radio and wimax update onto 1.6 rather than flashing all of 1.6r right?

i just dont get exactly how to flash it thru rom manager or manually. but i can do a whole rom fine lol. if that makes sense. this is so much different from wm

I assume you have the radio and wimax zips on your card?
Then just select them as if they were a rom.
I'd do radio, reboot, wimax reboot.
Wimax may take out your recovery image so you'll need to reflash Clockworkmod if it does.
