Short FAQ

• Q:Screen wont come back on, the buttons light up but i have no screen?!
  A: Try taking out your sdcard. If it works you need to reformat your sdcard and whatever you do dont use clockworkmod!
• Q: Im getting lockups and have to pull the battery to restart?
  A: Easiest way that seems to do the trick: Goto: Evervolv Toolbox -> Performance -> Processor -> change Min Freq to 384Mhz
  A: Or: change the governor from ondemand to smartassv2

• (latest are posted to mongoosehelix twitter page) or dl here 5-20-release (thanks TuSKan for the mirror)
• Gapps are NOT included in the rom. Reasons for this is 1) smaller upload for me 2) Gapps seem to be the source of most peoples problems. This way you can flash whatever version or package you want/works best (or even make your own custom gapps package)

• About the included apps2sd see: ->here<-

• Source: https://github.com/Evervolv/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k
• 2.2.0a3: http://d-h.st/TD0
• 2.2.0a4: http://d-h.st/1xR

• Request fill week:
  • Notification toolbox now QwikWidgets with easier widget reordering
  • Long press back to kill apps
  • Trackball Alert Patch to custom colors using lilhermits app
• Toolbox and Themes removed from app drawer: now access through settings
• Androidian theme is now mostly complete and usable.
• Revert some linaro patches to try and fix some weirdness

• Fix bootanimation
• Cleanup to honeycomb lockscreen
• finishing touches to androidian theme

• main thing here is camcorder, native omx encoding is working but decoding is still broke so you can record videos but cant play them back. Issues: video is capped at 15fps so it is a little choppy, recorded video is rotated 90 degrees
• usb tether support: not native, using the motorola usb app not included (push to /system/app then the toggle in settings will work) i'll probably never include this app in the build since it runs as a service and that bothers me
• be sure to check out new options in the evtoolbox (lockscreen and interface) and the new evtips widget
• and get the new gapps installer from bexton

• Forgot to bump the version so its still a4
• probably 200+ new commits here. Vast majority do not concern n1. but thought it was worth mentioning
• bump IMM76L
• surfaceflinger hacks: make ui smoother (error in makefile prevented them from being turned on before)

• lockscreen 'wave' animations will follow the unlock around (not just go right)
• 180 degree (upsidedown) rotation support
• kernel updated: kgslv3.8, tiny rcu optimizations, autogroup, bfqv3r2, smartassv2, armv7 changes from caf
• newer adreno libs: in combination with kernel updates should make ui noticeably smoother (note: not backward compatible with any pre a4 kernels including tiamat)
• updated cli tools: htop v.9, busybox updated 1.20.1, a2sd cleanup: checkext should work better

• browser features (incognito / max tabs)
• notification toolbox brightness widget fixes
• kernel update: sleep of death seems resolved built inline with googles gcc per https://github.com/Evervolv/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k
• camera fixes (rapmv78)

• ZIP: http://goo.im/devs/evervolv/20120507/Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0a3-passion.zip
• TARBALL: http://goo.im/devs/evervolv/20120507/Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0a3-passion.tar.bz2

• Bulgarian keylayout, Dutch dictionary added
• working google backup/restore (RMerlin)
• Volwake/music controls can now be used concurrenly
• battery percent icon by default
• lockscreen sound toggle icon now updates properly
• bluetooth tethering (untested)
• attempt to resolve auto button backlights being too bright in low light
• audio files have been restructured. you might have to reset your ringtone / notification settings (not needed if you wipe)
• kernel update sha/memcpy optimizations one ondemand gov update (per my wip19 branch)(been using for a week with no issues)

• merge android 4.0.4
• finish merge for omx in framework (still not working, falls back to sw)
• removed barcode patch from camera (more stable pictures)(so no panorama,video or barcode now)

• rewrote for more awesomeness
• more interactive, asking yes/no questions
• no more symlinks! we are bind mounting everything now

• Wont work with a2sdgui
• a2sd install only needs to be run once. it will continue to work even after full wipes (as long as you dont format /sd-ext)

Available commands are:
install   : sets a2sd flag
remove    : clears a2sd/dc2sd flags
align     : runs zipalign on all apks
fixapk    : runs fix_permissions on all apks
partlist  : shows if ext[3/4] is supported
diskspace : shows disk usage on /sd-ext
cachesd   : sets dc2sd flag
cleancache: clears dalvik-cache
nocachesd : cleancache and clears dc2sd flag
xdata     : bind mount /data to /sd-ext/xdata
noxdata   : clears xdata flag
formatext : format /sd-ext to ext4
checkext  : checks /sd-ext for errors

• most of the heavy lifting is done in the 10apps2sd init.d script a2sd mostly sets flags for 10apps2sd to pickup and respond appropriately
• everything 10apps2sd does is logged to logcat (At the very beginning under the evervolv banner)
• in some cases a2sd will ask if you would like to reboot now. This is just to give you time to read the output of the command you typed. you should always respond 'y' to this question.

• install: moves apps on internal /data/app to /sd-ext/app then removes them from /data/app to free up space and changes the mount point to /sd-ext/app. NOTE: even though the mount point is changed the /data size reported by android will not change. That is just how it is. If you want to see how much space you have type 'df' into terminal emulator and look for the entry /data/app. It will be identical to /sd-ext. (i.e)
  
  Code:

  Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
  ...
  /dev/block/mmcblk0p2      1.4G    123.1M      1.2G   9% /sd-ext
  /dev/block/mmcblk0p2      1.4G    123.1M      1.2G   9% /data/app
  /dev/block/mmcblk0p2      1.4G    123.1M      1.2G   9% /data/app-private
  ...

  EDIT: moving AppData is now supported just choose y when asked.
• remove: does not remove the apps on the /sd-ext partion nor does it move them back to /data it simply removes the a2sd/dc2sd flags so new apps are placed in /data/app instead of /sd-ext/app and the dalvik cache is placed in /data/dalvik-cache instead of /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. Why don't we move the apps back to internal storage? well if you are using a2sd in the first place it is because you had too many apps for interal storage so your /sd-ext/app directory is likely much too large to fit on /data. You will just have to restore the apps you want to use or reinstall them.
  
• cachesd: mounts data/dalvik-cache to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. most people will experince problems with this (i.e. no mic, random reboots). this is not a2sd's fault. dalvik-cache is used very often and doesn't like the lag of being on the sdcard. NOTE: all dalvik-cache commands (cachesd, cleancache, nocachesd) nuke the dalvik-cache and rebuild on reboot making the reboot take longer than usual (just the once after you run the command)
  
• xdata: still highly experimental but basically mounts the entire /data partiton on /sd-ext giving you the entire size of your /sd-ext partition available to data. In this case android will detect the new size of the /data partition and report it correctly. NOTE: doing this will not result in any data loss the /data partition. it is simply cloned into /sd-ext/xdata (as well as any apps in /sd-ext/app) and then xdata is mounted ontop of /data (which just covers it up, preserving the contents). So there isn't too much risk in trying it. but i do warn significant performance loss will be noticed on ...well any sdcard. But high quality class6 or class10 won't be as nocitable.
  
• noxdata: this will revert your phone the the way it was before you ran xdata. so any changes made to the phone while using xdata will be lost.
  
• formatext: formats your /sd-ext partiton to ext4. this will erase everything on it!
