I have a problem
I flashed the new update, wiped the cache and dalvik cache and rebooted. then i went back and tried to install the Mason kernel like i always do, but for some reason my phone won't take any kernels now. It reboots fine but when i go to look to make sure the kernel took in the about the phone setting it is not the kernel i just flashed. I am stumped on what is going on here. Can anyone help me out on this please?

I didn't have any problem installing a new kernel (SavagedZen 2.2.1).
I am having a problem with the camera. I press the camera icon and the rear camera displays on the screen, I then switch to the front cam and the camera crashes, then every time I try to use the camera app it crashes, so I have to select clear data from the applications screen in order to get the rear camera to work again.

This has actually always been a bug/problem with cm based ROMs.

Yep, go to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. Go to mount and mount everything (just to make sure), flash the kernel, wipe cache and dalvik, turn the phone, and then boot normally. It should work.

I tried all of that and it did not work. I mounted everything except the sd-ext, it would not allow it. Then i went to power off and it said "Oops...something went wrong! Please check the recovery log!"
So now what?
I also have noticed it won't restore any of my previous backups, says the same as above about something going wrong. I don't know what is going on.

That's not sounding good. Does your phone boot at all? Have you tried a "superwipe"? There's an option for it in Smelkus's modified AmonRA. Also turn on signature verification.
The funny thing is, the phone boots with no problem at all....I have never encountered this before. I use ROM manager to install my ROMS. I use phillyfinest to wipe all and also kings wipe script, and just for safe measures i run caulkins wipe script. The only error i see when i try to change kernels is my wifi won't work, everything else does. This is very frustrating not being able to flash a different kernel. Any suggestions?
I did the same thing and it worked!! Maybe try to reinstall again?

Looks like I got a little too crazy with this and accidentally deleted /system/etc/media_profiles.xml
Give me a minute to post up a quick patch, and I'll update the first post with full working ROMs as well.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I knew I should have take a closer look at the list of files being deleted.
edit--
Flashable zip is attached.

It was updated 4 days ago. It's not going to die anytime soon. I update the experimental release every Friday/Saturday.
Is it just my phone that does this?
Every time i reboot it i lose my accounts other then gmail.

[highlight]I will probably update this less frequently, maybe once or twice a month. I no longer use my Evo 4G.[/highlight]
LeWa ("Happy/Funny Frog") comes to us from China and is a MIUI-inspired ROM based on CyanogenMod 7. It's an incredibly lightweight ROM made primarily for yesteryear devices comparable in specifications to our Evo 4Gs. Don't let its sub-100 MB size fool you, though. It's still filled to the brim with features, such as built-in power and battery management, CPU control, and memory clearing. I can confidently recommend LeWa for daily use.
This ROM is stable out of the box. I try to keep my modifications to a minimum and stick to the spirit of the original work.
Stable

Tips
- Double-tapping the lock icon on the lock screen will bring up music controls.
- Press volume-down and menu at the same time to take a screenshot.
- Pressing on the data usage statistics in the notification panel will bring you to a screen where you can slide to the right to change your "Monthly data limit."
- Pressing the green orb in the notification panel will kill all open apps. Holding it will bring up its whitelist. (You likely want to add your input methods (Swype, Swiftkey, etc) to this.)
- You may put *.apk files in /sdcard/APK/ to have them automatically install when flashing the ROM.
- If you're a chatterbox, be sure to turn on SMS splitting in Message Settings.
This is a pretty solid ROM. Its official versions are released for both MDPI and HDPI devices, and most of the devices that LeWa supports are on the weaker side of the hardware specification spectrum. As such, there should not be any lag or resource issues with the Evo 4G. Indeed the vanilla ROM weighs in at ~75 MB and with my additions, it weighs in at ~95 MB.
Notable Changes

- QuickPic replaces stock gallery app.
- MX Player has been added.
- Mi FileExplorer replaces LeWa's "SD Manager."

- CMParts has been added.
- Battery Bar has been added.
- PDroid has been added.
- MIUI Torch has been added.
- Modded News & Weather has been added.

Known Issues
Ordered by descending priority.
[!] [highlight]The ICS lock screen available in the theme manager will ruin your day. Do not download it.[/highlight] There are multiple reports of it causing the phone not to boot.
[-] Localization could use some more work, especially certain poorly translated strings.
[!] correction is unknown | [?] unable to confirm bug | [-] correction coming soon
Acknowledgements
If I missed you, send me a PM.
Swiperat - remove roaming indicator
ajrty33 - auto-connect to data network without having to go to APN settings
LOTK & Team DIRT - I learned quite a bit tinkering with Deck's ReLoaded.
LeWa OS Team - developing the user experience that's built into this ROM
CyanogenMod Team - developing drivers, APIs, frameworks, and resolving many device-specific issues, all of which made porting this a breeze.
AOSP - developing the core components and framework of Android.
Honorable Mentions
MIUI - provide much of the design inspiration that goes into LeWa OS
MIUI.us, Swiperat, et al. - major kudos to you guys for your work on porting MIUI. I can only imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would be to port one of these ROMs without a CyanogenMod base. You bros deserve special recognition for that.
Common Concerns and Queries
Please read through these before asking for help.
- Circaflex offers some guidance to get Visual Voice Mail (VVM) working.
- s8perman confirms that this ROM works with a2sd.
- Backlight is activated on incoming message, and there doesn't appear to be a way to disable that functionality.
- RockoDev Beats Audio can be added by downloading and flashing "ICS & GB BeatsAudio"5This is probably the biggest update so far. The LeWa SystemUI is finally up to my standards in stability (it had issues before, such as choppy animations and erratic behavior when moving the notification bar). I changed the settings around quite a bit to hopefully make them a little more intuitive. I removed a couple problematic settings. I also removed the Gexin service (aka Free Messaging Service, aka Wasage). I replaced LeWa's native SD Manager with Mi FileExplorer.
At the moment, the only difference between the experimental release and the primary release is the base. It might be this way for a while, provided the LeWa developers don't make any drastic changes that necessitate further testing.

To get to it, go to Settings->Application->Privacy & Permissions
It should also alert you to optionally adjust permissions whenever an application is installed.
Also raising the 30 MB/month limit in the Data Monitor to 2 GB by default was a huge PITA for me (probably would be a breeze to experienced Java programmers) but it should be "future-proof" as well.
