Nice!!! Glad to see you're on it. Would love to have a dual booting phone to match my dual boot Nook!
I've been checking the market on a regular basis. BootManager has been updated to 1.3, and the Evo 3D is now on the list of phones it works on. I haven't had time to download it and try it, but that's definitely on my to do list for tomorrow. It's $2.99, btw. If anyone else gets it working, please post. Now if we only had a working version of CM7...
has anyone installed this and had it working?
Sounds very cool!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is old, but yes, it does work. Currently my phone rom is SupraROM but I can multiboot into MIUI and CM7. It installs other ROMs on SD card so they might be a bit sluggish depending on the speed of your SD card. My class 10 one has a hard time for the first couple of seconds into booting but afterwards its as smooth as a regular non-sd ROM.

It works for me! I'm running a 16gb Class 4 card from Sprint and once I do the built-in SD tweak it runs fine! They just updated the UI on the app and made it simpler to use!-
I tried this APP on my old EVO 4G & everytime i would boot a ROM from my SD Card, I would have tons of FC's. deleted the app.

Coming from an EVO4G, I've been pretty used to App2SD script being built into the roms and being able to load all my apps on sd for more space. When would we be seeing this on Evo3D? I realized that the custom recovery after S-off, I don't see an Partition SD type setting.

IMO the EVO 3d already has more than enough built-in space for apps

I have an app for that!
Why?
The internal memory along with stock Apps2sd should be good enough.
I couldn't imagine needing it.
Just move apps to your sd card that aren't there by default in the settings

not the same thing, the built in one I have found does not work as well as the dt app2sd or the cm app2ext mods.
With a gig of storage and stock A2SD, you'll be fine. I never understood the hate for stock A2SD.
A2sd has one real benifit IMO. You don't have to reload everything after installing a new ROM.its all just there.

thats not how it works... the data is saved to ext2/3/4 partition... not the entire install. if you wipe, you will still have to restore.
So here's what I do. I install TiBu, and install link2SD. I go to settings in TiBu, and make sure installs all to internal. Open up l2sd, and select ext4 (its what i use). Go into l2sd settings, and make it auto link everything. Reboot. Restore all apps with data with TiBu, and at the same time link2SD restores all...
However, I'm running into a problem with ROMs where I can't see the apps after reboot.

Can anyone tell me why Cynogenmod, MIUI, and Vanilla Gingerbread all have problems reading my SD card? I REALLY want Vanilla Gingerbread but it won't read my card like the others. It flashes but keeps saying "SD damaged." It won't let me use it. I reboot, do a battery pull, and do a hard reset but nothing works! It works fine on my PC. It works fine on Evil Fascination and Community Rom! I hate stock! Any help is appreciated! I've only been an Android user for 2 months now and still learning!
No offense dude but do a search.

It's a known issue that has been popping up with the latest vanilla gb and CM7 roms. It is not an issue with the v2 rom of VGB or earlier.
nobody really knows for sure. I would just stay away from those roms until it gets figured out...atleast I am.
Has anyone tried v 2 of jt's kernel? He claims that it helps with the SD card issue

Well, I bypassed the SD card errors. Now it was getting gapps to flash. I just gave up and went back to stock. Also, for some reason, my Nandroid backups won't work. It says it has an error restoring system. I'm sick of using titanium bu just to get my apps back. Ill continue to try different things if Nandroid would just work. Anyone know why it doesn't work?

I have been running the powerwashed eh09 gb rom with tks kernal for a day now... I would tred lightly with the cm7,aosp gb roms....I read on rootzwiki some are still having sd cards fried.
I'm not sure about the fried sd-card on CM7 but CM7 has been working great for me and highly recommend it. Especially, with the nightlies.
I could never successfully run CM7 or any other MTD based rom. CWM would never mount my SD card and CM7 constantly told me my card was damaged.

Thanks for this reply because it seems everytime I warn folks about those roms, somebody will chime in how well it works for them. Which is perfectly fine but in reality its a crap shoot and cm7,aosp,miui may work for some, but fry others sd cards.
Just wondering, JJHunter, do you use the sdcard that came with the phone or did you buy a new one?

The SD card issue was due to a kernel change that was reverted. There is no SD card issue now.

Yes I know... but I still wont recomend those roms to new users for the simple fact they could easily flash the wrong version and bork a sd card.
I'm running nils business sense 3.6 version 6.2. Because of the problem with the ota update and ra recovery I switched to Rom manager and clockworkmod touch recovery. I installed the touch recovery through the patched Rom manager found in the development thread for the Rom, rebooted into recovery and then back into ICS per the instructions in the thread. The clockworkmod folder is on my external "sd card 2" directory. All seems to be functioning fine with the exception of one thing; the recovery is useless. It reads the folder directory of my sd card, but when I try and flash anything including a different Rom it says "no files found". It sees my sd card, but won't actually see any flashable zip files. Can anyone tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong or some way to fix this. I don't have access to a computer and need to have at least a working recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

1. Don't use CWM. Causes funky things to happen.
Install Amon Ra. I have a PH98IMG.zip version on my goo.im page linked in my signature. Place on root of your SD and flash in boot loader. Then you can flash ROMs.
Amon RA and the Rom I'm using aren't fully compatible because of an ota updater that was added to the Rom in a recent update. Most people from what I can see switched to cwm and have had no issues. So switching back to Amon RA isn't something I really want to do.
Anyway, I had a why not moment and copied all my pictures from my external sd to the internal sd and formatted the external card with the erase option on the phone. For some odd reason that worked. I added the zip files back to the external card and cwm actually read them. So I guess my last ditch effort actually worked. For anyone else who may be having this problem hopefully this can be of some use. Formatting the external sd card seems to fix it.

Yeah it's supported, but it doesn't function properly with the auto update app that he has included with the latest release of the Rom.

When you run out of battery on the rezound you'll regret not having Amon Ra
I've got the extended battery and I'm actually getting about an hour more of battery life since upgrading to the latest Rom, installing the cubed kernel, and setting the governor to smartassv2 and installing clockwork. I'm not easy on my phone either. It's my primary device. I rarely use a computer, and use it for my internet too. I use anywhere from 20gb to 100gb in a month. Always have and always will until Verizon finds a way to cut off any way of keeping unlimited.

He meant that if your battery completely dies, then you are stuck with a brick, unless you have another phone to charge that battery battery in.

CWM won't charge the battery with the phone turned off, so if it runs completely dead, you won't be able to get the phone turned on to charge the battery.
Thanks for the heads up. I've got a universal battery charger that I use for that. My incredible charging port died on me so I invested in one to switch between two batteries. Do you know if there is a fix in the works?

Nils, when I installed your patched version of Rom manager I rebooted the phone and the market auto updated Rom manager to the latest version. It seems to function ok from what I can tell, am I ok, or should I go back to the patched version?
Also I noticed that backups freeze often in cwm, but after three attempts it backed everything up. Is that normal?
Thank you for all your work btw. I have always loved all your roms. I either run yours or cm. As soon as I become employed I'll be donating.

Your close.
The ROM Manger in my thread is the last working version. The one in the market has problems just like you described. I would uninstall the one from the market but first mark it to not auto update. Then reinstall the one from my thread and do not update it.
The CWM from my thread is the one you need to install since it has the battery fix. Functions the same as the one RM installs just does not have the dead battery problem.
So I rooted this phone a few months ago and it originally had Eclair 2.1. I did some research on here and found a guide to root and first installed CM7 and then ICS Passion. Last night I had some issue with my Firefox browser. And I had to reboot it. Then it just shut down down on me and got stuck in a boot loop. I did a quick back up and tried to reboot it from recovery and it's still stuck in the loop. I then did a system restore from that back up, nothing. I did notice that it won't mount the /emmc or /data says it can't mount /emmc. When I try to go to restore anything from the internal SD card it Says there is some kind of error. Now when I try to boot it, it just shows "android" logo and is stuck in a boot loop there. Yeah I'm pretty new at this but I don't know what else I can do. Please help. Thanks in advance
Update: so I was able to revert back to factory settings and still kept ICS on it. The only major thing that I had changed before this incident was I downloaded Beats Audio Driver Root from the Google play store. I should've backed up, I know, bad NooB.
But can anyone tell me about the /emmc and /data folders or whatever not wanting to mount or read? Is that because of the driver?

I've got to tell you that you dodged a huge bullet here. What was about to happen to you is the dreaded Encryption Unsuccessful bug that has been plaguing the Vibrant, Captivate and a slew of other devices. It is totally fixable. There is a workaround using your External SD but as for a cure, there is none. Some people have miraculously come out of it, but no one knows why and it is not reproducible.
Here is my guide for installing ICS from Éclair. Read the whole thread from start to finish. It is only 19 pages and there is a crap-ton of information in there. From Bootloaders, to ROMs, to the EU bug.
You can also go into my Repo thread or N00B_IN_N33D's Bible for any files that you may need.
I see you are in Cincinnati. If you ever need some hands on help, shoot me a PM and I might be around to help. When I first got into Android, I had a Motorola and joined XDA. Had a few guys hand-hold me threw some things but there were about 4 guys that were local in the boards. So that was a bit reassuring.
Skinzy98 - I took your advice on upgrading to JellyBean and it's pretty groovey. I appreciate the advice on that. Of course I did some dumb stuff first: I got all the files on my external SD card and forgot to put them on my internal SD card and then proceeded to do my wipe for factory reset, cache, and the delvik cache. Genius I know right?
Luckily I did a backup first but I got stuck in the boot loop. And as luck would have I still had the zip files from I originally rooted this phone from eclair to cm to ICS. So I tried the ICS zip... Boot loop again... Then I tried the cm9 zip and by George I got somewhere with it lol. And am now sending this with jellybean 4.2.1. I believe I am now an expert on how not to do this lol.
I did experience some initial difficulty with installing jellybean tho. The first time there was some error. The second time it got stuck on the a sung Vibrant load screen. And third time's a charm and bit worked out wonderfully.

I haven't needed to use the GPS. Come to think of it, it didn't come with the AngryGPS app that I had on ICS Passion. I had no problems with gps with that app. The only time I have used the GPS since upgrading to JB is while I was using the GasBuddy app which uses my GPS location to find nearby gas stations and show me the pricing. What can I say? I'm a penny pincher. It seemed to follow me alright, but I can neither confirm nor deny without using an actual GPS app. Anyone know where I can get and how upload a copy of AngryGPS? I'm all ears.
Update:
Nevermind I found one a really good one. It's dead on where I'm at. Only took a couple of seconds to locate me. I am currently having no issues. I can test it out tomorrow on my way to work and so forth.
The GPS worked great the whole time. The only issue j experienced was trying to wake it up. It just wouldn't pull up my lock screen when it the power button. Not sure if that's an issue j can fix or not.
