Calling all Evo 4G flashaholics and ROM testers! Boot Manager Pro 3.2.6 is now available for Evo 4G users in the Android Market. It allows an unlimited amount of ROMs to be run from your SD card. You can easily switch ROMs from within the ROM you are currently using.
I would like to make it clear that I am in no way affiliated with the developers of this application and I am not being compensated for posting or maintaining this thread. I would simply like to share my experience with this paid app and provide useful links, etc.

FAQ:
[Q] Do I have to have a class 6 or better SD card to use this?
[A] While a class 6 or better SD card is recommended, I tried it out with the 8GB class 2 SD card that came with the phone. I would say "for best results" (to reduce or eliminate potential lag problems) use a class 6 or better SD card from a reputable manufacturer/seller. Not all SD cards are created equal.

[Q] If I install CM7 or MIUI, how do I get my Google apps like Gmail, etc...
[A] Before you use Boot Manager to install and AOSP based ROM get a copy of gapps here and place it in a folder on your SD card. Once you install CM7 or MIUI Bootmanager will ask if you want to boot into the ROM, "Install zips", or "Done". Select "Install zips" and find the gapps .zip file on your SD card and select it. Leave the wipe check boxes blank and select the slot where your CM7 or MIUI ROM is located. Once complete select the Okay button to reboot into your ROM.

Thanks for moving it over here. I would have originally posted it here but was afraid I would somehow be flamed.
I practically crapped my pants when I found out about this and had to go out and tell the world lol. It rocks and I asked Conap if I could tip off engadget and android central about it.

i read the link in the description from the market, and it says they recommend a class 6 card i have a class 4 16 gig and wondering if it would work??
I'm sure that a faster card is recommended but I was able to install 2 ROMs on the class 2 8GB SD card that came with the phone, and both were very responsive. CM7 and MIUI are lightweight ROMs though, not sure if a Sense ROM would be too slow to use. I say if you have $3 for the app and a card with enough space give it a shot. I have read about class 2 cards outperforming class 6 cards in certain tests, it seems to vary by brand and size for some reason.
I've read about this before but didn't see any results on the EVO. I guess ill give this a shot on my og when I get home.

In their defense, they released a new version on August 12th, 2011. The changelog did not have anything Evo specific, but maybe some of the changes would have solved your issue?
I didn't have any problems loading CM7 and MIUI off a class 2 SD card, Synergy ROMs have a ton of modifications, etc (not a bad thing), this app is not specific for the Evo, so I would not expect this to work for every ROM/Partition/A2SD scenario. Each ROM took about 15 minutes to load initially, but was easy to switch once they were there.

I don't see why not, I will try it out. When I flashed MIUI and CM7 I was able to flash the gapps.zip using the "Install zips" feature. As long as your mod/theme is in a .zip format I think it would. I am installing a 3rd ROM to SD right now, as soon as it is done I will try a theme zip.
If you did not already know, this application requires that you connect to the internet for an authentication check of some sort. A pirated app will not work. With that said, I recommend switching to airplane mode and connecting to WiFi before installing a ROM (if possible). Last night I received a text during installation and it stopped the installation process. I would have had some choice words for the person sending the text if it were anyone other than my Mom.

Ok cool,Where did you find the gapps.zip file for Miui?,I found one but it just has VM in it..Been on this since last night,Wow EVOlvedROM r3chargeD RC1 on Phone,MIUI 1.8.12 in slot 1,SalvageMod v1.3 in slot 2,Smooth on Class 2 Sd card
I purchased this app and am using it with a 16GB class 4. Even though I think is a brilliant idea and a very smart programmer who wrote this program Unfortunately it is a bit slow. Have tried it with many different roms & some take literally up to an hour to install but in no way they are usable for day to day use. Just to play around. only light weight roms that i had good experience with are MIUI 1.7.22 & deck 1.3. other ones like King variations or anything with Sense 3.0 is just to toooooo slow to run off of SD card and you might be disappointed. I am waiting on the developer to add new features to this.....& Yes it does an internet check upon app's startup to look for valid license. otherwise won't run!

now see this is the same card i have, 16 gig class 4, and i love the sense roms like synergy and evolved and the kingdom ports.
ty again bro saved me some money.
I have not experienced the issues some of you are having, not sure what the problem could be. I still think it is worth the $3 just to have a Sense ROM as the base and the ability to easily boot into AOSP based ROMs like MIUI and CM7. You could set it up like this:
PhoneROM: Sense 3.0 ROM
Slot 1 MIUI 1.8.12
Slot 2 CyanogenMod 7.0.3 build 170
Slot 3 MIUI 1.8.19
Slot 4 CyanogenMod 7.1 RC
My coworker is new to ROM flashing and just flashed MIUI on his OG Droid so he is always showing me new themes he found. It is nice to be able to boot into MIUI and pick up the theme out of dropbox and give it a go,
Well I LOVE this app!!!
I have a class 4 - 16gb card
And I put my 7/23 synergy kingdom 3.0 sense rom on the Phone Rom
and then I also have Miui 108190 on rom 1 port.
I havent tried any other rom but Miui runs faster than the 3.0 sense straight from SD card, I have DT apps2sd installed on the miui rom as well, everything works via a2sdgui!!! I have custom sbc kernel installed on MIUI
What i love about the rom is,
At night I put Airplane mode on when i sleep, Boot into Miui, let phone charge on sbc kernel and then boot into Synergy rom with no 10% drain and no missed mms's going into the wrong rom.
Awesome set up in my book i love SBC kernels and theres still none for Gingerbread roms but i love this set up!!
Miui has all apps i still use if i want to play pandora or audible b4 going to bed and ya-ta ya-ta...
Main thing ive learned is the bigger roms should be on Phone Storage... I havent tried anything else... I had synergy rsl 1 on rom 2 but as you all say its laggy...
Miui is Flawless and its cool to add apps2sd and it works!
Anyways im done!
--edit-- of course wifi works in airplane mode so u gotta have wifi for audible and pandora and other such things.
Phone Rom: 7/23 kingdom
ROM 1: latest cm7 nightly
ROM 2: EVO deck
ROM 3: latest miui

i have successfully flashed kernels and fonts into a slot, script manager runs fine in a slot for me,i flashed 2 themes to cm7 and 1 stuck. the other didnt, but i flashed it from another slot, maybe that had something to do with it. ive installed a rom to a slot from another slot and it worked. i have v6 supercharger and kickass kernel tweak and sd speed increase on cm7 in a slot and achieved over 1700 quadrant score. i use a class 4, 16 gb card.
tonight i loaded the latest cm nightly in a slot and it was fine but boot manager said i was on phone rom and i wasnt. when i tried to boot into anything else it said failed boot image so i had to go to recovery and find an update zip in the boot manager folder,(you can use the update from any slot), glad i know about that little trick. it makes me much more willing to try risky stuff.

I installed the rom first and let it boot up then went back in clockwork and installed gapps. Don't know if it matters.

When you say the internal SD doesn't work, do you mean it doesn't show up at all? Or could it possibly be /mnt/emmc?

What version clockwork are you using? I used .08
Installed this last night from a link he sent on twitter. Think its the same version. Only issue i see so far is my sdcard is not showing up. I get sdcard for internal memory but not for my actual card. A message comes up when I insert it saying that one was inserted then it says its safe to remove. Not sure how to mount it. I don't see it in /mnt either.

Calkulin has a nice format all zip (see first post here)that you flash like a rom before flashing a new rom. works good only 1 step instead of many. only thing it doesn't seem to format is Delvik so that has to be done manually but it cuts out a few steps in the rom prep work.
This rom has the same shape icons in the right corner as the vegan roms and the same notification icons as cm rc2. The mounts are sdcard and emmc for external. The res has been changed so some apps wont scale properly. If it wasn't for that I would have kept using it because I prefer the minimal notification icons compared to vegans experimental new icons.

On my tab the internal storage is mapped to /sdcard while /emmc is empty. my external (actual) sdcard is nowhere to be found. settings-storage shows the sdcard as having 13.07gb total. my actual sd card is 4gb so this is confirming its actually the internal memory. All the Vegan roms showed my sdcard as mounted at /sdcard2. was just curious as to how I should go about mounting my sdcard so i can access it? I have no issues with this memory mounting setup just curious how to get my card to be mounted. Can i type something in a terminal to mount it?
I realize that the vegan series is a moddified version of cm and this is an attempt to be true cm tweaked to run on our tabs and that some things are gonna be different. So if I am missing something with the sdcard mounting please let me know. I think Drod2169 does great work and have loved rubix on my X for months now.
I jumped on this rom from Bitrix and my sd card reads exactly the same as it did before as sdcard while my internal is emmc. It seems as if it's not liking the change from your previous association to this new association of internal/external storage. Were you using a pre-Gingerbread rom before? If so check out this link for the association of storage files...this may help
I also use rootexplorer and have no problems accessing/copying/moving files etc.
I was on Calkuins beta, then wiped and installed vegan ginger experimental 3/8/11. After it started and loaded apps from market Drod2169 sent me a link to this one on twitter so I wiped and installed this. Maybe that the kernel didn't install right our something.will try to redownload and try again.

It is cm 7 rc2 I say unofficial release because it may be changed slightly before they officially announce its release. If you don't want it you don't have to use it, I just thought I would post it for people that do.
So. It turns out that if I knew how to read I could have fixed my problem a while ago. The first post says right on it that it was updated to fix sdcard problem. The version I had was from before this "fix". Downloaded updated one and installed. All is well. Market seem good so far all items are mounting speed seems good. Don't use youtube so cant comment on video but flash works on the sites i've tried it on. Thanks Drod2169 for giving us some more of your time.
I'm curious as I've ran bittrix's unofficial and several of gojimi's Ginger vegan. Do installed apps show up on the market under My Apps? On every other Ginger rom I've tried, Market-My Apps just shows nothing. Love gingerbread but it makes it a pain trying to keep apps up to date. Also does purchasing work, or does vending FC when trying to?
Thanks
Just got my T-Mobile G2X on October 18. My very first Android phone!
Played with it stock for two days, then backed it up, rooted it and flashed the latest CyanogenMod.
After installing about a dozen apps from the App Store and getting things nice and settled, I noticed that startup for my G2X was pretty slow, maybe around one minute? So, I plugged it into USB and ran Diskeeper. Told me fragmentation on the G2X internal drive was 1.41 (very high).
There is conflicting information out there about whether defragging an Android internal flash drive makes any difference. I shut down my G2X, restarted, then connected to USB and defragged the internal flash.
Boots to the lock screen in 22 seconds.
Never had to do that on my G2x and i'm running Cm7 Stable. And i can honestly say that boot-up was always less than 20 secs.
I think it may be a placebo effect since CM7 doesn't use the internal storage as the main storage, plus mine always boots in about 20 seconds.
Actually, mine did take a long time to startup. Maybe it was because I had done so much to it in a short period of time.
Just turned my phone off and timed it, exactly 20 seconds to lock screen. Running CM7 177 nightly.

O.K., so to update, I download the latest CM7 .ZIP to my SD card, then from ROM manager do Install from SD Card.
This will install the new CM7 firmware while keeping my phone's flash data intact.
Am I correct?
Another thing to remember, you can't use windows tools to defrag, (which personally I don't see the point in defragging a linux file system.) The filesystem that is used by android on our phones is ext4. (ext3 for stock) Windows can't even read the filesystems for the most part, so all you did was defrag the internal sd card memory, (which on cm7 is at /mnt/emmc), didn't do anything with the filesystem.
Android, especially on a new install, takes a while to settle down. You usually can't gauge speed for a day or two, because you need to fully create the dalvik-cache. Once that happens, then see how fast it loads up.

Once you flash CM7 for the first time onto your phone, you have to also flash the Google apps because they don't come with CM7, but you only have to do that once. When you flash a nightly you still keep all your apps including Google apps.

You don't need to defrag a Linux-based system. The internal memory that application saw as being fragmented was likely the "internal sdcard" partition which has nothing to do with your system booting.
When you flash a new rom, the first boot takes significantly longer because it has to build the dalvik cache. Its only on the first boot that it takes that long, or possibly on the boot after installing or restoring several apps. All subsequent boots will be much quicker. Mine boots in less than 20 seconds and I have several dozens of apps installed.

O.K., so, I've already flashed CM7 7.1.0.1 (Oct 11). I installed the Google Apps after that, and two T-Mobile apps (from .apk) off my backup.
So now if I flash Nightly 177 over my existing install, I keep all my existing apps. Do I use ROM Manager to update to Nightly 177, or do I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and flash Nightly 177 from there?
When I tried to download from ROM Manager, I got a popup that said "install additional update zips off the sd card?" I can't find any explanation for that - what is it asking for and I do need it?

The last stable release still does not support HDMI.
Does Nightly 177 support the G2X's HDMI interface?
FYI, the first boot will always take long because the system has to build the cache, I think. Something like that
Any reboots following the initial boot should be fairly quick
Hi Guys,
I'm running the 21y update for my G2x and not Cyanogen MOD. Maybe Cyanogen Mod 7 is stable on a G2x, but CM9 is awful on my Dell Streak 7 (much better after dropping trebuchet 0.1 and switching to ADW Launcher), so I'm apprehensive about trying it. However, it takes roughly 3 minutes to boot my phone and it's very annoying. Is it possible I've configured it to rebuild my dalvik cache at every boot? How would I check that? Any other suggestions? Is there a boot log with the program being loaded and the load times?
Thanks,
Christian Blackburn
FOR TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT WHILE I AWAIT MY REPLACEMENT PHONE.
This is a alpha stage port of the SuperOSR or super open source rom. It is developed by the super team. Here is there description quoted from their web page
8.6-AW SuperAosp Samsung Galaxy S
Notapor superatmel "June 10, 2011, 16:02
SuperAosp
Special thanks to the creator of the theme inexus from which I was inspired to give a graphic touch to the rom.
This rom (not a mod) has been developed entirely from the source of Google and very little of Cyanogen framework.
Thanks to Cyanogen and all his staff for the contributions received.
This rom I have installed three terminals, a free Poland, and two orange, one with a month and another one day, the three smoothl.
I used Ricardo's cm7 rom to port it to our device.
I did not hellraise as that didn't work for this one, But I have ported this rom to another device so was aware that the CM7 files and SuperOSR files are very compatible.
I like to think that SuperOSR is a colorful and interactive CM7 that is easy to use. Instead of CM7 settings you have supsettingsV20
A LIL ABOUT ME
This is not my first rom, but I have only had the phone for one day before making Rom. I have modded and/or ported roms for the x10 the motorola bravo and now the thrill 3D. This rom is visually made to be caught up to mu thrill rom so i can update them around the same time. I am slowly getting used to Samsung files.
Thanks to all the other developers in the Infuse/sgs2 forums. My base file is stock gingerbread modding tricks from several developers. You can use most gingerbread kernels with this rom.
Must have cwm recovery to install. This install does not erase data but always remember to manually delete data if you are not coming from a CM7 based Rom... and backup your data and rom

FOR TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT WHILE I AWAIT MY REPLACEMENT PHONE.
This is a port of the SuperOSR or super open source rom. It is developed by the super team. Here is there description quoted from their web page
8.6-AW SuperAosp Samsung Galaxy S
Notapor superatmel "June 10, 2011, 16:02
SuperAosp
Special thanks to the creator of the theme inexus from which I was inspired to give a graphic touch to the rom.
This rom (not a mod) has been developed entirely from the source of Google and very little of Cyanogen framework.
Thanks to Cyanogen and all his staff for the contributions received.
This rom I have installed three terminals, a free Poland, and two orange, one with a month and another one day, the three smoothl.
I used Ricardo's cm7 rom to port it to our device.
I did not hellraise as that didn't work for this one, But I have ported this rom to another device so was aware that the CM7 files and SuperOSR files are very compatible.
I like to think that SuperOSR is a colorful and interactive CM7 that is easy to use. Instead of CM7 settings you have supsettingsV20
A LIL ABOUT ME
This is not my first rom, but I have only had the phone for one day before making Rom. I have modded and/or ported roms for the x10 the motorola bravo and now the thrill 3D. This rom is visually made to be caught up to mu thrill rom so i can update them around the same time. I am slowly getting used to Samsung files.
Thanks to all the other developers in the Infuse/sgs2 forums. My base file is stock gingerbread modding tricks from several developers. You can use most gingerbread kernels with this rom.
Must have cwm recovery to install. This install does not erase data but always remember to manually delete data if you are not coming from a CM7 based Rom... and backup your data and rom

Froyo, without 3D support, I think I will pass this one.
Its gingerbread just froyo baseband.. the thrill doesn't have gb baseband so just making options

Still, this is nothing needed, sorry. We'll get ICS soon from Cyanogenmod and a port from another rom without the 3D functions are useless.
Not needed?
Have you seen this forum the last month or so? It's DEAD!
Any, and I say ANY project from any developer should be welcomed. And building a ROM not-stock is a f*cking good news!
So it has problems, no 3D, uses Froyo Baseband... WTF PEOPLE: IT'S IN ALPHA STAGE!
Very very much thanks rdannar for your work.

Well then you could help him and by the time this one is finished you can use it too while everybody else uses ICS. Good job!

hahaha, ya sure... "soon"... wait for that to happen maybe spring next year
Just messing with stuff... Eventually it will mix with ics also... Every development of a Rom or port has to start somewhere... I have like 6 Rom going for 3 different phones. so eventually i want all three phones with similar Rom

if this helps you.....
Hi guys, I am new here so try to be gentle.
This was the first time I've ever tried to do something with my phone (Nexus S) from the day I've bought it. (Ver 2.3.4)
I did my homework, and tried to install a new Mod.
I have tried many Roms from the last couple of days, but for some strange reason non of them worked fast enough (at least as my old version).
(well and the fact that it erased my SD card with all the info I've had there...)
The one version that looked ok from first sight was:
CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v3.4 + CM Night builds
Now I'm having lots of different issues, and have no idea if someone already solved them, or should I just return to the working old version I had.
The first thing is -> I cannot move Apps to the SD storage, Under the Storage cattegory i have no option to choose to install apps on the SD (like I had with the old version), and under Apps - the "move to SD card" is Grey.
another thing is the languages, why do I see Chinese and other langauged by default and Im unable to uncheck them?
there are many more issues, but these are the most annoying ones for now.
I cannot reply to the version thread, so who can advice?
Thanks!
There are MANY roms for the Nexus. You just have to try a few and find one to your liking. The Chinese text you were talking about might of been an MIUI rom. They are based from China. When you go through the setup screen on each rom after you flash, make sure you choose the appropriate language to your liking.
On another hand. If you tried an ICS rom, then I think apps to sd don't work on Ice Cream Sandwich. I am not 100% sure, though. Please don't take my word for it.
Some roms might have bugs, some might work 100%. Just do the reading and flashing and learn from experience. Its the best way.
BTW. Welcome to XDA!
Well not quite.

The MOD is the most recent CM9 mod, (named in the topic).
I dont see why is it related with the fact I cannot uncheck the unneeded language like Chinese.
but the language part is not much of an issue like the SD card.
I am not trying to run old Apps, since my SD was formatted during the upgrade,
I am trying to move - or choose where to install current apps, ability I had before this Version.
I have an image to attache, but I cannot since I am a new member.
any reason why other mods for the same phone were working very slow? (Clean installation)
thanks for the quick reply.
The ability to move/force all apps to to SD or pick a default install location is not included in the rom yet. Do it manually with a app if you want to move something to SD that doesn't support being moved there.

Just tried it, same thing, Apps cannot move to the SDcard.
I find the "Airplane" icon can't be shown on the top when you choose "text" in Signal status style.
ROM: CM9 v3.4
KERNEL: Matr1x v17.5

I have not used that particular rom myself but have used kangs and am running a official nightly build of cm9.

I have d/l couple of apps that move to usb, they all say apps cannot be moved to the SD, those apps (like facebook) were already on my SD with the old version.
Just because the old version allowed to move them to SD that does not mean the apps support it. Again since the feature to do it within the rom itself is not there yet you have to do it manually with a third party app. Titanium backup or one of the who knows how many root apps2sd apps will move it

Got it, thanks.
another thing, when unlocking the device I have two options.
one is to unlock, and the other one is the camera.
Q: 1. can i switch the camera with something else?
2. I have seen roms with 4 -5 -6 different options to unlock, how can I have this feature?
thanks again.
That is a feature built into that rom. Cyan doesn't have it yet. Not sure what options they are planning to add to lock screen . Just a place holder for now in settings. There are lock screen replacements on the market you could install if you like.
Try CNA or the more stable CM7.2
CM9 made by Kalim doesn't have these features right now. You could try a different ROM called "Codename Android" (CNA) which is based on ICS.
However, all these ROMs are not in their final stage. A better choice to try would be the CyanogenMod 7.2 for NS. I was using it while I was on GB, works wonders, although expect BSOD some times...
Enjoy the testing!

The changes to fix the GPS and SD problems, formerly pending at CyanogenMod, have now been merged with the base code. I will keep new relatively current builds for CM13 d850 posted, with links here, until CyanogenMod starts posting official nightly builds. The builds I post may or may not include unreviewed pending changes to the CM base code as seems fit.
(if you elect to follow me on the above link you will be automatically notified when I post updates...)
UPDATE – SD card fix, too – see below
As of yesterday (2015 Dec 29) there are fixes in the works at CyanogenMod for the GPS problems on LG G3 with CM13 (Marshmallow, 6.0.1). These fixes are in code review and are not yet merged, so if you just git the current code you won't get them. To get them, see change IDs If1d1772952a303b9378579e22c8248805cc191a5 and Iab2c5df90c59b34e33450a7d400cf73c4bef5fa4 at review.cyanogenmod.org and the change to the recommended vendor blobs at TheMuppets on github.com, change ID Iaae7dc3d8bd4aae5e6deb1ee248554217a0adae8.
I did a scratch build for my d850 overnight and GPS works GREAT! For those of you who are too impatient to wait for the reviewed and merged code, here is a ROM image to try. This is as experimental a ROM image as you will find. Use it at your own risk. If you do, make sure to first manually wipe system, dalvik, and cache; then flash the ROM image and an Android 6 compatible version of gapps at the same time.
cm-13.0-20151230-UNOFFICIAL-d850.zip
Update: minutes before 2016/01/01
I have included in this update code that is in review at CyanogenMod to fix the exFAT formatted SD problem. That is change ID I6e9bb732eee110ba75f680ea964538712bc33979. This code permits the use of a 128GB SDXC exFAT format card as external storage. I have not so far tested this code for using the card as internal storage. Maybe somebody with a similar card would like to test it in that mode. Here's the ROM image.
cm-13.0-20160101-UNOFFICIAL-d850.zip
Works great, thank you!
Downloading now. What about SD cards? Are you able to format as internal storage? The CM13 builds I've tried get stuck at 20%.
well this is a GPS fix so it's probably not going to increase your megapixel count or make your downloads faster. or fix your SD card.

Works well. Ran it all day. Dunno about formatimg internal because I didnt need too. But its a DD. Well done sir...:good:

Seems to be working fine with my extended battery . The regular battery was running hot kept shutting the phone down. Make sure after flash to wipe dalvik before reboot.
Edit : 64gb SD card working fine GPS locked on no problem
Any way to just get the patch instead of the entire ROM? I'm running a CM based rom and having the SD card issue (and probably gps if I tested).

So tell me this .. How's your battery life ? do you think this affects our battery life ?
Just wanted to say thanks to the dev for making this rom. I haven't tested everything, but for my normal day-to-day use it has been absolutely rock solid. No problems doing a clean install of the 1/18 build, and totally smooth dirty flash to the 1/22 build (I haven't checked whether there's an update since). Battery life, including screen-on time, has been great- big step up from the 5.1 rom I had been using. Seems to keep running smoothly even when the phone gets hot. Well done.
:good:
I wiped and flashed this on my D850, and now I have lost root on my phone. I've been searching on line all day for a way to get root on the D850 on MM but have yet been unsuccessful. My phone have been doing weird things sing flashing this ROM on it, and I either need to flash the new version of this ROM or try another or restore from back up, but I need root. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Root is included in CM. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Root Access
If you don't have "Developer Options" then go to Settings -> About Phone and touch "Build Number" 6 times quickly and it will unlock the Developer Options.
