Only knowns issues by removing it are some apps that i notice. For instance holding the power button for 3 sec quicklist (Shutdown)app will appear. Now if you remove the apps from startup folder, holding the power button for 3 sec it will take about 6-7 sec for the quicklist app to appear. Same goes with Comm Manager, it will open automaticall. But by removing the apps from startup application it will take about 6-7 sec for Comm Manager to open. I replace those 2 apps with psshutxp and cookies home tab. I hope this helps. :)
[HD2 General] koolxx:
so in other words, removing these startup items wont affect batt life or perforrnance. just that some programs will start a few secs longer.
[HD2 General] thebest1:
Thats Correct. It will not affect battery life or performance.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I could be wrong but I think taking things off of your Start up has bound to help some. I mean for one when you first boot up hour device it uses the start up to know what programs it is suppose to initialize and start up and let continue to run in the background. So it would help a small bit by your device not having to start so much up and taking less time to boot. After all boot up is when your device has some of it's highest power consumtion. Also the less things running in the background the less the processor has to work and the less power consumption the device has. This is why turning HTC Sense off helps save battery because even though you canxsee it on the home screen. It is still a programthat is running in the background cause it is not part of the actual Windows OS but a theme or graphic UI for the device, now granted HTC Sense is one of the biggest power consuming programs compared to others. But thos is because HTC Sense recquires alot of,memory and resources of the device where most other programs don't. Remember I am only using HTC Sense as an example.

When you take the programs off of start up they take longer to come up because the have to cold start as to hot start if the are in start up. Cold start means it has to initialilize or started up before it can open. Hot start means it is already initialized or started ip and can just open.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi t-mac.. thanks again for the reply. can you tell me to the best of your knowledge what these startup programs listed above are for?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
This has to do with your Bluetooth on your HD2, I am not sure but I think it is the program that actually runs the Bluetooth on your HD2. I Highlyb suggest not messing with it as you possible may regret it, I have read threads of people having troubles with BBTrayCe.exe not working or giving errors. So to be safe I would not mess with it.

This is something else I suggest you do not mess with as this is also something kind of vital to your HD2 working right while running Windows Mobile. It activates such things like the G-Sensor, the volume controls, USB detect5ion, and etc. So you can why you ewould not want to mess with this.- Instant Forward

This is the .exe that starts up the screen lock program, and the security lock program (if you use it) on your HD2, if you don't use or want either of these you can remove it and nothing bad should happen, except you would probably have to manually lock \disable the screen if you wanted the display to stay on all the time.

I think tjhis is a program that allows auto run programs like .cab files to run when you click on them. There is other file types it allows to run also but I just used .cab as an example as I know most people know what they are.

This enables your Outlook functions in Windows Mobile. That is the easiest way to put it.

This .exe has to do with starting ActiveSync and all the syncing capobilities it has this includes your Outlook services too

This one is kind of self explanatory, it activaites your voice command fuction.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
thanks t-mac.. can you tell me what 'instant forward' is for? thanks man.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I am not positive but I think it has to do with getting instant messages from messenger programs like yahoo, MSN, Google, and etc.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
thank you t-mac. also, just to let you know, im thinking about installing the custom stock rom you suggested. i think the one called 'reference'. but cn one use android apps on it? i'll be posting a new thread on this. thanks.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No you can not use any androidapps with Windows Mobile at all. Now if it is a Windows Mobile version of the app then yes you can use it bitcthe Windows Mobileversion will probably not be quit as good as the Android.

Please close this thread. Thanks....

Is it really this e z now?

Tried autoroot and it gave me some unknown error. Lets see what happens.
[EVO 4G General] Callie_evo:
it is easy. I'm new to rooting and I did it with no problem. Just follow directions.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Thanks for reading the guide its so easy to do I have done it 6 times and help anyone out not hard at all so easy.

When using unrevoked it may say something about connection with the phone was interrupted when it reboots your phone after running the program. Dont worry its normal and now your fully rooted.

Can't go wrong if you need anything PM and I will guide you through it.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Let me know if you need help. Unrevoked is easy to use no battery pulls or anything insane just easy read the site and my links are in the order you need to do things.
[EVO 4G General] rican408:
Thanks my phone has been rooted since u had to use adb. But haven't been able to do the e z way.... trying to help my cuzin get what I got. Will try again.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Cool man. This is about the most easy way to do things to root. It's simple to unroot to all of those other programs people say to use can be a pain in the ass to use lol.

Glad it's working for you flashing and rooting is confusing for new people and alot of people can be a bit rude when you ask for help. I been learning everything I can from reading and trial and error.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
This is as easy as it gets just follow the directons on there site. Make sure you don't have Htc sync installed otherwise you will have issues.
[EVO 4G General] Arnezie:
pc36img.zip may confuse people it is case sensitive PC36IMG.ZIP OS how it should read , other than that nice job.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:

[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Are you using a evo?
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
If your not using a evo this method will not work for you. Check here to see if your phone is supported. This method listed here is for the evo.

[EVO 4G General] Badge2378:
This is basically what I do when I roots a buddies phone.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Ya I have done it for many friends and help noobs out not hard at all only two steps. Unless the noob has htc scyn installed and didn't read that it will cause issues. lol.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
This guide is easy as pie dunno what there isn't to like about it all the links are at bottom of page if you can't read the directons on there site that's your fault lol.

All it takes is two baby steps till your rooted

H boot driver and unrevoked 3 not hard at all is all it takes other methods it's a pain to unroot.

Unrooting is even eaiser.

This is the usb driver needed for WINDOW USER'S

[EVO 4G General] Amazingbman:
Thanks. I was able too get it to work.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Sweet glad it worked for you man. If anyone can't figure it out PM me im more then happy to help its easy.

"Latest" radio version???

So, trying to understand your instructions for unrooting.. I haven't rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 yet, but I'm planning to - and want to be sure I can unroot easily if need to. The rooting part looks straightforward enough, but unrooting seems a little confusing - might need some clarification in the guide.

You say:

"When your flashing roms make sure there the latest some of the older ones use older radios and such try not to mess with your radios thats where you can run into problems. "

On the link to the ROMs for unrooting you say "This is the latest ruu bottom of page look for it."

So, what exactly is the "latest" ruu, and which one should I pick to unroot? Are you saying ALWAYS pick the latest one on the bottom of that ROM page, even if your phone came with something else?

The latest "release" on that page ends in "release_183986.zip" - however there are other files with a later version, for example the top one says "Radio_2.15.00.11.19" which to me seems later than the "Radio_2.15.00.04.08" on the release_183986.zip one.. All the version numbers in the files seem to be drastically different.

(Does running unrevoked change my radio version??)

I know my stock EVO came with Radio version 2.15.00.11.19; so you're saying I should flash back with a completely different radio version to unroot? Why wouldn't I flash back to the original version?

I'm an EVO/Android noob; but all this is rather confusing, especially under the threat of bricking your stuff..
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Unrevoked 3 doesn't change your radios sorry about the link to that site they changed it its the one at the top is the one you need that one to unroot you also need that Unrevoked forever son zip flash that then the latest ruu.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Pm me I will help you out man at work at the moment .
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
They added more stuff to there site on the stock RUU i re did the post and put the one you need next to it. "Radio_2.15.00.11.19 base 3.70.651.1.

All you need is this and Unrevoked forever son flash the unrevoked son first to turn S on and then boot into bootloader and either turn in hboot usb and run RUU file or change it to PC36IMG.ZIP and put it on your sd card and let it do the work your back to stock man. RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe

Flash any rom with base build 3.70.651.1 is safe. Flashing any of those roms will not mess with your radio's man so don't worry about those. Your already up to date on radios prl and things.

Only reason you could brick your device is if you went flashing old raidos and mixed something up. That's why I gave a warning about rooting there is always a small chance doing a root to anything something could brick. Tho I have done this method 15 times and never had anything brick.

I hope you get it rooted PM me if you need help I will guide ya bro np. Thanks for checking the gudie out.
[EVO 4G General] bmoreboy02:
At the top in your directions for rooting you said to hook the phone up with the usb chord then select htc sync....but on another thread of mine you told me select charge only. Which is it?

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
HTC sync make sure HTC sync isn't already installed on ur rig. Or it will cause issue.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Never said charge
[EVO 4G General] cwbristow@cox.net:
I rooted with unrevoked3, to use some apps which require root,

No intention to flash roms,

I understand, while rooted I cannot take OTA updates,

Gingerbread will push out soon and I would be interested in having OTA Gingerbread without developer mods/edits,

So, here is the overly simple question,

Do these in this order?

1. Unroot

2. Take OTA Gingerbread update

3. Reroot, if/when available on Evo 4G w/gingerbread.

Thanx
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Yup just make sure your not rooted when the OTA comes out and you accept it.
[EVO 4G General] cwbristow@cox.net:
Thanx,

I'm on the xda app and don't see a thanx button,

So , I typed it out for ya..
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Anytime man thanks again lol maybe when your on a pc next time there be a button :D

Anymore questions feel free to ask.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Thanks for using the guide
[EVO 4G General] e_asplundh:
THANK YOU.

Thanks so much been tryin to fix this for a week!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well I didn't need the guide, decided to read through it since i knowed ya' and it was pretty straight, good job.

Though I wana say you maybe wana soon update it to incorporate the new OTA.

Also, I personally, for anyone on the verge of rooting, use unrevoked BEFORE flashing the OTA, as I suspect unrevoked soon will be updated to be compatible with the latest OTA.
[EVO 4G General] kajolishot:
Hi, great guide! Quick question, unrevoked has instructions to apply OTA updates:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever#reinstalling_an_official_recovery

"Download or create an appropriate PB31IMG.ZIP, PC36IMG.ZIP or HERCIMG.zip for your phone that contains the original recovery image.

We do not supply these images; since the recovery code is owned by HTC, we don't distribute it."

Your link has a bunch of PC36IMGs to download, I can see my radio is 2.15.00.09.01 and PRI of 1.77_003 / software at 3.29.651.5

Which PC36IMG image would I need to put back on to do the new gingerbread 2.3 ota update?
[EVO 4G General] wbyrd:
Sweet, thanks for posting this.
[EVO 4G General] shadowstalker69:
Nice walk through. May want to mention the new OTA problem until they get that figured out.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Will do :D
[EVO 4G General] JD1zzle:
Great thread, subbed and waiting for a root method for the latest OTA.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Are you already rooted ?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I was passing through, not to step on your toes in your thread reaper. :p

But sounds like you're already rooted, so you apply a new rom, you would hop over to the dev section, find xHausx's thread; he has the rom ready. You just need to backup in recovery, download the rom, place on your sdcard, do a full wipe, then flash in recovery.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Lol ya xHausx was good miki is pretty good to. For some reason when I ran Hausx rom I couldnt get it to go to the bootloader had to pull battery. So now im on SYNERGY nightlys.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
From the applications/development [been a while since I ran 3.0] But you need to disable the 'fast reboot' option.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Thanks it was brand new when he put it up kinda confusing the first try. But looks solid to me. He did some good work. Happy to have the new OTA radios.
[EVO 4G General] evoandroidevo:
wait i dont get the unroot stuff can u get s-on again or is it still imposable
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Well if you used unrevoked to unroot then yes you can unroot just know when you do you will not be able to come back to root if you OTA update to the latest gingerbread ..

Unrooting still works just my guide wont help the people that accepted the update. Till a root comes out for it.
[EVO 4G General] evoandroidevo:
So the evo did get gingerbread hmm I'm going to wait for root to come out for it. How good is GB on it does it suck
[Droid Incredible General] Treken:
here is a tutorial by Mr. Rager on using your own rom in dual boot rom. Just substitute "squished" with your rom.

Okay, first you need to download the CM-AOSP-GB-shell.zip.

1. Open up both of the zips (I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, I think Windows uses 7zip). Now two windows should be displayed, respectively.

2. Drag-n-drop the /sdcard folder from the CM-AOSP-GB-shell.zip (the shell) straight into the other window. It should add it without issues. So, now the squished.zip has the following folders: META-INF, system, boot.img, and sdcard.

3. Now copy the boot.img from the shell into the other .zip. It should over-write the boot.img in the squished.zip.

4. In the shell, go into dualrom/app and copy the DRSettingsv1.apk file to system/app in the squished.zip.

5. In the shell, go into dualrom/bin and copy the symlink.sh file to system/bin in the squished.zip.

6. In the shell, go into dualrom/etc and copy the reboot AND the vold.fstab files to system/etc in the squished.zip

7. In the shell, go into dualrom/lib/modules and copy the bcm4329.ko file to system/lib/modules in the squished.zip.

8.1 Now, in the squished.zip, go to META-INF/com/google/android/ and open up the updater-script. In the resulting window, look for the line:

getprop("ro.product.board") == "inc");

It's the second line, but below it type:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");

This tells the phone to mount the emmc. Just in case you didn't know. ;-)

8.2 Now, look for the lines:

format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");

Delete those two lines, and add:

package_extract_dir("sdcard", "/sdcard");

8.3 In the same window, look for:

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/tcpdump");

It's towards the bottom, and add below it type:

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/etc/reboot");

Now the DR app works. Save and close. It should update the squished.zip, but to make sure open the updater-script back up, and check to see if those two lines are there. (Yeah, no more problems for me with SR4 and Salvage as far as the DR app ^-^, thanks to you treken. I can now go back and forth to my hearts content, no pun intended.)

9. Now you can close the zip back up and follow the 1,2,3 flash steps, except replace 3 with your squished.zip. I tested it and it works, for me at least. If you are in Ubuntu, and it asks you to update after you close the text editor, update it.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
The lagginess of the app drawer scrolling. Maybe it's because I'm so used to LauncherPro but it just doesn't feel smooth. I really do like all the other aspects of Sense though.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Completely agree stop when you get to the end don't iust slow down. Very annoying.
[Thunderbolt General] GoldenCyn:
I love the weather animations. That's the only thing I love. Fancy Widget has an experimental version but it just sucks.

[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Another thing I agree on nothing like unlocking your phone and seeing lightning bolts lol.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
What's the reason that Sense Widgets can't be used with 3rd party launchers?
[Thunderbolt General] DS36:
If you guys bought beautiful widgets you will never look back at sense again weather animations again. that along with the new open gl weather live wallpaper is pretty sick
[Thunderbolt General] xdpurp:
There's a tight integration among Sense-related stuff.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Bw is a poor substitute for Sense. Sorry, HTC has them beat and Sense 3.0 takes it to a whole new level.
[Thunderbolt General] brad r:
Say what you will about touchwiz, but they got it right with the horizontal app drawer scrolling. I love that option in ADW launcher as well. I just wish sense gave you that option somehow.
[Thunderbolt General] tekhna:
I really don't like horizontal app drawers. I'd actually love a WP7 style list.

The one thing I don't like about Sense is the inability to remap the right button. I don't need the bloody personalize button there all the time.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I agree. Never understood why people always recommended BW as an alternative to sense.
[Thunderbolt General] brad r:
At least that's possible with root. I can remap the right button to whatever I want. I don't think it's possible to have sense + horizontal app drawer, though, even with root.

I like the horizontal app drawer because unlike vertical app drawer, I don't over-scroll.
[Thunderbolt General] WillTheGreat:
Agreed I really wished we could use launcherpros 3d app drawer. I like beautiful widgets but at the end its just not quite as elegant as HTC's sense widget.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Actually, there is a way to replace the app drawer, sorta by using another app.

I'll have to remember the steps...
[Thunderbolt General] WillTheGreat:
There are a few threads about it. But I'm pretty sure its not possible.

http://www.google.com/m/search?q=site:xda-developers.com+replace+htc+sense+app+drawer
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
I recommend go launcher ex over either of those. I never actually see anyone else recommend it though, but it's a drastic change from sense. It has a horizontal sliding app drawer and I never notice lag. You can do a vertical one as well if you like with it, though I dont see why. The only complaint I might have is the lack of built in widgets (it only has 2 right now), but they're adding more. However, I dont care about those anyways.

only thing I hate about sense is the fact that you can't use a wii controller with the phone :(

my fav part of sense. and the keyboard.

Yea, I used sense for a few days and found go launcher ex and haven't looked back SENSE. Folders, recent apps, running apps (task killer), 15 dock spots all customizable. I like beautiful widgets for the live wallpaper.

Well, I like to use this method...Basically uTorrent beta has a uTorrent Remote. All you have to do is enable it, create an ID and then install uTorrent Remote on your transformer.
