i just messaged deca about all this and hopefully hell do something about kifno.

back on topic @kash91 if its still on froyo you will probably beable to use z4root i know that works on most froyo builds. if im not mistakin the sprint version is on stock froyo.

@kash your the only one who was on topic lol.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
The Nexus S is not on Froyo..
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
nope stock gingerbread. will try z4root just to see what happens.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
thx for that lol.
[Hero CDMA General] Riff76:
I gave you a link to the 4G thread but I didn't realize they are just placeholders for now. Give it a day or two and the rooting method will appear there soon.
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
yeah, i was gonna say that. but i think i saw a post about a person using the 4g. ill look for it. does anybody know if the phone is gonna have its own dedicated portal like how the hero does or will they be kept together?
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
As a non-XDA staffer, your guess is as good as mine.
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
ah, true. time to find someone who might know.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
hey dude read this and then TRY it :) chainfire is a hardcore OG code freak, his apk *might* work, it looks like some samsung devices got root from it, YMMV.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
more than likely it will however xda has been known to put phones like that together such as the droid1/milestone section and the mt3g32b/mt3g32a so who knows.
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
@ il duce just took a look. in bold it says it doesnt work for s-on devices. guessing thats me?
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
I don't think so, that's usually HTC, you have a samsung, read again, then try, and if it works REPORT it in here AND in that thread. From what I can tell if it doesn't work it won't mess anything up at all.

EDIT: yeah it says if it gains root THEN it does stuff, magic stuff, to your phone. SO if it doesn't gain root, nothing will happen.
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
sweet. thanks for reading for me. little busy trying to get things back to normal with apps and the sort. and good to know nothing bad will happen if it doesnt work.

edit: running gingerbreak now. will update when something magical happens.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
cool let us know.:)
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Well to be clear, I would say nothing bad SHOULD happen, but you're attempting to gain root access to your device and modify system files, an untested device mind you.... It's possible you COULD kill it, but if my 2 pennies are worth a ****, I would do it if I had your phone. Just READ THAT THREAD, and then make an educated decision.

EDIT: aren't "nexus" devices like the easiest thing to root ever, I thought I read a while back they are "dev" phones, and superuser will root them? Anybody else can chime in on that?

EDIT EDIT: chainfire said near the end of his thread it's unlikely to root 2.3.4, I know NS4G shiped with Gb but what version? Check in your "about phone" and see. I do STILL think you should do it, why not right?
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
it shipped with 2.3.4, and i am doing it. been on for a while, thread said to wait no longer than 10 mins. ill be back in a few to post what happens.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Awesome. You might be the first mofo to root NS4G !
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
sadness :(. i will not in fact be the first mofo to root NS4G. just left it running for about a half hour and its still on the rooting screen.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Well, it was worth a shot. Report fail in that thread.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
If it's anything like the Nexus 1, and the regular Nexus S (which I'm assuming yes, obviously), you probably just need to boot to the standard recovery and do "fastboot oem unlock".
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
i did. ill be keeping an eye on the thread to see what update he makes and try them out.
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
hmmmm....mind telling me the steps to do that? send it in a pm if you can. im sure im just cluttering up this thread right now.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
http://www.redmondpie.com/unlock-nexus-s-bootloader-how-to-guide/
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Yeah it works, just read it in the nexus s forum, you should go look at stuff in there. Boot into fastboot, run that command, rooted, done.

Edit: stayclean ftw
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
awesomeness. thank you both for the help. will post back if it works.

edit: change of heart. while i would like to root it, ill wait for a guide thats been verified to be working. a few of them that i have read seems a bit more complicated and device specific. while i wont read much today to find out the necessary stuff, im sure i will down the line.

Its been fun, HeroC, but I've moved on. Nexus S 4G on the way from telesales via Next Day Air! Even better, I talked my girlfriend into ditching her iPhone for a Nexus, so we have two on the way.

I decided its time for a phone that isn't abandoned by the carrier and manufacturer 6 months after release date (which narrowed it down to a Nexus or iPhone). I checked it out hands-on in the store and it was pretty amazing. I have aospCmod on my Hero, so the Gingerbread OS on the Nexus looked and functioned the same as what I'm used to, but it performed night and day differently. There are a lot of areas of lag on the Hero that I never even noticed until trying the software on something faster. Just an example- Pinch to zoom in the web browser is a real-time instant thing vs the chunky laggy experience on the Hero. The faster speed of the Nexus makes the Gingerbread OS infinitely more intuitive and usable.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
It's crazy how far phones have come in last 1-2yrs. When I got my hero, it was THA ****, now it's a pile of ****, lmao. I hope that doesn't happen to these newer tech devices, but it probably will. I am getting the 3D, and it has dualcore 1.2ghz, 3D, 1gb RAM, 4gb ROM, qHD, etc, etc. I would bet you that in a year after I get it, there will be a quad core 3ghz, 1080p display, 2gb RAM, 8gb ROM, etc. etc. And I'll be like "MAN my phone sucks" lmao.

Well, it looks like my biggest pet peeve with Android has finally been addressed at the Google IO keynote today.

From http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/...oems-and-carriers-to-guarantee-android-upda/:
[Hero CDMA General] obsanity:
Hey guys, I'm jumping ship over to the Nexus S 4G (but still have a mother on Heroc to support).

I already have it rooted running recovery, backups superuser, wireless tether and we have a great developer for kernels which has just added options for the cdma nexus. So I'm currently running smartass cfs at 1.2Ghz.

But most of all... what a difference! Screen is probably the most noticeable difference. Once you play with that thing for about an hour, our hero looks like an old Commodore CRT monitor.
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
How dare you!!!! XD
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
At some point they will stop increasing the processors speed and how many cores it has. Look at computers. I know there are 4,6 and 8 core processors, but most that are on sale are either single core or dual core with a range of processor speed between 2Ghz and 3Ghz. I have a computer from 2002 with a 2.8Ghz processor. 9 years later computers are still being sold with the same processor. While you can notice a difference with faster processors in phones and computers, they will add more software or hardware to the device, which then slows it down some. I don't think we will see any quad processors for a couple of years, but the speed might go about to about 2Ghz. Yes technology can move pretty fast, but there is only so much you can while keeping the price of the item at a reasonable price.

FYI:I should be getting the EVO 3D shortly after the release date.

Don't forget 12-core procs! I just took delivery of 24 of those in my data center. :D The core-war is really about massive-multiprocessing and virtualization. On a server these both make sense, as you have many different clients (people, program, whatever) all sharing the processor. On a handheld, there are only so many things that a single user can be doing at one time.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Sorry, I quit keeping track after quad cores. I have no reason to even get a quad. My 1 core and dual core do just fine. What's the speed on those 12's?
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
Dual-Core? Try TEGRA 3!!!

For a while i was thinking about jumping to the evo 3d. I was even just about a week away from preordering. Then, i watched google i/o and did a little googlin'. All signs, including statements from google and tegra 3, say that nexus 3 will be out in the fourth quarter ready to ship by christmas. Now i dont know about you guys, but im fully willing to get my final stand with the hero and wait for the quad-core, 1.5 (able to overclock to over 2.0) ghz, 4g POWERHOUSE. Oh and it is not made by ****ty samsung, it'll be made by LG....life is definitely good :)
[Hero CDMA General] ganjah:
That is the type of info I was hoping to hear! Even though you can always wait for it, I appreciate the heads up. Thanks alot!
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
engadget also just had an article that the SGS 2 would be coming to sprint, called the "within" IIRC. Also, there were rumors a month ago about the Moto Atrix for sprint too. Both were supposed to be this year.
[Hero CDMA General] :
Don't know if this is old news or if anyone else has seen this.

http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-kingdom-for-sprint-fully-exposed-image
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Atrix is completely locked down, and SGS2 is... well, Samsung. Here's hoping for some LG love damnit, afterall the G2X is Cyanogen's daily device.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
agreed on all counts, I was just throwing it out there. I actually already pre-ordered the E3D, and I can't wait :)
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
I'm going to hold off on that just to see about the rooting/bootloader situation. No custom ROM/Cyanogen support would be very, very sucky, ha.
[Hero CDMA General] iceflow420:
The Sprint version of the Atrix will probably be my next. My wife has a Moment, support for that blows so I more than likely will never buy a Samsung phone again.

As for the Evo 3D, if the screen is like a 3DS, "forgetaboutit"! That screen is a "hot mess". If they thought radiation from phones were giving people headaches, wait till that thing hits.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Since there's the leak of the EVO 3D system ROM, people dug into it and discovered that the bootloader is locked (of course), but thankfully not encrypted, so I am a bit more at peace knowing that.. ;)

well, the EVO 3D has a locked and signed bootloader, but NOT encrypted :) xxXxVIRUSxXxx (too many x's lol) has an RUU from the HTC Shooter AKA evo 3D (he is a DEV), has reported this. It is unknown if the partitions will be signed or locked, BUT if the bootloader is not encrypted, the devs will break it. Hell it might even be s-off really fast since there's an RUU already :)

Not I. I'm waiting out the EVO 3D. Luckily, I have to add a line, so there's a chance my Hero will be on eBay in a couple of weeks with a brand-new Otterbox defender. It was a great learning experience but I'm done with the Hero. Thanks again to all the devs here for all the great roms, see you soon in the 3D forums.
[Hero CDMA General] wdjenkins:
Got the Nexus S 4G, but returned it.

I returned the Nexus after about a week.

I liked the Nexus ok, but I couldn't justify the price difference and the little things missing. The Hero has a brighter and more vibrant screen. The Hero has a better size and fit in the hand. The Hero feels more rugged and much less prone to scratches. I also like the HTC Sense interface. Had I never used an HTC phone I probably wouldn't have minded the raw interface of the Nexus, but I am spoiled by the look, feel and functionality of the Sense interface. There may be hacks and add-ons to get you close to the Sense, but any I tried just weren't good enough to be a replacement.

I do hate the Hero is falling WAY behind in performance against new phones. I wish HTC would make a new model Hero in the same shape and size with just updated hardware. I do not like the size and shape of the current EVO and not sure the EVO 3D will be any better.

I'm really glad to see the platform of Android advance, and appreciate a lot of what the Nexus offers but I'm waiting for something new.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Csharpe:
I think this has to do with some kernel mods some devs made. There's a trick in the dev section where you can make your battery charge till 100%. Not sure though that it's caused by this.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
Is there any way to change the color calibration on the display? I want to raise the blue levels because I'm a bigger fan of a cool color tone and the whites on the g2x are more than an off white. (compared to my mt4g with good lcd where whites are bright white)

I have heard about the color calibration hack for the nexus one but I don't know if it'll work on the leaded gingerbread ROM from paul o'brien
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
If you don't know what I'm talking about go to the color settings on your computer monitor or tv and change from "cool" to "normal". The g2x is more like the normal setting while i like the cool setting better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I posted a link already. There is a calibration tool in the Nexus One forums that you can use. I don't think the G2x needs it though. Mine looks natural.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
I'm fine with all the colors except for white, I'm a bigger fan of a more bluish white like on the iphone.

I'll give the nexus one thing a try but i think a bunch of people who tried it on the g2x it force closed. Not sure about the leaked gb rom though so I'll try it and report back
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
the flash aborted because it says amend scripting is no longer supported since android 1.5?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
I also tried installing both apk's and they both force close when I try to do anything
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
pretty sure you have to be on cm7 for it to work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
Is it just my specific device or are the whites on this phone not really true white but more like off-white? If u compare it to the mytouch 4g with good lcd there's a big difference. Although this device does have truer blacks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Every LCD is different. Even if the phones are the same model. Mine has a bit of a red tint when showing white but its only noticeable if I look at it next to my Vibrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
I know different phones have different color tones but I just wanted to know if it was just my device where whites weren't true white because some people have been talking about a yellow or orange tint. I'm expecting a replacement phone to arrive next week so I guess I'll do a comparison when it arrives.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Looks fine to me, but really I'm all about resolution. Colors can vary and sounds can be medium quality and I probably won't notice a difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I answered that.

Meaning if you took a number of G2x and put them side by side none of them would be completely identical. So its not just you that has a slightly off screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
Well thats why I want to change the color settings because the high levels of red in the whites are really bothering me.

Why is search on the XDA forums requiring a captcha for every search?

I am logged in, and I when I want to search a thread, I am asked to complete a captcha puzzle. This is not fun or easy to fill out if like me, you have limited dexterity, and if I understand it, I shouldn't have to complete it, because it says:

"To prevent automatic filling in of the form you should perform a task displayed below:"

and yet when I click on "search now"

it demands I complete the puzzle.

This is very frustrating and I don't understand the need for this.

Can someone explain how I get rid of that and why it's there?

When upgrading Roms from say for example Leeroid 3.0.1 to Leeroid 3.0.2 is it recommended to do an EASY-WIPE when updating or is it possible just to flash it over?

Any help would be appreciated.

I did an easy-wipe before updating to leeroid 3.0.2 and it works fine but I was wondering if it was unnecessary.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
Well, to my knowledge.

when installing a new ROM, and you dont wipe you phone, the ROM will overwrite the stuff, but sometimes, when you have extra data, that data (from you old ROM) will still be present in your new ROM. This doesnt mean that the new ROM will use the data, it just makes the ROM more 'heavy'.

So it is recommended, so that it will remove all the crap from the old ROM and install a new fresh ROM which is only as 'heavy' as itself. :)

Hope this helps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
OP was asking about upgrading LeeDroid.

You only need to wipe cache not data. So a "full" wipe is not needed in this case unless you experience a major issue.

If you really must use those wipe.zip files (not a fan myself) there is one specifically designed for ROM updates.
