Its a captivate running 2.2 froyo . I'll try the abover methods later today after I get done with the kids bday party. Gotta have the phone back to him on Mon
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
doesnt matter what your specs are.

use the link i posted above .

use version 1.7
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottcwhite:
Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.

Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?

And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottcwhite:
Tried using Astro and E Strongs both and niether worked and they are non native. I'll give TBU a try.

stick with froyo based roms. especially if you have to ask

besides that,,, research research.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottcwhite:
Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.

I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.

also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.

look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it

there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in

and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.

Hi, I just switched back to my incredible and I flashed one of my old roms not a back up and one of the apps I always get when I flash a new Rom is music online lite. But today I went to the make to get it, its no where to be found??? Since it looks like it pulled from the market does anyone have a apk for it or a link to download it. I know there's others like it but I really don't like them. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neipas09:
I have tried the rom, and for the life of me i can't understand why anyone with a brain would want an evo that runs and looks like a piece of **** iphone.

If you are so determined to be another brainless zombie then go buy the iphone and stop polluting the good name of android by using a rom like MIUI.

-rant over-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgalyan:
Fast, efficient, themes, intuitive, GB, tons of built in useful apps...

Sure, not for everyone. You lose Sense. Its not your typical pure AOSP Rom.

But for me, its the best experience possible given my usage habbits.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrr1986:
Why. This is Why!

MIUI just has so much more built in stock! Think of it as an alternative launcher of sorts. Its still android just with MIUI on top. I would compare MIUI to Sense, Launcher pro, spb. They just emphasize the themes more.

Built in FTP, screenshots and eye candy!!!!!

You obviously haven't ran it for longer than a week........
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
There's more to MIUI than looking like an iPhone. I don't like the iPhone, I don't want an iPhone, but I like MIUI. It runs well, it has some nice rom-specific apps, and with easy theming it looks really nice.

Anyone that has to rant that much about hating the iPhone and anything that looks like it needs to grow up. Sorry. People like what they like, I'm not sure why you think calling people names over personal preference makes you better than them.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
First off lol Iphone is over priced and insane price for the plan. Nothing new about all of them the latest phone's kick the crap outta them. I hate iphone but have nothing against people who like it personal taste.

Miui isn't all that bad it's fun to mess around with to see what you can do with it worth checking out nice features in it. CM7 is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet takes my cake :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
well i like my LP better on VP3.2 but to each his own, i think miui is a good transition rom for recovering appleoholics like my wife who traded the iphone for an evo, but couldn't really get used to it at first, i gave her miui and earned myself a nice BJ, couple months later made the flash to real android with azrael and, happy ending
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehalter:
lol. I love when people get mad about rom choices. If you actually used MIUI and saw all of the benefits(wireless FTP alone makes it awesome) then you would not cry. It offers things that no other rom offers. It is faster. Because it looks like the iphone you hate it. Why do you hate the iphone, because you love Android? If you love Ford do you have to hate Chevy? Grow up.

When MIUI gets the errors out of GB I'm switching back to it. They were becoming so excellent with 2.2, wimax was around the corner, then GB leaked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoraX64:
MIUI is a great ROM. Just because it looks like an iPhone launcher doesn't mean it's bad, not at all. If you're going to whine and complain about the iPhone, then do it elsewhere, because I for one don't care. MIUI with Launcher 7 was one of my favorite setups. I had great battery life, the menus are easy to navigate, and it has lots of cool little features. MIUI is a very creative ROM, especially when compared to other ROMs that don't bring anything new to the table.

It seems to me just you're letting your hatred of the iPhone blind you to the greatness that is MIUI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Why does he have to b!tch elsewhere lol this is his thread! He can hate on miui all day if he wants to in HIS thread you people came in here. Miuis text bug is lame, and have you scrolled through the menus that **** is laggy as hell. It doesn't have 4G(will never have it) and its just overrated imo. Only thing good I have to say about miui is the battery life is nice.

Dirk you're a dumass and I'm saying it the Red Forman way. It's his opinion but it obvious he didn't use it for too long. It's funny that he hates the iPhone but still flashed MIUI which he just said looks like the iPhone. It has more features and will soon include 4G.

I hate the Iphone OS.

But you can change MIUI up drastically to look NOTHING like IOS.

Add those awesome themes, miui-specific apps, great battery life, great usability, and you got yourself a great ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
I think it's hilarious that people hate on MIUI because parts of it looks kind of like iOS. Sense stole a lot of UI elements from iOS, just making them both dark/white/black and ugly - why no hate about that?

MIUI is pretty much the most polished ROM graphically and possibly the best thought out ROM feature wise. And I'm including OEM ROMs like Sense, TouchWiz, etc. I'm usually on stock AOSP due to my stock mentality but MIUI is without a doubt way ahead of anything on Android.

Anyway, it's amusing to see how deeply brainwashed some posters are. Disliking something just because it has a slight resemblance to a competing product is just about as retarded as liking a product just because it has a glowing white apple logo on the back.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maxspiderx:
Thinking about buying an unlocked Mytouch 3G off Ebay or Newegg for $150-$180.

Question is, can I activate the phone and set up my google/gmail account with a T-Mobile SIM card with prepaid minutes and no data plan? Would I need to complete the activation process in order to reach the screen where wifi is accessible?

Second, it appears that this unlocked phone is not a T-Mobile phone. Will I be able to update to 2.2 through official channels?

Third, is it even a good purchase at this price?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] XDA-Dev-Knowledge:
$150 is more of a retail price but $120-ish and below is a alright deal.

As for it not being T-Mobile you'll probably just need to get it activated by the carrier themselves, T-Mobile, and explain to them that you bought it off ebay. Once that's done I'm sure you can use your sim card as you wish. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You'll have to activate a Google account to get access to wifi. There's an option at the login screen that will allow you to buy a single day data pass for $2 or you can just borrow a data enabled SIM. Since its unlocked you can use a SIM from any carrier to do so, you may have to input the APN settings for whatever carrier you use.

Yes you should still be able to get the updates depending on which branded version you get. Either way I've heard of guys getting the T-Mobile update while on wifi in Europe.

Kelp in mind two things. One, after you activate the first time you'll be good unless you have to do a factory reset, in which case you'll have to activate again. I would suggest rooting an installing a custom ROM after getting it activated the first time since most will aloe you to skip the activation part (allowing you to turn on wifi and then logging in). Second, (I know you referenced using a T-Mobile prepaid plan) if your use any carrier besides T-Mobile (like AT&T) you need to check what frequencies they used compared to what the phone supports or you may not have access to certain data speeds (like 3G).

Last thing, in my honest opinion I would suggest taking an extra hundred bucks (or less if you get lucky) and try finding a better phone (even if its used). If you live in a decent sized town, try cruising Craigslist. I picked up a myTouch 3G Slide off there for $150 and the thing was pretty much in new condition save some minor housing scratches that were easily covered with a case for my wife. There are a lot of better phones out there that are leaps and bounds ahead of the original myTouch in the hardware department that you an find reasonably priced.

[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I know the 3D is software controlled and only works in some areas. Can there possibly be development to be able to control what is in 3D and what isn't? Or perhaps some sort of toggle? For example can we develop a 3D home launcher or is it just not physically possible? Or can we ever find a way to turn off the 3D content?
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
i don't see any reason why not, since its software controlled we should have complete access to it. I'm sure you could make a completely 3d launcher but i for see dozens of people saying it would be a bad idea and they wouldn't use it. (I'm not one of them lol)
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Well that's why it would be cool if we can somehow build a 3D toggle. I imagine there may be times that I would not want to view 3D content.
[HTC EVO 3D] DCLocal:
Has it been confirmed that 3D viewing is possible in portrait mode? I finally saw the Nintendo 3DS, which was much better than I expected, and the 3D definitely only works in one orientation. I suspect the EVO 3D will be the same. If that is the case it wouldn't make much sense to have a launcher that only works in 3D when in portrait mode unless it could be written to switch 3D on and off based on orientation; that might be asking a bit much for a launcher.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Only in landscape
[HTC EVO 3D] themuffinman:
Control what is in 3d and what isn't? Find a way to turn off 3d content? Sorry, not trying to sound mean or anything but this makes absolutely no sense at all. If you don't want to use 3d content then don't, its not like 3d is mandatory. Its like the kickstand the evo 4g, its there for you to use or not, there isn't a requirement to use it. If you don't want to look at a 3d movie then don't play one on the phone just play the regular 2d version. If you don't want 3d pics then don't take 3d pics. I am sure there will be 3d bloatware, and if thats the case simply don't use that particular app or root it and remove it all together.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I actually think the opposite of the 3DS. You have to stay absolutely still and at a perfect angle in order to view the 3D. Even then it is hard to focus on. I am imaging the EVO 3D will be better. I am guessing the reason 3D only works in landscape is because of the screen hardware? I think it would be very convenient for us to be able to turn off 3D in order for a more crisp and clear image. I found it almost impossible to read text on the Nintendo 3DS screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
I'm not so sure it will only work in landscape. I've seen reports that say otherwise
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It works in portrait too, where did you hear it was only in landscape?
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
Pretty much everyone on every forum/blog that hasn't actually seen or held one in real life says its landscape only lol. how do you know for sure?
[HTC EVO 3D] kzibart:
I really wish someone somewhere would definitively say (and back it up with hard evidence) whether it works in portrait or not. I saw a thread where someone said they had played with it themselves and that it definitely did 3D in portrait, but then later they recanted and said they weren't certain anymore. I've seen posts where people reference "you tube videos" (without links or more specifics) that prove it does portrait 3D. Almost every post I see that says it doesn't support portrait appears to be speculation based on the fact that no other hardware does both yet. I can't wait for the thing to be released simply so I can finally find out for myself. lol

Oh, and I think the existing hardware 2D/3D switch would be a great way to control whether content was displayed in 2D or 3D. Hopefully some devs can mod that up in a custom 3D ROM eventually.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I agree, that would be awesome. We have seen some "impossible" things be developed onto the EVO so I am sure they can figure out something. Remember HTC saying the evo wouldn't work past 30 fps because of the hdmi. Well yeah the devs got it to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I watched a live webcast of CITA were they were talking about 3D while it was in both portrait and landscape mode.
