You think class 4 transfer speeds are terrible? Unless you do nothing but constantly transfer huge files to and from said sd card, there is no need for outrageous classes. My class 4 has been wonderful.

[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
First of all, i know there are a few reviews of this case in this forum, but since it's my independent review, i would like to start a new thread, as rearth has kindly sent a free case for me to review, and to gain more information and comments on what people really want from a product whether it's a present product or something in the near future.

any comment whether it's good or bad, i think it's good for a manufacturer to listen in order to make a good product.

rearth has contacted me and a few other members to do a review, which does show they are interested in what people has to say.

If the mods do think this thread needs to be combined with the other threads on the ringke case, please do so, also listed below are 4 other reviews if members need to compare.
[Nexus S Accessories] Envynet:
Looks like they added NexusS4g cases on their website now. Great review!
[Nexus S Accessories] jbeez:
looks like they are out of solid black :(

I just ordered some of them, they look really nice. I have the sprint black case on my phone now so it doesn't get beat up, but i really dont like it at all, the plastic is too hard for a soft case, just feels cheap and its hard to hit the buttons
[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
the button work very well when compared to other cases.

For people who wants to buy this for the 4G version, please confirm this with rearth first, the site says it works, but from the info i have gathered, the power button is position a little higher, than the i9020.
[Nexus S Accessories] olumite:
kms108 -

To say "will not fit the i9023 version", is misleading. People will assume that you won't be able to get an i9023 into the case at all.

I gambled and bought a rearth ringke case (wine red), for my i9023 and I must say it more than does the job. It covers the rear and sides of the phone and the volume and power buttons work as if no case were present.

For people who are undecided, worrying that their i9023 would look like a bodybuilder wearing a t-shirt from baby GAP. It doesn't. Take it from me, you won't find a higher quality silicone case for the Nexus S i9023.
[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
it's not misleading, when people buy a good case, they expect a perfect fit, and i cannot state that this will fit the i9023, as it was not made for it, otherwise rearth will state as i9023 compatble, i'll have everyone behind my back giving false info, just like i'm helping rearth promote their item, if you say that this fits, then all tpu and silicone case will also.

[Nexus S Accessories] olumite:
Kms,

I apologise. I meant no disrespect. I shouldn't have used the word 'mislead'. I know you weren't trying to deceive people. It's just I found your statement to be so absolute.

You are quite right, whilst the case is not a perfect fit on an i9023, it does however provide a 9/10 fit. i9023 owners such as myself, aren't exactly spoilt for choice with quality cases, and should perhaps consider getting one of these cases.

Found this binary that converts framebuffer dumps from /dev/graphics/fb0 into png files from the console.

http://code.google.com/p/android-fb2png/

Installed it, works pretty well. I made the following windows shell script to make screenshotting easier:

for /f "tokens=1-9 delims=/:. " %%a in ("%date% %time%") do (set stamp=%%d%%b%%c-%%e%%f%%g%%h)
adb shell /data/local/fb2png /sdcard/dcim/%stamp%.png
adb pull /sdcard/dcim/%stamp%.png %userprofile%\desktop\%stamp%.png

that whole %%d%%b%%c-%%e%%f%%g%%h madness formats the file name into YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecondMillisecond.png so that they are always unique.

Hope someone finds this as useful as I did :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
So I just got my Evo the other day and I got root access last night. What should I do now?

If plan on flashing to a new ROM so I need to make a backup. What all do I need to backup before I flash? Will a nandroid backup give me everything I need to one day return to stock if I need to? Also when I make a nandroid backup where is it stored? Do I need to put it on my computer? And how?

I want a new ROM that is very stable. My main things I want out of my ROM are the sprint and HTC useless bloatware gone and I also want the ROM to be able to let me use wifi tethering without paying the carrier charge. Can you guys recommend any ROMS that meet my needs?

Here is my current phone info:

Android Version

2.2

Baseband Version

2.15.00.11.19

Kernel Version

2.6.32.17-gee557fd

htc-kernel(at)and18-2#15

Build Number

3.70.651.1 CL294884

Software Number

3.70.651.1

Browser Version

Webkit 3.1

PRI version

1.90_03

PRL Version 6067

Is there anything I need to update on this before flashing to a new ROM? If I flash to the newest radio version what does it mean I may have to reflash the kernel?

I am new to the world of android so bear with my questions please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just run a PRl update so you're up to date on it.

If you don't want sense, try out CM7 use the latest stable, as anything nightly 62+ [2.3.4] releases have a slight mms bug being worked out, other than that, everything works.

Be sure to flash the latest gapps with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
CM7 is good? I heard it made a lot of phones run slow. Also where do I get the gapps?

Any other ROM recomendation
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
SalvageMod 1.2.1, just make sure to get the updated Gapps :D

they are in the download section
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
+1 in regard to SalvageMod, but for new users to rooting, I recommend starting with a Sense-based rom. You will be already familiar with the layout and functionality, but it gives you a different look, mainly in the form of themes. I highly recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5. You can view and download it from here

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Ok I have heard a couple people recommend warm two point two so I think I will go with that. I heard you have to update the radio and all that for that ROM though so can you explain what all I need to do for that?

@ teh Rox:

I looked at the update tool in system settings and I didnt see PRI update but I updated my PRL is that what you meant?

Also can anyone answer my nandroid question about where the backup is physically stored?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You don't need to worry about the radios, as you'll have the latest since you came from the latest update OTA. I meant PRL, the PRI automatically gets updated, so you'll be on 1.90.

A nandroid = backup; you'll hear nandroid or do a backup, its the same thing. And if you're on clockwork recovery, it'll be in the clockwork folder on your sdcard, if on amon_ra, it'll be in the nandroid folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Warm two point two says you have to have the latest radio and Wi-Max versions.

My version is 2.15.00.11.19 (second to latest)

The latest is EVO_Radio_2.15.00.04.08 according to the radio tread I read.

Do I need to update my radio and wimax? Also what is OTA?

Side question:

Once I flash to a new ROM what happens when sprint releases gingerbread for the EVO? Will I be able to update and if I do will the sprint bloatware come back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
First, the radio that you have (2.15.00.11.19) is the latest "official" radio and RLS-5 will work with it. The other radio you mentioned is the one that came via the leaked GingerSense rom so disregard it. As for Gingerbread, you will have 2 options: 1 will be to accept the OTA update but you will more than likely lose root and the second is to wait a few hours or days until a rooted OTA is made available. The latter is the preferred method. As for the Sprint apps, after installing RLS-5, you will have a folder on your SD card labeled warm_2.2_optional1 or something to that extent. Those Sprint apps/bloatware will be in that folder.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Nandroid backups are for restoring the phone as a whole. When switching roms you may also want to use Titanium Backup to backup your apps + data. This way you can restore your user apps on the new rom. Passwords, progress in games, an app's settings, etc will be the same after restoring. I highly recommend the paid version, but the free version is great too. If you pay for the key, your apps will restore in the background. With the free version you have to agree to each app as it uses the standard package installer.

Also save at least one nandroid backup on your computer just in case. I also have my wimax backup stored on Dropbox as well as my computer, but that's not something you have to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Thanks for all the help guys, thanks given.

One last question. In the instruction for Warm two point two is has a list of recommended kernels. Will the Kernel I have now work? Am I set can I just flash and be done? Should I flash to a different kernel?

Oh and also do I need to update my WiMax for the warm two point two? How do I know what version I have?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Every rom comes with a kernel as it needs it in order to function. You don't need to flash an alternate kernel, but you may want one to suit your needs. You may need one for better battery life or other reasons. I suggest reading the kernel starter guide before flashing a new kernel.

But no, you don't have to flash a different kernel.

EDIT: Kernel guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894880
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You'll be set on the kernel. Every rom flashes a baked in kernel, and its always stable.

As for wimax, I forget the command, but if you did an OTA and fully updated before you rooted, you'll be on the latest wimax.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Ok I am about to flash. How do I get the ROM on my SD card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
NVM, I figured it out and successfully flashed to Warm TwoPointTwo...now that I am on a custom ROM do I need to do anything else? Someone told me I need to flash gaps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
You do NOT need to flash a gapps.zip with the rom you just flashed. They are usually need for AOSP based roms and NOT Sense-based roms. By the way, since you're using RLS-5, you will need to download the adfree app from the market and install it. After installation, select either revert (to see ads) or update hosts (no ads) and then reboot. You need to do that because the version that is cooked into the rom has an outdated host file which results in your internet browsing to be extremely slow. After doing the aforementioned, your browsing experience will be up to par.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nxp3:
Tell you the truth I've never even purchase an app from android market before. Mainly some of them I want to see how it's like before I buy it. I know they're mostly cheap, but still would like a demo. I wouldn't pay for most games since my psp and ps3 is for that, but some useful apps I would pay for. I didn't know they have this 15 minutes return policy. Does it work for all apps? most? I might try it, but 15 minutes is not a lot of time to try out software. They should make it 30 minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
For 8 bucks it should have sone kind of multiplayer, so imma pass on this one
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] HasC:
Yes i agree 15 mins is rubbish if you truly want to try software that has a lot of features, it used to be 24 hrs but was changed by Google after complaints from developers as far as know. The main thing is that we still have an option to cancel.

Who knows, the game may have been ok if I played it longer and became acquainted with the controls but I was not willing to pay £5 and on top of that they added VAT which I don't think used to be the case because I remember only paying the price that the market showed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mug2k:
They should of made it like reckless racing which has many different methods of control.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tcjaym:
think this has great potential but i agree with the majority, the controls really need different method options, the one you have to use sucks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
Reckless racing has HD graphics and cross platform multiplayer with iPhone. The start screen isn't HD but the actual game is. And the price for the game is FTW
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] evilmerlin:
So the Reckless Racing Play is the HD version? Does it work well on the Transformer?

I sent an email to the developers of Bang Bang Racing about the control scheme. They replied indicating that an update with different control schemes would be available soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mug2k:
With regard to Reckless Racing, the controls are completely customizable so you can change the placement and size of all the on-screen buttons. Bearing that in mind, RR is infinitely better than BBR when it comes to controls.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] timtlm:
Ah, you are right. I thought you could only change the size of the button area. You can actually move the buttons as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] blankers:
How do you get reckless racing in full screen ? I only get a small screen at the top of the TF screen. It plays o.k. but is useless due to the screen size....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mug2k:
I haven't got the full version but the lite version works fine and in fullscreen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] acomiskey:
New controls are out for bb racing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
works full screen 16'9 in HD here , are u rooted? if u are change compatability settings in spare parts and reboot
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
reckless racing wins hands down due to online multiplayer for me. playing with real people gives it that extra majic to want to play more,, u can also chat with people
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lacrossev:
haha, new control scheme with left right and accel/brake, but the dev staggered them so it seems harder to hit....i guess its better than that pulling the car with a string scheme that was the default
