[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
What I wanted:

-everything has to work (gps, proximity sensor, mms, hotspot, etc.)

-great data speeds, like 7mb down and 1.5 up

-stable (no FC closes, etc.)

-good battery life

-3D app drawer (like CM7)

-3D gallery (like CM7)

-full email functionality (exchange, schedules, self BCC, etc.)

-no Sense

So, what ROM is it?

It is the STOCK ROM with a few non-developmental changes.

Here are all the parts:

The stock rooted ROM found here (this contains the recent OTA update that gives you great speed):

Then, I removed most Sense objects by flashing this:

Then, I installed this 3D Gallery app:

For me, this ROM is Nirvana…no more bugs every corner I turn. No more jumping through fire hoops to fix the "little things". It just works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Great combination
[HTC Inspire 4G] pollux1151:
stock rom has no potable wifi hotspot ability,

GB rom has
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
Stock has it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I personally like leedriod. but I have done the same thing. Stock rom with Sideloading enabled. removed all the bloat. Then added all I needed and made a rom back up. I return to it frequently. But leedriod has been on my phone for 5+ days in a row now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
To be clear, I just didn't remove bloat, I removed most of Sense. This seems to speed things up quite a bit. For example, I'm using the AOSP launcher, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] D-REW:
i'm trying your method right now because i needed gps to work, and no rom ever had gps working for me. but how did you remove the bloat?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
See the second link in my original post. When you go through the process of removing Sense, it removes most bloat. Any bloat left can be removed with Titanium backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Sounds like MIUI with a launcher installed :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Try mdj's sense 3.0. Awesome rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] Victor A.:
It's true that stock ROMs are almost bug free, but flashing custom ROMs has become a hobby for me. I rarely keep a ROM for more than a week, and the whole process of flashing a new release and checking out the new features is just awesome. I know, I'm a big geek :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
We all are lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] pollux1151:
me too, Leedroid rom with its setcpu underclock function save a lot of battery power.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hazelfoot:
I've seen a few pictures of EVO's where people have scratched off some of the black backing on their evos and it was red.

Is it actually red under there or am I getting trolled? What's a good way to scratch off the black?

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h156/Pricelss/IMG00508-20100921-1445.jpg

EDIT: Just grew some balls and did it with a pair of scissors. Looks baller as hell.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheSilverStig:
Goodbye warranty. I have considered doing this though. Is the finish ****ed up or could you just sand it real quick and get it smooth?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hazelfoot:
It's nice and smooth already around the sides where I scraped it with one side of my scissors.

Around the corners I had to grind it down with a nail file and it feels a little bumpy. It sands out just fine though.

Overall looks way better than I thought.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nikocb:
Hmm...might have to try this
[EVO 4G Accessories] blane73:
I used a razor blade and held it upright. Kinda like scraping it. Its not perfectly smooth but it works for me. No pics but it looks just like the OP.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kshiue18:
Love the new look
[EVO 4G Accessories] edisepic:
i did this to my evo and then got it warranty replaced last month because i got sick of the light screen blotches and they took it no problem

Voids warranty?

[EVO 4G Accessories] hTc Arod:
I have a coworker that did this on his old one before he got his 3D. Looks killer. He used fine grade sandpaper and came out perfect.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chufo68:
I love mine. I took it apart and carefully wet sanded just the flat edge around the sides. Looks good with black cover, but I think it looks even better with the white one. Notice the matching J-Fold wallet
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
That's really really nice! Did you tape off where you didn't sand to get such a nice fine line?
[EVO 4G Accessories] conman123:
So confirm that scratching the paint off won't void warranty? I'm ready to do this..
[EVO 4G Accessories] chufo68:
No. It was pretty easy as long as you don't go crazy. Once you've got that half of the case apart and in your hand, it's a fairly simple to control what your sanding. I used like 320 grit. If you do take your phone apart, cover up the moisture sticker. Actually, carefully removed mine and put somewhere safe. As far as voiding your warranty, obviously, taking it apart will void IF they know. I made a little black round tamper sticker to put back on the screw that had one. And in fact, I did warranty one like that. They never even knew I was in it. If you don't take apart and sand or scrape off the black, it's not gonna void anything. It's cosmetic.
[EVO 4G Accessories] r.storm85:
Damn to bad im always rockin a case... :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] protoadies:
I love that wallet where can I get one.....
[EVO 4G Accessories] chufo68:
Nordstrom"s. About $50
[EVO 4G Accessories] cheekymonkee20:
Nice!! There's some brave souls out there. With my luck I'd screw something up. I'll stick with my case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Chirstopher:
it WILL void warranty. my friend is a repair tech at the local sprint store. told her about it a few weeks ago and she says it will definitely void warranty. some techs are cool though and wont care.
[EVO 4G Accessories] I Am Marino:
Just random question, on the white EVOs, what's the material used for the white on the back, I'm pretty sure it's not that rubber-ish stuff used for the black.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ihavapro7:
Ok i did that to my evo n it looks nice n all but something happen to my evo that idk i guess i dropped it bc its naked and has no protection but the frame of the phone is loose and its bugging me and i was wondering if i 100% voided my warranty from scratching it off and having it red?

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Accessories] mcwups1:
Hmmm....can I get a second opinion?
[EVO 4G Accessories] UndeadCircus:
I HIGHLY doubt that this will void your warranty. I can see how switching out parts from the phone could void your warranty, but sanding off part of it? Doubt it. They probably won't let you return it if you're complaining that you don't like the red anymore. But for them to go as far as to tell you that you can't get your phone fixed because part of it is red, when it was already red to begin with? Highly doubtful.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ihavapro7:
Ok good bc i have the TEP and i was wondering if im covered

Edit: went to sprint store today and they were able to fix it , so no it does not void your warranty , depending on the sprint store you go they can take it back or fixing or anything like that

Did this waaaaay back with my first evo, looks pretty sick.....i did it with a fine sand paper soooo it was really smooth.....
[EVO 4G Accessories] skritt:
That looks sick! I wonder if the white is the same?
[EVO 4G Accessories] dowmace:
The white is the same I did it on my white evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] dsf3g:

I did this yesterday nd as I was doing it an idea sparked in my head ... So I got my wife's clear nail polish nd applied to the red nd now the red shines nd doesn't look all dull
[EVO 4G Accessories] conman123:
Worked for me ! :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hazelfoot:
Never thought I'd see the day where I was putting nail polish on my phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mindclue22:
Me either but it makes the red stand out more nd gives it a nice lil shine to it
[EVO 4G Accessories] backpain123:
ok, so i really want to do this, but I'm not so sure how i should go about taking off of the black. Should i use sand paper, or use scissors. Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] GeneralSky2004:
I used sandpaper and it worked fine for me. Make sure you don't get anything too grainy though, you don't want to rip your phone to shreds. I don't remember exactly what I used, but you could almost barely feel it rubbing your fingers over it. Took a while to remove it all, but once it was done it looks really nice. It's nerve racking at first, but once you get started on it you will be fine. I wouldn't recommend using scissors though. I tried using a pair on a certain spot on my Evo I couldn't hit with the sandpaper, and it took the black off but also dug into the red a little bit. Nothing too terrible or even noticeable, but just a heads up.

I'm going to try the fingernail polish thing soon as well and see how that goes.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Infliciton:
Does this void warranty?
[EVO 4G Accessories] monkeychef:
Probably not. If anyone asks just say you got a replacement battery cover.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] dj_ghosie:
Hi all,

I take absolutely no credit for this to work on Xoom, it's due to the great work of hhspiny who extracted the files from his GalzxyTab; and kevinmajlo who is kind enough to alter some code which solved the FC issue.

Bear in mind that since this app is not optimized for Xoom, don't expect the resolution to be on par with its ipad counterpart. Nevertheless it's good for now until the official version for Xoom comes out.

Here's the installation sequence (you need to sideload all files):

1. Download the 2 attached files

2. Install ReaderHub.apk

3. Install zinio-fixed.apk

After installation completed click the "ReadersHub" app, choose "magazine" and viola!!

Enjoy everyone! Please drop a note whether it works or not for your device.

[Update] For those who would like to be informed regarding the official app, Zinio has placed a link in its tweet. Here's the link:

I've been looking at Zinio's twitter feed and it looks like there's progress being made for a Zinio honeycomb version including a tweet by what looks like a developer for Zinio asking for people who have android tablets. Maybe the devoper is asking for beta testers?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] johnjohn25:
Yah. The games on the iPad were nice but I'd forget I even had one and would go for weeks without using it. Having an EVO, iPod Touch 4, and a Xoom was too much. I can't browse or multitask on an iPad (Mobile Safari sucks and having to click the home button twice to view open apps is a chore). No point in keeping the iPad when everyday the value decreases as more and more iPad 2's are available. Sold it when it was still sellable.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] quordandis:
Ok, so I uninstalled zinio and readershub, and now i'm trying to reinstall them both. Readershub installs just fine, but for some reason zinio fails to install. I tried using adb install and adb install -r and they both result in the following error:

[HTC Incredible S] Jay_Bee:
Ugh, i'm pretty dissapointed with HTC locking us out.

I should never have sold my Desire for this... i'm not a fan at all of SenseUI after months of problem free CM7 on my Desire, I don't care if we get 2.3.3 OTA.

I think i'm going to return my phone and get the Nexus S.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
I actually had the Nexus S before this phone. Loved it! No bloatware and easily rooted. Was running CM7 on it wonderfully! The only reason I returned it was coz I got headaches from looking at the screen for more than 5 min. Yeah, I'm weird.

So, what's the deal with the XTC clip? Doesn't work on our Bell phones? :confused::confused:

And I'm not sure how to get one and how much it would be, either. lol Anybody have an idea?
[HTC Incredible S] bebolf:
No idea here either, and I wouldn't want to invest if I don't know for sure it'll work on Bell IS.

Yes nexus s is very nice, especially its excellent support from Google directly. But I tried holding nexus and IS in each hand and I gotta say it felt like IS has more in it :D

TBO I am pretty happy with 2.2.1 on my IS (I'm coming from SE x10 ...) Awesome HTC Sense, rarely experience any lag, good reception, nice screen, decent in-call volume, plus just read Gingerbread upgrade will give you unpleasantly bigger font (lol)...

Haha just trying to cope with this whole s-on and late GB upgrade depression, but I'm gonna try to stay hopeful anyways!

Cheers,
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Yeah, I know what you mean. The nexus s totally felt light and cheap. I'm pretty happy with my IS (I don't use HTC Sense).

But it would definitely be nice to be able to get GB...

Anybody else heard about the xtc clip not working on the bell IS?
[HTC Incredible S] bebolf:
Hmm we'll probably be getting GB sooner than seeing IS rooted...
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Sad... But that's why we should get a xtc clip!

For other similar HTC phones that work on Rogers/Fido 3G and are either Desire/Desire HD or IS.

Perhaps I should have gotten the Desire HD hehe

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirhanSirhan:
Yes, you soft bricked it. There is a video in this section that will show you how to get the USB driver to recognize. It is entitled:

"How to install the Honeycomb Alpha build VIDEO!!"

Then you need to NVFlash to stock 3558. There are several excellent how to's in this forum for this. Read them carefully. I would encourage you to play and pause the video as you go step by step, after you have read the instructions very carefully. One caveat, though. The Alpha is not working 100%, that is why it is called Alpha. You may not want to even install this until it is Beta or further.
