[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] Megan Rutix:
You 'can customize the phone through pitchers, wallpapers, themes, icons, links, etc. With a handful of applications you can have wonderful personalization on your phone.

However, there are many limitations to what you can customize your Android phone. These limitations can be removed if you root your phone. In addition, there is no fun at all if you do not root, because typhoid has almost no disadvantages, and the list of benefits is ......... ..infinite!

As a user rooted, we can do the following things:

1. Install a custom ROM, a ROM is simply the phone firmware. Installing a custom ROM has many advantages. You can change the phone according to your tastes. Go to xdaforums.com and enter your phone model in "type find the device ..." box at the top. The section called "Android Development" contains ROM, guides and many other things that you are not even aware of.

2. Modify Kernel [cautiously]: Actually, this part is one advanced. A kernel is well explained in this guide to AndroidCentral. Like any ROM, you can install a custom kernel, too. With a custom kernel, you can overclock the CPU and GPU (ie to increase their frequencies), tweak the battery life, and more. But the kernel to be a vital part of any phone, must be handled with care.

3. Use amazing apps that can run only on rooted phones. Here we are talking about applications, then we will cover this point below. There are a wide range of applications for embedded devices, but will focus exclusively on the customization.

We just switched from Verizon to Sprint. I got the Evo but I do not get a signal in my house. I am constantly roaming or have 1-2 bars. I have missed calls and just get voicemail hours later. Downloads and internet speed are incredibly slow. Could this be Evo related? My dad has Sprint and a Blackberry 8530 and has had never had an issue. I replaced the Evo once because I could not figure out what was going on, the rep to me to just replace it which I did. So both Evo's have done the same thing. I think I am going to try something else because I am missing calls, text arent sending. I just was wondering if it could be phone specific or if there was anything I could do because I really like the Evo.

sprints having major tower issues nation wide
[EVO 4G General] contradude:
You could also call customer service and complain. They'll send you an airave for free which is a microcell (like a mini cellphone tower). Most smart phones get less signal than feature phones or blackberries... I also second the sprint having nationwide issues ATM
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
Need a home broadband internet to plug the airrave into btw
[EVO 4G General] mvjunkie:
Sprints nationwide problem... that why I keep getting "error code 67, data call failure" constantly over the past 2 days?

And second the airwave, they sent me one and it works great.
[EVO 4G General] Huskies88:
yeah i keep getting an sms sending error majority of the time at my home, i am thinking i might call and get this airwave thing, and maybe it will help with my signal!
[EVO 4G General] eazy1818:
I have the same issues at home, along with my wife's Blackberry. Might have to make a call to Sprint. I am in the Detroit area.
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
It maybe the house it self that is creating the problem. In my house NO carriers gets more then one bar if that or is roaming. I step onto the porch and all is good with 4 or more bar.

My person cell service is Sprint and work cell is Verizon and I have friends with AT&T and it's the same across the board.
[EVO 4G General] Admiral688:
Thanks for the tip.....mine is on the way :-D
[EVO 4G General] eazy1818:
Just got off the phone a few minutes ago. Airave will be here in 2-3 days. No charge of course.

Keep in mind they were fully aware of an outage in my zipcode since Feb. 8th.
[EVO 4G General] Blameme:
Will they send me an airwave if I have a rooted phone?

[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
They wont know.

[EVO 4G General] rllong1:
I believe its the house. Like I said my dads blackberry is fine. They switched my Evo out for an Epic and same problem. The peoples plan on I'm on left Verizon and I had T-Mobile before that so I am just going to go with T-Mobile or AT&T no contract. I have had both of them before in my house and no problem. You guys had a lot of good info. Thanks. We cant do the airwave because we do not have internet at home.
[EVO 4G General] 53fireman:
Same issue in my house. Called and got the Airave, and that had it's own issues so I just sent it back. Airave would cause me to send 100's of the same text to people, and also receive multiples of the same text. Had to reboot it more than twice a day and it still acted up. I'm guessing my recent signal loss is a tower issue, but as usual Sprint can't tell and knows nothing about it...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] robekia1:
When installing the .CAB file, it works perfectly.

When converting a .CAB file to OEM and cook it, it works but part of the application is not working.

Noticed that INCities.cdb file is the cause, then i did the following:

1- Convert the original .CAB file to OEM and cooked it.

2- Create a new .CAB file including only "INCities.cdb" file in.

3- Run the Created .CAB file after first Cooked-ROM boot.

The application works as expected :confused:

What does the created .CAB do which is missing from the converted OEM files? although the same file is included in the OEM.

I spent Hours and Days to analyze it without success.

I'm attaching the created .CAB for reference.

Any body knows the trick?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rickou26:
hello,

This cab does not seem to be a problem ... You can also the OEM file that you created for your kitchen.

By.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] robekia1:
Yes, the CAB doesn't have any problem.

The application doesn't work properly without running this CAB.

how to solve this? i don't need to install the CAB.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vman97:
I prefer to use my computer to manage my email, but the GMail app on the rooted nook not only checks the mail, but seems to mark them in such a way that my normal mail client won't download them (Thunderbird set to the POP server). I don't have it set to archive messages, so I am not sure how it is marking them - I assume it is marking them as read, but when I check my GMail on the website they still show as unread. Does anyone know a way to change this behavior? I wouldn't mind completely disabling the app as I really don't intend using my nook as an email client.

Thanks

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vman97:
I can't seem to find these settings - are you talking about on the Nook, or in my Gmail account online? In the Nook GMail settings, I find a "Labels" setting which allows me to set what is synchronized and how far back in days to keep sync'ed, but only the 'Important' and 'Starred' entries allow me to select 'Sync None' - the others (like Inbox) don't have that option. I can't find anything in my Gmail settings the gmail website, but maybe I am not looking in the right place...?

Thanks again
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvoverbeek:
Account & Sync is not available under Settings on the NC.

I recommend to use IMAP and not POP with your GMail account in Thunderbird.

Then you'll see all your mails also when read on your NC. They will be indicated as read. The same the other way around: if you read them first in Thunderbird they will be indicated as read in Gmail on your NC.

Also moving to folders (changing labels in GMail speak) works both ways. Read up on using IMAP on the Gmail help pages.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyhook8:
My Captivate can charge but not connect to the PC via USB.

I can load and manage files on the device without issue over Wi-Fi.

If I try to use Rom Manager to Install ROM from SD Card I get "signature verification failed" and "can't open... bad" errors. I've tried several different stock ROM's and a custom one and have transferred the files several different ways to make sure there was no corruption involved.

In researching the errors it appears that I might be able to get past them by flashing a "2e" kernel over the current "3e" kernel. I was directed to this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

I see on that page that there is a USB-less procedure so I'm encouraged to move forward. The problem is that there are many, many different kernel images on that page and I'm not sure which to choose. I'm also getting a bit leery that I might brick the phone permanently considering I don't have USB.

If anyone could verify my troubleshooting direction and help with picking the correct kernel to flash I would greatly appreciate it. I've spent several hours on this and flashing ROM's is not my hobby so this techno quagmire is taking away from my regular activities. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
Since you have 3e recovery errors, I assume you are on stock 2.2 KB1. The link you gave is for I-9000 devices, not for the captivate. The Captivate can use I-9000 kernels only if they are reoriented for the I-897. Do NOT use those kernels. You can use SGS kernel flasher, which you can download from the market, to flash a KB1 kernel with 2e recovery. I'm pretty sure you should be able to see that in the market from a stock phone. Look in the Captivate Android Development forum for a KB1 kernel, such as the one by Supercurio, get the .tar version of it, and use sgs kernel flasher. Study the relevant threads until you are confident you understand what you are doing. But this is definitely a viable path for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyhook8:
The kernel flash was successful. Unfortunately it made no difference and I'm getting the same error(s).

Any ideas? If someone has an idea of how to brick without physically damaging the phone that would suffice as I just need to keep AT&T from knowing about the custom ROM when I take it in to get replaced. Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neubauej:
Have you tried the 3 button combo into cwm and flash rom/kernel from there?

If you really want to brick, install gb bootloaders via sgs kernel flasher, and then flash a froyo rom with a bootloader in it. Insta hard brick. I would NOT do that however.

Try a factory reset, and use cwm instead of rom manager. Im sure you are recoverable..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyhook8:
I've tried CWM all along to load the ROM's but get the same errors.

I did a hard reset and that put the phone into a loop at the "Serendipity" splash screen. Then I did another hard reset from CWM. Still looping. Then I did a restore from CWM. Still looping.

Ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyhook8:
I was finally able to restore an older ROM backup from CWM.

I still need to get the phone to stock...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
If you are getting USB device not recognized, try a different USB port, on the back of the computer. Or try a different Computer.

I know its possible to escape the stock experience without USB, but I thought the only way to restore to full stock was via Odin and a computer.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heecks:
Hi,

I'm using MCR Fr11 (Froyo + Sense) with a2sd+.

Some applications could not be installed in my phone (the application was correctly downloaded then "installation failed" message occured). So I cleaned up the dalvik-cache (rm -r /cache/dalvik-cache/* while in recovery mode).

After that, I managed to install one application (google maps update) but then the problem reappeared with other applications.

I noticed that /cache partition is almost full (3.1MiB left).

I have three questions :

1) I can guess that /system/sd/dalvik-cache is the cache on the SD card used by a2sd+, so was is the purpose of /cache/dalvik-cache ? And why this internal memory cache is located on a very small partition (40MiB) ?

2) Is it safe to delete /cache/dalvik-cache and to create a link in the SD card partition ?

Something like :

rm -rf /cache/dalvik-cache
mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache2
ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache2 /cache/dalvik-cache

3) Is there another way to solve the problem ?

Thank you for your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkauzlar:
I have the same problem, did you found a solution?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You do not have to care about not enough for the cache partition. Just clean cache of market:

Settings>applications>manage applications>all>choose market>clean cache. If this does not help, clean data of market (also under "manage applications"). You can also try to wipe cache in recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lujomu:
I think I have the same problem...

The dalvik-cache is located in the cache partition, and the cache partition is full. Thus no further app can be installed.

Shouldn't the dalvik-cache by default be in the data partition? Does Oxygen move the dalvik-cache to the cache partition? Because I am pretty sure I didn't run any scripts that could have done it.

Can someone point me to instructions how to get it back to the data partition, please?

[EVO 4G General] dynamicpda:
I tried CM7 nightly 85 or 86 and right off the bat, it noticed a wifi problem that I read about. (Seems that there is a bug keeping a AES+TKIP WPA Wifi connection.)

When I see reports of ROMs working "smoothly," I wonder if that means every critical component is working smoothly, eg GPS, Wifi (WPA AES+TKIP), 4G, etc. Seems that people, not picking on the particular poster here, don't use some of the critical things that maybe broken or unstable on that ROM and report it as "smoothly working."

I'm using Vaelpak rc2, which if i'm not mistaken, is a 2.2 Nonsense ROM. Everything works great on this ROM AFAIK. I live in a 4G area, use GPS all the time, WPA Wifi, send MMS, and use the camera. (Camera still sucks compared to iPhone.)

I'm dying to know which 2.3.x ROMs, AOSP, Sense or Non-Sense have GPS, WiFi, 4G, camera, etc working perfectly.

I have had the HTC Evo since launch day and have flashed it probably 50 times. I am not really a "Noob" when it comes to flashing! My question is on the G-tab, is there anything special that I need to do to flash between these 2 roms. Is it as simple as wiping all data and cache, then flashing the new rom, Gapps, etc...? I have been searching for a while and have not come up with a clear answer to this question.

I have tried WP7 and it is truely a smooth operating system on the HD2. For me, there are two fundamental problems with WP7 which ruin the experience. The camera driver is still terrible - never use flash and no auto focus. Also the multitouch only works if you place your two fingers down at exactly the same time.

If you don't use the camera, and you can live with the dodgy multitouch - it is a great ROM.
