Hi Folks, please bear with me. Before some screams google/search for it, I have already, and I have a very small window of time to continue to search thru hundreds of threads.

Mods: Because of the circumstances, I have to double post here and in the evo shift section. Main reason for posting here is because there has been more success here and more attention/traffic is paid to the evo, whereas since the shift is the evo child, I figured its harmless to double post. Sorry if Im bending/breaking the rules.

I have an evo shift that at the time of purchased was already flashed over to METRO. My shift has a clean esn and I would like to flash it back over to sprint. Yes, there are guides here, but the only guide I found was how to flash the EVO 4G over to METRO but I dont recall reading how to flash back to sprint. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8395950#post8395950

Then I went here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14282143#post14282143 to acquire the qpst tool. The link there is an empty torrent, so no luck.

But the reason I am posting is because I know there are others who want to flash their evo shifts over to metro, and I already have an evo shift on metro. So before I start tinkering around and potentially BRICK my shift, I'd like someone to walk me thru the process of saving a dump of everything on my phone so others can learn how it was flashed or check certain settings in it, or just have whatever rom that it is on. So basically, so the next set of ppl can benefit from it.

All I want to do is go back to stock/sprint so I swap my epic off and shift on. Im curious about the insane overclocks 1.7+ghz, so i can determine which phone I want to sell. Thats it. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] xPSYB0RGx:
ok, here it explains how to go back to sprint, but not sure if i will brick the shift doing so this way.

I don't see why this would not be possible, what do you guys think? Could the Xperia Play controls be used with PC games? Even with Xpadder? What would we need to make this happen?
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Any thoughts guys?
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
You'd need to make an app that registers all button presses and sends them to the computer. Then on the computer you'd need to make an app for the computer to recognize the button presses it receives.

Probably not a hard thing to do but it would cost some time to develop.

Maybe you could start a bounty?

Custom kernel to the rescue :p yeah, I'm not sure that current kernel would allow something like that, we need to make custom kernel with driver to register keypresses, with USB hosting to show up as USB HID device on PC and send data via USB.

Last night I did the 4G Lte icons. That got me thinking of changing a few other icons. First on my list is the bluetooth (on and connected icons). I saved the two pics I found on google images, converted them to a smaller size..used Ninjamorph to swap them out and all went well...however, the images do not have transparent backgrounds so the background is white (looks horrible when it is displayed in the status bar with a white background with NOTHING else up there is white). I have been trying for a few hours to use MS Paint to make everything EXCEPT the actual image transparent..no luck so far.

How/what is the easiest way to accomplish this?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Try using GIMP it's far better at tasks like that.

You could probably also Google around for any guides and what not on creating transparent backgrounds for icons.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atwnsw:
Hi there,

About a month ago I bought an HTC Thunderbolt and somebody helped me root the phone. Since then I have had some family emergency/issues that have caused me to put programming the phone on hold. Now that they have cleared up I am trying to now learn a little bit more about upgrading Rom/Kernel/Radio.

I am running the following:

Android 2.2.1

Baseband version 1.16.00.0223r

Kernel 2.6.32.21_bamf4.4.2....

Build 1.13.605.7Das Bamf 1.5 Remix

Software 1.13.605.7

Can somebody tell me how to backup my phone entirely?

I would like to back it up with the intent:

* Install different kernel/radio/rom and keep the same android apps without reinstalling

each one individually.

or

* Restore the phone to its current state (if I should drop the phone and get a

replacement).

I do have titanium backup pro installed but it has never been used. Is this all I need?

I seem to recall that there is a backup feature on this phone that was discouraged....

Thanks in advance...

Anthony

The key for me is to
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Use Nandroid (the backup feature in recovery) for a full image backup. Use Titanium to backup individual applications.

Before restoring nandroid backups, be sure to wipe cache and Dalvik (under advanced in recovery).

Nandroid takes nearly the entire phone back to the point of backup (houses everything you have on your phone's internal memory). Titanium allows backups to be restored on different roms. Some apps and many system apps don't play nicely with Titanium, but most from the market do play nicely with it.

Installing new kernels doesn't require wiping your data. Installing new/updated roms does. Installing themes usually does not, but there are exceptions.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atwnsw:
Thank you for the explanation.

When you refer to Nandroid & recovery feature, you are referring to Clockworkmod?

Per your input I updated to Rom Manager PRO and then simply selected "Backup Current ROM". I assume that this covers everything on the phone including radio/kernel/apps....

If there is anything else I need to do, please let me know.

Thanks again...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stedrocklp:
Yes, CWM is how you want to backup your phone entirely. I would recommend going into recovery and making a backup on your own instead of hitting the "backup my current rom" button in rom manager. The backup you make will be saved in a folder on your SD card named clockworkmod/backup. I always think its a good idea to move your backups to your computer and keep your two or three most recent backups on your sdcard.

As for backing up your apps, you can do a batch backup in titanium and when you load a new rom you will be able restore the app and any data associated with it. As a general rule I would only backup apps that require a lot of setup. Otherwise when you load a new ROM the apps you had previously installed will automatically restore (depending on the ROM). Just a tip, dont backup system apps. Doing so and switching versions, for example froyo to gingerbread, could cause many issues down the road even if they aren't immediately seen.

Lastly, when installing a new ROM you always want to wipe data/factory reset at least twice and wipe cache and dalvik cache twice each as well. If you have any issues dont hesitate to ask there are many people who are willing to help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jakobby93:
Go to ROM Manager, scroll down and select Backup Current ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djab67:
I use two apps for backing up and restoring installed apps; Titanium Pro and MyBackup Pro. For some reason MBP successfully restores the apps + data that fail using TP. For example, apps installed from the Amazon android market.

I create full backups with both TP and MBP, but when I need to restore ( after a complete data wipe and new Rom flash) I do the following:

1) skip setting up my Google account during the initial setup process that starts after user data has been wiped.

2) Uncheck the box that allows backups to Google's servers

3) After setup is finished, go into settings, privacy and deselect the automated backup options

( If I don't do the previous two steps, then Google starts pushing apps that may have been backed up and/ or apps that I have purchased. I don't want this to happen since I am going to do my own restore with data.)

4) I use TP to restore MBP only

5) I then use MBP to restore the rest of my user apps and data.

Some may disagree with my two backup app process, but it has been more successful for me than using either TP or MBP by themselves.

If something doesn't go right with MBP, I still have the full TP backup to pull from.

I do not bother backing up systems apps just because it seems to cause me too many issues when i attempt the restore. This means i have to redo any system settings, but that isn't a big deal to me.

Some of my favorite apps have backup features of their own. Folder Organizer and Circle Launcher are two of my all time favorites. Both restore nicely when i move to a new Rom.

Occasionally, i copy the TP, MBP, and Clockwork folders from my sdcard to a folder on my laptop just in case.

The above may sound like alot, but it goes pretty quick for me and I flash quite a bit ( at least once or twice a week when the device is new and the Rom cookers are really active).

Another thought, I have used MBP to successfully restore my android home screen settings for sense ( part of MBP's data bu ). My preferred launcher is LauncherPro, which has its own backup and restore function.

Finally, i always do a nandroid backup before wiping and flashing to a new Rom. I also always do the backup right from clockwork mod recovery. I love the Rom Manager app and paid for the premium version quite a while ago, but i prefer to backup, wipe and flash from the recovery screen. Even if i download something that needs to be flashed using Rom Manager, I still reboot into recovery to perform the needed steps.

Hope this helps and if someone has another app backup/ restore routine they use successfully i would love to know the steps. I am open to learning something new.

We need a vertical scrolling launcher like this which isn't a WP7 clone, since too much space gets wasted in WP7.

I don't know why all launcher developers are fascinated by horizontal scrolling launchers. I guess because iPhone does it that way. What's more natural is vertical continuos scrolling page with apps and widgets, just like on this launcher.

So let me get it right - would it require a lot of porting almost like building a new rom like MIUI?

If it is possible to port it as a single app only I think that somebody like Chainfire would be able to do that kind of magic. I would donate if it could be ported to other devices since all other launchers are quite simillar and this one is something totaly different:)
