[EVO Shift 4G General] curiousGeorge:
The Shift now comes stock with Gingerbread from Sprint. There is no way to root it. You are SOL. I pulled all of my hair out when I figured this out.

Turns out Android (maybe not "Android", but the current ecosystem) sucks hard. Suckers like you and I come online and see threads and guides about rooting that simply won't ever work on our devices because they've been manufacturer updated. And sites like this don't seem to give a damn -- at least update the root "guide", mods.

Quite worthless. Don't fall for this BS. The Shift is again unrootable, just like almost all updated phones from Sprint. Chances are, with the devs having moved on or got lucky enough to have an old version of Android when they got theirs, all new ones will remain unrootable forever. #@(*$
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
How can it be unrootable "again"? If it was unrootable the first time, then how did we get it?

Yes, you are absolutely right. The updated ROM from Sprint will never be rooted.

NEVER. EVER. :rolleyes:

Has anyone tried to run an old Froyo RUU on a brand new Shift that came with Gingerbread?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
I've seen where a few people have tried the one zip ruu but the updated bootloader didn't recognize it.

You need to take a breather my friend. The stock 2.3 will get rooted in time, just like the 2.2 did. "Unrootable forever" is just an ignorant statement. If all you're gonna do is rant and rave a bunch of misinformation, please keep the post to yourself.
[EVO Shift 4G General] geekdaddy:
Back on topic...

I have a shift and purchased the Epic for my wife.

The Epic display is nicer, and the epic actually feels lighter (and is?) Than my shift. It also has more keys on the keyboard.

However, on stock ROMs my shift seems faster and has better battery life. UI's are a very personal preference, but I much prefer the HTC sense and overall software stack vs Samsung's touchwiz. It just seems to work better.

I've beeen running custom ROMs on my shift and most of them work well. About ready to try a custom ROM on the Epic to see if it works better...
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Yes, and man will never go to the moon. We will never be able to fly. Come on man :rolleyes: .

PS. Don't knock the Site, or the Dev's. The work they do is because they want to, it's not an obligation.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
after the samsung moment debacle i will never own another samsung phone. to me the epic is a moment on steroids. its still a POS lol. glad i switched to the shift :)

[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
ive been very happy with both my shift and the dev community here (who have turned me from an ignorant n00b-lout into a root-user) and all those who have helped me try and solve my problems.

As for rooting gingersense, it will happen soon enough, just give the devs here some time.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
My wife has the Epic and I have the Shift 4G. I can't stand her phone, and she can't stand mine. Tho we both take our phone's off the charger in the morning and when we drive home, mine still is in the green where she has to use the car charger going home. Then again, neither of our phones are rooted. I have rooted her phone in the past, didn't seem to make much difference. Still running the crappy samsung software.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
Rooting in and of itself isn't going to make a damn bit of difference in battery life. It's what you do with the root that counts... lol, sounds like a phallic joke gone bad...
[EVO Shift 4G General] xPSYB0RGx:
Im in the same boat as geekdaddy, except, I have both the Epic & Shift. I hate the touchwiz look/feel, (I've always used Launcher Pro) and I rooted it the same week that I got it, While rooted, it has been fantastic, never had any issues with it. No lag, gps works, feels silky smooth, great battery life.

As far as the shift, its just sitting here on my night stand, its not rooted (still reading thru the guides), but stock, its feels just as silky smooth/lag free as my Epic, highly responsive, havent tested out gps or had the time to just really use the phone. But because of how smooth it feels stock, it kinda makes me feel there is no point in rooting except to get rid of the bloatware/ciq stuff. That 800mhz processor feels like its running at 1-1.2ghz.

Before this week is out, I should have the shift rooted/running, and then I will give an update from there. Either way, you cant go wrong, they both are high end phones and great phones!! Plus the devs and the community are just as great and really makes you feel that you picked the right phone, no matter what you picked!! Toss a coin!! lol

Previous Samsung Behold owner here and that experience left such a bad taste in my mouth I swore I would never buy another Samsung phone. Now HTC....loving every minute of it!! EVO SHIFT TO THE WORLD!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] shawayne21:
I got the Evo Shift, Samsung Epic, AND the Evo 4G.

Ive played with the shift for about a month, the epic for two, and now currently hold the Evo 4G. (BTW, I had all 3 at the same time for about a month.)

And to all reading, i stayed with the Evo 4G.

At first i thought it wasnt going to be a good idea cus of the lack of keyboard, but the screen size makes typing so easy.

Its simply the best phone ive ever had and the development is top notch.

So to whoever wondering which to choose, pick the EVO 4G !!! :D

Dont regret one second of it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Alvien89:
I had an Epic, was happy with it even though it lacked my favorite ROMS (MIUI and CM7) It's a very nice device and I originally pick it because it had a keyboard and a game-gripper. I like to fool around with games.

My fiancee was on a Samsung Moment and wanted to upgrade. She also enjoyed having a keyboard+game-gripper. When she was ready to buy we didn't have an upgrade so I searched ebay/craigslist. The best priced device I found was a EVO Shift so I scooped that. I figured it'd been out long enough so their must be a game-gripper now. But to my surprise there wasn't, so I took the hit and gave my fiancee the Epic

Originally, I was unhappy. I hated Sense and I couldn't root. I put GO Launcher on top of it but it just didn't run as smoothly as my Epic. After finally gaining s-off and installing MIUI/CM I'd say its about an even experience.

Basically the Epic is better with graphics processing which makes for cleaner looking transition effects and a better gaming experience. On the other hand, the Shift seems to multitasks a bit better and has a much better ROM selection.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Snakes1:
My wife got an epic about a month after I got my Shift. And the reason why she got it was because the Epic looks very good on paper. Samsung makes some great hardware, but their software integration is lackluster. Before I rooted her phone, she had problems with downloaded software and the pre-installed software, esp GPS. Prior to rooting, i simply never had a problem running any piece of software on the Shift, stock or custom. Her Pandora doesnt work most times, textr message app acts flakey...the list is pretty long.

After root and a custom GB rom I found, her phone works much better....But it shouldn't take custom software for her phone to work well. It should work well out the box. Even though Samsung is a big dog, I think they are too stretched to dedicate the resources they should to their phone division. My brother has had a couple HTCs, and they are great. HTC makes a better phone, even if the phone isnt the most cutting edge technology in each iteration.

Root for Root....From my research in trying to find her a stable GB Rom AND Kernel, I can do much more on the Shift.
[Defy General] The Stimulator:
Hi there,

I have a Motorola Defy on Vodafone UK, that has just had the Vodafone Froyo update. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but no joy.

I would like to get rid of the Vodafone software and use the UK retail version, as then my phone would work as advertised. Unfortunately I get confused by all the different software identifiers on my phone, and wondered if someone would be kind enough to explain what bits could/should be updated.

When I look at Settings/About Phone I see the following

System Version: Details removed to allow posting

Firmware version: 2.2.2

Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02

Kernel Version: Details removed to allow posting

BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R

APflex version: GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021

I had to remove the software file identifiers to be able to post this, but the phone has just had the latest Vodafone Froyo update applied. Hopefully someone will still be able to help by explaining what the titles mean.

I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, but am just trying to get a bit more more understanding before I do anything stupid. I quite like the idea of CM7, but think that may be a bit advanced for me, so will perhaps stick with the UK retail Motorola Froyo once I am sure I know what I'm doing.

Thanks
[Defy General] Mikis89:
As you have rooted it yet you could delete app with titanium backup from the market.

I can say i have installed custom roms on my defy a few days after i got it, just follow the faq and how to post and you won't damage anything.

Btw, if something goes wrong you'll find help on this forum anyway...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saiftheboss7:
I want to buy a 7 inch Samsung galaxy tab. I'll use it in other countries where I will use GSM sims. But I'll buy it from USA.

Can anyone suggest me which Galaxy Tab should I've to buy? (I don't know much about P1000, P1010, P1000T etc etc)

Previously I thought I could use GSM sims on wifi version of Galaxy Tab. But just figured it out that no gsm sims will have support for Galaxy Tab Wifi only.

I want to buy it at a cheaper rate. (like $250-$350) Where can I find this galaxy tab at the cheaper rate & which version should I buy? Any ebay links or product links where I can buy would greatly appreciated.

Besides, I'll use it on Bangladesh thats why it needs to be unlocked. So Suggest me those models which can be unlocked with no problems & I can use GSM sims on it.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
I would buy the at&t tab as it has the hardware that has more compatibility. To get it in your price range, go to att.com, and buy a refurbished tab for ~ $300. Thats what I did three times. Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saiftheboss7:
What means Refurbished? & Will I have to sign any contract with AT&T? If yes how more it'll cost? I'm mentioning that I won't use it on USA.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Refurbished means the unit was returned to AT&T and has been checked and returned to factory state. May even have been put in new box.

That $300 Tab is buy outright price. You won't be on an AT&T plan, unless you decide to sign up....

N64oid, current $3.99 on slideme marketplace (aka http://www.slideme.org).

I wonder how it'll work on the EVO 3D. Coming from the samsung epic, it worked VERY well, but the lack of Wiimote support killed the wonders of multiplayer fun.

Anyone else excited to relive their childhood? Can't wait for some Bomberman 64. :p

OMG thank you does this guy have a paypal i can donate to i feel wrong just taking all his apps for free?

You can wait until he starts charging again. The price increase will occur when he uploads the updated version. Or you can use it now and just buy one of his other apps when they also start to charge.

Yea, just played a little Mario 64, runs almost perfectly!
[HTC EVO 3D] SuperSonicEJ8:
where can i download the individual games? i downloaded n64oid but then it takes me to my file manager when i click on it
[HTC EVO 3D] lbhocky19:
you can find n64 roms all over the web. but you have to own the cartridges of course :)

just tried mario kart 64 and wow. works amazingly well.

Thanks. Just played Markio Cart and it works great. Trying NHL '99 next
[HTC EVO 3D] jim54321:
I have the roms on my computer and my phone plugged in to my computer. what folder do i copy the roms to to play them with this emulator?
[HTC EVO 3D] jim54321:
nevermind it just wouldnt work until i unplugged the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
what format should the games be in? .7z? or do i have to extract them to their own folders
[HTC EVO 3D] c01e:
Generally they are a format that matches the emulator, In this case .v64 or .z64 are the two types I run across online. For example for NESoid they usually are .nes

Side note. YAY EMULATOR! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Correct, posting roms here would be against xda rules. Look around on Google and you will find a lot. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Hey do you guys know if the oid family of emulators supports a Bluetooth gamepad? if so what works best?
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Yes, they support most. The wiimote works with any cm based phone, but we need to see if it works on our phones once we get root.

Edit: you can map your own keys.

[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:

[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
N64oid hasn't worked for me yet. I might have DL'd it wrongly tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] guyver2077:
I tried it on my 3d last night.

performance seems comparable to regular Evo. Not much gain yet.

Cant wait for new version.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Same here. The new version will utilize the phone's gpu/cpu much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Wow

Not bad at all! Tried Zelda and yes, there were hiccups, but overall very impressive!

I guess it sounds dumb to say, but it's sweet that N64oid doesn't require a special kind of N64 rom--it's just plug and play, copy and paste from my PC to the little 3D computer in my hand!

Regarding the hiccup: any way to get slightly better performance until the update? I tried increasing the max frame skip since it's an audio hiccup that's giving me grief. Also, I'm using a class 6 16 GB card with about 2 GB free space on, N64oid is on the phone itself and the rom file is on the root directory of the SD card. I'm assuming it'd run better if the rom were in the phone's memory (faster read speed) but I can't do that since it's not rooted, right?

Any other ways to tweak performance?

Great app overall!

Panamaniac
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Im using a class 4 16gb card and Mario kart runs ok, could be a little smoother. Doom 64 was a no go. Cruzin' the world and StarFox 64 ran like crap, Ill test more games when i have time. Im thinkin games that aren't too graphic intensive should run decent.

The SNES and GNA emulator (Snesoid & Gameboid) runs really smooth.

Download "Emulator Roms" from slide me market it'll give access to everything you need and you can launch the emu right off the downloader app.

I hate playing games on a touch screen, I need a controller.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Some games play great on a touchscreen, while others just simply need a controller. Cant wait until bomberman works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lcsevo:
Mario Kart 64 Works awesome. Only thing is choppy sound but still playable. Reminds me of being 8 again lol. Will let you guys know what other games work. EVO 3D FTW
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Exactly, the Adreno GPU should be top of the line, so once N64oid is updated to optimize the GPU, we'll be soaring.

OP updated w/ latest news.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lcsevo:
Cant wait for the update to come thru.

New games ive tried

Castlevania Legacy of Darkness Looks and sounds great. Sound is choppy here and there but the cut scenes were the person is talking sounds amazing. Also in High Resolution.

Castlevania the first one does not even load. But will be trying a different rom.

Mario Tennis- Works but not very well. Would not play it at all will double check it after the update.

Goldeneye 007 Starts working but on first level after like 2 minutes it boots me out the game back to rom selection.

Super mario 64 played about 20 mins of the first level because i suck at it badly and never get how to beat it. Did not receive any glitches sound was better then the other games.

Any games you guys want me to test out let me know. Will also be updating with ones i check out
[HTC EVO 3D] Lcsevo:
Mortal Kombat Trilogy works but is slowed down. Very playable but still noticeable. I got owned and fatalitied by Jade on my first fight :(. Sound is very choppy so I turned it down till I can only hear when the voice overs instead of the music.

Mortal Kombat 4 works somewhat. You can tell the game is moving but all you see is a black screen lol. Sounds also pretty choppy. Controls pretty easy, may have to resize keys.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 Works very little slowed down. Can barely notice unless you have played the game like i have. Hours and Weeks and Months worth lol. Controls are very hard for this game though. Will resize my keys later and try again.

So far would def recommend Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Mario 64 and Castlevania Legacy of Darkness and Mario Kart. All work awesome and brings back so many memories.
[HTC EVO 3D] disdain735:
I've been played OoT master quest but it will freeze from time to time. Pretty annoying since I lose my progression. working around this with lots of quick saves but it's still frustrating.

Other than that it's very playable. I also have a save from mario 64 from my nexus s at ~30 stars

I took advantage of the two stage camera button and put shield on 'FOCUS' and z-targeting on 'CAMERA' though. Works quite nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lcsevo:
Wait i'm confused. You can put a button the the camera button? THATS AWESOME. I need more games to play whats Oot?

[HTC EVO 3D] taminrob:
So, being new to n64oid and HTC, is there a way as of yet to pair up a wiimote? I have done a bit of looking around and have not come across anything yet will support Sense UI...have I missed something or will we need to wait for root and CM or a similar rom without Sense?
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Not without root. (you can try the wiimote app on the market w/ temp root), but it's not worth messing around with it until we get full ROOT.
[HTC EVO 3D] taminrob:
Well damn...I was hoping I had just missed something somewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] disdain735:
Zelda ocarina of time. And yes you can bind the camera button. to bind the second stage you'll need to press the button down before attempting to bind it

also seconding the lack of wiimote pairing.. Thats a sorely lacked feature. Full hdmi mirroring + controllers would be the ultimate portable console.

I really want native resolution rendering in N64oid though. And 3d support would be amazing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Fadakar:
When can we expect the updated app?
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
They're not giving any ETAs, but it's "expected" within the next month.

As for Bluetooth wiimote pairing, it's fully compatible with CM7, so if we get that on the 3vo, we'll be set. (it may be compatible with stock, I'd have to test it).
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
slide me is offline any chance we can get alternative link?
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Dude AWESOME, I'll try binding camera button(s).

Also, do you get any sound issues when you play Zelda? Mine hiccups every few seconds, though the video looks very good.....

I'll check and see if I can get wiimote running with temp-root :)

EDIT: Get the "no route to host" message using the "100% Reliable wont' stop until that" root from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151735 . Note however that that root is intentionally limited and was likely a bad candidate for my test (I just tried with that method since it's my favorite method for temp root so far--b/c it got Titanium Backup running!)
