With all the great custom rom's and kernels out for the og evo, I'm holding out for the first dual core ics phone that sprint offers up. I've checked out both the Photon and the ET4G, and both are great phones. Both definitely have better hardware than the og evo, but so far my socks haven't been blown off yet.

As for the OP, I suppose nothing beats a hands on trial.

don't forget to wipe..
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
How much was the total?
[EVO 4G General] blizzard1017:
I haven't had the pleasure of trying either out but I have owned numerous of both brands. Consistently I have enjoyed Samsung of Motorola BUT Samsung is notorious for being very poor with OST updates and dropping support fast once the next phone comes out.

That being said, once I rooted and set up my vibrant it was a phenomenal machine. In all fairness same thing with my EVO too. Motorola has just never impressed me much. Like above said, I think their stuff looks hideous.

[EVO 4G General] tlxxxsracer:
I wont get the Photon only because of the pentile display. I thought I was in love with the photon, and then when I used it I could not stand the screen. Totally ruined the phone IMO.
[EVO 4G General] hooover:
Same reason I won't. I fooled around with it for a few days and gave it back,the camera, it doesn't focus as well as the OG Evo. I was really hoping to see the Prime come to sprint, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen.
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
Photon is trash compared to the Sammy Galaxy SII phone(Epic Touch).

I don't even usually like sammy phones but this one is pretty damned amazing.

Bionic is better than the Photon by a mile- and the Sammy Gal-SII is even better than the Bionic.

I actually went to the store to see for myself.. and talked with people who have one or the other...

Usually I'm an HTC man- but HTC blew me away when I discovered all the htclogger-spyware- that basically leaves your HTC (I have old school Evo 4g)- open to planet Earths data stalkers.

I was floored that they had us loyal customers' backside out in the air like that! I am never going to be an HTC customer again. And Sprint should be ashamed of themselves for no checking HTC's softwares before selling it to us like that.

Back on topic the Samsung Galaxy II Epic Touch is superior phone on the market- no other phone surpasses it- I bet for the rest of the year.

But I'm going to wait until next summer- I hear there be quad cores a comin' pardna.

(Meantime- my Evo 4g is running AOSP roms or Sense with CIQ warez and HTC logging spyware removed from it- type roms....
[EVO 4G General] j_shelton1988:
The Sammy was expensive but the photon I got for a good deal so if I don't like it, at least I'll be able to make some money back on it. Same with my og evo, got it for a steal so I should make a couple bucks off of it when I go to sell
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
From where?
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
I just tried the GSII today. I wasn't impressed with the speed one bit. It didn't feel noticeably smoother or faster at anything than my EVO. However, the thinness and especially the lightness is awesome. With a minimal case, my EVO weighs 182g. The GSII has a very grippy back that I don't think will require a case and sits at ~130g. That's a huge decrease in weight in your pocket. The screen looks awesome though oversaturated and I hear that it isn't all that great in sunlight. Lastly, the camera is absolutely amazing. I plan on upgrading to the GSII within the next few weeks (assuming I can get a cheap upgrade) for this reason alone. This is also one HUGE advantage it has over the Photon. I really wanted the Motorola for its reception and world phone but the camera is trash.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
From what I'm hearing... The CM team is picking up the GSII line and Miui is going to be working on it as well. Not sure if that makes a difference here.

Samsung Galaxy S II
[EVO 4G General] momeo:
I would go with the SGII I hate motorola products
[EVO 4G General] chrishd3z@gmail.com:
Tried both, Kept the Photon

The Epic Touch may seem like the better smartphone but trust me the Motorola Photon is superior. The Epic Touch is weaker when it comes to its antennas. I'm able to pull 8 to 10 Megabytes on Wimax with the Photon, while the Epic only gave me an average of 3 to 5. Call quality is also much better on the Photon. Secondly the Motorola Photon has great strong speakers. I can clearly listen to music while cleaning around the apartment and they are great for speakerphone calls. On the downside I do miss having the Epic's Touch spectacular camera. I believe that's the only department in which the Epic has the upper hand

[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
So I kind of thought that once any temp root was established, that one could write a recovery which would in turn, enable the ability to flash a rooted ROM... thus giving a semi-perm root....

Why can we not do this?

Are we unable to flash a recovery with our temp root?

Or does flashing a recovery require S-OFF? Which, pardon me if I am mistaken, but I thought we DIDN'T have S-OFF in the beginning when we were doing the 4Gs yet we were still able to flash rooted ROMs.

And if it is an eng bootloader we need, don't we have one for the 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] readingkeeper:
From what I understand, the partition where we can write the eng hboot is encrypted, so we need to get around that before we can do anything major.
[HTC EVO 3D] Omgadroid:
Dont complain atleast you guys have some form of root

[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
I thought the same thing. But its a different hboot, needing different things. Idk the mechanics of it all, but obviously we would have done that by now if tht were true..

Just a heads up, prepare to get possibly flammed
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
the problem is that we dont have enough arrogant, ignorant, impatient ass holes making posts implying that the devs are incompetent. so for that, i thank you for doing your part to help

you obviously have no idea what is involved in cracking this phone open. threads like this do nothing but discourage people who are doing this for FUN. so do us all a favor and do some research before making a new thread. you know, maybe get a clue about what you are talking about first?

my post was aimed at no one other than the op
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Easy fellas, I think he was just genuinly curious, not condecsendingly asking why.
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
ill break it down the best i can, this phone is very well secured. all previously know exploits have been patched. additionally s-on seems to be controlled by the radio and checks its integrity in the hboot on boot up. this means not only will the hboot need to be modified but also this checking at boot. anything trying to be flashed is also checked against a private signature which cannot be "hacked" of duplicated or tricked etc etc. also, the s-on prevents any writing to system partitions without passing the signature check.

so to sum it up,

cannot crack signature

cannot write to system

cannot replace hboot/radio/kernal/recovery without signature

cannot modify radio since cannot write to system partitions

basically up **** creek as the saying goes. the above reasons are why we only have temp root as any changes to system areas of the phone are wiped with a reboot since you never actually wrote those values due to system partitions being locked.

older phones, ie og evo did not have the level of protections that this phone/sensation have. this is a whole new beast and will take time. follow the root thread and read before making stupid assumptions.

Oh ok im not much of a tec on android i just know my servers lol thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] JBO1018:
I thought the @secu flag has always been set by the radio config. Hence the difference between eng s-off and radio s-off. Meaning an eng h-boot doesn't actually change the flag, it is just made so the radio thinks its off allowing for manufacturer testing and development. No offense intended to anyone. Just curious if I'm wrong or if that had changed.

The OP isnt the one being an arrogant ass hole here.

How could anyone be discouraged by an honest question? really?

This is the Q&A section, is it not?

He is not the only person with this question and unless you fully understand whats involved, searching isnt going to make things any easier.

If you want to police this thread then maybe you should become a moderator.:(

Until then keep it to youself, the devs can speak for themselves,
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
So i keep coming on here looking for updated info on whats going on with perm root. When temp root was first established it sounded like perm root was right around the corner. I have not found a solid thread or place to find updated info, without those things questions like this in the

section are going to come up.

So how about instead of being a arrogant, ignorant, impatient ass hole(copy and pasted if you couldn't tell), you kindly direct people to a place where this info is available and answer the question.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
So...I haven't really followed CM7 much, but I see that there is a cm7.1 now. What exactly is that vs the CM7 nightlies? Can I use dalingrin's OC kernel (or any other OC kernel) on CM7.1? Can I even put CM7.1 on my nook (as in will it work on it, not how to do it)? Would I want to put it on, or should I just run nightlies?

thanks in advance for the help...cm7 is a big unknown to me, obviously
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN1:
For the Nook Color, the current 7.1 release is a RC or Release Candidate which falls between nightly and stable. Several nightlies have now followed, and I believe those nightlies are now also 7.1.

Yes, you can load 7.1RC on the Nook Color and it runs very well; yes you can use Dalingrin's OC kernel, and you can do this all off a uSd which is all what I am doing.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
I could only find RC1 (is that the latest anyway) and only 7.0 nightlies. Is there a link to updated 7.1 anywhere?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf3g:
This weekend I finally wiped my Phiremod 6.3 and installed CM7.1 RC1 and Dalgrin's 6/30/11 kernel. It's been super sweet thus far.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
I'm confused about how to install the OC kernel on SD. I'll do some searching in the interim, but if you have a link off the top of your head, please share.

Starting to get very intrigued by CM7. The earlier run on what was supposed to be a class 6 sucked compared to a trusty ol' class 4 sandisk...

Actually, I think I get the OC thing (recovery mode, named update, etc). But now I have a different problem. I tried 7.1 and after installing market I can't search for anything. Any time I try any of the search icons or menu, nothing happens. Any thoughts there from anyone?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2kst:
Now I'm getting confused. Was running RC1 and installed nightly121 over it, clearing dalvik and cache...according to my thinking I've got 2.34 installed with updates from the nightly..correct?

CHeck the version in 'about tablet'. When I did nightly 128, it said it was still cm7.0. Or maybe I read it wrong. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can answer...

Hi,

I'm trying to use Skype on GTablet (CM7 RC1 ROM).

Over WiFi I'm having no problems, Skype is working. But over 3G, using Huawei 3G modem, I can't connect at all (small correction - once I was able to login, but wasn't able to make any calls, only receive. After disconnecting I'm no longer able to login.)

Error (immediately after clicking on Sing In) - "Cannot connect to Skype. You cannot be signed at this time. Please check your mobile network settings and try again"

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenocyde:
Well if you can get into rsd then flash rsd UNLESS you have the STOCK OTA gingerbread but if you had 1.8.3 ort 1.5.7 or 1.2.6 you can reflash 1.2.6 to fix it.

Why this happen? not really sure never had that code.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedLineJoes:
And if you have stock OTA GB? Then what? As I understand it you still flash with rsdlite only difference is you use the 2.3.4-4.5.91 sbf.

I am at this very cross road now. I tried to flash the webtop V1 and it bricked my phone. I did not realize there was a V2 link at XDA within broke URL tags. I glossed over it I guess. Now I'm left with a brick again. I saved myself from a brick trying to get webtop last night, but this time I don't think it's possible. Something with that Webtop V1 is no good. Without looking through each line of the *.sh files I'm unable to say what they broke. I'm interested in doing the V2 though because preGB I really did use the webtop over HDMI a lot. Now I don't have it and the process to get it has become super complicated by way of way too much "noise". Threads where there is decent information are muddied up by poor English and difficult to understand instructions. Perfect example from the webtop hack thread for 4.5.91:

"Requirements:

Have one of the supported build and functional webtop flashed

Be rooted

Be able to work with adb"

The first line is really confusing. The root and adb knowledge makes sense. But what the hell does the first line really mean? Supported build and functional webtop flashed?? How frustrating. How about listing the supported builds, then explaining in detail how you go about getting a "function webtop flashed". Because as far as I knew I was in the thread to get a functional webtop flashed. I feel like I'm kicking myself in my own ass.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedLineJoes:
another thing...

It would also be nice if they removed software like the Webtop V1 where it can brick your phone and fixed the link to V2 if that one even works.

So I installed it yesterday (and thanks to all those who helped).

I think the new ROM is FANTASTIC. Everything works for me, its faster than before and I have no lags. Im using Launcher Pro because the new Blur doesn't support scrolling widgets.

Battery is definitely better (turned on at 6am and had 15% at 6pn which us amazing for me).

Camera has been improved. Pictures look sharper and the colors no longer look weird. I owned an sgs2 and to me the pictures are just as good (and definitely better than the Sensation I owned for a bit). Its also much faster (put it in sport mode and virtually immediate).

Fingerprint reader works. Properly. Period.

Sound on speaker is excellent. Its still the best device on the market.

Sound on earpiece might be a little quieter. I am not certain on this but its something I noticed on my first call.

Gps lock is very quick. It was before too.

Software. Wow what a MASSIVE improvement. Email software is finally useable readable and possibly as good as Sense. Widgets are also better, like weather. Photo software and gallery better. MUSIC is a different application totally. I think I preferred the old one or just need to get used to it. Dialer is improved. Video playback is still great and again an area where this device excels over others I have owned. Animations also very cool. Top bar and notifications simply better than before. Entire color scheme is improved.

Stock keyboard is better but I still make a lot of mistakes when typing. HTC still make the best Android keyboard IMHO and I wish I could port the Sensation keyboard.

Overall its just more elegant and mire pleasurable ti use. For the first time I feel like its a device to show off. I really believe its the best device out there. Had Moto started out with this ROM it would have been considered a device as good as the HD2 in its day.
