[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 777ace:
I'd be more inclined to liken it to a stripped down Bugatti Veyron speedway racer, painted with matt black housepaint and scarily fast, compared with the same car coming of the factory floor with airconditioning, power steering etc. Still quick for a road car, but a lot more bells and whistles.

But I agree, it's not all about the speed. I've given the AOSP ROMs a run and yes, they are very snappy and responsive, but also quite bland (imo). I am happy to sacrifice a few nanoseconds of response time, and less battery time, in favour of all the pretty things that make up Sense.

And as I said above, when my mate digs out his iP4, I just laugh at him, cos his phone doesn't have half the features mine does...

Why not flash CM7 or Oxygen and give them a run for a few days? See how your mates brick compares...?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
I would like to for a change of pace but the thing stopping me is my past experiences with flashing Leedroid alone. You see, I have Apps2SD+ and I have 18mb of free space left on my Desire, so I have a few apps.

I wouldn't want to give Cyanogen a test run if I had to spend hours putting everything back on my phone.

That is really my only problem, so here are a few questions.

1. Whats a good backup program so I can just reflash Leedroid back on once im done with Cyanogen? And how difficult is this to do?

2. About my apps being on the EXT 3 part of my sd card. Will I have to format my Sd card, remake the partitions and install all my apps again?

Any tips or suggestions related to or outside of what I asked would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton community!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghiki:
1- Use "Nandroid" (in recovery); 2 click (or trackball presses, in our case) and done, same for restoring.

2- Cyanogen supports sd-ext in ext3 (install s2e from market), but I reccomend you to format your sd-ext after you do it app-backup with "Titanium Backup" (without any doubt, the best program for do app backups). you can restore the apps (with data) selectively after CM7 installs. (Be careful with "Sense apps" restoring in aosp -or you'll have to flash it again-)

I came from Leedroid, CM7 is much faster (but it haven't "Sense" xD)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:
I'm in India and got a new Galaxy S in exchange of my 6 month old HTC Desire + 150$, so far I'm loving it. I like the bigger and crisper screen. I've flashed F1 Galaxy S2 V6 and it's been quite good, any tips?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] asicman:
Arre bhai, why'd you get the SGS? An android dual core phone would be a better alternative.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:
Because the galaxy s2 was a lot more than my budget, I couldnt afford it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dbraaker:
dont worry, you bought just the right phone :) root it, flash a recent 2.3.4 firmware, customize it and have the best value for money phone on the market today :) there are no kind of apps which really need a faster phone, dual core phones have a really small share of the user base, it will probably take at least 2 more years until they offer any benefit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yaatzek:
I'll give You one tip... be aware of flashing. Since I've bought mine i'm flashing few times a week :) I don't remember if some rom lasted for a whole week. Will see... Now I'm on galnet's miui and maybe this will be the first one :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:
What would be the most snazzy/beautiful ROM/widget combo out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
Have to disagree with you there. It is not just in the benchmarks that the dual core makes a difference.

You are sadly mistaken, if you think that to be the case.. Just read up a bit, and you'll understand.

Remember when Intel C2D (Conroe) came? There were hardly any application making use of two cores, but still there was a significant advantage.. ~50-60% over similarly clocked single core processors. (not considering the architecture, which significantly increased the IPC). [ One of the reasons, why increasing the core-clock to around 1.44 GHZ, would be enough to somewhat offset the advantage of a dual core 1Ghz Tegra 2 process. But, if you think of it that way, even Tegra 2 can be clocked higher..]

That is because , even though a single application couldn't make use of two cores, a single application could make full use of the single core. (all background processes could run on single core). Thus ,effectively increasing the multitasking capability..(with more RAM like SGS2, it makes a huge difference!!).

And probably the most VFM Android phone in the higher end market is the Nexus S (despite its obvious shortcomings, like lack of HD video recording), imo..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shr0omz:
i'd have to agree with Hrithan2020 that any dual core phone is definitely going to be significantly faster and responsive than any single core but i see dbraakers point too... since dual core phones are still so new, they really do have a small user base meaning that it will take some time for majority of the software developers to make programs and upgrades that utililize the dual cores full potential. i'm currently in the same situation, SGS vs LG O2x. O2x is only $25 more but SGS has a better dev community and is a lot more stable. i'm going to wait it out a bit to see if o2x community picks up. i wish i could go for the sgs2 (who wouldnt?) but i cant justify spending an extra $200-$300 for it when all that i'm mostly going to do is browse the web and send text messages. SGS would suffice but at $25 more, why not get the O2x?

Great analogy on the Intel C2D processors... but i dont think Dragooon made a bad choice cause the SGS is still a great, solid phone that will can hold its own over the next 2 years. budget is a factor for many of us so just because the latest intel i7-990x ($1100) is available, doesnt mean the i7-960 ($300) isnt still a good option that can satisfy the users needs. just my .02 cents =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
True. But, the difference between an SGS and SGS 2 , is not that high, is it? How much is it? 200$?. TBH, I have been itching to dump my SGS and buy SGS 2,but the form factor (more than the price) , helps to prevent my wallets from being empty ;)..

[ Two things, I am not satisfied about my SGS, GPS and low RAM, despite trying all fixes, would be significantly improved with SGS 2]

Also, particularly in the case of phones, the firmware makes a huge difference. (as can be noticed by the huge performance difference between the older eclair firmware vs the 2.2.1 froyo ones, for SGS). As it stands, O2X (stock) feels almost the same as SGS, in terms of responsiveness.. But, I am sure, some nice custom ROM's would help significantly widen the lead?

And, I feel that SGS's achilles heal is the low RAM, which the O2X also unfortunately shares. (330/340 vs 372 user available RAM).. You are right, in the sense, that there wouldn't be applications which would make use of the two cores fully; but better thread management by OS, could significantly help. [ ie. without applications being aware of the two/four cores, the OS would automatically spread the jobs over multiple cores.... which could probably be only in Android 4.0 or ICS] .. So, the days of single core are still not gone, but it won't be long before single core phones are pushed into the mid-end of the market..

(Nowadays,it is mostly near high end)..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:
Yes I know it isnt current but I am 16 year old student, so that 250$ is a big deal for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
Wow!! For 250$, it is a real VFM.. You stay in India only , right? How did you manage to get it for so cheap?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:
No, what I meant was that the extra 250$ it would've taken for me to get a SGSII is a big deal for me. I got my SGS for a 6 month old HTC Desire + 150$
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ovrclck:
Hey guys, trying to flash my brother's Eris and didn't realize it already had Amon_ra for the recovery. When trying to load rom from zip with ra, it doesn't find any roms unless I flash update.zip which loads clockwork, then I'm able to load the rom. But it keeps FCing upon loading..stupid me didn't make a nandroid :eek:

Luckily I'm able to access the SDcard in windows. To fix this, do I need to reflash Amon Ra’s Recovery Image or manually push a rom over via adb?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ovrclck:
pheww. Looks like the eris didn't like OMFGB, tried redownloading it 3 times and each time it fcing upon boot. Tried a different rom with no fcing so far. :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjonesfan921:
I'm already rooted and already flashed the bionix rom for 2.1.

However, I've switched back.

My question is, can I just flash to any version? Let's say the simply honey one for example?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
read install instructions for the rom you want to flash, most can just be flashed over another but recommend going back to 2.1 but not necessary

coming and going to some roms need you to start at 2.1

so just be sure to reead the op and some of the thread :)

[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
Simple question. How many of you are truly disappointed in the EVO 3D and consider it a downgrade to the original EVO? Why?

Edit:I'm not one of the people who think it is a downgrade. I have seen several people say it and I wanted to know why they think so.
[HTC EVO 3D] tinybfk:
Your on meth
[HTC EVO 3D] dca1970:
I'm very disapointed in the camera, (locking up, low light pics, missing features) force closes, and volume. I'd say its a downgrade as it stands right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] ls3mach:
It does kind of suck. I mean nothing that it does poorly, just not worth the money. It has almost no features over the Evo 4G and get much worse battery life. That and the charging port is in a stupid location. No HDMI meow, kind of. 4GB storage, what a laughable and BS spec. I do LOVe me some camera button though!

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:

[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
USB port location blows. Aspect ratio blows. Stuck with Sense, which blows. Performance and battery life on par with my modded EVO4G, which was great on the 4G, but, for a new $700 phone blows...(I only paid $24)...The camera is better than the 4G, but still not stellar. 720p framerate still blows, though the audio is way better and in stereo...

But on the plus side? Now I have 2 cameras I'll never use on my phone, lockscreen is rad, and 3D headaches! Camera button is boss tho.

lol, srsly I love the phone...I can live with the charging port and I'll come to terms with the horrible aspect ratio thanks to the killer resolution...though that is what I hate the most.

...oh yeah, bootloadar sux0rz
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
But how my 3D takes way better pics than my Evo 4G ever did. Less noise as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
Nope, painkillers :p

Interesting but I have to disagree with everything you posted here, except the camera button. I'm slightly bias because mine only cost me $50, but I still would have paid $200 for it. No features over the Evo 4G? Really?

Not to mention upgraded wireless capabilities. The charging port location is subjective. Idk what "No HDMI meow" means but the charging port is compatible with an MHL adapter. And regardless of what is adverstised for the storage (that's another debate) what we actually get to use stock is about double what we got from the Evo 4G stock...

Nah...something is wrong with his 4G. To be fair, so long as the lighting was good (or really good) my 4G took awesome pics. I understand the physics behind it so low-light pics looking like poo never really bothered me...

But, yeah, dude needs to wipe the 4G's lense...I've seen sharper pictures taken from inside a foggy otterbox defender.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I suggest returning your phone then, the performance is significantly better than the EVO 4G. I have the 3D and the 4G and the 3D is way better, especially with the battery. My dad has a EVO 3D and the thing lasts him all day with just browsing the internet and checking emails... I don't know how you are experiencing bad battery because mine has been awesome compared to my EVO 4G. If people are going to complain so much about the phone, then return it! Were all still under the 30 day return policy.

I'm tired of seeing these stupid complaints... Especially when people go out of their way to make a thread about it...

It is not that... It is just people complaining in general... In almost every thread there is negative feedback... Heck there are people who complain about the bootloader. Funny thing is, the bootloader was known from the start. I feel like they are pressuring the people who are attempting to unlock it because of the constant complaints.. it is like they don't have faith in TeamWin or whoever also is attempting to unlock it.
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:

True on one hand, but if people are giving reasons no matter the validity of those reasons it is no longer spam
[HTC EVO 3D] :
It is when there are multiple threads.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Is my post lacking the confirmation bias you so desire?

I have done side-by-side use of both phones, many times...while the EVO4G's football-field sized pixels hurt my eyes to look out the performance difference is barely noticeable.

During work days I have a very specific usage pattern. My EVO4G had damned good battery life (even overclocked, I swear I got better battery life than underclocking, definitely better than stock speed). I'm not saying the 3D battery life sucks, quite the opposite. It's fantastic compared to a stock 4G. But I had a tuned 4G that got awesome battery life...and the 3D has a nearly identical response to my usage pattern. I hit all of the same battery-life percentages at the same points in the day...except the 'off charge 10% drop in 5 minutes' part, but, I think that was a cosmetic fix more than anything.

In my day-to-day use while the 3D is certainly faster to some degree, definitely smoother (and that's with 35% more pixels to push) it isn't staggering...and it isn't anything a non-phone-nerd would even come close to noticing...so it's faster, but, it isn't saving me any time.

I think the battery life is great but not impressive and I think the phone is very fast, but not impressive--though I'm sure once things are tweaked to be more dual-coriented there will be staggering increases in performance. But we just ain't there yet.

I dunno man, it seems like you can't be subjective in your dealings with this phone...As an adult that purchased a very expensive tool (and toy) I feel it is my duty to be honest with myself about my experience with the device...any less would be dishonest...and being dishonest to ones self? That's just messed up.

Take it back? If it isn't unlocked I probably will...this phone is capable of so much more. Do I like it? Without a doubt. But no so much as to be blind to reality.
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:

[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
O i understand. It bothers me a bit too. But at the end of the day this is an open forum, people are always gonna find something to cry about, and people want stuff to talk about rather than just when we will get S-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I can see where people come with these complaints, but I find it annoying when they are scattered everywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Maybe I wouldn't have been as disturbed by this if I just didn't see multiple threads on the daily basis. If i disrespected anyone in any way, I am sorry. I love XDA, and in the end we are all family.
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
Just a general comment. People don't have to like everything you like. We are not all going to agree. At the same time, complaining about people complaining is still just complaining. I know some of it gets blown out of proportion. But if you don't want to see people complaining about the phone and you see a topic entitled "3D downgrade" it might not be in your best interest to open it...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I never stated people have to like what i like, may you point that out? As for the rest, fair enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
This was not an attck on you. You seem to be very confrontational today. My first sentence clearly states that it was a general statement.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Sorry, figured since I was last one to voice my opinion. My ignorance for assuming.
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
See that's the thing you are comparing a rooted optimized Evo 4G with a life span of a year + to an stock Evo 3D that has been out a couple weeks, and the 3D still comes up the winner in every comparison you mentioned (unless I misread something ) Just wait til this baby gets rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
Not a problem. I opened this topic up for debate. The problem happens when hostility rises from that debate. So no harm no foul.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I agree with every word you said...

...unfortunately, I am also doing what you said to do...and it's future is uncertain, and that really sucks.
[HTC EVO 3D] ls3mach:
I stand behind that. Also cost is of 0 concern to me. Not only is my bill free but so was my phone! I would be not overly happy if I paid $200 for this sucker.

Seems a lot of people in this thread are defending this phone. I get the processor is faster, but it isn't even noticeable in my opinion. It doesn't do really anything better or new. It is a mediocre upgrade. Crap man, I guess money means different things to different people. I would still keep it only due to me always having the flagship phone. I have carried the most hi-tech phone from Sprint since the Treo 600. If I was with another carrier I would have their coolest phone. I can't pretend though that this one is anymore useful to me than my Evo 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
One thing we need to keep in mind is that a member of TeamWin said it is possible. Someone asked if it is, and he said he wouldn't be wasting his time if it wasn't possible. I have faith in these people, they are knowledgeable in what they do.
