[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 300k:
Need help in deciphering this.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 300k:
My friend wants to install a sense 3.0 ROM on his G2. He asked me because I've already done rooting and installed ROMs. My phone is the HTC Incredible, so rooting is different and the ROMs are created differently. I can across this but got stumped on what exactly to do. I want to make sure i do it right. All help is appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
That is a fairly well written guide, what stumped you?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 300k:
Number 11 to the end. Not so much the process but what I'm looking for to happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
After doing adb reboot recovery you will be back in to clockworkmod recovery.

You will get some error messages, don't worry though it's normal

You then need to do a factory reset. Then either restore your nandroid backup or flash a new rom

Assuming I will probably never use a sense based rom like unity, are there any other benefits to this other than resizing system and data partitions?

No none at all. Might as well stick with the G2 hboot and have more space to install apps. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
Sweet, kinda what I thought too. Thanks for the reply! I'm too impatient for sense roms, plus I like to play a lot of emulators and a vanilla asop build always seems smoother to me, but just my preference :D

[Off-topic] Original Android <3ers!:
My cousin is going to sleep over tonight and he brought his PS3 so that we can pwn some zombies, but when we tried to plug in the HDMI plug into my TV, we get no results. Just a weird screen that has 3 shades of black (if black even has shades). We tried to hold down the PS3 for 2 beeps, but that did nothing. Is there anything else that we can do?
[Off-topic] Original Android <3ers!:
Lol jk got it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chewbz:
Okay guys I know many xda'ers don't hold apple in high regard but my girlfriend is looking to upgrade her blackberry soon. I would just like some opinions of the dinc2 and if anyone has used an ip4 as well and how do they compare? Hows the camera and video capture on dinc2? Also most likely I will be rooting her phone if she gets the dinc2 because she loves miui and wondering how easy it is to root it, Ive read the alpharev thread and I think I have the gist of it. Thanks any thoughts and opinions would be awesome.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I have chick friends that love the inc2, and I have chick friends that love the iphone4, depends on what she or U lol plan to do to it, root, jailbreak, ect..or nothing. if she wants basic go apple. if you want great community support go android.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
Its not like android would be particularly difficult to get the hang of, hell my grandpa uses a Droid X. The iPhone isn't going to do anything the inc 2 can't, at this point I think people buy apple due to the perceived status.

And rooting is very simple, its not "one-click" easy, but if you're computer literate its easy. Literally takes a couple minutes once you're ready to go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chewbz:
I do like the design of apple products but the company and its beloved followers I can't stand. In the end it is up to her but she weighs a lot on my opinion and told her I would ask the fine people at xda as well lol! Also I am cashing out 100 dollars to help pay for it too, and since I got a nexus, I'm hoping she pics the dinc2 ;).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nachobass25:
Put it this way. you can get an iPhone and be stuck with iOS and whatever memory size you happen to choose forever (not to mention feel bitter once the next iPhone comes out).

Or you can get the more recent, more technically advanced DInc2, and be able interchange SD cards and Batteries, and switch HTC Sense, AOSP, or MIUI (which is basically iOS, except better because you can use widgets and everything else that makes Android awesome). In my opinion, if you fall prey to the flashy logos, sleek design and massive marketing and ignore the obvious advantages of the HTC android phones, then you deserve to be pigeon-holed in with the mouth-breathers that stand outside the Apple Store all night waiting for the iPad 3 to come out so it can (not) run flash up to 3X faster!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] franklin270h:
The only problem is I wouldn't get too excited about rooting the Inc2 off the jump because if you get one now it's likely to come with Gingerbread (unless one has been sitting on a shelf for a bit). If you get one, you better get it quick. Froyo had the only known root method and no telling how long it'll take to crack Gingerbread

That said, even in the situation that I didn't root, I have the Incredible 2 and I'd take it over the iPhone easily. HTC sense is really not a bad UI at all, slower than AOSP of course but of all the manufacturer skins on top of Android, Sense UI is by far the most useful.

The biggest problem with the iPhone 4 (to me) is that it doesn't really multitask and the hardware is starting to get a bit dated. The iPhone 4 isn't "slow" by any means, but most modern Android phones will run circles around it. The Dinc2 has good battery life too, I have to absolutely abuse mine for it not to last a whole day easily

If you do happen to get one with Froyo, AlpharevX is as painless as it gets. S-off and it installs clockworkmod recovery for you if you elect to.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chewbz:
Thanks guys, told her what you guys said and she is like 100 % sure she wants the dinc2 :) Now I'm excited, I get to play with 2 phones, hopefully she'll get one with froyo. If not I can always install adw or go luancher if she doesn't like sense.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
If she's coming from Blackberry and uses a ton of photo/video out of the phone the iphone may be better for you.

I switched my wife over from an Inc 1 to the iPhone and she's in love with it. The camera is unrivaled to be brutally honest, it smokes any android phones camera and i'd love for my inc2 to have the same quality.

Basically she's not a tech person, she needed easy, something that took good pictures, and battery. The inc2 has great battery but still nowhere near the IP4.

I've owned both, and I would never personally go back to an iPhone, but for my wife it was perfect for her, and she would never give hers up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kapnkream:
If you get one with Gingerbread on it, you can still S-OFF using the clip method.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
If you're getting it new from Verizon I can't think of why it wouldn't be on froyo, unless HTC is already shipping out new units with gingerbread. Just don't take the OTA if you want root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chewbz:
yeah she told me that she "didn't want to fall to the hype of iphone" lol. She just wants a bigger screen, and she always carries around a point and shoot where ever she goes so camera i'snt really that big of a deal. Also the Dinc2 is 50 dollars less than the iphone at bestbuy. All in all she goes one week to make up her mind lol!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] voxigenboy:
well, the way I see it is that an iphone 4 is pretty much an ipod touch that you can make calls with. the other advantage, which is the main one i'd say, is that if you have a nice sound system in your car and the deck has an AUX in then absolutely nothing can compare with the output quality of an ipod touch/iphone.

ive tried mp3 players from creative, sansa(even with rockbox), sony, etc... even tried different phones(mytouch 3g, htc hd2, samsung galaxy s, and my current incredible 2). no matter how you adjust the eq's or what apps you use(even poweramp), they still do not compare to apple.

but, if you arent planning on doing that in your car then theres no point in getting an iphone4(especially now that android has Plants vs Zombies).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Best advice when choosing a device:

Go to a store with active devices and play with them. Spend some time with them. If you know people with the devices in mind, ask them if you can play with them and get to know them. Make the choice based on your experience, not the advice of others, because it all comes down to personal preference.

As much as I am a big fan of Android and Android devices, and despite the fact that I will never choose an iOS device, I would recommend a person try it before rejecting it.

My sister tried going from a blackberry to an Android device and found one very big legitimate problem with it. She's on Sprint and doesn't have the iPhone as a choice so she went back to blackberry. She liked Android, but that one glaring flaw was enough to push her away from it (at least for now). Of course, the same flaw exists on the iPhone so she's doomed to be stuck on blackberry (yeah, I hate blackberry).

If you want to know the flaw: She can make calls and do certain tasks without looking at her device. With Android, she was unable to do this. I'm betting with something like a Droid Pro this wouldn't be an issue, and the voice command features Android has acquired more recently would help a little, but it's not where she could get as proficient at it as she is with her blackberry.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Just out of curiosity, what kind of certain tasks? Is it a difference between having physical buttons versus softkeys?

EDIT: NVM.. I think I figured out what you might be referring to. That's an issue I have as well, but voice is a big help in it (even if not 100%).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Something like that. It's mostly a problem with her particular usage. She gets tactile feedback for what she is trying to do and can generally get things done without looking at her device. She's a pretty big multitasker so this is important to her. Unfortunately, this also helps her use her device in the car (I wish she wouldn't TBH).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Tactile feel = knowing keyboard layout. I was real good at punching out emails on my 9700 without looking at it for most of the email. Same with the car use, which I definitely no longer do (despite the fact that it is now also illegal here).

Curiosity answered.. Thanks. :)

[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Nice.

Funny how this goes in sharp contrast to what Verizon seems to be doing, case in point: the newest OTA for the Thunderbolt, it adds a bunch of Verizon bloatware, not to mention removing the free tethering option that was previously available on the phone.

I also wouldn't mind if it came loaded with bloatware, as long as all of it was easily user-removable, just any other app.

[EVO 4G General] ChainSawDeviant:
I had a nexus s4g that had no bloatware, but it sucked, so I took it back for an evo.. if they can do it for one phone why can't they just do it for the rest? if somebody wanted them they could just dl it from the market, yes?
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
It would be great if the openly allowed rooting to the point where they advertise and make sure the hw makers provide unlocked bootloaders for their network.

Will it happen? No, but it is a nice (water)pipe dream.
[EVO 4G General] asyork:
One of my biggest reasons for rooting in the first place was to get rid of the bloatware. I'm glad they did this after I rooted or I may have never learned all the other great things that come with a rooted phone :)
[EVO 4G General] cleric05:
asyork, tried to thank you... but i reached my limit..

and yeah i wound up trying to do the same thing... unfortunately, i took the OTA update and am stuck until one of the devs figure out a way to S-OFF i'm unfortunately SOL but oh well...

you can use es fileexplorer from the market(free) than enable R/W so you can replace your bootanimation :)

Using a different File manager would change that? Strange but i will try

You can put the boot animation in /data/local anyway, so you don't remove your 'built in' one.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
I've been trying to find the best encoding settings for HD/720p H.264 video for G Tablet with Handbrake and I'm not having much luck. I've followed this article for Notion's tablet (since its also a Tegra 2 tablet) and while the picture is great the playback is jittery. I tried lowing the RF (under Constant Quality) to 25 but it produces the same jitters.

Changing the video codec from H.264 to MPEG-4 (FFmpeg) actually produces little to no playback issues but the picture quality isn't as great (its still good though), but I prefer to use H.264.

Any one have any luck encoding HD H.264 video for their G Tablet? If so, can you share your settings?

Thanks in advance

P.S. - I'm running VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 and using VPlayer, RockPlayer and QQPlayer to play back the videos (they're all suffering from jittery playback).

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssseee:
My gTablet keeps crash with custom ROMS. This problem has been raised before, but I still don't have a definite answer.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1017839.html

"a full crash where the system totally locks up with a single color on the screen with two sets of dotted lines on the left side of the screen (in landscape). The color varies but the dotted lines are always there."

For me, it only happens with custom ROMs. Stock ROMs are very stable. But I really like those custom ROMs.

My questions are:

1. Is this a hardware crash or software crash?

2. If you overlock or undervoltage your CPU too much, the system will be unstable and eventually crash. Does the crash look like what described above?

3. I read that some custom ROMs tweaks CPU frequency or voltage. I was wondering if I install custom ROMs but use stock CPU settings, the system will be more stable.

[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Just rumors that AOSP will not work because of the dual cameras. Someone said if Cyanogen goes, all other devs will go too. As Nate and the other guy said, they can disable one camera and leave out the 3D features in CM.

I really don't get all the fuss about AOSP. I used CM7 a lot on the Evo and it is nice, but between Launcher Pro and Sense 3.0 I'm more than satisfied. In any event, I think Cyanogen would want to take on the challenge of getting a ROM to work on the 3d, versus just moving on to another device.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
Who gives a crap about the damn 3d, I used it for 2 days to get the oohs and ahhs and now I'm done. If cyanogen can bake in something as complex as 4G doesn't it seem like they can get a cam working?
