I have an iPhone and an evo so I can post all I want lol

Yeah honestly I thought more people would started talking ****. Thanks for looking into it more and giving it a shot guys! I really appreciate it!

lol well sorry didnt mean to get ppl all upset over a QUESTION!:o tht was in no way negative at all lol

iOS superior to Android? Please explain your thesis.

[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
+172826 to that
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
Well, my friend, you have the 2 best phones out there.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
lol I have a 3D as well! I would explain but that would be way to long for me to type right now! In all honestly i explain that **** once a day, im kinda just tired lol. I love android, been running it since 1.0 but I still feel like iOS is superior atm. Android is moving like a snail and if they don't get their **** together even windows phone 7 is going to creep on them. Ill leave it at that.....for today.

Just random though; two words...."hardware acceleration" its huge deal for me at least. Android doesnt have it.
[EVO 4G General] :
Yes, good statement but in my eyes when I obtained my 3G way back when, jailbreaking for widgets and what not is good but Android includes those as Stock. I will not lie though, the iPhone has the best design and battery to date.

I Haz 3D!
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
I don't know about IOS being superior but the iphone as a whole is better than really any android device out there. People might say you feel restrained with an iphone and you can't do this and that but what do you actually do with a multimedia phone? The iphone can send text messages, make and receive calls, play music and videos, surf the web, take great pictures, has lots of great apps and games support, lots of accessory support, lots of integrated connectivity with other products, good build quality, great battery life, and a nice screen even though it's kind of small. What else do you want to do with your phone?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Android isnt going anywhere for a very long time, they just need to step their os up man. Most basic features the os should have aren't even there, the power management in android (kernels, etc) needs works badly, fragmentation needs to stop (moto blur, sense, touch wiz, etc), the list goes on man lol. Im not an apple fan boy whatsoever but iOS is how a mobile platform should function. I hate apples/ steve jobs' practices but you gotta give them credit man. I actually hate sense so im more of an aosp kind of guy; sense is way to heavy on the resources, even on a dual core phone I honestly feels like it runs like ****. Imagine if the 3D would have shipped with aosp mhmmmm :D

Also I like to game, xbox, ps3, you name it. Lets take a look at apples games versus androids games, its a no brainer man. Androids games are just beginning to get little better but long way to go; they only have like 3 games that have real multiplayer support lol. Look at windows phone 7; hardware acceleration is awesome with the games and os; xbox live integration is freaking genius and the games run like a dream man. You can play actual multiplayer games with people over xbox live as if you're playing on the console. Im not trying to be mr negative i love android but im just giving my opinion and some facts! Sorry if i sound like im ranting lol im actually not angry while typing this....
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Really great point man!!!!! I hate when people say "you rather a closed phone than open" I just laugh in my head. If I had an iphone I wouldnt need to flash other roms, or trying to find the right kernel for best battery life because it isnt necessary. Just let me jailbreak and put a few themed icons and im happy lol. Only thing that really gets to me is no flash.....but i can live with that.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
They should make all android devices nexus like. Boom! Fragmentation gone! Can't wait for my nexus to get here tomorrow. More and more it seems like the best overall phone out IMHO.

tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] :
Its cool. I see your point. Im an AOSP guy as well. Apple will always have the leading app development because iPhone is the hottest toy out. Microsoft will be on top hardwear wise because they are great at it along with multimedia capabilities. Android really doesnt have anything that sticks out. Its the developers that make our devices lead with customization.

I Haz 3D!
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Im probably gonna have to agree with you. After having 4 evo 3D's with dead pixels I blew a fuse. I packed my 3D in the box didnt even peel the plastic or turn on the 4th one and put an ad to sell it on craigslist. All 4 of my 3D's had mad problems man but thats what i get for buying a launch phone. I usually wait a good while before getting a brand new phone; last launch phone I bought was the very first iphone 2g lol. I found an HTC wp7 arrive on craigslist for 150 and ive been using that so I can sell my 3D. After I sell it i might pick up a nexus s myself!
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
to be honest ...there are wayyyyyy too many similar android devices out there besides a few exceptions. HTC is guility of this...look at how many HTC devices are released that are so similiar to each other. I liked how they did it with the diamond and touch pro; pretty much same device and release it to all carriers instead of thunderbolt here, evo there, mytouch over there...competition is good but this is just getting ridiculous. If they had similar hardware instead of a few changes and different names then there would be less fragmentation
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
Couldn't have said it any better
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I got lucky. I was going to trade my EVO + cash for one but I noticed my EVO had charging port problems. I tool it in and they swapped it for a nexus, should be here tomorrow.

[EVO 4G General] :
There really is too many android phones to be honest. Htc, lg, sammy, moto, etc... Too many damn companies for 1 OS. Theres like 150 something android devices right?

I Haz 3D!
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
way to many man i believe its up there in the hundreds for sure, not to mention im not counting the overseas models out of the U.S.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
To be quite honest, my EVO 4G and EVO 3D work really well out of the box and while the battery life isn't amazing, I can usually get 20 hours out of the 4G and ~30 out of the 3D. Any issues I have usually come after I root and flash custom ROMs, kernels, etc.

In my experience I find Android to be superior to iOS. I switched from an iPhone after using a 3Gs for a little while. While it is a great device capable of just about anything any other smartphone is, I just find the UI to be a little stale and boring. This is one area where I think Android shines; the ability to personalize out of the box, without root and custom ROMs. I enjoy the use of widgets and the way they let me see all pertinent information in a glance-able format on my main screen. In addition, the notification system is pretty much perfect, hence the reason Apple has replicated it in iOS5.

I agree that the whole closed source vs open source isn't the greatest argument in the world, but what it has allowed is truly very nice, yes- custom ROMs. While it isn't a necessity to use custom ROMs, and I don't switch back and forth very often, it is very nice to be able to use both MIUI and CM7 when I get tired of one or the other or just want a fresh change.

I think in the future iOS will become more like Android in its ability to personalize and use widgets while I see Android becoming more iOS like in refinement and polish. It will be interesting to see what the future brings but for now it is great to have great options and solid competition.

Applauds!

[EVO 4G General] poppntagz:
I dont have an EVO but I feel the same way. I had a samsung epic and just couldn't find any good apps for games and the 3 music production apps are terrible. Another problem with the apps were that it might work on this phone but not on that one. While rooting and all that stuff is cool and open the phone up, i just hated doing it. Everything would be going fine then one day my text wouldn't work, or picture messages, or gps, or it would start freezing, etc. Then you would have to re-root and the long process of restoring everything. I jumped ship for the iphone now and went a whole day and a half without touching a charger vs my phone dying in two hours without me touching it. Another problem I had with my droid was email attachments. Most of the time they wouldnt download.

Im not gonna lie, the iphone has its flaws as well and my miss my widgets but with my experience the ios is better

ji i just downloaded the lg optimus 3d system dump for the home launcher but it comes along with the odex file..what do i do to make the home launcher work on evo??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
You can try to deodex then push to phone. Keep in mind that launcher.apk depends on framework files also...

You need framework folder from the LG rom. This in terminal.

baksmali -d framework-folder -x launcher.odex -o out

smali -Xmx512M -o classes.dex out

Place classes.dex inside apk.

adb push launcher.apk system/app/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
I should note that this prolly won't work because the dependencies are there in the evo framework without tweaks...but it is a good starting point. :-)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grhand82:
First what's the status of honeycomb coming to the flyer? What's your take on how Sense works? How do the native apps flow with regards to performance and productivity? For the price do you feel this is a solid 7 inch tab or an oversized phone that doesn't make calls? Honestly what's your overall take on the product?

Thanks guys and I'm looking forward to your input.

Peace and keep it up.

Completely wrong forum. This is for development and posting of ROMs, kernels, and similar tools. Why did you post this here? This should be in the "General" subforum. Are there are already several threads very similar to this, that will answer your questions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grhand82:
I am a noob. Just got chewed out on another device forum right after I posted this. Sorry. Didn't quite understand the difference in where to put my posts. Won't happen again. Anyone feel free to close this thread.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
First off....yes I've done alot of researching.

Thing is that there is soo much info that it is a little overwhelming.

As I understand....I can switch back and forth from 2.2 & 2.3.x and back thru cwm ....difference being that while in 2.3.x I cannot view the recovery screen but can still flash back thru cwm. And when I return to 2.2 I get recovery back so long as I haven't flashed the bootloaders for 2.3.x.

The reason im asking this is becuz I don't have a comp right now so using someone elses comp to odin back is a bit of a hassle for me.

Thanks for any and all input
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
I can't speak for others but I can say personally I've done it many times without odin. I have nand backup of 2.2 on my phone. I have not installed gingerbread bootloaders. When I want to flash 2.3 roms, I factory reset and flash it. Sheree that I can't see recovery ofcourse. To switch back to my 2.2 backup, I keep kernel s like bali, overstock or any stock voodoo kernel on the phone. I use sgs kernel flasher from the market to flash those 2.2 kernel s. That puts the phone in bootloop but gives me red recovery. I then factory reset and restore my 2.2 backup. Has worked every time so far...btw everytime means atleast 20 times here.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwleonhart:
Switching from 2.2 to 2.3 is fine, it will update as necessary.

Switching back down to 2.2, do as Alex recommended and you'll be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
Thank you very much guys! This was exactly what I needed to hear :-)

Edit: wow I'm running minui now and it is going to take some getting use to....lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
Actually I'm pretty sure you will need odin coming from cm7 or muiu. I don't think sgs kernel flasher will work since cm7 and muiu are all asop.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
It don't work I'm stuck in miui without a comp to Odin back......what a joke :-/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Just go to the stickies and pull all the goodies for Odin. It doesn't take that long to set up. Then you can just flash the GB bootloaders. Remember the GB BLs are backwards compatible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
By backwards compatible,do you mean that with gb bl's they work fine with 2.2?

Also I thought when on one 2.3 rom I could easily jump around to any 2.3 rom like with 2.2........but cwm is not allowing me to do this
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
You could jump around fine from any touchwiz based 2.3 rom (simply honey, asgard, malice) but not cm7 or miui
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin_X:
bootloaders for vibrant are backward compatible, you may have an extra boot splash logo but everything works the same. flashing bootloaders can be dangerous....So i would personally recommend staying on GB bootladers
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin_X:
CM7 and MUIU Roms are different, you can't jump back and forth from them because they use different file systems. they are much more complicated. the only way out is to odin back to stock I believe
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
Lol I love the learning experience. :-D......also very much appreciate the tutoring without the flaming,you guys are very helpful...Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Odin'ing back is probably the easiest way to get back. Flashing the bootloaders CAN be dangerous, but just follow the directions and voila! Not flashing bootloaders just cause it COULD cause problems is like not driving your car cause you COULD crash and burn into a fireball.

Just sayin... ;)

But yes, they will work on Froyo roms as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
We were all noobs at one point in time. Just continue to read and read and search and search again. Almost anything that could go wrong with the Vibrant has most likely already happened, and is searchable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitality:
can you go from CM7 to MIUI directly or do you need to go back to stock first?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
As it appears ....you have to Odin back first
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
Erm sorry mate, should ve mentioned cm7 and miui. I just assumed that its understood that you can't switch back from those without odin. All gingerbread roms have that in their first posts in no uncertain terms.

Ok well im back on 2.2 although I must say.....that miui rom is really amazing I mean REALLY AMAZING lol.....I loved it but I really need my gps so im back im going to look into the other ginger roms though,but rest assured ill be playing with the ones I can switch back and forth from....till I get another comp Which will be soon since school starts soon and my kids have to have one sooo.

Edit: dang im already missing the miui lol....I wonder how long I can hold back ;-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
I've put my phone back on 2.2 and am going to leave it there. Having a heater in my pocket using up the battery 2x faster than normal and never knowing where I am got a little old. Mostly the battery part. If there's ever a leak, I'll go back, otherwise.. this phone's on 2.2 until I buy a new one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
Yea the battery drain was pretty bad ill agree with ya but I have 4 batteries now and an external charger.....the gps is my biggest concern if not just to know where im going......than for telling my wife how to find me when my jeeps broke down or stuck somewhere :-/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
I bought a "power skin" from T-Mobile with a 50% off coupon which they are still doing... and its amazing. It slips over my vibrant like a skin but has a battery in it and it charges my vibrant when it gets low. Then at night I charge the "power skin". So now I run trigger #15 on full settings and full brightness. Btw you print the coupon off T-Mobile Facebook page. Normal price is 54.00 us. If your wondering why I didn't get a seidio? My wife got conned into buying this instead and I love it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok I think I'm missing something here....I don't really see what all the hype is over 2.3 outside of a few theme tweaks ....I've just played with 2 local 2.3 roms (I wont name) and I didn't see what was so special. Compared to the latest 2.2 roms I'm not noticing any real difference in speed or tweaks or theme.

Is it just becuz the latest 2.2 roms have become that good or am I missing it?

Now with Miui I saw major differences that I really liked but the dead gps is holding me back on that one
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatever5:
GB roms differ from most 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms because most gb roms are based on cyanogen which uses mtd/ yaffs2 (like nexus one) they are faster overall .... also gps has been fixed and most gb roms now have a "half assed" gps fix btw that is a quote from a dev not an insult. Gb is also feature rich because cm and miui integrate theming with an app letting you modify and personalize your phone down to everything including boot animations and status bars (MIUI especially) but battery is arguably not as good as on non gb roms but there are ways around that since the bali kernel came to gb
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
The last time I was on MIUI I was able to get about 14 hours out of one charge. I flashed around a little bit and ended up going back to the same MIUI and can't seem to get the same battery life anymore.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeJennni:
Ok this will simplify things for you. My wife's vibrant is 2.2 I am running trigger #15 my benchmark score was 2666 hers was 922... my wife wouldn't notice a difference but I would. I was watching her fps at like 22 in the test and mine was flirting with 70 at certain peaks. Her phone ranked mid level and mine was at the top. Hope that helps.. keep in mind when my wife uses my phone she doesn't notice a difference.. but that doesn't mean anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jdom58:
Ok let's compare apples to apples, your wifes phone must be running the stock rom the phone came with or if it's a custom rom then voodoo is not enabled.

I'm running Bi-Winning V3 with the Bali kernel (see sig) and my benchmark score is 2155 and I'm running 64.7 FPS. It's a 2.2.1 rom but everything works perfectly including the GPS and Compass and I"m getting close to 2 days on a single charge with moderate use. Trigger 3.3 beta a 2.2 rom will give you similar scores and about 16 hrs of use.

I'm not knocking the CM7 or GB roms but there really is not much difference in functionality between the CM7/GB roms and these, maybe a few customization tweaks but that's pretty much it. IMHO I've tried the CM7 and most all GB roms just to test them and see how they run but keep going back the Bi-Wining or Trigger when I want everything working.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
+1. I'm agreeing with jdom58 on this
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok 1 more question......comingfrom simply honey do I really need to flash a froyo kernel putting myself into a bootloop to get into red recovery to flash back to 2.2 if I so decide or can I just flash lets say project v thru cwm?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef_w:
So, I've got a question.

I've gone back and forth from 2.2 to 2.3.x a few times, and my path back always includes flashing a 2.2 kernel, bootlooping -> red recovery, factory reset and then flash a 2.2 ROM.

For the first time, though, I'm still getting the rainbow (no 2.3 bootloaders installed) on initial startup. It's not as bad as it was in 2.3.x and it doesn't stick around into the OS at all, but I'm just curious if anyone knows why it's still there? I can also still access recovery, albeit after watching the rainbow screen for a couple seconds. Weird.

I suppose that I could odin to JFD or install the GB bootloaders, but I'm more interested in finding out how some remnants of my 2.3.x build are still there.

Thanks everyone!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef_w:
I've found this to be the simplest way. CWM can sometimes be buggy and I personally like being able to navigate the recovery myself to flash a new ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
OK now that I had a taiste of miui I couldn't take 2.2 or the other 2.3 rom's I've been playing with the past few days I am now back to miui but this time I'm on miui.us. and its flat out AMAZING plus the gps works perfectly

Proudly presenting You the first supported FLYER Rom for the Incredible:​

Hey guys,

this was a hard job and we spend many hours and nights on it. Finally we got it booting for every device. Please remember that this port is still a work in progress. It is not a daily driver for now. We dont know the bugs. The most related things should work. The rom also need resizing. We work close with the Evo 4G team which do that. We need all bug report. Most things are: Network, Wifi, Bluetooth, Rotation, Camera, Camcorder, 3G, Call, Messaging and so on. Please do not report resize problems or ui fails.The ROM is a work in progress, so it wouldn't hurt if the thread get some touch ups here and there too. If you want to donate you can do it, we will split all donations in the team. Read the whole thread. In first post you will find all important things, in second post there is the changelog. Before asking a question check this thread and the Homepage. If you have problems which only have you make a Full EXT4 Wipe...​

It was a hard and long job and if you wish to use this rom as base ask me. When not we will talk to a mod.​
