[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
I'm using Salvage Mod right now, and before that I used Fresh EVO for a very long while, but I'm looking to change once more. What I'm looking for is a ROM that is quick, smooth, and has all features working (For example my GPS doesn't work well currently in Salvage Mod). Could anyone recommend me some names to check out?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
Synergy RC2. Its fast, stable, and feature rich. I use navigation constantly for work (sometimes up to 20 destinations a day) and its just as good as stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calishooter:
Mym's Warm 2.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
Will definitely be looking into this, thank you!

I was hearing a lot of talk about MIUI so I decided to check that out. It seems...interesting. I'm not sure how I like the removal of the app drawer (Maybe it's back in there now, the video I watched laying out the ROM was months and months old), but it could be worth checking out.

Still open to suggestions. I might end up wiping and flashing a few different ROMs just to get a feel for which I like best.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calishooter:
Sorry I ment Myn's Warm 2.2 get the latest version. It's just like fresh but better
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatrwannabe3:
Synergy was a little boring for me, you're on an AOSP ROM now if you want a good Sense ROM try King's Alliance, lots of themes and such to try. I like EvolvedROM myself and am using the version 2.0. Very quick, nice visuals. If you liked Fresh try Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
I'll check out Myn's as well. Also, I don't mind staying AOSP. I don't mind not having sense at all. I actually prefer ADW.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
I agree that visually its not great, but there is a fantastic theme made by _Burst_ called plurstaralpha http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1149482 that is significantly cool. I very much recommend the theme as I have tried very many roms and themes and this one for as incredibly stable as it is, looks EXCEEDINGLY cool.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
I didn't really like MIUI. I then gave Synergy a shot next and I love it. I'm gonna stick with this! Thanks for the help, guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralSky2004:
I'm sure you have already figured this out, but MIUI doesn't have an application drawer. You can put all items in a folder, and then dock the folder, but it doesn't have a dedicated drawer. It also doesn't contain 4G capabilities.

You were on an AOSP Rom, so I would advice Cyanogen, if you haven't already looked into it. I am currently running their nightly builds (I flash every time they have an update that intrigues me.) and they are working fine. I'm currently on 143 with no issues. GPS works fine, 4G is working, etc. The Rom is very quick, you can install a different launcher if you wish, but it comes with ADW stock. You can flash customer kernels/Ram optimization scripts to make it fly and contain perfect battery life. I also ran RC1 of CM7.1 and it was fine as well, no issues with any of the features. I prefer the nightlies simply because they add new features into it to "test" before they release them into a "stable" version.

I have no objections when it comes to Sense, except for the bloat that it has. My favorite Sense based Rom I ran on here at the moment would have to be Synergy RC2. It was fast and ran fine, however, HTC has yet to drop the source code for their kernel, so you are stuck with their stock one which provides contributes to the already mildly depressing battery life that Sense will give you.

All in all, there are plenty of awesome Roms on here. People can talk all day about why one Rom is their favorite or why they prefer it over another, it all comes down to personal preferences. I would run the suggested ones that seem to interest you and see which ones you like the best.

Hope I helped, even if it wasn't much. :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
Great post! You seem to know your stuff, mate. Well, as much as I love Synergy if the battery life isn't great, then I might have to give it the boot. As for the CM7 nightly builds...what exactly does that mean? Does it mean there will be a new ROM every night that I would have to download and then flash again? Or is it an automatic update that occurs? Or what?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorwin:
They make a new build of the rom almost every night, adding new features and bug fixes to the rom. You can follow the change log, and download the new rom and flash whenever something interests you. You dont have to wipe data, you can just install over the existing rom without losing your settings, but always make a backup just in case.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
Interesting. Glad to hear that about the data wipe, though. I'm going to have to look into this stuff. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
Actually, I have one last question! When installing the nightly, do I have to first install the stable version? Or can I just wipe everything and install the 87MB nightly. I ask because 87 megs just seems small for a ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralSky2004:
It's 87 Megs because it's Cyanogen. :) That is exactly why I don't like Sense, due to the "bloat" it gives the Rom. Synergy is about 290MB I believe, Cyanogen is 90MB. Lol the nightlies are the complete Rom, you can wipe and flash them. You don't have to install the stable version first.

Keep in mind, the nightlies do contain issues every once in a while. Like I stated previously, I am on 143 and it is running perfectly for me. I will update once they put an update out that gets me excited. :P

Edit - You may find this neat, if you like the Sense feel but are on Cyanogen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbieX2:
I like ADW launcher the most, so I'll be stickin with that bad boy. It's default with CM7 IIRC? That should do it for me. I had no idea Sense took up so much space, though...that is ridiculous.

Since you've got no issues with 143 and have helped me out so much I'll start there if I decide to make the switch. Synergy has some reeally awesome features that I like, but I should be able to part with it if CM7 has it's own weapons. Gonna try to find some videos for it now.

Thanks for all the help, man!
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
I'm having this problem for awhile, tried different things all end up when tethering my phone shuts off about 45min to 1h of tethering.

Currently on EC05, stock rom and wifi tether 3.0 pre 12 but tried them all and going down in version for more stable one.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Settings, choose device build and select the Epic.

Also, make sure 4G radio is OFF before starting it.
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
I have all that selected still no luck.
[Epic 4G General] Magic Oreo:
this happened to me on ef02 it only worked when plugged in to a power source.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I'd suggest uninstalling that one and switching to Barnacle Tether. I recall the WiFi Tether app having technical issues that the dev couldn't get around.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:

the latest beta works. unistall the stock one first. (manually like with root explorer) then install. then reboot.

will work fine =)

Geez that made my phone unbootable (had back up) but made me more searching around that post so thank u. Since I'm on EC05 that didn't work but found patch that modified framework and now pure hot spot working without wifi tether, thanks again. The download is in the beginning of that original post call framework something read how to install.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianken:
I returned a gtab a while ago since it could not play 24p smoothly. The 10.1 is somewhat better but so far in terms of smoothness it is bested by my N1 and Sensation.

So, what settings are folks using on their encoding? I'm using Handbrake.

I've found that the device cannot do high profile, a limitation of the tegra2 I think, a bummer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodoomagic:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

The tab can do 720p high profile.

With one notable exception, the latest leaked TW rom from calkulin for some reason can't.

But if you're using stock HC 3.1, Bonsai or the euro version of TW it should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeandujardin01:
use that preset with Handbrake & you'll be fine
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianken:
Based on the linked thread I gave dice a try and things are good. Will give the profile a try as well.

Thanks guys!

Edit: It looks like High Profile works, but not in all cases. My dream of dragging my 720p rips and just using them are not gonna happen. No biggie.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
FYI if that's my handbrake profile he linked, I've seen reports that the scaling settings I saved don't get loaded. If it's not scaling to a max of 1280 horizontal, 800 vertical, you should set these. Unless you're using the HDMI output you're wasting storage space and encoding time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thElement:
All of you are wrong. You cant use 1280 x 800 resolution because the task bar takes up 48 vertical pixel.

None of you are encoding videos correctly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeandujardin01:
it might be yours, im not sure because i wanted to just quote the owner's post but i delete my history so couldnt find it, think i quoted in another post, anyway thanks a lot! :)

Lol. Don't feed the troll.:-)

After chatting with the dev for diceplayer it turns out tegra chokes on wheighted p frames. I've gotten 720p24 with cabac and 8x8 working fairly well. Tegra2 does not have robust high profile support.

I'm using the Floyo 1.0 rom.

Is there a way to turn the gingerbread turn off animation off? I don't really like it plus I think it may be the reason why my phones screen sometimes just stays black and i have to do a battery pull ( it happens quite often). Also, sometimes it lags when i try to turn the phones screen on.

Thank you :)

you can turn it off only in cm7, try GingerDX, it's really good and smooth rom :)

Before i start blabbering about my problem, im going to give a little background about myself. I have worked with cellphones since 2008 and im not a complete noob, i know some stuff so please be considerate.

The problem:My home was broken into a couple of months back, police have not reported anything :(. One of the items that they took was my Touch pro 2 running windows mobile it was not active at that time.

The Question: Is there any way i can ping my phone and find a the location of it. I have the ESN of the phone so i can turn it back on with my carrier (cricket) and the phone will receive calls but the person who has it will does not respond. Unfortunately i did not have no tracking software in my phone which means i cant track it with GPS.

Who ever finds the solution!!!!

=====---IF some on here finds a solution to my problem (come on developers) I WILL PERSONALLY REIMBURSE YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!!!----======
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rick1475:
Possible solution

E911, When a call is made to 911 they can track where the call is coming from. Is this technology available to end users like myself? if any one has any info i will appreciate it so much.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rataplan:
I don't think you can track down your phone, the best thing to do is call your phone company they should be able to trace it.

Greetz,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rick1475:
I think to some xtent their is a way to track down the location of the phone with wireless signal towers its all about the HOW TO though, once again any input is WELCOMED!. if you have a solution to my problem i will PAY YOU$$$
[Xoom General] iammodo:
Well it seems yoshitweaky has solved the problem it has worked on his Xoom and mine so it seems we have a working solution.

This is the instructions from their post on page 3 please find the post and thank yoshitweaky if you are using this method.

Ok I got everything working needed a bit of a mod to the original keylayout for the keyboard as I had to add some more keymaps back in to support all the keys.

so you are welcome to test, please backup your files first!

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BREAKING ANYTHING, THIS IS YOUR CHOICE. Backup your files and it'll be fine, better still do a nand, its probably time anyway

You'll need root access to try this

the installation it's really simple:

1. With a root explorer, go into /system/usr/keychars

2. Make a backup copy of the file Generic.kcm

3. copy the new Generic.kcm.txt into the mentioned directory

4. Rename Generic.kcm.txt into Generic.kcm

5. Fix permission read / all, write / proprietary, exec / none.

6. go into /system/usr/keylayout

7. Make a backup copy of Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl

8. copy in the new Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl.txt

9. Rename Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl.txt to Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl

10. Fix permission read / all, write / proprietary, exec / none. (1st column = 3, 2nd = top 1 ticked , 3rd = none ticked)

rember

Generic.kcm goes in system/user/keychars

Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl goes in system/user/keylayout

[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
It is much better than I expected. My only complaint is that the height of the sides next to the screen are so tall that it makes touching the edges of the screen difficult. Other than that, it seem well built and it seems to give good protection. It's no Ballistic HC or Trident Kraken though.

its pretty huge....and it makes me kind of sad that such a good looking phone looks like that after you put the case on it, but if i have to choose between being protected from a 5 kiloton nuclear blast or having a cool looking phone ill choose the former
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I totally agree, this is my only real complaint with it as well

I usually wear cargo shorts during the summer (not some hipster wearing skinny jeans) so I've never had an issue with the size and fitting it in a pocket. During the winter it's usually in my coat pocket so size is never an issue there either. I like the grippyness of the silicone on the outside, and I like how the camera and all the ports are covered and protected.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I love mine. Was going to also get the Ballistic HC when it came out but now I may just keep using the Defender
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
I get mine tomorrow! We'll see how it goes. Im excited to see how well the clip works.
[HTC EVO 3D] aramova:
I love mine, but like two others pointed out, it's very hard to hit the left/right edge of the screen for things like pulling down the menu in landscape or moving icons between homescreens.

Other issue is the top portion by the speaker is cut-out for the screen protector, letting dust/etc in under the screen protector and smudging the forward camera. wish there could of been another solution, but overall it's an awesome case
[HTC EVO 3D] StrumerJohn:
Great Case

Highly recommend it. It makes the phone big though, so not recommended if you like to keep it slim. My opinion is Protection > Size.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mustang67537:
I agree, the steep edges on the sides make tapping the screen on the edges a pain (the 'q/1' and 'p/0' keys on the keyboard have to be touched with the narrow side of your fingertip, same with games that have small menu buttons on the edge, or if I have the screen in landscape mode, its nearly possible to pull down the task bar because you need a farther reach to the edge than your fingers will allow.

ALSO, surprisingly the built in screen protector doesn't do a very good job at keeping dust out, scratches, yes, dust, no. A drop of water even managed to squeeze past the speaker and the edge of the screen protector and work its way to the middle of my damn screen, leaving water spots and dust. Taking it apart constantly to clean both your phone and email the inside of your screen protector is a huge annoyance because it takes me at least 2-3 minutes of prying it open without feeling like I'm going to break the plastic or snap off a clip that secures the case together when closed. I find that it needs cleaning at least once a week, but its just one of the few cons you have to consider when you want the best protection. No kickstand, but the belt clip holster sort of makes for an extremely bulky substitute. All in all, it's like the hulk, built like a tank, ugly as hell, but it's nearly indestructible. I do wish I could see and feel my beautiful investment in all its slim, sleek and sexy glory again, even run my fingers along the glass, but my luck would be that it would slip out of my hands or pocket, hit the edge of the plastic, chip its way to the glass, crack the screen, scratch the rest, create earthquakes, bring about the apocalypse, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] chiefret:
The Defender seems very well built, protecting my phone from any damage. It becomes a very bulky phone compared to no case at all. As has been mentioned, it's difficult to put the checkmarks on the left or right side, because of the bevel of the sides. I was afraid when I bought it that the cover for the screen would inhibit responsive touch, but it works as if it's not even covered. Very responsive. I'd highly recommend this case for those who are clutsy and drop their phone often.
[HTC EVO 3D] rulk:
Same here across the board... Love mine.

A little bit of a pain when I have to swap batteries but not too bad.

With Juice defender ultimate I easily get 10 hours of mixed use out of my cheap ebay batteries and 16 hours out of the original so I normally can get to a charger before needing to charge.
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
Love mine and think I will probably stay with this case for a while . The only issue I ran into with this case was some callers said I sounded muffled . Now if that has to do with the case or an issue with the phone design itself has yet to be determined . Me personally I took a small triangle shaped file and filed the microphone hole in the battery back to be as big as the actual microphone of the phone itself . Across the board I have heard nothing but "you sound very clear" "not muffled at all" Like I said I cant say it was the case or the phone but either way the issue is resolved
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
Sadly I have to dissent. The little mechanism which keeps the clip on the holster open (to act as a kickstand) broke on mine after 11 days, got a new one which broke after 10 days (same place). Wanted to like it but for that much money I shouldn't have to exchange a product 3 times a month.
[HTC EVO 3D] bcoutlander:
I like mine a lot. The only problem I've had is the one others have mentioned; the sides of the case interfere with typing.

Now I just I need to decide if I'm keeping the Evo 3D. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Rell101:
Yeah I love mine also. I like to believe that this phone can take on anything now. For me its all about safety, but I agree with aramova's reply. I do sometimes have an issue with the thickness of the bezel. I haven't really had a problem with the dust though. But before you put it on make sure you know how to open it because I a problem with it the first couple of times.
