Considering all the negative comments in this thread, I just had to stop in and say well done!

Only one quick question, what is it mounted to behind the plastic? are you attached just to plastic? (I'm assuming not?) or was there something a little more structural behind the plastic that you managed to screw in to?

I'm personally still debating what (if anything) I will do for a car mount. I'm currently thinking of adapting an old laptop mount I have lying around for a floor mount, but I may just skip it alltogether because I already have other nav screens visible already.

Now I should make it clear that I'm not exactly squeamish about modifying my vehicle (Considering the 4 radios, 3 GPS units, alarm, turbo timer, stereo, inverter, after market reversing, driving, and daytime running lights, not to mention additional power outlets, modifications to seat reclining, swivel, and sliding mechanisms, re-wiring of the heated seat controls, and modifications to the skid plate attachments... I think I'm ok with modifying my vehicle... (the scary part is I did more on some of my previous vehicles!)) though I do tend to make things look a little more stock (well, maybe stock isn't the right word... how about "professional"?) but I always take practical over pretty when forced to choose.

To those who are afraid to kill the resale value of the car... who did you buy the vehicle for? yourself? or the next guy? Now I do my best to make most of my modifications removable without too much lasting harm, but really, I bought the vehicle to do what *I* need, not what some guy who *MIGHT* buy the vehicle from me 5-10 years down the road might want. I'm not going to spend those years compromising on functionality just because someone in the future might pay a few dollars less for it in the end... for all I know the next buyer might actually like some of my modifications and keep them! (Assuming there even is a next guy)
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
Since it was completely empty back there, I put in a flat long metal piece and used nuts behind there. Just imagine a sandwich.

If you follow my link a few posts ago to my hardware mod with the transformer, you will realize that I buy things not for the next person I sell it to but for myself. Like I said, if people are afraid of this car mod, then they'd be terrified of what I had done with my asus transformer.

BTW, I've been swimming in asus transformer docks. People have been sending them to me so I could add in big-ass hard drives for them. In other words, at least there are still a few people out there who want to enjoy life more than keeping the value of what they own. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
now there's a method that I quite likely would not have thought of! Should be good and solid though, That video was impressive, I was expecting more of a shake. If I do decide to mount mine, I definitely have to be carfeul about that, driving a diesel vehicle means everything tends to shake.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
Hm... With a diesel vehicle, you'd have to go with metal holder instead of plastic like what I used. In fact, when I have time, I'll be soldering some metal pieces together to make a metal holder. Right now, the holder (top) part is made of plastic. The shaking will wear out over time.
[Acer Iconia A500] BelgianAtheist:
That would be awesome to use with this:

For the moment I have my GS2 on a Brodit clip and am still looking for some way to mount my Transformer without damaging the interior of the car (a company car so I can't do it even if I want to)

That Torque app works really well on the tablet, the extra space for dials is really needed.

[HTC EVO 3D] franky_402:
also make sure htc sync is uninstalled, simply being disabled will not help.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
That's not true. I just exited out of it in the taskbar and everything worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] franky_402:
so then if it is just disabled it still must have some processes running that is interfering with revolution. Fully exiting must close everything then. As long as it works.

Just so everyone knows when my wouldnt work it was sitting at

acquiring root (method 3)...

so if that is happening to anyone make sure htc sync is fully exited or uninstalled! I never used htc sync i had just installed it for drivers so it was no big deal to me to uninstall!!

Next wee, my g/f and I will take a little car drive vacation. We'll be visiting landmarks from Chicago to Kentucky to Virginia to DC and back. So, earlier today, I got a brilliant idea for a car mount that will enable me to use a 10 inch gps. Well, as soon as I got out, I went straight to a hardware store and got the parts. I use the top part of the following car mount and incorporated it into my set up.

http://www.buyincoins.com/details/n...r-cradle-mount-for-ipad-gps-product-2492.html

Here are some pictures. I test already test drove around. Absolutely no obstruction of view whatsoever. Also does not obstruct my radio and other stuff there.

Total cost for parts = $11.
[G Tablet Accessories] tenet420:
Very cool. Any plans on wrapping something around the silver metal, or painting it black or grey?
[G Tablet Accessories] Will Eatforfood:
Love the finished product, but not so keen on the whole drilling holes into your dash. :(
[G Tablet Accessories] goodintentions:
Hahahaha. I'm not an idiot. I actually openned up my car and checked. There's absolutely nothing underneathe there. It is also not in the way of the airbag.

I highly recommend against anyone doing it. The holes can be covered up pretty darn easily. I'm also one who's loyal to my car(s) so I don't usually trade them in for newer ones often. I drive them til they drop dead.

The point is it looks scary to most people because it is.

By the way, here's a sample video of what I used it for.

[YOUTUBE]cKhJ1owgOqY[/YOUTUBE]

Documented my entire trip to DC.
[G Tablet Accessories] goodintentions:
Already did. I'll take a picture of it in the morning. It looks professional now that I've wrapped it in black electrical tape. I've also modified the whole thing to make it look more blended in with the dash.

Does it matter if i format my sd card through the phone or by PC(fat32)?
[HTC Sensation] MathiasMcMurray:
I don't see why it would, as soon as you put it in your phone the phone will put it's folders on there anyway. I don't however, see an advantage to doing it on your computer over doing it in your phone if it will just end up in your phone anyway.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Probably better to do it on the PC,

Most important ,is to back it all up before you format it.

As already mentioned,Android will put back the files it needs

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nonmindo:
Hello everyone, I have been using this and it seems to work great with our phones, I'm currently accessing it through the "bridge" option so i cant test the actual remote desktop or screenshot apps to see if they truely do work with our phones, but the file explorer, webcam and sms apps work GREAT

The "Remote Web Desktop" is a great application that allows you to remotely access many of your android systems commonly used features remotely from any web browser; my personal favorite is the ability to retrieve and send text messages. Other things are available such as the ability to navigate through the file system on the device from a PC. One nice thing is that "SmartDog Software" does that other applications don’t, is it allows you to "bridge" your device through their web portal in case your device isn’t on the same network as the computer. I highly recommend this application

here is a link to it in the market

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery Charging Issue

Clockwork recovery v4.0.1.4 with the purple writing suplied by revolutionary and 4.1.0.5 from rom manager both have an issue with charging. Your phone will not charge if you turn it off.

So if you flashed it via revolutionary.exe or in post one before i before i uploaded the new updated one.

Post one is now updated with the new clockwork recovery 4.0.1.4 with the blue writing that does not have charging issues.

Just follow Step 2 above to flash the new clockwork Recovery v4.0.1.4 and this will fix your charging issues.

the new recovery is orange while the old one was purple

What is a noob?

A noob is someone new to XDA or new to the device and its methods of rooting/customizing. Its not bad being a noob. we we're all their at one stage. i was a noob for winmo in July 2009. I was a noob for Android in October 2010. you tend to learn everything pretty fast. easy to work with android is.

What is S-OFF?

S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC devices is S-ON (write protected), which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root

Do i need Rooting?

An unrooted device is like logging onto the guest account of windows, you can do many things, just not everything

Think of Acquiring root as having Administrator Access on the device, so you can install/modify/fix/break anything you want.

What does clockwork Recovery do?

Clockwork allows you to flash Unofficial Roms and Themes via zip files on your SD card, also you can make backups of your current rom and wipe certain types of memory. (User data, system, boot, cache, dalvik cache)

What is flashing?

(showing your bits off in public?)

NO!

Flashing refers to Downloading themes or apps or Roms onto your SD Card and then installing them using clockwork or any other utility where the phones Operating System is modified

thanks a lot for the guide. i was confused about one thing. you say, "To get your Hboot Version, make sure fastboot is disabled". where exactly do we make sure that fastboot is disabled? is that a setting in android? i thought it had to do with recovery... thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
its when your turn off your phone and turn it back on, its comes on within seconds,

i have fastboot enabled but the easiest way possible mate is just take out the battery and put it back in, that way you will know definitely its off, not on hibernated

Another glitch I am seeing is that I cannot restart my phone any way but taking the battery out. Thats kind of a bother.

2-Adfree doesnt work

3-Cant restart phone normally

PULL THE BATTERY OUT.

PUT IT BACK IN

HOLD VOLUME BUTTON DOWN and press the power button.

from hboot menu select REcovery

could you also list what you did here so that other users can restore stock via recovery

Thanks so much for the guide!! It is truly helpful. I have one question before starting to flash roms. What roms are compatible with the T Mobile sensation?

[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
Ok got back to my stock rom and WiFi working again but I don't have root.

OP, you should add to BACKUP USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT! I made sure to backup my rom and data before I attempted root. So when I found WiFi not working after doing root, I just went and restored my stuff from CWM.

I will wait till there are more people confirming T-Mobile USA Sensation works on the stock rom with root and WiFi.

it took a couple of times for me , i just follow all the steps on the op rebooted the phone a coupe of times and it worked deleted htc sync from the phobe closed htc sync from the pc , keep it on sync not charge only , make sure debbugin is on and you sould b good to go.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Try reinstalling it via clockwork and also once you have then reboot once, worked for another user.

also try other root apps to see if they are working

Download titanium backup, does it start the program or does it tel you its not rooted
[HTC Sensation] :
....................
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
could be drivers, make sure you have the correct drivers for XP.

also try downloading a copy of linux, dualboot it or run it in a virtual pc aplication/program and then install it that way?
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
Just to add to the list, I had to use the unsecured boot image to get root and my wifi is borked as well. I do have a nandroid backup but get all kinds of UID errors upon restore. Going to sit tight with the broken wifi for now.

FYI, I tried pushing the bcm4329.ko module (http://www.mediafire.com/?ngz50gnrzjt) like we've had to do for broken wifi in the past but it didn't fix the problem.

Did you place the full zipped file on your sd card and not the extracted file from the zip? The file must be named PG58IMG.zip as this is the naming convention that the bootloader looks for.

questions:

1: i forgot to write down any system info besides hboot. im sure it didnt change anything under settings>about, but did it?

[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
btw at my first attempt to get rev.exe running, i (on win7 ult. 64bit) turned off Kaspersky Pure until NEXT RESTART, then just exited out of HTC SYNC from the task bar. rev started right up. before that it would close instantly i could not read any text. then i turned off kaspersky and it still did that, then i closed htc sync. worked fine after that no problem.

oh yea for some reason saying fastboot rebooting or restarting (i forgot what it says exactly) i had to keep pressing up arrow (random key) because it hanged in the reboot message. then it said again, once more, till it did it. dunno why buy pressing a random key (except y/n because after that it asks for a y/n question) kept it from hanging on those messages. just putting it out there.
