trojan???? lol :cool:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] rajarshi10:
Is this real or fake ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Setialpha:
Just googled it and it's also been on badaspain and badatürkiye, though both have either removed the thread or left a message about a misstake they've done. So I guess it's either renamed XPKG6 or something bad.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] gabiju:
Hi everybody

it's fake=s8500Xpkg5....

[Bada Software and Hacking General] MiAmRA:
I've tested both firmwares for Wave I and Wave II. Featurewise there are no new things. Its just more stable than the previous versions. I noticed that there are some new sound effects.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
There is Google maps on S8530 firmware?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] MiAmRA:
No, there is just a basic Wac Google app and inside you will find a shortcut to some Google services like Maps.

Live walpaper

when we can see live wallpaper ? any chances that we can see in beta version or have to wait for final ofical one ? and when offical one bada 2 is coming ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Setialpha:
I don't see the point in live-wallpapers you only see them, while looking at your phone and doing nothing (or looking at widgets) and still it drains out your battery.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] gilkzxc:
guys this could be fake but there is a real S8500XPKG7 on SAMFIRMWARE and there is a S8530XPKH1 also on SamFIRMWARE so be aware and check there and not here

whats the difference between this rom and bandroidx?
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
This is not a rom yet... bandroidx is an update zip that changes the rom... it is not a flashable rom.. this one will be a flashable rom using recovery so I don't have to sbf when I want to go back when trying cm7 out.. and its good to have for pulling files from if needed for porting..

Quick answer is it won't be much different. Maybe a little faster and will come rooted. And have recovery already installed.
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
download link is in first post
[Bravo Android Development] slowcurve:
woah you got rid of blur? really?
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
A lot of it but not all of it yet
[Bravo Android Development] kyngnothing:
Just checking, but this would be themeable, correct?:confused:
[Bravo Android Development] jimbothigpen:
Quadrant

Hi rdannar -- I'm really hoping that with you working on the Bravo my wife will stop complaining about her phone. Wondering about that quadrant score over 2k, though... Is that legit, or is it using the same I/O slight of hand that some ROM devs were using on the Sony X10?

Thanks for your work on this!

-jimbothigpen
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
No. Alot of the score is from changing GUI in build prop. Overcloxking. And using SD card app to change read access to 3072
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
No it's not legit or no it's not slight of hand? ;-)
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
Its legit. I didn't use the quadrant score tricks that you can do.

You can do the same thing to your phone by using root explorer or TB to uninstall apps then just replace with my build.prop. (actually recommend this over flashing). Then you can keep and get rid of what you want...
[Bravo Android Development] snnyby:
no video in video player / rock player

hello,

Is it just me or none of the videos I have recorded with stock firmware play in this rom. I only have audio. Screen is blank. Tried both Rockplayer and the stock player.

Thanks!
[Bravo Android Development] basil.elsh:
Hey I just installed this rom and it is sweet my phone is running way faster now!! Keep up the good work and hopefully we will get a camera fix for miui and cyanogen soon, and thanks for all the development
[Bravo Android Development] kyngnothing:
I hadn't tried, but I can't play videos either:confused:
[Bravo Android Development] basil.elsh:
Hmm you guys are right my video won't work either also anyone notice that their home button isn't working? ?
[Bravo Android Development] no_password:
i have flash the bravoX-rc2.zip and the rdannarV1.zip，both camera and video is just a black screen. It can picture or record，but i can't see anything on the screen.
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
Ill take a look at it when I can.. working all weekend. We both mist have took out a file that camera needs.... they are similar rom's. His is deodexed... mine isn't. I think odex is faster in stock roms, but that is just opinion.

Cheers
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
I remember the camera working fine in BravoX. He never took any files out that the camera required. Have you tried to sbf your phone and make sure it works in stock after that?
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
I had that problem with bandroid when I tried it... on mine also since it was pointed out
[Bravo Android Development] slowcurve:
i really wanna try this out since most of the motoblur is gone. but will i lose my camera?
[Bravo Android Development] marquae11:
The recovery causes it. Uninstall defy 2nd init. Promise it will help fix camera problems
[Bravo Android Development] slowcurve:
thanks for the tip
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
It was a missing file here is the new version with upgraded icons and the camera fix. Use the newest secondinit from the market

[Bravo Android Development] kyngnothing:
Thanks! I like the new one! Touch Calendar started working again!
[Bravo Android Development] kyngnothing:
But when I try to go to "Settings" "Accounts" it force closes... any idea?:confused:
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
It is because accounts is a motor blur thing so I took it out
[Bravo Android Development] kyngnothing:
:o

Oh, that makes sense. It's a great ROM!
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
So it seems like quite a few people have gotten insurance replacements or refurbs since the OTA; enough to be keeping the prospect of a new root method tantalizing. I was curious if any of you had some interesting stories about what led up to getting your phone replaced.

In my case, I was heading out to my car after work late last week and, uncharacteristically for me, slipped my phone into my pocket when I got there rather than putting it in its holster. I guess when I was getting into the driver's seat it slipped out and fell on the ground. All I was thinking about was getting the A/C on and didn't notice.

As I was backing out of my spot my car hit a bump. Earlier in the week I'd gotten a flat tire and all I could think was that I'd damaged another one. I got out and saw an EVO smashed on the ground. "Wow, that looks a lot like my phone..." I thought as it dawned on me that my phone wasn't where it was supposed to be.

I was genuinely surprised at how well it had held up to being run over. The screen was shattered, certainly, but the body was in decent shape. It still turned on, but I can only guess at whether it still booted up internally or not. The microSD card was undamaged, thank God, because it had tons of pictures and stuff and, of course, all my nandroid backups in case we get root again.

So that's my story. Any others?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Mine is boring. Screen separation issue. Waiting for my replacement. EVO replacements are backordered.
[EVO 4G General] xsisbest:
Mine as well was screen separation.. Then the replacement I got had the same issue.. I fell in the back order category.. Finally got another one only to have constant reboots when taking pictures and gps telling me my phone has no signal yet it does with full bars.. . I'm not happy one bit with this evo.. So much to the point I'm about to call tech support to see what my options are for replacing it with a different model. I'm so bored with this evo now that I have no root..
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Make sure to delete WiMax.img from all of your backup folders so that you don't restore your old WiMax key over your new one. Two phones with the same key will prevent each other from using 4G.

---

I have a 3D now, but my story was this. Got my 0003 Evo 4G back in August when I came to Sprint, in December Wifi was acting up. I paid $35 for a refurb replacement (Warranty). Second one was an 0004 with a Novatec panel with screen bleeding and light bleeding, and the volume rocker was so stiff it was unusable. I'd heard a ton of horror stories of people never getting fully-working Evos through insurance/warranty-replacement, including on Consumerist.com. So I emailed dan@sprint.com with my issue and got a call back from the Office of Dan Hesse. For about a month, we were going back and forth as I asked for a brand new Evo. The reasoning was because a customer rep on Online Chat promised me one and I saved and printed the chat PDF, along with the Chat ID. They kept saying the rep made a mistake, but after telling them that they have a problem with quality control and pointing them to several threads on XDA and articles on other sites, they caved in a sent me a brand new White 0004 Evo.

I asked for a white one because originally, the white Evos were available only at Best Buy. They were 0002s (launch models). Only around December/January was the white model available at Sprint stores. So I [correctly] deduced that they would be 0004s with all the kinks ironed out. That's the abridged version of my story lol.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Thanks for pointing that out; I hadn't even considered the WiMax keys!
[EVO 4G General] nyne7lac:
Well it's not really how it happened but how I got my EVO replaced for free. I had a broken charging port for about 2 months. I finally had to $100 deductible so I go into the Sprint store at Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines, IA. It was about 15 minutes til closing and the 2 young ladies behind the counter didn't even try to help me. I left underwhelmed and disappointed. The next day I went to the store in Ames, IA and it just so happens the district manager was there. I told him about the story the day before and he immediately ordered me a new phone free of charge for my troubles.

Needless to say I was sooooooooo happy
[EVO 4G General] Joey SR:
Took my phone to sprint store to have it tested because i was having signal error codes. Got the phone back scuffed at the bottom and screen lifting. Complained and given a refurb, only to go back because the whole bottom was lifting, dirt in the camera, and plastic sticking out by the charge port.

Sent from my hTc Evo!
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
You guys have me scared of they replacement Sprint is going to send me.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
Most of the refurbs are ok, but sometimes (more often lately) some junk slips through. If it happens, just go back and get another one.

Or complain to Care, whichever you think would help you better.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I will be sure to report back when I get the replacement.
[EVO 4G General] Nannuq:
The only draw back to mine is its already updated, of course. Other than that it appears to be a brand spanking new Evo with 0 issues. My original one had dust under the screen up by the audio port. I just ignored it and didn't whine about it since I am in construction and figure this one will get the same dust under it eventually. So no root for me for awhile is the only issue, but at least I have my upgrade in October and I'll just sell my evo and get a new Epic touch 4g so rooting isn't really an issue. The funny thing is if they refurb my old one they better change the Carrier logo back to Sprint because my old one says Eric's Evo in the notifications menu and unrooting and flashing the stock Ruu back on it didn't even fix that.
[EVO 4G General] smallba:
Well with me I, for reason, left mine(release date EVo) attached to me in the holster and went out riding on my banshee. After running the track for a while, I over shot a jump and broke my collar bone as well as smashing my First EVo.

I luckly got a Froyo replacement EVo, which ran like crap but I didn't care since I was able to root, but when I was in NC it fell out my lap and the glass cracked, but still functioned. Soon after I started getting miss touches, figured it wa s the digitizer do I had the glass replaced.

Soon after that I wasn't able to drag the notification bar down, guess the digitizer went again, so I ended up with a free replacement due to hardware, and now I'm stuck in this brands new gingerbread shipped EVo

To be	continued
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I am going to laugh when my replacement comes and says Eric's EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Goth_:
First Android phone I got was the moment. Had sooo many problems with it while I was in ait and had to get it fixed three times in a two week period. Anyways, after ait went home for 10 days, and one day it had an update, so I hit ok, hopped in the shower, when I came back the phone was off.

Turned it back on and just a white screen came up. I was like Wtf is this? Took it to a Sprint store, where the lady basically told me I was sol. I asked her seeing as I had just gotten this phone 5 weeks ago, if I could just pay the difference for a different phone. After giving me the run around she asked her manager, who said it was ok, and so I played $100 for the EVO I have now. :)
[EVO 4G General] subprime:
About 3 weeks ago I dropped my phone on the concrete. It was only about 2 ft but it landed flat on the face and that was it for the glass. I wanted to keep root so decided I would try to replace the screen myself. The repair went ok except I got some dust under the screen and it was slightly lifted in some areas. Everything worked fine though. Then this past Friday I dropped it again and it landed flat on the face again. i don't think it would survive me trying to replace the screen again and I would have just continued using it as is except there were a few chunks of glass missing.

I decided to file the insurance claim and my plan was to just take the logic board out of my old phone and put it in the new one. Choose Saturday delivery and received a brand new, in the box phone. It was an 004 so I thought I would be fine, but after opening it up, the ribbon cable for the screen and whatever you call the thing it attaches to on the logic board were different. So now I am stuck like so many others, with no root, waiting and hoping for someone to finally get this thing s-off. The only upside is I now have a spare battery, spare charger and another sd card.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Ok my replacement device is out for delivery. Lets se what I can an to these stories!
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
As far as replacements go... If I go into a store with a screen issue, will they attempt to fix it in-store before sending it out? Or if I tell them I don't want a replacement will they honor it?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
If it is something they can fix in store they will. As long as they have the parts. Otherwise they wwill order the replacement.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Well my replacement came, and is going right back. The replacement had even worse screen separation issue than the device I am trying to get replaced. We will see how the next one is :/ So frustrating.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Here is a pic. I guess they missed this somehow?!?!?!?!
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
That's crazy. Hope you get some resolution. The EVO replacement I got from Asurion was like new.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
This EVO was pristine. Except for the screen half glued on lol. So I got the email for the second replacement and its backordered again!
[EVO 4G General] timdawgdentist:
It took me 4.5 hours on the phone.. but after recieving a bad refurb I demanded a new phone. The screen creeked when you touched it. But I got a new phone for the gf. Only thing that suck is of course it was s-on. Now I gotta wait for this new root. effing htc and sprint

tim
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I have found its all luck in the person you get on the other end. I spent 2 hours in the beginning just getting a tech support who knew of the screen separation issue. I had one tech support manager on duty tell me sprint does not fix or replace phones with the screen separation issue and that I would have to contact htc. Then I finally get a tech support person who knows of the issue and offers to send me a replacement right away. It just sucks that I get the run around and get a bad refurb but the kids who cry that they can't root their phones get a nexus s.
[EVO 4G General] grants04:
I walked into a Houston store with USB charging port issues. They checked it out for about 15 minutes, verified that the charging port was not working, and handed me a brand new in box Evo. Only bad part is that it is 004, 4.24. Can't wait for S-Off!
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Wow I wish it could be that easy. Both times I have been to my local repair store the wait has been 45min to an hour just to speak with someone.
[EVO 4G General] bees2001:
I got lucky, my charging port went out and i was rooted running synergy, but since the port went out I was unable to get the files over to unroot, and the battery was dying. Took it in, they said it was the port (like I guessed) noticed the synergy boot animation, a group gathered around to look at it. The manager came over and said that he wasn't supposed to repair rooted devices, but since it was something that obviously wasn't related to rooting he'd cut me a break and since it was back ordered, exchanged me out in the store. Unfortunately I'm on stock 2.3 now and can't root like everyone else. Luckily I had a good experience with this store, I've read other horror stories of people in the same situation.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
So I got my second replacement and the microphone doesn't work. Off to the Sprint store in the morning. I'm fed up!
[EVO 4G General] meeklo062704:
I've been blessed with a good evo since launch day. That is until my dumb ass tried putting on an invisible shield and got water under the screen because of the screen separation/light leak. Although Sprint was pretty cool about it and offered to cover half of the deductible since it was due partly because of hardware failure as well as user error. Asurion has always been really good to me. One thing you can do if they say they're sending a refurb and you want a new one, or vice versa, is to put a hold on the claim and call back later. You have 30 days to complete a claim from the first call. Or if you catch a cool sympathetic operator, they can put a note on your account that you are to receive a new handset when it comes in. The tep has always been worth it to me. I managed to get from a treo 755p all the way to a tp2 all through insurance never using my 2 year rebate. I finally decided it was getting ridiculous when I broke down and upgraded to the evo and just bought it. I even had one asurion employee advise me not to use one of my claims because Sprint would do it in store, and said to cal her back directly if they gave me any problems going from a mogul to a tp1. Gotta live asurion.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
So i got a 3rd replacement, again with the screen separation issue. So customer service offered me a brand new, although white evo. Hopefully my problems are gone!
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
The white one is better. First of all, it's glossy instead of matte and doesn't show fingerprints or smudges. Second of all, white Evos were only offered through Sprint (as opposed to Best Buy) starting from late 0003s and 0004s, so they have less issues. I too went through 3 defective Evos, but you seem to have had it easier. I had to go through The Office of Dan Hesse for over a month to get them to give me a brand new one.
[EVO 4G General] madigan82:
Claim #1 - Bought from BestBuy with the Black Tie protection first day it was on sale. After about 7 months, the USB port started to fail and wouldn't charge. Also had a light spot on the screen. Took about 4 weeks to repair and they didn't fix the light spot.

Claim #2 - Same evo but after about 2 months, the metal casing of the USB port actually disconnected. Wouldn't charge. Sent off for repair. About 3 weeks later they ended up giving me a new white one from the store stock.

Claim #3 - The plastic around the sides chipped a lot. Was laying in bed and grabbed the phone when it slipped and fell about 2 feet. Worked for another 30 seconds until the screen just faded. Could see the lcd under the glass was damaged. Was sent off but BB changed their practice and now just replaced all of the Evo's with refurbs. Received my 2.3.3 refurb after 3 days. Waiting on root.

Claim #4 - A few months after the Galaxy S II is released and evo refurbs are out of stock, my phone will have a bad trip off a tall building...
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
I liked the last one lol... I'm thinking about the same thing....
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Well I wouldn't say I had it easier. I spent a total of 9 hours on the phone and another 3 hours at 3 different stores. It's pretty bad when tech support forces me to go to a store to get my 3rd replacement and the one the store gives me has the same problem. They offered me an epic which I laughed at.

Also white evos were sold only by best buy for the first 5 months.
