Yeah, I'm waiting for the HC. I mean, I want to get the SG, but the exclusion of a kickstand makes me sad.
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
Yeah, I agree; I used to use mine the same exact way..

hard to believe they don't have the HC available yet..
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Not that hard to believe, it was like what, six months, until they brought it out for the EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Ballistic is losing out on a LOT of sales due to them always being so late in the game. If their HC case was available on the 3D's launch date, then I would have gotten it over the Defender. I know a lot of people who would have bought the HC instead of the Defender, but since the HC wasnt out then you only had one choice. Ballistic should have realized this with the Evo 4G when they were (as stated above) about 6 months late to release it. Testing and quality control is great and all, but when I only keep a phone for 1 year at the most, I'm not going to buy a case to use for only 4-6 months. I know many others feel the same as me in this aspect.... Oh well, Ballistic's loss and Otterbox's gain..
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I've been thinking of getting a case with a little better drop protection than my knock-off case mate barely there case. So I've been considering the following:

Case-mate tough case, which people seem to like.

Otterbox Commuter - but has a fit problem, would have to wait for revisions to be out. A bit smaller than the Tough case.

Seidio active case - looks nice, but people have concerns about the plastic corners breaking.

The ballistic SG looks nice! Granted no one has it yet, but based on your experience with other phones, does anyone know how much bulk it adds to the phone vs these other cases? Obviously, the corners bulge. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Ballistic cases are usually a bit then other brands. BUT so far every manufacturer has slimmed down their cases for the 3D, so maybe Ballistic will follow suit....
[HTC EVO 3D] hondarider525:
I had the SG on my OG evo and have it on the 3d. It feels wonderful, and fits really well. Protects my phone perfectly fine on regular drops and I never feel like I have to worry.
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
I'm waiting for the HC for my 3D, I had one for my OG EVO. Best case eva.
[HTC EVO 3D] abdeviation:
any idea when the black/red will be released? And if people have experience with these cases before, how does the black/red usually look compared to the black/black. Is this finish nice or does it look stupid?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
The black/red HC on my Evo 4G looked, felt, and held up awesome! May get one for my 3D also, depends on how my Defender is holding up when ever the HC is released...
[HTC EVO 3D] graham722:
I had signed up to be notified when the HC was available - and when I got the email about the SG, I ordered it without even realizing it wasn't the one I really wanted. So now I have an unopened SG case to return, but ballistic hasn't returned 3 requests for an RMA#. No response whatsoever. That's piss poor customer service. I finally just called them and got a very pleasant lady who just pulled up her email, searched by name, and said, "ok, yes, here is your email from Friday" (the 2nd email, 4 days ago. The first one was more than a week ago).

I'm huge on customer service. I'm going to return it and get the otterbox case. FYI - for those interested, she tells me the HC case will be available at the end of September.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
End of september! Man EFF that. I was a fan of ballistic and dealt with my damn seidio rugged until the HC was available for the old evo. Ive had the otterbix since day one since the HC wasnt available. The otterbox feels and looks awesome. Otterbox took the time to make sure we had protection day one. Otterbox keeps my buisness
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I loved the HC(red/black) on my Evo 4G. BUT, I now have a Otterbox Defender and will be in keeping it. No way I'm buying a $50 case at the end of September, may not have the phone more than 3 months after that. Otterbox well replace any of their cases without a problem AND have cases ready for us on launch day. Otterbox keeps me as a life long customer also. I dealt with Ballistic customer service once and they did not help at all. That and the fact they take way way too long to make cases available to us, it's just bad business and they will go under eventually unless the make some big changes/ improvements..... It's unfortunate.

Many people upgrade phones every 6 months. Not many will buy a case that they will only use for half of their time owning the phone. Plus Ballistic is giving their competition a 3 month head-start. Didn't they learn with the Evo 4G!?
[HTC EVO 3D] osrix:
A little bit off topic, but how is the defender? I'm put off by the screen protector just ending by the ear piece, as i think dirt and dust will get between the SP and the screen.

I have a defender for my HD2 and its done well for what ive put it through! but it seems to have a better solution for the above.

whats your opinion?

Also i asked ballistic if they would ship to the UK....They wanted $79.95 just for shipping + $49.99 for the case - (when they eventually make release one!) Thats_<counts on fingers>_ a $130 case + Import duty!!! :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] stc1:
"A little bit off topic, but how is the defender? I'm put off by the screen protector just ending by the ear piece, as i think dirt and dust will get between the SP and the screen."

I felt that way when I first got the defender but now after several months of use I think the gap does not make the phone vulnerable and I work around a lot of dust.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I love the Defender. It feels great in hand, and you don't even know the built in screen protector is there. Also, you don't get the "water effect" when using a Otterbox screen protector. The water effect uys one thing I hated about my Ballistic HC on my Evo 4G when also using a screen protector. The gap at the top worried me a bit in the beginning, but I have had no issues with dust or debri getting in there. Not sure why they designed it that way, but it isn't an issue. I take it on/off atleast once a day during the week. Either to swap batteries or just remove it when I get gone from work. The silicone has stretched slightly, but not enough to be an issue or concern as it still fits nice and snug. A nice assurance is Otterbox's amazing costumer service. I know if it ever stretches enough to be problem, then Otterbox will just send me a new complete case at no charge. Their customer service is the main reason i buy their products over other companies. I know with the Ballistic HC on my Evo 4G I was SOL when I called Ballistic. They acted ad is they didn't even care. Otterbox has won me over as a life-long customer!!

I also have the Commuter and the Impact and would recommend all 3 of them without hesitation
[HTC EVO 3D] Juan12345:
I have a Ballistic SG case coming in the mail. It is the best mid-weight design on the market IMHO. As long as you drop your phone on a flat surface the corners are most likely to take the impact, and that's where most of the cushioning on this case exists.
[HTC Sensation] thepeter1:
ok so i am S off and installed my first ROM last night.:D "InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 STABLE 2.1" I love it. the only thing is how do I get the quick settings menu that is in the screen shots, is that a MOD or did i do something wrong? I did try a search but came up with nothing.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
The quick settings menu is in the notification bar. If you are talking about the one in the 2nd post, it's a flashable zip

[HTC Sensation] thepeter1:
i installed Ginger Thyparancy - Edition V1.0 but still no joy. if i am reading it right everything else is for earlyer versions of the ROM
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
When you pull down the notification shade, what does it look like? Do you see any tabs at the bottom/recent apps at the top? Some ROMs have you install flashable zips (from recovery) to add/remove extra features/applications.
[HTC Sensation] thepeter1:
the notification shade has the notification tab and quick settings. the quick settings are the same as they were before i installed the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
Check out the second post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16247528&postcount=2

You have to download and install "Add Extended Quick Settings...". They have six different versions listed so you'll have to pick one you prefer. I assume these would be flashed in recovery, but as always do a nandroid backup if you have anything to lose.
[HTC Sensation] thepeter1:
Awesome thank you it worked! i guess that i should have looked for a Ginger Thyparancy thread...:o

No problem. Happy flashing!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mversion:
It seems CF-Root v4.1 is the bees-knees when it comes to rooting the Galaxy S II, but unfortunately it is not ROM Manager compatible.

Is there an up to date method to root the SGSII that works with Rom Manager? I found this link: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/ but I suspect there may be a newer method.

Here are my phone details, just in case:

Android version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: I9100XXKE7

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mversion:
bump......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Why don't you just install ROM Manager, then download latest clockwork recovery using ROM Manager?

It will then be ROM Manager compatible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mversion:
Because I need to attain root before I can flash clockworkmod. ROM Manager says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
I'm on the original galaxy and the easiest way I've found to root is to use odin or hemindall to flash a kernel with cwm. It roots and gives cwm in one action. Also theres a new super one click that I've had success with on many different brands of phones, hts, lg, moto
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
What I meant is, why don't you just flash CF-Kernel, then install ROM manager, then use that to install clockwork recovery.

There is a confusion that rom manager is not compatible with the kernel. That part is not true, rom manager is not compatible with the clockwork recovery that is supplied by the kernel, you just use the clockwork recovery that can be installed with rom manager. The cwm app is not compatible with the recovery installed by rom manager.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Flash codeworkx kernel, root it, and run rom manager to your hearts content.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
I'm having this issue too.

I've spent most of the day trying different things.

Regardless of how I root, and what rom and kernel provides the base when I try and update cwm through rom manager then try and reboot into recovery through rom manager I get the failed to verify error.

I've rooted with the chainfire root, with codeworx kernal and then superone click, and it's made no difference.

I've also tried it from rooted stock firmwares, and custom roms.

Still cannot boot into recovery from rom manager.

I've also noticed that despite rom manager saying that I'm using the latest version, when I manually boot into cwm it shows the previous version.

edit: I even went back to stock and rooted using link in first post, then installed rom manager but same error.

Keeps going to 3e system recovery

God it's annoying
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Further googling has led me to believe the issue is rom managers not being compatible with 3e recovery.

Apparently we need to have 2e recovery.

Any way to get that?

edit: Or can we disable signature verification in cwm?

re-edit: Well I found this in the cf root thread which will explain why I will never get rom manager to work

CF-Root includes a custom version of CWM4. I always make custom versions, as the originals often do not take some Samsung specific things into account.

CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root

Where is the standard version then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Codeworx said himself that his kernel won't work with rom manager.

If anyone is able to install roms through rom manager I'd like to know what rom, kernal, and how they rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Haven't read that thread but i thought that was the whole point of his kernel, oh well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Well I finally found a fix.

This time I can boot into recovery from rom manager.

No more failed to verify errors ;)

What you need is this version of clockwork recovery

http://www.multiupload.com/UUX5P7QTU0

Flash it with odin, then use superoneclick version 1.95.

Hey guys,

Between all the flashing that I've been doing, I seem to have replaced the original 'M' boot logo with the one that has the little kid pissing on the 'M', lol. I think the logo's nice, but I definitely prefer the stock one. Anyone know how I can revert back to that? So after some googling, I've been trying to use RSDLite to flash the Red Motorola logo sbf, check the link...

http://www.peteralfonso.com/2011/07/download-updated-motorola-boot-logo-for.html

I've been trying over and over and the flash keeps failing, does it have anything to do with the fact that the sbf is meant for the Droid X? If I can't flash the red logo, then can anyone help me get the original logo back?

Any help appreciated guys, thanks!

Hi,

I'm new to this area and therefore I have a question.

Today I opened the bootloader of my HTC sensation and Rooted.

Then I noticed that an Android update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 is available.

Can I just install this update? If after updating anything be different?

I do not want a Custom ROM.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
Wanted to aks the same question, maybe a little bit more specific: Will the update make the Revolution-Hack impossible?
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
From what I read some peoples locked. What i suggest is that you flash cwm then a custom ROM that's 2.3.4 and problem solved.

I would recommend insert coin.

Edit: missed the don't want a custom ROM part. Well I still suggest it. I mean you already voided your warranty so what do u have to lose?
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
Just install a custom ROM. You're already rooted. I don't understand the complete lack of logic people have. "I completely unlocked my device, and now I'm going to stay with the bare minimum ****ty stock ROM!"
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Whoa, speak for yourself dudes! Stock ROM is better than any others, in MY opinion as well as many others. Just because you dont like the stock ROM (or a custom), doesnt make it worthless. My phone is likely just as fast as your ROM phone. So how bout you lighten up? My choice to stay with stock ROM is quite logical. I am happy with the ROOT apps that I am running, along with ADW EX, so I dont need any custom ROM.

Also, what does he have to lose? How about turning a shiny sensation into a brick if something goes wrong?

How has he voided his warranty? Getting back to S-On is doable now. So yea, pushing ROMs isnt very diplomatic of you, especially if he doesnt want one.

Also, I think that revolution may be updated now for the 2.3.4 people. Youll need to look into that if you want to be perm rooted with 2.3.4

[HTC Sensation] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Theres no way your stock rom is faster than insert coin or any other rom for that matter. Whats really the point of rooting if your not going to flash a rom eventually. I can understand for a little while keeping stock rom. Like i kept mine stock until there was an update. But after that you really dont have much choice unless you want to take the chance of breaking root or htc locking you out of bootloader again. Your choice. But the most logical thing you could do is find a good custom rom that has the upgrade you want. But dont sit there and say your stock rom is better or even close to better than roms these devs work day and night to make. Cause we all know thats garbage. Also its not flashing roms that brick your phone. Its getting s-off and flashing radios or new bootloaders. Youve already took the chance of bricking your phone. Your at the easy part now!!!! Flash a damn rom!!!!:) Do a nandroid backup so if you dont like it you can go back to your beloved stock rom.

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Hahah, you are kidding me right? So, how is yours faster? How is mine faster? What the hell do you even mean by FASTER? Faster at what?

And WHOA...Just because a dev worked day and night on something, doesnt make it better. That mentality needs to come to a complete stop, cuz in the real world, no one gives a crap about your team spirit. Show them WHY its better. WHAT it does better. You sound like a teenager.

All a ROM is, is a customization of one's phone. So I customized mine, ON MY OWN? That doesnt discount what I have done, nor make it any better or any worse than yours.

Whats the point in rooting? How about being able to run TB or Root Explorer, or Adfree? Shall I go on? Do you really expect to change my, or anyone's, mind based on your reasons? And lets not forget you calling my feelings garbage.

Which do you want to be today, the pot or the kettle?

All those that pushed a ROM, FAILED the OP. He SPECIFICALLY asked NOT for a custom ROM. Go away if you cannot help him with his request, because there are others here that can.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
Heated much?

Insertcoin is faster than stock and if u say it isn't u obviously haven't tried it. And u can't brick ur phone without being completely stupid. Xda has great support with instructions to help.

There was a chance of you bricking ur phone with revolutionary so i don't understand that why you would be worried about bricking with cwm.

I acknowledged that he didn't want a custom ROM but i did suggest it. It would save him some trouble in the future.

There are also stock roms that have just been optimized and what not.

And I'm talking in terms of UI fluidity. And how fast the phone responds to your actions. Stock ROM can't touch a custom ROM.

[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
i agree with the OP.

Currently I am happy with the stock rom, it does all I need, I like the fact that I CAN DECIDE when/if I change to a custom rom.

I am using the Sensation with the OTA update to 2.3.4 and I got my root and S-OFF thanks to the wonderful people at revolution

I just wanted s-off and root in order to use Titanium backup :P
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Bingo!

It is everyone else pushing ROMs that are the ones being rude! Not us! Just because we dont want to flash one of your ROMs doesnt make us rude, or illogical. So stop that crap!

Its no different than the SGS2 people coming on here telling us their samsung is better. If we want a ROM, we know where to go. Deal?

Arguing over which ROM is best, is beating a dead horse. The OP didnt ask anything about a custom ROM, yet he had it shoved down his throat. You guys treat it like its your Religion or something. Sheesh!

To the OP-Doesnt it feel nice now, to know you can choose what apps run in your phone? I was so excited the first time I watched those bloat apps STOP!
