sucks that I dont have a credit card:/

I just bought this one and bf3 and transformers great job
[HTC EVO 3D] jkrough0728:
Thank you for your support! It means alot to us! If you like the game ones make sure to check out our new release Gears of War Skin!
[HTC EVO 3D] zander145:
Great skin! Just downloaded it!

A few comments though, the battery numbers and everything up there is white, so if I open up something like... Dolphin web browsers HD, I cannot see the numbers... at all..

And the "custom lockscreen" you need to have it set to wallpaper mode... So its not really custom, just letting the MW3 Wallpaper be seen at lock screen, although the lockring is custom.
[HTC EVO 3D] illinois08:
Thanks man! I didn't really mean to put custom lockscreen. I really just meant the custom ring... Yeah having a transparent top bar was a request we got so we figured we would go ahead and try it. I like it personally. We probably won't put it in another skin we make, it was just a test. Thanks for the feedback though!! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] zander145:
I like it too, just had a small "wtf" moment when I was using dolphin.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcresu8i:
Is the gears of war up and running yet?

O yeah I almost forgot I got one request if you can do a batman on the new game that is coming out that would be AWESOME
[HTC EVO 3D] jkrough0728:
Nope Gears is still down for the moment.

We have tried multiple attempts at getting it working but to be honest it isn't making.sense to why it won't work. We did nothing different to that one but it will not download to skin directory from Market.

We have a new idea to get it up again though and hopefully today or tomorrow we can get it up.

Sorry for the delay guys.

[HTC EVO 3D] jkrough0728:
I got Gears working again! Enjoy!!
[HTC EVO 3D] illinois08:
Batman is in the works. We are working on something very special for this skin, so once we get it figured out, we will post it ASAP. Thanks again to everyone who has downloaded our skins! We spent alot of time on these perfecting all we can. Our future releases will be off the chain!!!

Hi i am wanting to install infused. But i need to know if I use titanium backup and back up missing apps before installing the rom does that mean that all of my apps will be put on the new rom? And what about my settings such as apn numbers and message center? I appreciate the help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Yes you can I am doing that now with Infused 2.1.0. Just make sire that when you restore you DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA. Only restore missing apparently/data in TiBu.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] emeralds5668:
Thank You!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Garen21:
Why can't we restore system data with it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bzmotoninja83:
Because it will proceed to overwrite data that's supposed to be there. It just wont work. Never restore system data across different roms
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marty331:
Only restore MISSING APPS AND DATA.

Powered by Infused v2.1.0
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Garen21:
What if I'm going from 1.6 to 2.1? or just reinstalling 2.1?

And I did restore system data when i went from stock to 1.5, and nothing went wrong.

I was on 2.1, but i wanted to try serendipity, and i didnt like so I'm back on infused, and I backed up everything while i was still on 2.1. So technically the back up was on 2.1, so it should work, right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
System apps don't like having their data overwritten for some reason, even if the backup was made from the same version.

In theory TiBu paid has a "system settings migration" feature that should allow you to restore system apps safely in many cases.

HOWEVER:

You use that feature at your own risk and peril. If you use it, do NOT post bug reports for a ROM until you have wiped and restored ONLY missing apps/data.

Is it still a good phone? I have a nexus s and the only thing stoping me from switching to the evo is the fact that the evo might not get icecream sanwich..will the evo get it thru dev?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
I'm sure it will.

The Nexus S battery life definitely beats the Evo, by far.

The Nexus S isn't a bigger enough step from the Evo, that's why I didn't waste the upgrade.

But I wouldn't "downgrade" to an Evo from the Nexus S any day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcaicedo82:
Downgrade? Idk about that the evo feels more solid and with a custom rom is just as fast. Thank for ur response
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deputydroid:
The Evo is still a solid Smart Phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
We wont know if it will be able to run ice cream sandwich until it is released, but the evos dev scene is one of the best. I think if the nexus s can run it so will the evo. The devs have done some amazing things for the evo.

Just look at it this way. The motorola photon is a great phone. A little bit better than the evo3d (debateable) but the photon dev scene isnt too good for now. The 3d scene is pretty good. So you really never know.

It doesnt matter if a certain phone is better. The devs flock to a phone and we must follow...or be stuck with crap :)

In my point of view the evo will keep getting support from devs until it really cant run the software. Being probably the most popular droid phone i think the evo will get the best support until its obsolete.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcaicedo82:
Thanks for the comments...the Evo is a great device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
i used custom roms and it still wasnt nearly as fast as the 3d

plus the extra ram and storage space i could never turn back

evo 4g is a good phone, but of course technology moves so fast,that TECH-wise, its just not that great of a phone anymore

but the simple fact it has 4.3inch screen and runs android would make me choose it over an iphone anyday
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
i would definitely say its still a strong competitor and as far as development goes i don't think its going anywhere very soon. i mean think about it the htc hero cdma is still getting developed for. so im thinking ics will definitely get ported sooner or later.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamicpda:
I'm a heavy user running a lot social networking apps, navigating, etc at the same time. The Evo 4G is feeling OLD. I've had since last December and I am so ready to trade up to a dual core device with loads more memory.

If your mobile computing needs are modest, then maybe the Evo 4G is still solid. For me, the Evo 4G is feeling dated and ready to be retired.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkboy0901:
I do think the evo is still in great standing my dad got the photon and to be serious my phone can still compete (dont know how to spell this word haha) with his photon the only big things are memory batt life and screen. a little speed but not much. I will not upgrade until i see a phone like when the evo first came out it destroyed all other smartphones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcaicedo82:
I think the evo 3 is gonna kill every phone out there....if it comes out lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cmorris8848:
I think the next actual release of Evo, like the 4G and 3D were released in the summer, will destroy the smartphone market. With a possibility of quad-core coming form NVIDIA to phones by then. I think it is a major possibility that Evo will have another first with quad-core. It would definitely be a first for Sprint, Evo, and it would destroy the smartphone market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sry0fcr:
IMO, the hardware is more than enough to handle whatever you can throw at it. Maybe you should try a new ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonetruekevin:
I think it is still a solid phone. Lots of cool roms still being worked on and it still feels snappy after a year or so of use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I love my evo and think I'll keep it even when I upgrade but I think its reaching its EOL with quad core phones coming out I won't upgrade till then I see no point to go to a dual core atm .

Its sad to see how much the forum has slowed down since the evo 3d came out I remember when there were a few ROMs a day dropping now were all pretty much just waiting on updates to the ones that are out.

Thank God for cm I think we will keep seeing updates from them for a long time.
[HTC Sensation] thebluecoat:
Hey all,

Went to local third party sprint store asked if they sold any batteries, was told no. Waited until I ran into the manager who I'm cool with and asked again, he said "not really, we only carry batteries for the EVO 3d" I said sweet thats the one I want may I buy one? I figured maybe they weren't for sale sale but for tech purposes I don't know I don't really care he said he'd sell me one, and I made sure to pay in cash just in case he was tryin to get his hustle on which is fine with me, I paid $25 flat which seems pretty in line with what the genuine HTC battery costs shipped etc..

ROM: Android Revolution HD

Am sitting on 2% battery left right now, and android says it's been 18hrs 0ms 37 sec on battery: bear in mind where I travel I deal with a lot of edge to hspa transfers and it says "time without a signal" 37%. Also my phone is clocked at 1.5ghz.

Voice calls: 1hr 10min 26 sec

Display time on (texts, web surfing): 2h 16m 14 sec

Wifi use: 34 mins

Accounts:

facebook (every hour)

gmail

work exchange (push) (at least 10 emails with attachments a day, I set to download attach automatically)

school exchange (push)

weather (every hour)

I freely used the crap out of my phone today took off the charger at around 8am this morning, its 2:06am at night, its still alive.

Usually when I come in the door at like 9pm I'm scurrying to find a charger, but this bad boy outperforms the original battery BIG TIME, and I hope my scenario above (in terms of real numbers and stuff) helps those who are wondering about this battery.

PROS:

MUCH MUCH more battery life

CONS:

Instantly noticed the extra bit of weight to the phone (I enjoy it though, makes it feel more solid)

Takes longer to charge.

Any questions let me know, talk to your third party sprint stores (they are the only ones that do repairs and would probably have this battery on hand) and pay in CASH lol.
[HTC Sensation] leehopley:
Cheers mate.. that was a very indepth conclusion :)

ill probs go out and buy one over the next coming weeks :)

does it add any buldge to the back case? ie is it even very slightly bigger?

Thanks! :)
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
It's 1mm thicker. I don't know how it fits in case because I don't have one.
[HTC Sensation] balto:
Do you notice if the phone runs warmer with this battery over stock?
[HTC Sensation] thebluecoat:
In regards to the battery size:

Soon as I popped it in, there was no issue whatsoever snapping the back cover on, fits like a glove, no bulge or anything, device feels slightly more heavier however. You use the original battery door, does not come with a larger one.

In regards to the battery being warmer:

I've only seen it go to 96f watching netflix movie, right now sitting on my desk it says 80f, last night when it got a little colder, I can only assume that its VERY close to the unibody and with the metal cooled it was at 66f.

The reason why I chose to have the 1730mAh over the anker 1900 is because of the information that I've come across from this gentleman d0ugie and his website batteryboss.

You can clearly see as an example a genuine htc nexus one battery of 1400mAh tested in at 1357mAh actual capacity VERSUS a seidio nexus one 1600mAh battery testing in at 1305mAh actual capacity.

Through his testing you can CLEARLY see that genuine HTC batteries in terms of their actual ratings against their claims are nearly 90% accurate.

Why would you go buy a 1900mAh battery with crappy cells/manufacturing that ACTUALLY rates in at like 1730mAh or possibly LESS, who knows I don't have the equipment. But I don't buy off brand batteries anymore because of the information on that site.

Hope it helps you guys make the better choice. Cheers
[HTC Sensation] mastait:
very good, thx, i think i will buy the HTC EVO 3D Battery.
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
I was gonna ask about the temp difference with the stock battery? Is it noticeable?
[HTC Sensation] stevendph:
I am using Evo 3D battery now (order from Ebay), really better battery life... As for the temperature, same usage with Stock Sensation battery, i cannot notice any difference as it doesnt get too hot on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] j0hnnyn:
im running the same as you ARHD and evo3d battery. weight gain definitely. unfortunately for me the results differ from my experience. i dont see a notice in change. maybe because ive been on my phone for the majority of the time messing with my settings. who knows. ill report back if my battery stats begin to change.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

I'm going to buy the 1900 anker battery soon. Hopefully i will see an improvement.
[HTC Sensation] Speedy72:
also bought an original HTC Evo 3D battery. Notice a slight improvement in duration, but wonder if it was worth the 25 euro's. Advantage is that I now have two batteries and can exchange them if juice runs out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Is this different in function than rodderik's dual boot support?

I know his didn't include usb booting support, but sdcard booting appears to be the same...although this seems a little cleaner, possibly
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
His uses a modified init, which then choses to load which init.rc, the one names init.rc.sdcard or normal init.rc. This (kexec method) reminds me A LOT like how they ran linux/android on winmo devices...it shuts down android and then runs the kernel they want (if I read correctly).
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Yes. The genocide implementation allows a ROM to boot from the sd card as long as the kernel on the main ROM supports the sd ROM. this means you cannot dual boot a gingerbread and a froyo ROM because the need different kernels .

With this patch that limitation is removed as the sd based ROM can use its own separate kernel. This you may run stock ec05 and keep cyanogen or a gingerbread on the sd card to test and play with.

Great work mkasick
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I was never interested in the dual boot feature since that was ROM's only and itwas limited by kernel support.

But now this really interest me, can't wait till we see some developers take advantage of this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
All I have to say is hope you stick with the epic your amazing
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Yes, this is complementary to Rodderik's dual boot. Kexec allows one to load a different kernel, but it still defaults to booting the ROM stored in flash. Which is great for kernel testing, but not of much use otherwise.

It's easy enough to modify a kernel to load a ROM only from SD, but then we'll start seeing a divide between "bml kernels" and "SD kernels", when really it'd be nice to have init scripts that support both. That's where Rodderik's work comes in.

Probably the best is to have a kernel command line parameter that specifies where the ROM is located, so it can be passed in. Something like "console=ttySAC2,115200 loglevel=4 systemfs=mmcblk0p2 datafs=mmcblk0p3 cachefs=mmcblk0p4". These would default to stl9, stl10, stl11 respectively if unspecified. The kernel command line is available to init through "/proc/cmdline", and it's easy enough to parse in a shell script.

But yes, keeping a working ROM on flash while testing/debugging CyanogenMod was my primary motivation, since I need a working phone "during the day" and can't touch CyanogenMod otherwise.

Thanks!

I'm much of a year out on a full upgrade, and I'm not considering a new device sooner as long as my Epic still works.

Edit: An obvoius limitation is modem compatibility. I've avoided the GB leaks thus far, so I'm not sure what's the status with that. But if GB supports the EC05 modem, then you can dual boot EC05 and GB-whatever. Same if EC05 supports newer modems.

Speaking of which, anyone know what GB modem compatibilty is like?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
As far as I know, and from experience, modems are a free for all except for bonsai. Ec05 modem works on gb, leaked modems work on ec05.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
this is definitely very cool, thanks mkasick!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
mkasick you never cease to amaze me...i'll definately play with this, this week if i have the time!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Great!

If you run into something not particularly straight forward, or think there's something I can clarify, please ask. I've been playing around with this long enough that I fear I might've overlooked documenting a detail or two that would be helpful for others.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
So to patch any kernel u just point the script to the zImage?

sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
The script only implements one patch, it allows any kernel to boot ~30 seconds faster when kexec'd.

But yes, "./patch_decomp_cachebufram.sh zImage" modifies that zImage to boot faster. It requires the xxd hexdump tool that's packaged with vim.

Kexec support itself, along with the slew of other source patches, has to be applied to a kernel source tree, from which a new kernel must be built to take advantage of them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
I see...so its a no-go for gb. Or at least quick gingerbread.

sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
You should be able to kexec a GB kernel, but you'd need an EC05-ish /system on flash to boot recovery. Unless GB recovery is compatible with Froyo kernels.

If you're going to boot a GB kernel, you'd probably want to repackage the initramfs with an init.rc that loads the rest of the GB ROM off SD. It's actually not a bad way to keep EC05 around for a stable, working phone, and to test GB leaks as they happen. Which, hopefully, shouldn't be much longer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
wow mkasick, you never cease to amaze me bro...

I wish I wasn't working so many damned hours now, with your patches, I really want the dual boot now. Like you, the need for a working phone at all times is what keeps me from flashing more ROMs, including EpicCM and the gb leaks...

I hope Rodderik figures this out pretty quickly, as most of my dev time is spent on the IRC channels, and he's usually around to help and answer questions.

Once I can get my Clean Kernel working with this, I'll be stoked... I have had a tough time dealing with patches thus far, I usually git cherry-pick and/or manually edit, so I need to figure out how to use the patches correctly.

Anyways, gotta go to work now (I'm working 50+ hour weeks now, hence the time constraints), but hopefully I can get the time to get it into my kernel.

Thanks, mkasick!

Sent from my Samsung Epic4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
What environment (OS, etc.) are you using? Is the "patch" utility working for you?

The patches are split up based on functionality. In each patch directory there's a "series" file that lists the order they should be applied. There's a program, quilt that can help manage them but it's not necessary. If you're running a bourne shell (e.g., bash) in the "Kernel" directory of the kernel sources, you should be able to apply the patches with:

while read i; do patch -p 1 < "/path/to/kexec_patches/kernel-EC05/$i"; done < "/path/to/kexec_patches/kernel-EC05/series"

Whether they'll apply cleanly or not is a different story, but that's the general idea.

And yeah, time ....
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Thank you mkasick, that's a great explanation, I think I can handle that, much appreciated!

For the record, I compile by ssh into dev boxes donated for dev use. They all run linux in different distros. I find this most convenient since I can do most everything from the command line using your brilliant connectbot for epic :)
