It will have to be a stock sense 1.0 rom or Espt codes wont work to activate the phone.

It's possible, but he would have to hunt for some cdma pst tools for his PC which shouldn't be hard (e.g. QPST 2.7 355 ) so that you can connect to your phone via USB Cable. Now of coarse as mentioned above you will need HTC Sense to be able to dial keypad commands to get your phone into DIAG Mode "##3424#", but don't frown yet because if you have AndroidSDK or HTC Sync even so that you can use adb commands you should be able to put the phone into DIAG mode this way. I am assuming the phone is rooted since he has a custom rom. below are the adb commands to use to put the phone into DIAG Mode then you shouldn't have a problem looking for a guide using those cdma PST tools to program his phone to revol.

ADB Commands:

First be sure to cd into your directory where adb.exe is located.

adb devices <<< this command is just to be sure your phone is found

adb shell

$ su

# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb-composit/diag/enable

That should enable DIAG for you. To disable DIAG once your done simply change the "1" from the last line to a "0" and it will be disabled.

Hope this helps one way or another.. good luck bud. :)

I have some one that has an Evo and wants it flashed to boost mobile. Question how do I go about that and can it still be rooted and have a custom rom after flashing it??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolosus:
I have an EVO. Its on Boost. You can find the guide on how to do it around the net and on the forum. You can also buy the same guide on ebay... not sure why people bother.

You can root the phone or port it to Boost while it is not rooted. Doesn't matter. Once ported you can put on any rom that you feel like... again root or no doesn't matter. I have a non Sense rom. EPST codes sometimes give me trouble but for the most part I dont need it. I use Miui. You can use any rom you want but Sense rom will not give you voicemail notifications while any AOSP rom will. Thus my choice of Miui.

Without epst access on a sense rom you'll have trouble with MMS (picture messaging). What you have to do is change the APN settings... on a AOSP rom that's complicated. The easiest solution that I found is to not use the bundled messaging app and get GO SMS Pro from the Market (free). Once installed go into Settings> Adwanced> MMS Settings and Fill APN Configuration Manually

MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.com

MMS Proxy: Leave this one alone/unchanged

MMS Port: 80

Good luck.

PS: Please do not start a thread about this as the thread will quickly become a legal vs. illegal thread.

So I just ordered a Lexar 16 gig Class 10 SDHC off of Ebay. It cost 20.50 with free shipping and handling. It had some pretty okay specs listed. Has anyone every tried this brand of sd card? I figured for the price it can't be that bad
[EVO 4G Accessories] JustSomeDude:
Haven't heard anything really negative about Lexar, so hopefully it's good.

But you have to be careful with those cards off of ebay, you can often get fakes. Make sure you check it right when you get it (use something like what's discussed here: How to spot a fake SDHC card... I believe there are also apps in the market).

Again, hopefully it'll be all good, but if there's any trouble, hopefully you can report it to ebay and get a refund.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DonSolo:
Thanks bud! Will do! I heard of fake items like SD cards and batteries on there but the seller seemed pretty authentic. Worse comes to worse I'll return it
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kur10uCity:
Thanks for the link, definetly good info. I'll be checking my card tonight.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DonSolo:
Finally came in today at about noon. So far so good. Seems snappy. I'm going to run a speed test and post the results
[EVO 4G Accessories] MagicalSandwich:
So it is a legitimate learn card? I got 16gb class 4 thinking it'd be fast enough but it's not. Time to upgrade again
[EVO 4G Accessories] Deleted member 3363982:
I am looking into one of the class 10 as well, currently on a 16gb class 4, and i cant tell a speed difference from the Class 8 i had in previously, i think its worth the investment, just makes things like the gallery and titanium run faster
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tkanne:
Hello everyone, and thank you very much for all your hard work in this forum. Also, I'd like to apologize if my questions have been answered elsewhere. I've searched, but I must have missed the answers.

First of all, I'm a noob all right: first-time owning an android device and having almost no experience with linux/unix systems. However, I'm not afraid to learn and tinker with things if I know what I'm doing, the rewards and the risks involved. I have searched and read quite a bit, but I still can't decide whether I want to root my tablet or not. Hence the question: What are the benefits of rooting the NT?

1. Install 3rd party apps?

This seems to be the biggest reason for most people who decide to root their NT. However I'm not an app junkie. In fact I prefer my device to be lean and mean, so I try to minimize the number of apps I install. I don't play games, not even Angry Birds, so the apps that I'm interested in are mostly utility apps. I value functions more than looks, so I couldn't care less about installing a personalized color theme, but I would go all out to get something that helps me organize my stuffs. I have tons of music and books and PDF documents that without a folder system, it would be an impossible pain to scroll up and down to find the thing I want. So my questions are: does stock NT allow us to organize our stuffs into nested folders? If it's a no for stock NT, can rooted NT do that? I've heard that we need to sideload 3rd party app (mxplayer) to playback some video files (mkv)? Can I stream flash videos, such as those on youtube or hulu.com, using built-in web browser, or do I need to root my NT and install particular browser? Is there a good app to read and annotate PDF documents? Can I install voice chat apps such as GTalk or Skype? Is there a good app for sketching with or without a stylus?

I guess my question is, are there such apps, and if there are, can I sideload them without rooting?

2. Remove memory restriction?

We have only 1GB for non-nook stuffs and restrictions on what apps we can install where. Even though we can sideload many non-nook apps as well as non-nook content without rooting, they are not going to be stored in the nook-only partition, right? So is there a way we can access and store our stuffs on that huge nook-only space without rooting? If not, will rooting allow us to do that? It just seems unfair to me that out of 12GB, we have only 1GB for our own stuffs.

3. System/Interface modifications?

I read somewhere that NT does have a bluetooth chip, but rooting still doesn't make it usable. Then what are the main modifications we can do? Would any of them prevent us from unrooting and returning the NT to stock if need be?

Thank you very much for reading my post, and again sorry if I unknowingly violate any rules/etiquette of the forum.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] n8w:
Lot's of questions, but that's ok. I have a nook color that was rooted, and my android phone is rooted...and that's about the extent of my experience, but it lets me compare to a non-rooted NT just fine.

I'm finding that with a little effort, my stock NT is just about as flexible as my rooted NC. Without rooting, I've got a ton of apps sideloaded, a different launcher running, an app that allows me to access specific apps or the whole drawer no matter where I am (wave launcher), dropbox, pdf's a plenty, netflix and hulu...yeah. I'm actually impressed with the stock pdf reader as I can highlight and look up words directly from the text, but I primarily use Repligo for pdf's as the stock reader sucks at reflowing the text. I keep just about everything on my sd card, so I'm not too concerned with the storage partition. I plan on getting a 32gb card and moving apps to sd if I have to...no biggie.

The only thing I really miss about not being rooted is not being able to use titanium back up, or access to the android market for updating my apps, and the only reason I'm not is that I'm too lazy to go through the process. As of right now, if I want an app on my NT, I either get it off the Amazon market (which can easily be installed on a stock NT), or I pull the apk from my titanium back ups on my phone. I know it's not a true tablet, so I'm not so concerned with putting different roms on it. I like it as a high power reader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
It sounds like you don't need a rooted NT, really. Android market is the main reason for most people who don't want to fully use it as an android tablet or mess around with settings to use the machine.

You can install launchers, other apps, amazon market, etc, without rooting it - and a 16 or 32GB sd card is going to be plenty on a reader/browser/streaming entertainment device. As mentioned in another thread, if you're asking why? then you don't need it :) Try to do whatever you want without it, and keep in mind that it's *not* a drastic procedure if you do decide to root the device, and you can always unroot/go back to factory whenever.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gtaber:
I'm somewhat experienced with Android, but I just lurk on the forums, I rarely post. The talent here and on other forums is amazing. You ask why root? And then you spell out the 3 main reasons for rooting. You kinda answered your own question. What you need to do now is make a decision for your self if you want to root. Factory restore is real easy, as long as you don't mess with the partitions, if you need warranty. One reason for rooting you left out, which to me is the most important, it's my hardware, I'll do what I want to with it-once I pay for it I don't want to be told what I can and cannot do with it. I guess that's ego. I love mine rooted, it's a decent standard android tab, and the Nook, because all the Nook software is still there-I chose not to remove it. Whatever you decide, though, Enjoy it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tkanne:
Thank you all so much for replying to my post. It sounds like I don't need to root my NT, and that's my feeling too. Rooting or unrooting the device doesnt seem to be difficult, I was just wondering if it's worth it. I didn't want to miss out on something cool if I don't. I'm quite keen on reclaiming as much built-in memory as I can though, so I'll keep an eye out for when the gurus in this forum find out how to do create and mount a virtual FAT filesystem as mentioned in this post. It will also be real cool if someone figure out how to make the bluetooth chip work, if at all possible.

I have a question about Android market though. What's the main benefits of having Android Market vs Amazon Appstore?

Thanks again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
You won't be - it's mostly convenience and exposure to more apps (by browsing the market), and a few other things (backup tools).

The Amazon store sort of seems to be pulling apps from a small (very small, like 2% or so currently) section of the Android market actually, since I've found deals on Amazon mirrored when the Android market was having a sale - but never the reverse. So: main advantage is separate deal opportunities for when apps go on sale. If you have access to an android device (your phone etc) you can just buy them on that device instead and port them over. The Amazon store is actually nicer and has more features that you'll like - the ability to block in-app purchases, much more reliable reviews, daily free app deals, so it's not bad at all. The Android market is much much bigger, but that likely means both harder to find stuff and ending up with a lot of apps that flat out don't work or crash on the NT. And who knows, the B&N app store might be expanded to be fairly large next year (they're planning on it).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tkanne:
Wow, thanks so much for the explanation, zmobie. Now I feel totally confident that I won't need the Android Market, at least as far as I can see. I might still root my NT though, one day, just for the fun of it :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nuenjin:
Amazon DRM

Let's not fail to mention that apps purchased through the Amazon App Store have been infected with DRM (digital rights management). You must keep the Amazon App Store application installed so that it can verify that you did not steal the apps. Though I am uncertain whether it keeps a log or actually makes contact with Amazon.com.

Then there is the fact that it runs in the background constantly. The NT may have the memory for it but my phone doesn't

So here we are, talking about not being coerced or controlled by hardware manufacturers but are perfectly willing to drink the Amazon kool-aid.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tkanne:
Thanks, Nuenjin. I didn't know that about Amazon Appstore. I hate things that run in the background unnecessarily, and this will be one of those. Why does it need to do that? Can we force it to close or change the settings such that it wont start automatically (sth similar to changing the startup settings on the PC)? As for the DRM, do we have a way to strip it off the apps? I bought ebooks from amazon now and then, and I always strip off the DRM so I can read them on other devices...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Does this also apply to the "free app of the day" from amazon?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mrkkk:
very much so
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nuenjin:
There are many people who do not mind a little DRM with their breakfast. They get a free app every day and sometimes better deals on the rest. I don't own any tablet yet, waiting on money honestly, but my phone can't support another memory sucking app that doesn't pull its own weight.

I read an article, and I'm looking for it so I can post it, about the hoops that Amazon forces developers to jump through.

For instance:

-The free app of the day; the developer gets no royalty for a free app.

-DRM is 'optional' but has anyone found an Amazon app that does not contain it?

-Developers cannot put their app 'on sale' outside of Amazon without lowering their Amazon price permanently.

-Amazon decides where the app will be priced, not the developer.

Sorry to go on, but once again, I don't like to do business with people/groups who bully their way into market share. That's Apple's model.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Sounds like a poor business model, as it pushes developers away.

Follow up question on amazon app market: if you get the free app of the day, is it forever tied to your amazon account? Can I remove amazon app store then someday put it back on and have access to those free apps?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] akaCat:
Yup, they're tied to your account. So as long as you attach the app store to the same account (and the apps haven't been removed by amazon for some reason) you'll have access to them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tkanne:
I pay for the app but Amazon can still remove it if they want? Now that's really ridiculous. Please, do we have a way to remove DRM? I'm totally new to this whole thing so I have no idea...

By the way, just to confirm, Android Market doesn't do this?

And one more question, I bought SoundHound from Apple AppStore for my iPhone. Is there a way I can install it on my NT? Or do I need to buy its Android version?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
You need an android version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] akaCat:
I only meant if Amazon hasn't removed the apps from their market. I have no idea if any android app vendor has a way to remove a downloaded app from a device.

Google has removed numerous apps from the android market. The ones I've heard of were all malware of some sort, so no loss.

Does anyone else feel like it's like wrong to run other looks/UIs, like stock Android, or like TouchWiz look on an HTC device. Whenever I try to, I always restore back to sense as soon as I remember that it's an HTC device that's supposed to have sense. Maybe I'm just weird.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Nah. Even when I was stock w/Sense, I used ADWLauncher and tried to make it feel like plain android.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Lol nah. I was just running Adw ex on rls 1.1 for an ics look. It went with the theme. I personally love sense, but don't like all the gloss and crap. I want it all matte.

I don't want to start a Sense vs AOSP debate, but IMO Sense is really starting to feel like it's own OS. With each update it seems to feel less like an android. I may be biased because I hated it from the time I had the Eris. Sense was very laggy back then lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I have to agree about it coming into its own os feel. I know when I was running the SE X10 everyone asked for a sense port of some kind. I can't stay away from it. I might run GOLauncher from time to time but I flip back to sense.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
We see eye to eye allot lol.

I loved sense for a while lol but it hot heavy and bloated to me...and no 5 column app drawer....lame..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] funky_snowman:
3rd party roms are always too buggy or lack features for me to justify using them. that includes cm7,miui and all of the sense roms.my phone just seems to perform more consistently with the rooted stock roms and sense launcher, that is the only reason i use it.

of course i hate sense and probably won't be buying another htc phone next go around because of it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nova5:
never liked Sense, TouchWiz,etc. TagHome is what i've always run.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ryankliber:
Yeah kinda feels weird when u go back to sense, but sense isn't for me when we can root and do anything
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rehkhan97:
sense is the best out of touchwiz, motoblur, etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I really enjoyed sense 3.5, plus i love the power saving features. However, I don't like being stuck on one single UI. Its the only reason, why I would never buy an Iphone. Also, I prefer MIUI because i can change customizations as often as i want. Also, I'm thinking some of our dev's will have a complete ICS port way before HTC has a working Sense ICS version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Something I'd love to see, and would probably keep me using only that is a hybrid between sense and MIUI similar to MIUIwhiz from TSM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
I thought I'd love Sense until I got the Inc2, and pretty much immediately disliked it. I didn't like the launcher - dedicating the entire bottom dock to phone, apps and customize buttons, to me, is just stupid, especially the customize button - once I get things set how I like it, why would I ever use that button again. I know it can be modded to be something else, but we're talking about stock Sense. Also, most of the widgets are useless to me - I don't use Facebook, Twitter or any other social network BS, and I don't schedule anything on a calendar. The e-mail and SMS widgets are OK, but would have been better if they were combined into a catch-all messaging widget like Pure Messenger.

So I ended up using ADW EX (which I had been using since my Fascinate). Went back and forth between CM7, Sense and MIUI for a while until I realized I don't care for the overall aesthetics of Sense, and CM7 is just a little too spartan. I don't like MIUI's lack of an app drawer, but I like how it looks/works otherwise, so I've been using MIUI with ADW EX and it suites me just fine. Never once thought that, being an HTC phone, it HAD to run Sense.

Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I feel like you're spot on. I feel like that is the beauty of Android, we have so many choices, and no one can tell you what you have to run or what has to be done with your looks. I used to love MIUI, but for some reason I restored to it today after being on sense for a while, and it just didn't do it for me. I'm kinda curious about lefty's cm7.2 kang build. I love this phone and how many choices there are and how diverse we have it here. To each there own, I love sense, but I also love AOSP. I love Android. Haha

I just came to the DInc2 from OG D1, and I've actually really taken to the Sense UI. To me, coming from custom froyo then GB Roms, then a few HC and ICS themed Roms, the Sense feels so much more polished and intuitive.

I'm running Skyraider with dres' OC kernel, but even stock didn't seem laggy, just crazy bloated.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
There are a lot of Sense features I like, but the only thing I end up using really is the Ring-Pull and shortcut Sense lockscreen. Dedicating valuable screen space is not cool, especially with how little you can change it (skins only for stock). I think HTC does a good job with it, it just isn't for me. I'm liking ADW ex right now on rls1.1, but I'm just biding my time for MIUI to put out their ICS build like I'm sure a lot of people are.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Have you tried the CM7 "rings" lockscreen? It gives you the option to put any app shortcuts on the screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I haven't. Operation is smooth? And I assume these can be used with MIUI?

And lastly, where do I find these?

I don't know about Miui, but most other AOSP's have it (Liquid, Pool Party, CM7). In CM7 they are in CyanogenMod settings. Liquid and Pool Party are a little different.

Man, every time I try any other launcher, I remember the day I pulled the battery in my busted ass og Droid running Chevy #1, n fired up my new Dinc 1. I had put magnolia on our before first running it so I could get right to it.

I was just blown away....like man this is like.....art.

I can't use anything else now. I try. I try all the AOSP roms, lasts about five minutes. Even after i get used to it, still looks nice.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
Yea, I loved liquid on my d1. Fired up my brand new dinc2, and the sense launcher blew my mind. Been running newt's Inc hd since it came out, sense 3.5 just makes aosp roms look silly. Except maybe miui. But that is a stretch.
