[HTC EVO 3D] domon07:
at least you made a point. my device is gold instead of red. i got it in hongkong but the box is not in english nor chinese (france i think, i'll check on it). it's already unlocked and has custom rom on it that's why i just wanna know directly from the experienced if installing a stock rom/ruu will update the hboot version so i can install the latest cwr, or will it lock my device and/or bootloader. in htc hd2, there are different versions of rom like cwr with recovery 150, 400, etc.. i'm not sure if it's still the same in evo 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] domon07:
What I did......

My device initial status is was unlocked, rooted, customized rom and recovery, S-On and Hboot 1.49.018.

What i did was i downgraded my Hboot version so I can use Revolutionary tool to S-OFF my device(it didn't root my device upon checking with root checker app. Revolutionary tool only has beta keys for 1.49.007 & 1.49.008 so i downgraded to .007.

To downgrade, change the CID to HTC__001. I checked mine using a CID getter app and it was was HTC_027 (France, I think).

To change the cid, use fastboot command (you can download it along with adb.exe). If your device is still locked, "I think" you need to unlock it first using htcdev's tool.

After changing CID, I flashed the official rom PG86IMG.zip with 1.49.007 hboot by putting the zip file on the root of your SD then boot in bootloader by holding vol down while powering the evo 3d on. It will not work if fastboot settings is checked on htc settings.

After flashing, it booted normally(it asked me to setup my device). I downloaded a file explorer to rename the PG86IMG.zip so when I boot into bootloader, it will not extract the official rom again and ask me if I wanna flash(again) the rom, of course i will say no. I booted into bootloader to check the hboot version which is now on 1.49.007. I think the boot loader will be "relocked" too(sorry, i forgot).

I can then request the beta keys so I can use it in Revolutionary tool to S-OFF the device (I have to check if it roots the device too).

The tool asked me if I want to install the Revolutionary Recovery which I pressed yes so I can install custom firmwares(Internet connection required). After the process, the unlocked status from bootloader now says revolutionary.

I powered my device and update Over-the-air but it got stuck to triangle-!-android robot. Maybe because I have the custom recovery (revolutionary). So i flashed the PG86IMG.zip again through bootloader, it removed the custom recovery i installed from revolutionary tool but it will stay S-OFF. I've yet to check the lock/unlock status of the bootloader since i can't restart my evo 3d coz I'm downloading a 2Gb file but I think it's relocked.

After flashing for the second time and booting it again, set it up, I tried updating again through software updated and it updates the device successfully. It adds 3 nice free 3D Games.

I checked my bootloader status and my device went back to hboot 1.49.018 but still S-off.

Summary:

You can always install the official PG86IMG.zip with hboot 1.49.007 to downgrade the hboot version since the CID is still HTC_001 so you can use the Revolutionary tool to install the Custom Recovery to flash any GSM roms you like.

If you have an easiest route to acheive this, please let me know coz I'm not sure if I learn the most recent process or if it's old.

Idk.. ..maybe try out ICS? Most are still in alpha but I think jaredthegreat has his in beta. Worth giving it a shot. I'm running it and have no problems whatsoever besides the reported bugs.
[EVO 4G General] celphtitled:
Try some apps that only work on Rooted phones. AdFree Android comes to mind, LBE Privacy Guard as well.

Most definitely check out UOT Kitchen as well ( http://uot.dakra.lt ) I think I have flashed more files I made on UOT then ROMS.

I was following the tutorial for removing Carrier IQ from the Vivid, and needed the Windows drivers. This is for a friend, and I don't want to install the entire 150MB HTC Sync crap. I got them to install it :D and here are the drivers alone, only 1MB each (Win7, Windows XP).

Hope someone finds them helpful.

Hi there!

I've got strange phone activity while pressing both volume buttons simultaneously.

It vibrates, then phone starts lag. (Because of that PowerAMP starts stuttering). After a short period of time there's short three vibrations and that strange process seems to end.

This happens everywhere(in any app, lockscreen or launcher).

What it could be?

Sorry for my bad english. I wish you understand me.

UPD: Forgot to say, I have MIUI 2.1.13 on .35 kernel (ret4rt's)

[GT540 Optimus General] jasper580:
A little while ago i saw on a forum that they where talking about App2SD+, what means that you have the whole app on th SD.

1) Is it just a joke or does it really exist?

2) If it isn't a joke: is it possible to get it on our phones?
[GT540 Optimus General] brzijazo:
yes,it's true but if U have 2.3 ROM (not stock Rom) then there is no need for the app2SD when U can adjust in setings where to install new app's . that is my opinion
[GT540 Optimus General] bataya:
It is not the same, app2sd+ use sdcard ext partition insted of data. You can use s2sd or link2sd to use ext partition.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDBeermaker:
Thank you for reading my question. I've read multiple forums here trying to find a solution to my quest before breaking down and posting this question.

J4mm3r has created a dualboot menu which allows for the selection of 2 different ROM's or recovery mode. Racks has a couple of threads where he discusses putting 2 different ROM's on those partitions so that you can keep your Stock NC software on the eMCC and boot into either the 'normal' ROM or the 'alternate' ROM.

Here's what I am trying to do and would like some help if anyone is able to assist.

My NC was bought for my wife, but I'm the techie in the family and love how it functions as a tablet. Rather than prepare 2 separate SD cards (one for her and one for me) I was thinking it would be possible to install the same ROM on a dualboot SD card so that when the NC is turned on it defaults to her CM7.1 and when I want to mess around with it (while she is out... of course), I can boot into the 'alternate' ROM.

I've installed CM7.1 Encore for her and everything seems to be working great. I'd like to install the same build for the 'alternate' ROM but just can't figure out how to get the correct partitions built and how to put that ROM on the right partition for it to load that way.

Can anyone out there help?

Cheers!
[Nook Color General] maxslug:
Hi all,

I had the older "kill3r" method of dual booting in place, but here's what I'ld like to do : Dual-boot two fresh copies of CM7, and that's it. This would allow for his and hers. I think I can do it by installing CM7 to the EMCC, and CM7 to the flash, but in order to boot one or the other I have to pop out the card, which I want in there.

Any ideas? I've searched a lot and only come up with older threads talking about the old dual boot method, or newer threads triple booting CM9,stock and CM7.

thanks,

-m
[Nook Color General] votinh:
With the bootable CM7 uSD plugged in, power it up and:

1. if wanting the CM7 on uSD, no action required.

2. if wanting the CM7 on eMMc, press and hold the "N" button to bring up boot menu then select "normal"
[Nook Color General] maxslug:
Wow, that's delightfully easy. I'll give this a try and report back, thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Branford:
Today I downloaded lookout mobile security so that I could use the location/ alarm when lost features, and as I found out, I have to keep some sort of network radio on for these to work. I had 3g on all day, about 11 hrs 45 min at this point, and after I looked at the battery stats I noticed that my phone has been awake all nearly 12 hours. This never happened until I left the 3g radio on, and until today I've kept it off in order to save battery. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it or if this is normal when wireless is left alone. I'm on... the latest deck's gingerbread rom with Tiamat 3.3.7-sbc (for my extended battery). Thanks for any help, sorry if a repost but I didn't find another thread with the search that mentioned this specific issue.

Edit: I turned off 3g right before posting, but as of now the phone remains awake. I guess I should mention that I'm using Go Launcher as well
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vauxhallastra:
I want to run Google maps and YouTube apps rather than the browser versions, but there is no option I can select like my p1000 had when I clicked a link. Any way to do this? The browser versions suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
I have no trouble running the apps. In fact, I think it came with the YouTube app installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vauxhallastra:
Yes they're both pre-installed it just doesn't goto the app when a YouTube link is pressed, it just plays it in the browser and no choice to use the app instead
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
I don't have my Tab at work, so I'll check when I get home, but I didn't think that they opened in the browser. Youtube may (I don't remember for certain), but I'm almost certain Google maps does not. Of course, I may have just be oblivious to it, so I'll have to check to be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StingerDog:
Have you tried updating or reinstalling the apps from the Marketplace?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
Just took a closer look. Maps is a standalone app (I think it was around 30 MB). YouTube doesn't open in the normal browser, but i do think it's possibly just a link that opens the browser with certain functions disabled as it's only 68k, but doesn't have the normal browser menu options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vauxhallastra:
I don't think I am getting my message across clearly. This is an example. If you install a new browser and then do a Google search, it will then ask you which browser to open up the search with. This is how it is on my p1000 with map links and YouTube links when browsing and pressing links. On the p6200 it is not giving this option. It just runs them inside of the browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vauxhallastra:
YouTube is pre-installed and not on the market here with Honeycomb. Maps is up to date and reinstalled. I just think its something usefull that has been removed from Honeycomb. Maybe Google think the web versions are just as good on honeycomb which I would disagree with.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vauxhallastra:
Seems to only be from the browser. If I open a link outside of the browser it gives me the option for the apps..Its odd why they have made it this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
OK, I did misunderstand you. I see what you're saying now, and I think mine does exactly the same thing. Not sure if there's an option to change that default behavior or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] StingerDog:
Weird. Mine works exactly as it should. When I click on a YouTube link from the Dolphin browser (don't use the stock browser), a pop-up will ask me what I want to open it with and the YouTube app is one of the choices. Same thing with Maps. Maybe it's a browser setting in your tablet? What browser are you using? Or is the problem that you have a non-US tablet model (different stuff set up for international models)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vauxhallastra:
Yes it's a browser issue, I use stock. I've tried dolphin browser and it works fine with links to external apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] strra:
According to Acer ANZ's Facebook page, the a500 is now scheduled to get the ICS update by April 2012 as opposed to the former January expectation.

I suppose this is better than not getting it at all :)

Hopefully, someone will have a fully functioning build sooner than Acer does!

The Facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/AcerANZ

Also, attached a picture of the comment.
[Acer Iconia A500] sheik_yerbouti:
I'm guessing ANZ stands for Australia-New Zealand? If so, then the same applies for India too. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] masands:
If you look again, ACER ANZ have removed their comment. This can only mean 1 thing; that they were wrong/didn't know the actual date.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
It will come when it comes. At least Acer is a lot faster than Samsung when it comes to software updates, especially to its "lesser known" devices........

If you are dying to get ICS there is a ROM for it over at tegra owners. Almost everything is working except for the camera. You do so at your own risk though.
[Acer Iconia A500] strra:
Well, I don't know about it only meaning that.. Maybe the guy's boss found out that he spilled the beans and demanded he take it down...

Anyway, we all hope he was full of it and Acer Poland was right with January. But like I said, better April than never.
[Acer Iconia A500] wthomas50:
January would be good,Feb. Is OK, April is along way off. I just hope we get it.Just got a survey from Acerasking how I liked A500, responded that they should make sure that an OTA update to ICS comes soon, said that alot of people on xda developers and other Acer and android sites expect it and will be pi**ed with Acer if it doesn't come soon.I know this would be my last Acer product if it does not happen.

Wayne
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Actually, let me clear up some of the confusion. The February-April ICS date mentioned was ICS estimated release for ACER's new hardware. For example, if you buy an a200 they will tell you to look for ICS starting in February as an OTA.

Again, everyone needs to watch actually what ACER is actually saying. Because they are releasing new hardware (really nice what I saw at CES) with HC, it is nuking up the waters. I stood there at CES and watched a person come up and ask 'when we getting ICS?' and they replied starting in Feb. But, when I asked the salesman, are you saying we're getting ICS on the a500, starting in Feb? The sales person said, no. That this was for these new tablets they're releasing now with HC. But, the person asking had already walked away assuming they were talking about all tablets with HC.

So a lot of people are taking this as ACER saying older equipment will also be getting the ICS OTA. This is not clear, nor has it been clear when we've talked to ACER directly. It really depends on which way the wind blows. They told the 'suits' here that it wasn't then was, and then it wasn't. So, maybe you have to drink more to understand it <lol>.

So, if you want ICS then load a custom ROM that already has it. You can always flash back if and when they release it.

[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
If it takes Acer until April to get ICS to the A500, I'll be buying anything BUT an Acer that is out with Teg3 and ICS.

Scr3w that! :p
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
I think I'm with you too. CES had some really, really, really nice Teg3 ones and NO LOCKED bootloader.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
Yeah... hoping I didn't get screwed over for the second time; once by motorola and now soon* by acer. I still believe in you acer!
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Dont forget that the a500 didnt ship with a locked bootloader, that was patched in. No guarantee that the teg3 devices will stay unocked.

On another note, are the new acer tablets the same as these, but with teg3? I ask because the only reason I dont run ICS now is because I need the camera. If it isnt figured out by then (it seems more devices are getting it running now) could the camera stuff be taken from the a200or whatever?
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
You know you're right with the locked bootloader, but I was thinking of a vendor that has a policy not to lock it.

The camera is not the only issue we've had with hardware drivers on ICS. It will depend on what hardware you really need supported and/or matters to you. Some of the tablets at CES with ICS crashed or parts didn't work in some of the demos. No real big issues because they are not yet ready. The vendors that have been working on ICS for a while seem to very stable.

[Acer Iconia A500] jvillejoe:
The a 200 does not have a rear facing cam. the a 510 I am not sure. Both have a teg 2 so not much of a upgrade from the a 500. The a 700 I am not sure of because it is still so new.:(
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
The next Asus one with the higher screen Res looked nice, but Asus support is worse than Acer's, which really isn't saying much these days. :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
My current ASUS I like (transformer). I liked the Toshiba Thrive better right up to the last OTA which is when they locked the boot loader (removed fastboot actually).

Samsung Galaxy 10 I have is pretty good too. I'm just sick of fighting locked devices then we find an exploit then they patch it. PUKE. I'm really thinking Windows 8 might be a better solution.

TD

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

Isn't the rear camera not supported on ICS because no drivers and the one they put on the NEW A200 does? Why only the front, not sure?

Some of the hardware devices that we use on the a500 have no ICS drivers at all and non-planned (official from ACER). However we were assured that on their new line they would have all the hardware drivers for what we need. However, we have to purchase new devices. Reminds me of upgrading Windows just to find out you need to buy a new printer, or the time I had to purchase a new scanner because there were no drivers for my win98 fax/scanner when I went to XP.

So for us, ICS isn't even an option because lack of device drivers on the a500, unless that changes. But for most, maybe it won't matter. But, can you imagine waking up to find ICS downloaded on your a500 and your keyboard doesn't work? Or your mobile card? How about your blood pressure monitor, or diabetes tester? With a locked bootloader how you going fix that, and if you roll back, OTA's still keep a coming unless you can root it.

A mad house I tell you, a mad house. Sometimes I think they think we're trainable monkey's. Take your dirty stinky locked bootloader off my tablet you dang dirty ACER update.

TD
[Acer Iconia A500] go.george:
I also think I am done with acer for two reasons. Updates get postponed each and every time and that not very fair for their customers... Maybe they should hire some more programer or I don't know what..... Also the quality of build is terrible. My volume button broke and when i opened the device I saw it was based on two tiny plastic "legs" that could break anyway by hard use; so be careful with it. On the other hand the hardware it is in general good and no any software problems (with custom rom of course). If any other new device come with full USB port then bye bye acer!!!!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] firetruck41:
Once again, you completely miss the mark. Your lack of reading comprehension is phenomenal or you didn't even read the original post and attachment.

If you read the attachment in the original post, you would see there is absolutely no way to construe it, as even remotely referring, to some future/yet to be released Acer tablets. It was intended for current A500 owners.

IMHO, you really don't have the credibility to "let you clear up some of the confusion". Your "anti ICS upgrade" dogma, is starting to cloud your judgement and apparently your understanding of the English language.

Now, as to why the post was removed, it could be a myriad of things, either "good" or "bad", for those wishing for an upgrade.
