[HTC EVO 3D] Lolento:
Yes, this is what I'm doing and it is taking me straight to Google Nav Beta...I want to use Navigon instead because it don't want to use data...you know how expensive the powers to be made data these days, and I travel alot for work...

On my xoom, it is exactly as you said and it will pop up an option to select the nav software.

I never set defaults on my Evo 3d so I don't know how to reverse it or anything...help?!

EDIT: Thanks for your reply though, appreciate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Try clearing google maps and/or google nav defaults in the android settings. This should allow you to select an option when you follow t3project's suggestion.

Hi,

Any news about a possibility to launch navigon from google maps?

Maybe try using a different app for maps than google... I just did a search for "android map app" and the first hit was this offline app.. http://www.mapdroyd.com/
[HTC EVO 3D] Koying:
Very late answer, but I created an app to do just that: semperNavLinks (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.semperpax.sempernavlinks)
[HTC EVO 3D] numero41:
Hello, I bought your app on the store, rebooted my phone, but it does'nt work, when I click on navigation in google maps, it takes me directly to google nav app.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Koying:
Could you tell me which device/android version you are using, please?

Did you get (about) the same dialogs as in the screenshots of Google Play?

So, when you selected "Car navigation" (or whatever it is in the english version), you are brought directly to Goggle Nav, right?
[HTC EVO 3D] numero41:
Hello, I have a Htc One X jelly bean, and I'm french, so do you?

It works sometimes when I set an itinary and click on the navigation button on the bottom, but most of the time it says to me that your application has crashed, and it brings me directly to ggogle nav when i click on the navigation option directly from the "Maps" menu.
[HTC EVO 3D] Koying:
Did you submit a report when the crashes occur? I don't see one...

I'm not sure what you mean by "the navigation option directly from the "Maps" menu", but anyway a destination must be selected, because it's the destination which is passed on to Navigon.

P.S. Je suis bruxellois ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] numero41:
hi,

I will submit a report next time it will crash, but for the moment it works fine.

I was speeking about "navigation" shortcut in the main menu of Maps, it would be cool if I could have a navigon one, but it's already fine for me :)

[HTC EVO 3D] Koying:
Cool. As soon as I get a report, I'll be able to debug the crashes.

Don't hesitate to leave an honest evaluation on Play ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
Hi,

This has been bugging me since day 1 when I used my Note. In my other Android phones, I usually just have to slide to answer a call, but in the Note, I have to hold the button and slide. This is what I dislike about the Note and I would like to know if there is a way to change the way to receive a call by just slide to answer instead? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravindra9:
There are many 3rd party apps to solve your need. For example search the android market for "Smart Answer Call by James Kim". Needless to mention there are many more such apps u will get in the market.

Try clearing the cache (and possibly data) from the market app. Restart the NT and see if it will work.

the hboot htc provides for the unlock supports fastboot commands, took us a while to figure that out at #g2root.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

you have to boot in fastboot mode to be able to issue fastboot commands:

from shell ($ or #) while the phone is connected to the computer:

exit
adb reboot bootloader

from normal win cmd (the > prompt):

adb reboot bootloader

[G2 and Desire Z General] cbm1988x:
hi there

I got a big problem at the last step

after I use ROM manager flash in the ROM I want, and my computer cant find my phone and ,of course, I cant use cmd.exe to flash the boot.img again.

now my phone stop at the begining (green htc with white background)

What can I do now?

OMG now I cant turn on it...(after 30 minutes)
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
does not turn on at all or keeps hanging on the white screen with green htc?

btw, rom manager is not mentioned in that guide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbm1988x:
Hi, sorry because I thought ROM manager is clockworkmod ,too.

And I just make it fine by using restore :p

And there is a question, if I flash in the custom ROM, the Computer will be unable to find my phone, then how could I flash the boot.img into my phone??

Thx
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
If you try turn the phone on normally after flashing a custom rom, before flashing the boot.img it will not boot, and should just hang at the splash screen.

But if you boot to fastboot mode (trackpad + power) it does not matter what rom (if any) you have, your computer will be able to see it. so you flash the boot.img via fastboot

[G2 and Desire Z General] mayurolla:
Forgive my noobyness with rooting. I've messed around with older WinMo phones back in the day. I'm currently running a G2 with 2.3.3. I want to root to install ICS once Andromadous beccomes a bit more stable. Will this HTCDEV tool work and let me install ICS (dont care about sim unlock etc) or will I need to downgrade and yada yada?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mucchan:
Thanks, I managed to root my DHD and install a custom recovery using this guide and the tacoroot guide.

What are the drawback of using this method to unlock the phone? From what I gather at the moment it's no S-OFF and needing to flash the boot.img every time.

Are there any other limitations and risks? I've made a backup of my current installation using clockworkmod recovery, but I'm still a bit hesitant to try and install a custom ROM at the moment.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
The drawbacks to using htcdev is that htc have a record that you have voided your warranty, and the device is still quite locked down.

The downgrade/gfree method will give you a completely unlocked phone, which is a lot easier to fix if anything goes wrong, and you can restore your phone to stock, so that htc cannot see you voided your warranty.

Also, gfree provides sim-unlock, which htcdev does not.

Both methods will let you install any custom rom made for your device (except for g2 users wanting to play with sense 3.x roms). But as stated in the op, htcdev users have to flash boot.img's seperately.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mucchan:
I was aware of voiding the warranty. What I didn't realize is that the warranty is 2 years. I thought it's 1 year (my phone is 14 months old). I've voided it anyway now lol

My phone's sim is unlocked, since 3 gave me an unlock code for it when I was overseas.

According to the first post the relocking of bootloader can be done at anytime? That means I can do the downgrade for S-OFF or revert back to stock down the road after installing custom ROMs?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Yes you can relock and follow the recommend root procedure, or return to stock.

I reckon the xda method is far better though, as it's much less of a hassle to do everything. with htcdev you need to be at a computer, with adb/fastboot to flash a new rom

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mucchan:
The xda method definitely gives more freedom, no doubt about that. At the moment I'm content at having root access and being able to get rid of the bloatware that came with the original 3 branded ROM as well as having installed a custom recovery and making a backup. For some reason I just didn't want to do a downgrade, hence why I decided to mess around with the htcdev method.

Was thinking about installing one of the ICS ROM, but decided to wait for now. Thanks again for the help

[G2 and Desire Z General] msarna:
Great howto, works like a charm, but why do We need perm-root if We are using bootloader that is unlocked ??

I thing it should work without root.

All best.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Normally, and with a locked bootloader, and /system, recovery and boot (and other partitions) are write protected. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to write to those partitions.

Unlocking does NOT give you root access.

You don't need perm-root if you unlock your bootloader, but what's the point of unlocking it if you don't get root?

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] knightslay2:

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ninj:
Hi Nipqer and the others.

While i understand XDA method is far better than HTC official one, i was wondering about one thing: doesn't this official unlock mean that all next updates to HTC phones will be safe to do on a XDA-rooted phone? Or it's not sure?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOUNGTWAN:
dude ive tried every method out there .. im still stuck how do u come up with a method to help after the unlock token part yet u cant help me get the unlock token lol thanx anyways do u have a link to the wiki method
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Ninj: I don't quite follow your question.

The G2/DZ (and Ace/Glacier) is (as far as I know) the most unlocked htc device yet. If you got full S-OFF with gfree, you can flash any official update, and still fairly easily get back to custom roms.

I have no idea if this is the case with other htc phones.

YOUNGTWAN: I can't help you get the token because htc are meant to do that, and I personally have not gone through the htcdev method. I don't want to tell htc I threw my warranty away, and the XDA method gives you a much better unlock.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] fenixus:
well, since my warranty expired already I think I will give a try to official HTCdev unlock method and go from there... just in case, will I still be able to flash the stock 2.3.4 ROM if needed (e.g. I don't like the ICS releases I am about to try out soon) ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
You will be able to return to stock, but you'll have to relock your bootloader to do it, then flash a gingerbread PC10IMG.

But seriously, use the XDA method, its so much better for everything. With the htcdev unlock, you need a computer handy to change roms, with XDA method, you don't.

If you want the link just check the post above yours.

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED: (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 1.249s

Hi,

Im new to the hole rooting topic and own a htc desire z. I unlocked the bootloaders over the official dev site, because i thought it would then be easier to get superuser rights. After hours of searching the hole web I found your thread here.

I don't know what to do now. Do I have to lock the bootloaders again, to get any result? Or is there a way to do it with them unlocked? I know that you explained that at the start, but I just don't get it.

Sorry for me asking this, but after 8 hours of trying to root my phone, theres not much left in my head that could be called a brain :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:

Hi,

you wrote in the flash custom rom section that I should flash the rom.zip from the sdcard.

Could you please explain to me, how this is done?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
1. Reboot to your chosen recovery (adb reboot recovery, or from fastboot pick 'bootloader' then 'recovery')

2. Follow the options on screen ('install zip from sdcard', 'choose zip', etc)

3. Wipe data/factory reset

Have a play around in recovery, get used to where **** is, its handy to know how to use it, and very easy to get the hang of

I consider myself very lucky that I did not brick the phone. Can I use any recent twerp or clockworkmod image (flashed in the same way) to get s-off as long as the HTCDev unlock is complete? Or, is there some other secret sauce. I read in other posts that revolution would not work without much added effort (in addition to likelihood for mistakes and brick production)
