PLEASE HELP Brad! Your the ONLY one who CAN

Hello Brad,

I am in real need of contacting you as it seems that your the only one that can help me since you seem to have the knowledge in my issue.

I rooted my HTC EVO 4G for SPRINT thru Revolutionary about a month ago and now I wanted to do the software update to 4.67.651.3. My current software is4.54.651.1. I have read thru many of your post but it is a little complicated to understand what to do when I'm not a genius developer like yourself.:) If you can just please direct me in the right direction as to how to update my rooted phone to the new software. I see all these links you post but I have no specific directions as to what are the steps and which links to download and what to do after I download them. A step by step procedure would be so so helpful.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Flashing the stock, rooted Rom will be your best bet. Use the search function. If your unlocked with revolutionary than you have basic knowledge of what u need to do. I'm at work so I'm sure the many helpful devs might be able to help.
[EVO 4G General] Mimi25:
Ok, I will see who can be more of assistance.

Thank You for your help and time.

OP has been updated :)
[EVO 4G General] DatFiyaBoricua:
This may be a Lil off subject, but I've seen it constantly said on xda not to accept OTA updates as it will knock out Root. Maybe its just me, but since my phone has been rooted in Oct. 2010, I couldn't accept an OTA update even if I wanted too. I never get any pop ups and if I try to go through settings and update software, my phone always says Phone is up to date. No update available. Anyone else have this happening. Not that I would ever accept an OTA update. Rooted 4 life!!! Just curious if there are any other users out there like me.
[EVO 4G General] wfussner:
oops my bad wrong place

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

I like a fool I un rooted mine and wifes phones to get new OTA. What a mistake. Thanks to Captain_Throwback and Brad560 we are now rooted and running 2.3.5 build number 4.67.651
[EVO 4G General] chefdementia:
Well my plans have changed, Looks like work is encouraging me to switch to Verizon (sigh). So I plan on handing my Evo off to my wife and would like to put this update on the phone. But when I tried update, the download finished at the phone restarted, After a few seconds of it installing the update I get the blue droid with an exclamation mark over it. My Evo has had the Revolutionary and Superuser treatment. She doesn't need the root abilities or any of the other way to get into trouble. So how do I get the update installed onto the phone?
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
is your evo currently rooted? the ota update should only be installed through the stock recovery.

I was hoping for a softkey mod for bugless beast. I like the softkeys from the tranquil red ice theme. if anyone can make up a flashable zip I may or may not donate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Erickomen27:
Have You Tried To Metamorph It?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
Not the Tranquil Ice ones. I tried a different set from a post on here and it messed up my framework so I had to restore, and I'm not sure how to make up my own metamorph.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
Whenever I focus the camera, it makes a clicking sound. Is this normal?

Edit: I really don't care too much about it, and it's not something that I'd return my Prime for. Especially since it's not like I'm going to use it to make movies or anything. The clicking happens in the Stock ICS Camera app whenever I tap the screen to focus, and whenever I'm recording video. In video it's really noticeable.

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3k24yF9lkk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wpghtc:
Look closely at the camera while you focus. It is motorized. That click is the mechanical focus.

If you change the focus to infinity, that click will stop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
It is?! That's really surprising! Especially for a Tablet so thin.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Byzandroid:
Does the Vivid have a noise cancelling mic? It looks like it does just to the left of the camera. It that one or is it just a vent hole?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohamadKarbi:
Hi all,

I had a rooted device and I installed an app from market that requires no permission. However, this app needs root access. Would it mean that this app might change its permissions if it was granted the root access without I know about it?!

In other words, how much dangerous to grant root access to an app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .xxx.:
As far as I know if the app is well known or provides sufficient information about its usage,its completely safe to grant root access.

Warning: it's better you Google about the app before installing for your safety.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thatgrass:
I think it's save too, but check the reviews in the market, there can you find a lot of information
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohamadKarbi:
Thank you.

The app is droidwall. I need it to stop some other apps from having internet access (firewall). Reviews at market are positive.

Just wanted to know if a root-access app can do something I don't know about.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .xxx.:
Giving root access to Droidwall is safe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andwise:
Yes, Droidwall is safe, check it myslelf. This however is the good example of using root access.

Generally to give root access you need to trust this app completely knowing that it can use and abuse practically anything on your device. There is nothing more powerfull than the root :).

I am checking apps and roms for security issues myslef so if you wonder if anything is safe or not I would be happy to check and advise :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Heh, adding bootanim support to my kernel was something I was thinking of this weekend.

It needs initramfs hacks - check the commits for my I777 initramfs.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
I'm confused... I checked out your commits. It seems like essentially, what I did in my 2nd senario up there should have worked with a "bootanimation.zip". You pulled the switcharoo in initramfs and I pulled it at the file location. You off loaded execution to a shell script and I executed from the call in the initramfs.

Is there a difference in offloading to the shell script verses directly calling from init.rc?

Is there some reason I can't just make up an arbitrary name for a service? Like: I can't just call it "serviceA" and point at some daemon; in init.rc?

It seem like as long as you retain the service name "samsungani" you can point it anywhere you want? So like, the service names are set in stone?

Your solution is definitely more elegant, I think I would have gotten there if I could have just gotten a custom boot animation to load..

Thank you for the reply by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Thank you Meticulus for finding out how to use custom boot animations! :D

I have a Galaxy Player 4.0, so I couldn't use your CWM because it is not formatted as ext4. But here's how I did it:

1. Change /system/bin/samsungani to /system/bin/samsungani.met

2. Change /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani

3. Drag sanim.zip to /system/media and reboot.

It works perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aillez:
wow !!! Gotta try

thanks for your hard work

I really want to change my boot animation but I search everywhere it's said SAMSUNG use another method to change boot animation.

but if this work

I must be happy :D

###Edit###

after try

after reboot boot animation still stock samsung

but when I try following advice from klin1344

& yeah !!!! it's work

Thanks all yall !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
The bootanimation binary in Samsungs points to sanim.zip and not bootanimation.zip - I kanged a binary from CM7.

A CM7 GalaxyS binary should work on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
I forgot about the CWM being ext4 only I'll make one that is rfs and post it!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Yeah, adb logcat became my friend! I was looking at the platform source code and of course Samsungs changes where not in there!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aillez:
so method 3

need to install animod ??

or just do following step

just ask for anyone who will trying to do that :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
No need to install Animod for method 3. animod. does steps 1 and 2 in method 3. :)

RFS version is tested and working now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
This method also works on an international GP 5.0 with some tiny modification to the flashable zip.

The mount command in the updater-script is not compatible with YP-G70, but it works after I changed that to

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Thanks man, I new to created CWM update zips. I should be able to consolidate back down to 2 files instead of 4!

Glad it works in international as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
Thanks, worked great! No more stupid samsung bootscreen!

Impossible benchmark score :D

Wow, this Rom is quite the best when its comes to benchmarking. Just check out these scores! Even with 691Mhz it overtakes 2000 points. The first attachment is with V5 ROM, the others are with the new V9. Just check the 3D score, it's really unbelievable :o

BUT I think this is important: As I see 2D score can't go higher than 439, because the max FPS is 90 in Alfs v7 Kernel, so Antutu fails to show real scores there (I think it should be solved by the Antutu developer by putting far more entitys to the 2D "skating droids" benchmark screen to make the CPU work more, and thus lower the FPS that it can squeeze out of itself, so it can measure faster CPUs too)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] worcsii:
@eldin007 : It's OK. Sorry, but 90MB is not 86MB. Rabidshare's bad...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Asycid:
This is Why I said that you have to check the 3D scores, and the third pic is with 600Mhz. I gave 4 screens to measure the score differences between them. BTW I use a class6 memory card, but its score is really low for a class6, so I think it's not so important. BTW my dream was to have a score above 2000 with CPU overclock 6xx values. This is now not a dream, the tweaks that has made in this rom by xperiafan made this possible. So I just want to thank him his work.

if it shows couple of KM away its not gps fault... coz if gps is working it cant screw up the co-ordinates as its connected to several (upto 10) satellites.. its the app that is not calibrated! (i think!)
