:confused:There are loads of differences. The developers who create them, will WRITE about them ROMs in the forums here, describing them and the process required to install them.

To get that information, you have to READ what the devs WROTE.

ROMs are very diverse, and can be different in EVERY way you can imagine, and more.
[HD2 General] Matteo-M:
Thank You !!
[HD2 General] 123Me:
you have to remember that SD card ables dual boot, meaning you can run Windows and Android on one phone. thats great!

but if you choose a NAND, it will give you a more stable and faster ROM on your phone. NAND is more permanent though, so you decide which is best for you.

do you need dual boot, or not? thats the question..

Dropbox recently released an open beta that automatically gives you an additional 500mb (on top of the 2gb) by installing the Beta and then for every 500mb you upload via "automatic photo upload" you get another 500mb of storage. up to 5GB in all.

Fyi: the easiest way to get that extra storage is to upload existing photos/videos and then to copy a large video to your DCIM folder on the sdcard. Let dropbox upload the file and then delete it from dropbox as well as DCIM. Then start over. It's taken awhile but I'm already up to 5.5gb of total storage! One the best features in my opinion is there is not a file size limit so you can upload just about any file. As long as it's not bigger than your total limit of course.

Is it possible to display your own cwll phone # on the phone screen??
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
When you say phone screen what do you mean? The incall screen? Your contacts?

*just because nobody understands you, doesn't make you an artist..
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
minimalist text app lets u display anything you want to type and display
[HTC Inspire 4G] ex-egll:
Ideally somewhere on the dialpad screen. I have 2 or 3 SIM cards for various parts of the world and can never remember the numbers :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
So you can't remember your own 3 numbers? :rolleyes:

Create a contact with your 3 numbers and save it as a contact. Use the contact in your People Favorites widget on your homescreen.

Enter your 3 numbers in your Note app and have it displayed on your homescreen in your My Notebook widget.

If you don't need them on your homescreen then enter the 3 numbers in your Profile Contact Card in your contacts. It sits at the top of your contacts in People. This is where you should enter those numbers anyways.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ex-egll:
Well I never phone myself so I never need to memerise the numbers :(

Your suggestion had crossed my mind, but the last phone I had displayed the number on the dial pad screen which I found very useful. My memory cells are closing in on 60 years of service, and aren't as good as they used to be.

[Nook Touch General] Wiltuz:
How often do you charge your rooted nook simple touch? after i rooted mine after reading on it for about 6 hours for 2 days, my battery dropped to about 78%. Is this normal or my battery draining too fast? also when nook goes to sleep mode it doesnt drain battery right?
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
It kinda depends on if I'm using it a lot during school. If I have the WiFi enabled and I'm taking notes with a lot of screen refreshes, then it ends up at about 50-70% battery at the end of the day, at which point I either charge it that night or the next. Other times when I don't use it for much other than writing down homework, it doesn't go down too much. I haven't charged mine for a few days and it's at 40% right now.
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
I don't charge mine all that often depends on just what I'm doing with it. If it's got wifi on it's a couple of days, if I'm just reading or not using it it's a lot longer. I intend to eventually do a battery test of not using it, using it without wifi, and using with wifi, but it could be months before it gets finished (or started) since I don't have multiple nooks. lol
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
I've only done testing for 10 hour stints, but here's what I've noticed:

With wifi off and the unit mostly sleeping, it uses about 0.14% battery per hour.

With wifi on and the unit mostly sleeping, it uses about 0.9% battery per hour.

With the wifi on and using the unit furiously, it uses about 8% battery per hour.

I haven't had the unit long enough to develop any "typical" daily patterns yet. I did set up Tasker to only turn on wifi when select apps are run, and shut it back off when they close. This seems to give me the best of both worlds.

So to answer the question, I charge it when it gets low (< 30%). How long that takes varies based on usage.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
It seems you all are lucky. I am using my nook the same way as bobstro, and I have had my nook for 3 days. I charged it completely. After reading for 4 hours max, and playing with android for 1 hour, I am at 30 - 40%. What is going on?
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
Make sure your wifi isn't needlessly running say when you're reading.
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
A lot depends on how many screen refreshes you're doing, and network/wifi usage. If you're rebooting a lot, and raiding the Market, it will go more quickly.

Try just letting it sit unmolested for a bit and see if it levels out. With wifi off, mine is barely sipping power when in standby.

You also could be seeing bogus calibration. It's not dead until it's dead, regardless of what the gauge says. I've had Android devices blasting audio for 3 hours when the gauge read 1%. I'd give it a few more days and charge cycles before worrying too much. I think many of us panic when our battery doesn't last long the first few days, forgetting that we're playing with it constantly.

Of course, if you're still seeing poor battery life after a few days, definitely take it in for an exchange!
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Ok. I charged it to 100% last night and then turned it off when it completed. This morning, I turned it on, and it has been on for a total of 4 hours. 2 of these hours were in standby, a half was reading, and the rest were taking notes and chatting with friends. Two hours were spent with the wifi on and two were spent with the wifi off. It is at 90% now. I think the part about misreading the level is what happened to me.

On a related note, anyone know of a good battery monitor widget for ADW?
[Nook Touch General] Wiltuz:
I use Battery solo widget. Its very good and get the job done
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
When I'm in compulsive battery tracking mode, I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro ($) for the graphing features. It allows me to go back and compare a week's worth of battery performance data. I also get a good feeling when I glance at it and battery availability has been flat for an extended period.

There's a free version, but I don't recall how useful it was.

Once I'm comfortable with things, I plan on removing it and any other monitoring tools, as they do consume some battery themselves.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Thanks. Will have to check that out.

MD5sum: 1405fd7b80048fb7d733dc5d918bf879

Improvements:

Faster 3G speeds

Better battery life

WAY more responsive touchscreen

Phone in general feels more responsive

Better cellular reception

WARNING!: Please make sure your battery is charged before flashing!

Cellular Radio 1.08.01.0111, new touchscreen firmware. Yes, it will bypass 1 of 3 on TP, this is normal.

Not sure why but WiMAX radio 27243 (March 2011 for Evo 4G NOT SHIFT) is included in this zip from HTC.

Either way drop the PG06IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard, hold volume down and press the power button and release while holding down the volume down button.

A white screen will come up asking you if you want to update. If it doesn't ask, choose bootloader. Say yes and it will update your phone. This has been tested on multiple phones and works.

Here is a video on how to do it:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
It's in the zip.

It's for the Evo.

I don't know why HTC included it.

Run wimax_mtd from terminal emulator to check your wimax version.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
I just gotta say otaking71 is the man! First day ota is out and we already have updates for flashing :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
I said I did check in terminal and I'm telling u it didn't update. It flashed just fine in boot.. tp2 flashed 1 and 3 bypassed, wimax and radios updated. But when I checked wimax... nothing. I can give a screenie if u want proof?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
wimax is an error...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
You need root to run this command, again, the wimax radio included was for Evo. Ask HTC.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
No... By the screenshot and the endless logcat errors, there is an issue with the wimax radio in the zip. I'm not blaming anyone, but you might wanna pull the link... I'm actually thankful that I didn't lose my wimax keys...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
I was looking at the normal cellular radio zip and the wimax zips from the other thread for the older radio's and they install differently. Maybe if we seperate the two radio's into two zip's and use the same method as those ones the wimax radio will update? Just a thought and was wondering why there's two radio's in one zip when on the other thread there's two PG06IMG.zip's.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] halrulez:
Ok so here is a link to the newest Wimax from my dropbox.

http://db.tt/JZwV6UPt
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] halrulez:
I ran this new radio and then renamed it to what ever it was named plus nee radio + oldwimax then rename this file to the strait file so I took out Wimax then did the restart with the volume down and power thing. Then after it booted named it the pg file +newWimax. Everything is running fine. If you need further instruction message me. I have 3 kids sooooo thing take a little longer in my world.. This is a good fix till someone makes a PG file with the newest radio and Wimax together.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Disregard post, please see wiki.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gigermunit:
Is everyone getting borked 4g from the radio update? or should I just flash it and see and if it does update with other 4g radio?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] adamsmiley:
any improvment

Just a question but did anyone see any changes good or bad after updating? What is the benefit of updating?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
i havent noticed anything note worthy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
The touchscreen is way more responsive.

No it does not break wimax.

Also the phone feels faster. Stock ROM boots faster than any other rom I've seen when holding volume down and power.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turkbot:
Yeah the screen is def way more responsive but that's bout the only thing
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Battery life seems better and agreed TS is more responsive.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
Yeah, the wimax doesn't break -it doesn't do anything to the wimax, like sparksco said- unsure about touchscreen... never really had much attention to it... but just curious cuz I don't know... when I flash TP1 and TP3 bypassed.. is that normal? Why is that?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Well looks like i know what i'm doing today lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turkbot:
Yeah I noticed a big battery improvement
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
It's normal. There are firmwares for 3 different touch screens. Probably one of them is EVO. Also there are different hardware revisions of the shift. Seems that they all use the 2nd firmware.

So yes it's normal.

Only things updated I'm seeing are cellular radio and touch screen.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
thanks, always willing to learn why things happen
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gigermunit:
Mine used the third and it's a revision 5.

Also insane batter improvement, pushing 8 hours with 3g always on and little to no signal and I just hit 65%
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
I also noticed improved 3G speeds. I hit almost 2Mbps in Mountain View, CA on stock sense, indoors.

I also hit 11Mbps on WiMAX in the same place, indoors.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gigermunit:
12 hours no charge, just hit 46%

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] rhodiggah:
Download sparksco's zip, move the zip on the root of your SD card. Shut down phone, hold the "down"volume button and press power button. It should take you to the bootloader (fastboot) and it will ask you to updateand let it do its thing...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] obe1kobe:
I'm starting to see the trend of the same questions, I think vicodan already pointed out tka read the op... I'm not being rude but every thread this site has repeated.questions just asked a different way read like the first 3 pages and most questions al already answered... Again not being a **** or rude but really...

Also rhodigga I did mention that and hacklana said tried but didn't work dunno worked fine for me and a few.others dunno
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Under about phone your baseband version is the radio version. It should read this. If it does everything went through fine.

About the confusion any of the zips on OP and the one I posted should work fine. I didn't like the fact that htc was flashing the same radio over itself and didn't really see the point of having it in the zip so that's the the only reason I removed it. There was also a lot of confusion about the wimax radio and why it wasn't updating. No biggie. To the OP if you want to add the zip to the first post feel free, maybe some others would find it usefull.

Also the easy way to check md5 is the same as the other radio thread made simple in terminal emulator. Make sure PG06IMG.zip is on the root of sdcard first.

$ su

# md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Hammerfest:
Right, so I was looking around, using the site search feature (which hates me btw...)

So the latest Cell radio is 1.08.01.0111, whats the latest WiMax radio? I see talk of xxx40 and xxx43? I checked my Shift and mines xxx40.

I could be mistaken however as I was getting the impression that this had stuff for the regular Evo 4G, not just the Evo Shift 4G...

I wish someone had write access to the Wiki to update this kinda information :P

Ive had 2 issues since flashing the zip in the OP.

First, my wimax speeds went to hell. It said succeeded on wimax, but the phone still showed 27240. So I went and reflashed the 27240 zip that i had saved on my computer. Now my speeds are back to normal.

Second issue. My power button is super sensitive now. If i do any more then a feather tap. Its as if I held it down and the screen to shutdown the phone pops up.

Im using shiftdeck, and tried restoring a nandroid just to make sure it was nothing with that.

Does anyone have the original tp2 firmware???

My wifi will lose the network for a minute or so. The wifi it self stays on but almost like it is looking for a better network or something. I was streaming music and it works for about 5 mins then lose the network goes to 3G and then comes right back to wifi. Has anyone else see this and is there a fix for it?
