It helps to know the full picture.

Android detractors, mainly Apple fanbois, love to point to one half of the story. But there are more pieces to the puzzle. Android was in development years before 2007. The main mobile OS pre 2007 were Palm/webOS, Windows mobile, Blackberry, and Symbian. Now you tie this into the 2, yes two, prototypes Google had. 2 different styles established because Google, surprise surprise, was taking a varied approach. Not locking in just one style an created a OS influenced by that and influenced by previously established OS models.

Now the iPhone locked in the full touch screen fat finger interface as its main focus. Lots of media hype and showmanship. People kinda forgot about what happened before, much like other MP3 players before the iPod. You can see Palm handsprings influence in early iOS, and likely bits from windows mobile (but this last part is more speculation on my part.) Even though iOS has more OsX influence, there are pre 2007 mobile OS influencing it. Which should come as no surprise but a similar influence base does result in similarities in opposing products.

Even I agree there, see my other post covering the 2 google android prototypes.

I should have clarified I was paraphrasing the famous thermonuclear quotation. I thought it would be more apparent. :o

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoSport:
Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.

I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebbbrain:
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoSport:
Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoSport:
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebbbrain:
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.

Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.

Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
What recovery are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoSport:
Amon_RA's RA-supersonic-v2.3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jangzo:
Probably a bad download.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebbbrain:
Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!

So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoSport:
I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!

Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....

Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoSport:
Another weird thing about this ROM....

If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebbbrain:
When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mastermind1234321:
I am a bit skeptical to this. While we all love to pay as little as possible for our tablets, the reality is that at 130, either the device will not have the specs we want or there profit margins will be too low (and thus they won't sell it). As much as i hate to say it, i like that asus is making more expensive tablets. It means there tablets will have higher quality material so we can do more awesome things and the tablets will last longer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brianbgrp:
Screw the price. I, like the nexus part lol. That means easily unlocked boot loader and unmolested Android starting point.

Edit that's also 130 UK. Closer to the kindle fire price I'm American.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Xparent Red Tapatalk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
based on the price point they are trying to hit, I'm going to guess that the new Nexus tablet will be a 7 or 8" device. Asus isn't stupid enough to release yet another 10.1" device at a lower price than the just announced TF300.

I mean, maybe they will, but it doesn't make any real sense to do so. To have TF101, TF201, TF300, TF700 and Nexus tablet all in a 10.1" form factor, all with prices in different ranges when the specs are too similar... it just doesn't seem likely.

To hit the $200 price point and compete with the likes of Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet, I'm betting on a smaller device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brianbgrp:
Article said a 7" tablet. Prolly wifi only would be my guess. Which makes 200 just about right

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Xparent Red Tapatalk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
They're doing this to compete with Amazon, of course. The Kindle Fire sales might add Android devices to the market, but those devices will direct people toward Amazon marketing, not Google marketing. So.. Google probably wants Asus to make a cheap tablet that directs people back to Google markets and ads.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ill1:
I love my transformer but I sure hope Asus isn't chosen make this tablet. They haven't successfully released a tablet since the first transformer. Don't get me wrong I think they make good products, but a lot would be riding on a Nexus branded tab. Android tablets lost momentum with Honeycomb and the Xoom launch. If Asus launches another tab the way they did the Prime with the Nexus name on it, Android tabs might never gain significant market share. I'm not sure who could do it but I don't think Asus is ready.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
Are there any ICS CDMA ROMs or ROM/Kernel combos that aren't having the data bug? (I know about the toggling airplane mode on/off several times workaround) I was running the CM9 alpha using stock kernel and I missed a few important phone calls one evening about a month ago. I haven't really looked around since. (Functional camera is a non-issue since my camera is busted.)
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Miui V4 data was working right out of the gate and I don't remember having too many issues with signal/data with that ROM.

I'm on good 'ol CM7 for now for stability and battery life.

EDIT: the stock kernel works fine, or you can use Taimat's newest one for the EVO 3D CDMA (do a quick Google search). I was running AnthraX as well at one point.
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
I have been using toastcfh's new CM9 build for a couple of hours now, and I haven't seen any dropouts of 3G. I would get them all the time in other builds. Of course only time will tell, but it looks good so far. I also agree with G.Newton, MIUIv4 has not had the 3G problem that I am aware of, and I ran that for a few weeks.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
Thanks guys. I guess I'll check into MIUI 4. What's Toast's newest CM9 build?
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
I flashed MIUI v4, rebooted once and data was gone. Here's to Nandroid... I guess I'll just wait for the Nexus to launch.

The last time I ran CM9 was beginning of February. I may give the most recent a go. I'm starting to get a little frustrated, as I'm sure we all are.
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Frustrated with what?
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
The fact that the Sensation, despite being "less of a phone" than ours, is getting more love from HTC, HTC is being doucheboxes about releasing updates or source for the updates we already have, Chad got trolled almost completely out of existance, etc. I was developmentally spoiled because I came from the OG EVO and it just seems like HTC is taking a piss on the owners of the 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Are you a dev? I think those are the only people that have the right to get frustrated. We are given all roms, mods, tools, kernels, etc for FREE. If HTC is slow to release source so what, are you going to dev on the source? Sounds like you're frustrated because a new ROM isn't put out every few days. With what we have, our devs have accomplished A LOT. If you bought the 3D (or any phone) for dev support.. HA. You should buy a phone if you like it just the way it is, and any development on it is just icing on the cake. HTC will release source/update in due time. In the meantime, patience. I'm sorry that you were spoiled but please don't complain about **** we already know.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
Wow. You done? You made plenty of assumptions there without asking any questions or seeking more information and then blasted me for being frustrated at a phone while also insinuating that I am ungrateful toward developers. I don't expect anything from the developers, given they're clearly working with no support from HTC, and I know they give away their ROMs/mods/kernels/etc while asking for nothing in return. I do expect, however, to not be belittled by somebody for expressing a feeling. Thanks for your insight bro.
[HTC EVO 3D] daprospecta:
People are forgetting what message boards are for. It's for voicing opinions, providing information, heck anything. Who isn't frustrated with HTC right now? That's one reason why these forums exist so we can vent our frustrations with HTC and see what we can do to put pressure on them. I get so tired of people saying "keep it to yourself" because if that was the case, this site's traffic would greatly reduce and trust me, I know xda doesn't want that. Now I do agree that complaining about devs shouldn't be done period.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
Now, back to the topic at hand. I can confirm that the latest toashcfh build of CM9 with the stock kernel does not appear to have the data bug I initially asked about.
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Lot of good things said about that build. Sorry man, but you said the keywords "developmentally spoiled" and proceeded with a frustrated comparison to the Evo 3G. That sounds like complaining, but no need for me to have gone there with ya brah. Yes, we, especially the devs are all frustrated.

We as the consumer want the update free and fast, while HTC needs to make money therefore they like it slow. A good business relationship is a middle ground between HTC and the end-consumer.

If data and signal cuts out ever, and toggling doesn't work, *#*#4636#*#* > Phone info > change radio and you should have signal. Then toggling brings back data.

Then I remembered that the calendar had been syncing just fine until I got the 1.4.1 update. So today I back tracked to version 1.4.0 and now the calendar works just fine....syncs both ways--to and from. All you have to do is use Indirect's sdcard method to revert back to 1.4.0 and you are all set.
