Download LGNPST from here http://tazr.net/lgrevo/ along with the vs910.dll file and the lg revo AIO and the zv7 gingerbread. Then use LGNPST to bring you back to zv7 then use the AIO to root then if you want to re-update the phone make a local.prop file in data with "ro.kernel.qemu=1" in it then do the OTA update then download the AIO ZV8 and use Option 2 then you'll have CWM and then you can flash the new Broken Out 1.1 rom
[LG Revolution] axel417:
This thread ought to help with that a little bit. It has specific directions for flashing back to zv7 or earlier. You might need to do some digging in the replies if you use win7 64bit on your desktop. There are a few issues with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SprigganMaster:
Hello everyone,

I'm currently with Videotron and I'm using a HTC Panache (CM7).

I bought the Panache August 2011 thinking it was the last high end phone by HTC (was what Videotron was saying...).

But now, most of us knows we will not get ICS because the HTC Panache is nothing more than the old MyTouch 4G available in the US since 2010. :mad:

My ideas was to buy a GNex, use my current videotron SIM card and keep my Panache to test ROM, dev, etc...

I tried to get one on amazon.com but they are not shipping the Gnex to Canada.

I could probably buy one from Videotron but I want to be sure :

1- I will get Google update quickly (forget Videotron to get update...)

2- Easy to root (the Panache was a challenge to root)

Any experience with Videotron GNex ?

Is there any place in Canada I could get a GNex unclock at a fair price (Videotron == 599,95) ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The update isn't dependent on the carrier you're on. Its dependent on the version of software it has. 99% chance it won't have a stock Google (yakju) build. You can flash it to yakju if getting those updates quickly matters to you. If you don't, you'll get them a few weeks slower.

Its a Nexus, of course its easy to root.

Plenty of places selling for about the same price or possibly a touch cheaper. Most importers are selling it in the $550USD range. Other retailers and "daily deals" sites are selling it for around $450USD depending on the day you find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SprigganMaster:
Thanks martonikaj.

Any suggestions for a trusted reseller? I usually do business with website like ncix but they don't sell the gnex without a carrier contract...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Could look at negrielectronics (got mine there) or expansys.

Negri just cut the price of theirs to like $550. Get the "CAN" version. Its cheaper but comes with non-yakju firmware. You can just wipe it and put yakju on it.

First thread in xda so I apologise if I'm asking in the wrong way. I'll keep it short though :p

I'm running LC's ICS 7.0 . I themed this and flashed the 'Themed HTC keyboard for ICS'. All was working well. Now I have flashed this theme and whenever I try to input text I am prompted with voice input and ONLY voice input.

Now under settings i have only 'Google voice typing' to select from nder keyboard & input methods (also set as default).

Please, how do i get ANY keyboard back. I can't type at all.

There is some flipfonts floating around that will let you install an apk and select it in the font chooser

A quick search turned up this one right away. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18948909&postcount=708

Just search flipfont roboto and Im sure you'll find more if there's issues with that one.

Ultimately you can grab the font from a ics rom from system/fonts and push them to your phone if you're looking for something more permanent
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TorelliB:
Well i see the roboto.ttf file, i dropped the .ttf file into the system/fonts and nothing shows up when i go to select it in display/fonts on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
If you drop the font in system/fonts then it's not going to show up.

If you want to use it in system/fonts you're going to need the fonts from ICS, the clock, regular and bold fonts. They cannot be named roboto.ttf as they need to write over the current fonts.

Alternately you can install a flip font apk, then you will be able to select it from the font chooser.
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
As you all know by now, today HTC and Sprint announced the release date for the HTC EVO 4G LTE.

I am excited as anyone about this phone. However, there is one area that I am VERY disapointed about: video recording quality.

In my opinion, HTC has so far been un-able to make a cell phone that can record good quality HD video. It's even more puzzling since apparently both HTC and Sprint were really promoting the camera on the phone at the press event today.

I have no issue with the quality of the still photos - my original EVO takes pretty good stills.

I saw a sample of video shot with the European version of One X, and it suffers from the same issue as my EVO - jerky video!

Shot in 1080p outdoors, at the highest quality setting, the video looks as if it were shot at around 20fps rather than 30fps. Pans and objects moving across the screen were jerky.

My EVO has always had this issue, which has prevented me from shooting much video with it. The camera is great, but I want to be able to carry a camcorder with me always. My mom's two year old Epic Galaxy S has been able to shoot smooth HD video from day one, and I've always envied it.

There is no video I can shoot with my EVO that I would want to burn to DVD or shoot important events with, like birthdays, holidays, etc.

Some bigwig from HTC was quoted comparing the One X's camera with that of the iPhone 4S. But I know the 4S shoots smooth HD video as well.

I'll probably at least go into Sprint and check it out myself, but I don't expect to have different results then that fromthe reviewer.

Have any of you (who can review video quality with a critical eye) noticed what I'm talking about?

I don't understand why HTC can't get video recording right! :mad:
[EVO 4G General] htc-ppc:
Didn't notice the recording problem on my EVO, but could be the ROM I'm using. Also on the new One X, the videos I've seen look amazing. Don't know which one you saw, but I thought it looked great. Perhaps issues uploading or the video stabilization was turned on in the video you saw? It's not going to be like a 60 fps camcorder, but if that's what you are expecting out of a tiny phone camera, your expectations may be too high.

What other phone has better video? Looks the same as iphone 4S video and no one complains about that. A small sensor has limitations and it isn't going to get better when you post it to youtube and they compress it. No phone is going to make quality DVDs for your events. What's wrong with getting a camcorder with a sensor twice the size or a triple sensor if you have the funds? Seems they are getting video recording done just as well as any other phone to me. These are phones.
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
Well, maybe I'm a bit more critical than most. I work in video and perhaps my eye is more sensitive to the various aspects of video.

I'm not talking about sharpness, contrast, color saturation, etc.

As I mentioned, both the iPhone 4/4S and Samsung's Galaxy line of phones do not have this issue.

Try this: film 20 seconds of either relatively close fast moving objects like car traffic, or else pan in a circle at a somewhat faster than pleasing speed.

If you look closely, you will see very slight jumping in the video. It's not going to jump out at you (excuse the pun).

It's not a compression issue, that would result in a more blurry or pixelated image.

I realize we're talking cell phones. But both Apple and Samsung do not have this issue. I REALLY want to love the EVO LTE, I'm eligible for an upgrade in June!
[EVO 4G General] bumsock:
Video recording on my evo was horrible as well ...like unusable horrible ..super choppy and laggy all the time. My brothers was exactly the same. My phone was rooted flashed multiple roms, video was always choppy... brothers phone never rooted...video was always choppy :(
[EVO 4G General] htc-ppc:
No I gotcha, I'm critical as well. That's why I wouldn't use ANY phone for capturing video for an important event. A camcorder is the only thing that will do.

However the samples I've seen look every bit as good as the iphone 4s or samsung videos. Of course the One X does seem more geared towards photos and have to say it definitely beats the others there. Also if you pause the One X videos you can still clearly see everything and even grab a frame as a picture. The Samsung videos get blurry so I wouldn't try it with the Nexus. Can't say I notice any change in fluidity from iphone 4S videos to One X videos, but again I don't know which video you are talking about. If there is any difference it is slight. All phones have this issue as they are just not going to match the smoothness of a quality camcorder and definitely not professional camcorders. Even then I notice the difference with motion interpolation on high refresh 120 hz and 240 hz TV's so I know what you are saying.

Perhaps best to withhold judgment about video on phone that isn't out yet. Once it's on youtube it just isn't going to look as good.

EDIT: I did find a One X video that looked horrible, it was a close up and the exposure was constantly changing, but did notice jumpiness when panning. Can't tell if it was due to being uploaded on youtube, but if it did happen on the phone it looks like it is having trouble with quickly writing to memory. It doesn't do it constantly so that may be the issue. When you have trouble with your EVO 4G are you directly shooting video to the SD Card? That may be your problem. The lag causes a frame to be skipped here or there. A larger buffer would correct this issue (well until it fills) or higher memory bandwidth. This also happens when uploading videos or converting the file format. Perhaps a result of poor conversion from RAW to 3gp. Still I wouldn't worry about it as there is a way to go until June and the hardware version may change. If there is an issue I'm sure they are aware of it.
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
Well, yes. the EVO has so little internal storage, and video file sizes are large compared to other file types.

But then, my mom's Samsung also wrote directly to the SD card, and it's still very smooth.

I will try to find that example I was speaking about and post a link. It was shot outdoors in daylight, near a flower stand if I remember correctly.

And for sure I will definitely check it out myself before writing the phone off.

As far as the phone not having the same quality as a "real" camcorder, sure. but you know the old saying, "The best camera is the one you have with you". My phone is ALWAYS with me. And I do think the quality is getting to the point where I can shoot casual everyday stuff that I may want to archive for the future, even edit.
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
Here is a link to the sample I was referring to.

This is from the HTC One X, which I believe has the same camera as todays announced EVO LTE. Pay particular attention to the panning at about the 1:10 mark.

And this phone has no SD card, so it was recorded to the internal memory.

Also, while you may wish to blame YouTube, this is how video recorded on my two year old EVO looks.

http://youtu.be/xOv4tjB7HMQ
[EVO 4G General] htc-ppc:
Better than the one I found, but SD Card or not that is still the issue. I know that the version of the One X used for this does not have an SD Card. The Sprint one will. Either way, uploading it to youtube can cause this problem as well. And if you record to your SD Card on your 2 year old EVO and use a slow card you will see this as well. That may be your issue though it isn't for the One X. If it's internal then another phone might be your best option.

These are frames that get skipped either due to trouble encoding, small buffer, or memory speed problems. The iphones never seem to have this issue like Androids do (probably due to all the stuff running in the background and iOS's control over apps). Can tell when it happens in the video and it starts skipping. It's the same as when you are video conferencing and frames get dropped due to bandwidth. This isn't normal and guessing they would be on that. As far as the rest, still looks as jagged as any other phone with motion. If you use post processing it can help.

Here's on I saw that looked about as decent as other phone videos

One X 1080p sample

with cars going by like you mentioned. Have to say it looks clear when you pause on passing cars. Fast pans aren't going to impress on any phone (or many camcorders in my experience) and I don't know what else to say about it. Hopefully they fix what is bothering you and if not I guess you gotta go with another phone.
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
OK, you got me motivated to check out several youtube videos. I will give you the YouTube effect. Even though I have seen Galaxy and iPhone 4S clips Played back on the phones without the jumping, the YouTube samples did exhibit the issue.

While I wait for the EVO LTE to arrive at Sprint, I will change the video recording folder on my EVO and see if that makes any difference. I will also test the new EVO and cross my fingers. Everything else looks great and I'm hoping the video recording will pass my stringent tests!!!
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
So I checked, and I can not find any setting on my EVO to have the camera record video files directly to internal storage. In fact, there is no setting at all as far as location of recorded video and photos. Apparently the EVO is designed to record directly to the SD card and there is no other option.

However, in thinking about this studdering or "jumping" issue, it doesn't make sense that it would be related to the SD card anyway.

The phone would buffer recorded video before it writes it to the card. If the buffer ran out, perhaps video would jump or skip, but it would be at random times. The issue I'm talking about happens consistently during the video, like I said, it looks like video shot at about 20 fps.

Besides, I've used the same SD card in my mom's Samsung Galaxy, and video is very smooth.

So it's not the SD cards fault.
[EVO 4G General] theoner1:
OP I'm with you. Camcorder on my Evo or better yet HTC phone if pure crap. Low light shooting is the worst I've seen on a phone. My Xoom, wife's ipad and daughter's Epic all take great low light and non jerky videos. People need to compare on hand with different devices before saying the Evo is okay, because it's not. That's my only peeve with htc phone and my next phone I'm going to make sure the video department is almost as good as the iphone 4s if not better, because iphone 4s take stunning video especailly low light.
[EVO 4G General] ragdoll1974:

[HTC One X] MikeC84:
So after the, disappointing, EVO 4G LTE announcement today, I decided to not only give sprint a call but hit them up on chat at the same time.

I made sure it was clear to them that I would leave sprint if they didn't carry the original HTC One x and NOT just the EVO 4G LTE simply because of the design..

The original HTC One X is by far the nicest phone I have ever seen and it would be a deal breaker if Sprint only carried the EVO 4G LTE.

If more and more people call and or chat Sprint and let them know they should carry the HTC One X or you will switch carriers for it (lying or not) maybe they will consider carrying both the EVO 4G LTE AND the Original HTC One X.

Please people lets get the Original One X to Sprint!!
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
That's not gonna happen dude sorry. I think sprint is really happy with the Evo 4G LTE.
[HTC One X] Dark lord me:
So you don't want a larger battery, micro sd card and dedicated camera button on your phone which will probably go in a case ?
[HTC One X] MikeC84:
I normally get a case when I get a new phone but have had the Epic Touch since release without a case and still looks new...

Yea I could care less for larger batter, micro sd, or the camera button. The One X looks soooo much nicer then the EVO LTE..
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Though I understand a bit where your coming from. How can you not care much about the bigger battery etc???

I thought it was going to be bigger honestly, around 2500mah but 2000mah is still good for a stock phone. No joy in a phone that won't last the day through heavy usage :rolleyes:

SD card doesn't matter as much only because the thing already has 32GB and dropbox storage (I think).

Camera button is welcome, especially when the thing has a beast of a camera and can take them at crazy speeds, 4FPS on that thing is crazy.

The only design choice I think was a smart one, was reducing how much the camera protruded. Otherwise, yea it's uglier haha
[HTC One X] samuelong87:
what?! i thought the Evo 4G LTE is like the more perfect balanced One X! Saw the specs and am envious.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Well, he's mainly making the choice because of the design, which I agree is kinda ugly compared to the original One X.

But yea, there's no way they're carrying both phones. Not a chance no matter how many people call.
[HTC One X] ichiban11:
honestly, i like the original design as well. i was pretty bummed out when sprint changed the original design.

i currently have the galaxy s2 and i was quite disappointed when sprint decided to release a 4.5" screen rather than the original 4.3.

why do carriers do this? if the phones had the original design, it would be much easier to look for accessories such as screen protectors, cases, and sleeves.

i remember when i first got my phone, i had to wait for a decent case to be readily available since the case manufacturers only carried the european/asian version of the phone. i wish the phones can be kept consistent with the original designs.
[HTC One X] norazi:
evo is better in many respects... cant believe people are willing to sacrifice functionality for style.. sounds like an iphone user
[HTC One X] falconeight:
If I call them it will be to give them an atta boy. I think that phone is outstanding.
[HTC One X] Wado1:
I actually thought the EVO was a beauty. Way better in design and function than the One X, but thats just me.
[HTC One X] dhoshman:
Well I wouldn't get to bent out of shape because normally with sprint flagship phones a white one is released a little down the road. Which if I had to guess would look more similar to the one x. But I don't think the E4gL looks that horrible that I would wait for the white one. I like it actually and throw in the changes and I think its a winner. Now if only it was so easy to be able to wait it out for this or SGS3...choices.
[HTC One X] SilverZero:
...Wow. You're definitely in the minority with those priorities (maybe not the camera button, which I'm not convinced is even that based on the press conference). But good news! You can buy an unlocked One X and give Sprint another call, maybe they'll activate it for you (since you're already on their "nice" list, I'm guessing).

I agree with the sentiment that this thing will be in a case anyway, and I'm not wearing my phone around my neck so others will see it and get jealous or something. What am I, an iPhone user? :)

Looked urgent huh? That's because it is. I see that most people that have their phones bricked is from using ROM manager to install a rom that they downloaded onto their phone.

LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TELL YOU....

Do not use ROM manager to install a custom ROM that is not listed in the application.

I too have bricked my phone this way and I never made a back up. The quickest solution is to actually re-root your phone again by putting it back into download mode.

Look in the forums for instructions. I'm sure others can explain it better than me.

Only use ROM Manager to install clockwork mod recovery. :)

From there, do it the manual way. It may be more labor, but it is better than bricking your phone.

There are instructions to do that too. If you can't find it just throw me a PM.
