Someone from the One X thread, where toast laid out the rant I quoted, already submitted said rant to HTC Facebook page.

Another problem with S-on is you can't flash radios. And from what I've seen in the rezound forum, once you update your main version (or firmware), like 4.54 to 4.67 for the Evo, you can't go back. So I believe it you wanted d to test an ICS ROM, and it was buggy, you couldn't go back to GB (using Evo current situation for reference).

As for kernel, I'm not sure how that is affected. As for recovery, I've changed recovery on my Evo using terminal emulator, meaning from within system (android). That can't be done in the current state of development, hence the need for fastboot and to do everything from a computer. I'm not fond of that.

The best way to see the current state of affairs is to do some serious browsing in the one x and rezound forums to see what users are up against.

Glad to hear you're studying up imheroldman. I need to, too. Hell, idont even know how to use cmd prompt or fastboot or adb. Never had to with Evo. Lotta people gonna have to study up, it seems.

Unless HTC gets their **** together. **cough cough cold day in hell**

I tweeted it, not like any one follows me but ...
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
With HTC claiming boot and USB are locked out because of "security reasons" is their way of saying "screw you, we will only give you a worthless partial unlock and still void your warranty for using it" and the htcdev.com method flags the device so they know you used it so your warranty can't be "reinstated" by relocking your phone like when they exploit and turn s-off then returning s-on so they don't know reinstates your warranty as far as sprint or HTC are concerned. This is the reason HTC locks the bootloader and requires a tool to "unlock" it. Samsung doesn't lock the bootloader at all, they implemented what is called a custom binary flash counter which triggers a number increase when ever you flash a custom kernel that has been modified. And they put the recovery partition in the kernel so it triggers when you install a recovery. However there are ways to reset the flash counter so they can't tell you've modded your phone. I'm not a brand loyal person, I will go with whoever has the device I want. Which is why for now I'm using Samsung. The build quality while made of a plastic is solid, so solid in fact I spilled some water on my phone on accident and it didn't even seep under the battery cover, my evo was laying right next to it and it had water all inside the cover and enough to trigger the water marks. They have really improved their build quality since my intercept which left alot to be desired but it was also a very cheap budget smartphone to begin with. The epic touch and note are very well built pieces of technology they are solid, the joins are smooth where the pieces are attached or the battery cover meets the housing, and still extremely light weight. Even with my snap on hard shell on my et4g its so light I can't tell its in my pocket alot of times I always double check to make sure it didn't slip out.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Thank you guys for your participation, I have 115 views on the blog entry just today!

I want to believe in HTC, that they will listen and lighten the lock down. We just need to speak up. This is a good start and yes hitting their pages and voicing our opinions as consumers will get their attention!
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The bad part is them claiming they did it for security reasons, it will be hard to get them to unlock something they are claiming they are doing for security. If we can get them to unlock it, its gonna take a lot of convincing. A better option would be to ask for detailed instructions on how to flash firmware to the device with their setup. Obviously they have to flash firmware via OTAs so if they would outline the ROA for the OTA firmware install we could use that to flash our customs
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
That is the second option that toastcfh laid out. Apparently that is what the G1 had, full documentation on how to flash firmware. This might be the ultimate option, seeing as they want things to be locked but give those who just want an unlock that ability and for those wanting to go further the opportunity and the tools to do so.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Hahahaha.

Just saw the same thing CM9 on One X

Just saw this in the Evo 3d forum. So yeah, that's encouraging. But, it doesn't have camera working, and I wouldn't be surprised if that remains the case, due to HTCs new image chip and closed code. Decisions decisions ￼

Granted, this doesn't negate the frustration with S-on.

Edit: see what I did there imheroldman ;) ? Thanks buddy. :thumbup:

Evil, what is the tampered watermark you speak of?

Also, in the 3d thread where I saw CM9 link, I swear I saw they have S-off now! That's great.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I really like their new "tampered" watermark :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
....tampered watermark? Whuuuuu?
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Instead of unlocked it now says ****TAMPERED**** at the top of an unlocked bootloader
[EVO 4G General] UberJams:
Has anybody ever tryed doing a petition that people can sign to HTC for a full unlock?
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
I think this is a great idea as well. Let's speak up!
[EVO 4G General] .Elite_The_King.:

:D
[EVO 4G General] UberJams:
+1 for my vote

Scottspa74 you should really think about it. Just imagine how many people form the XDA community alone would sign it.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Personally, I'm boycotting HTC permanently, they can kiss my ass I'm never giving them my money again. And I won't use their devices if i got em for free just out of principle. Just like apple they won't see any support ffrom me no matter how great the device is. I don't support lying tyrants that bait and switch, bunch of phoneys have spit in the android communitys and their customers face too many times for me
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Hey guys , thanks for the support and drafting me and all lol. I don't mind writing stuff, cuz I often can be good with words,...my problem (in terms of being tasked with this chore) is that it obviously would be best done over social media, and maybe it's cuz I'm old, but social media isn't a medium in which I excel lol.

Imheroldman seems to have a great grasp of how to do such a thing. Also, toast has a petition type thing to sign on and share with HTC. Its on page 106 in the Evo 3d General forum thread titled Evo LTE official thread.

Thanks for your votes of confidence, guys, but I'm just not familiar enough with twitter, blogs, etc, to be the one to really get it done. But I'll see how fast I a can learn. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightRider_MC:
Hello there XDA community,

I'm not sure if this is a relatively new problem with Google Play, but I was compelled to share this with you - as I've spent hours trying to get a solution that worked on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7510) - and here's my forwarded offering:

Problem

When Android Market updates to Google Play, it fails with error code 941 and all my apps crash within a minute of starting them. The apps start working again if I remove the Google Play update. As soon as I open the Android Marketplace again it tries to update to Google Play again and the problem comes straight back!

Cause

I personally am unsure - but there is definately a compatibility issue with Google Play and the Android Marketplace, of which Google are still working on - hence the reply below...

Solution

Also once you have done all this, use a root explorer and go to system apps and either rename market updater.apk to apk.bak or just delete it. This will keep the market (play store, hate the name) from trying to update and thus not having to redo all this every time you download something.

[Android General] Supaiku:
Check it:

Yes, Lenovo they made a sub-stellar tablet, full of obnoxious software which made it trick to root at first (in the end, though, it's just a one click script! They're geniuses really...) but they did do one (other) thing:

They made some neat syncing software:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/89x55kn

I'm using version 2.0.336 with my One X (and my friend's lePad K1)

It's called le Tools, after the 乐pad (lePad, AKA. ideaPad), but in truth it works with other devices as well - again, at least, on my One X!

The software installs it's client app on your android device when you connect with USB debugging with the software running on your windows OS.

It allows you two methods of pushing files to your droid:

one USB, and the other password protected wifi! When you push applications it gives you the option to install them (via the device's screen) once copied.

Additionally, it has it's sync app. I haven't used (yet?) But, given the finickiness of window's Portable Device management (for some reason it's really slow and sketch for me), and the inconvenience of all the typing when using adb, this seems nice and simple. Oh, and it's wireless!!!

Try to flash the stock ROM via SEUS (it will guide you step by step). Then root your device, install Busybox and xRecovery.

If you still want to have a custom ROM installed, make sure folders: system, data, cache & sdcard are mounted in xR - boot into xR, choose Partition Tools, mount all the folders. Then install the ROM.

[About XDA developers] aarons510:
Often a single thread will wind up having many hundreds, even thousands, of posts. In most cases, one would have to be a masochist to read them all, but, unless one can come up with good search terms to find posts relevant to a particular aspect of the thread topic, one is likely to miss significant, even crucial, information.

It seems that, in many contexts, starting new threads is frowned upon here, and users are encouraged to add new topics to existing threads. An extreme example is the thread:

Barnes & Noble Nook Color > Nook Color Android Development > Development Q&A - Ask Developmental Questions Here!

Mikey starts the thread with the message:

To me this makes no sense. Wouldn't it be better to have a sub-forum for such questions, so that users who have a question, perhaps even one not clearly formulated in their mind, could see what questions have been posted and possibly answered already? (Parenthetically, I would like to know how to distinguish "Developmental Questions" from other technical questions.)

Also, I think a lot more use should be made of the Wiki. For example, wouldn't it be useful to have a Wiki page for each ROM or closely-related set of ROMs for each device or set of devices that said ROMs have been developed for? Couldn't any guide that will inevitable require updating in response to developments and user questions be better done as a wiki page? (I would allow for the possibility that changes in the page might require the approval of the author of the guide.)

Am I banging my head against a wall here?
[About XDA developers] 85gallon:
There is a lot of good info in the threads. But you expect devs to keep things up to date in one location? Some of them do and do a really good job at it. But most don't. Hell 95% of the time they don't even have a description of what the benefits of buying their paid apps over the free version are in the market. They don't put forth the effort when they are trying to get you to spend money, why would they do it in the forums. [/rant]
