It is Verizon for sure I got my daughter one and my father one as well since verizon is the only carrier who gets service where my father lives except US cellular. The phone works great.

In the rural area we are in you have slim pickings as to what carrier has good service in certain areas.

Verizon has great coverage in this area but their contract phones are a bit pricey for my father and daughter's usage. But to get Verizon coverage on an android pre paid with straight talk is just a win/win for me. The only thing is that I really would like to root these phones so that they can use wifi tehtering in a pinch.

Its not going to be very often but sure is handy when you need it.

at the moment I have them set up for USB tethered sharing for internet when they have to have it mobile.

Id be willing to donate if someone takes up the challenge of rooting the Proclaim/illusion
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] behemothZ3R0:
I'm not currently a developer, but between the Proclaim and the Illusion I would think there's enough of an audience to develop something for these phones. The user group should be rather large.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] titanguy7:
I got it! But I hope we can get a trusted root. I'm afraid the straight talk software will go buggy if I root it. And I want to go over to ice cream.

Figured out how to get the MSL code!

So after spending too much time at this I happened over an interesting method.. and that was to simply use the free LauncherPro and create a shortcut on the main screen for com.android.hiddenmenu.advanced. You simply install LauncherPro and hold down on the main screen to create a shortcut then go into Activities and scroll down to com.android.hiddenmenu and there are a ton of options there. A lot of them will not actually open up even when you try this method but advanced will open and ask for a SPC code and when it fails aLogCat will log the correct code!!

So to sum it up

1. Download LauncherPro

2. Download alogcat & use msl filter

3. Create a shortcut/activities

4. com.android.hiddenmenu.advanced

5. open the shortcut and type in a bad SPC

6. Success you have now logged your SPC in alogcat.

Nm.. I went ahead and took a look but it does not appear like the hiddenmenu contains any references to the "secret code(s)" and I know creating a shortcut to ETS Channel fails.. so maybe it is the hiddenmenu.apk? Otherwise I am not sure how to fix it if the phone is lacking in some way.

I found the answer on how to enable ETS Channel. Once you type in **DEBUG on the dialer you will be presented with all the options you need. (Of course you also need to know the SPC/MSL, but I've already given that one to you ;P )

This is a post by MegaGamerGuy over at androidarea51.com It's a fix for the sd card being write protected. IT WORKS!!! I've done it on my proclaim and a few others have too. You can use terminal emulator on the phone to do this.

I found a quick fix!

go into the adb shell and type:

echo /dev/block/vold/179:9 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file

Edit:

This mounts iso files!

echo /etc/autorun.iso > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

Another update:

/etc/vold.fstab

change lun0 to lun1.

save vold.fstab.

reboot.

connect as usb mass storage device.

I have rooted my phone using the Android Area51 method. They use a proclaim as the base kernel instead of the illusion so 3g/wifi will work. I have created my own guide on how to do this including how to fix the SD card issue

Everything works on my phone now. No issues at all. Maybe this will help anybody wanting to root their Proclaim

Since I am not allowed to post links here yet, search Frihost's site for the rooting proclaim guide I have wrote.

Also they, androidarea51 is working on getting cwm working on the phone as well. From what I hear, they are getting close.

Your guide worked perfectly. I have not done the sd card fix because it seems to be fine without the fix. I also use airdroid for all data transfer from my computer to my phone.

I also seemed to have 3g without dialing *22890 as I downloaded an app but after that I went ahead and dialed *22890 to be safe.

Everything seems to be working fine on my phone. Wifi and gps along with phone/text.

MSL Proclaim FB07 / LI02

I've sucessfully used this method on my proclaim(FB07). The problem however, is I just bought my wife a proclaim (LI02), and the loop hole has been closed. I've since looked at the HiddenMenu.odex from both phones in a hex editor. They both contain the string "MSL response incoming!". But only the FB07 contains "MSL result :". I've tried coping the FB07 apk and odex to the newer phone, but HiddenMenu wont load. Would there be any way to trick the LI02 into running the older version? Or should i downgrade, then upgrade again, to get the MSL.

I've also tried deodexing, and decompiling, I'm having a problem, there is no code, and the two strings are not listed in the resources.

Thanks,

God Bless

I keeping getting a bootloop on all ics roms and I tried a kernal that someone recommend but it kills my 3d and i get random reboots . Is there any way to fix this problem and install the ROM with everything working. I'm on hb 1.50 . S- on . Or is there a way to downgrade to hb 1.40 but i don't have a Linux . What's the easiest way ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Waffle97slayer:
I also get the same results!

You can always try 4EXT Recovery with smartflash on. It works for both S-On and S-Off
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
try a superwipe. that fixed mine. Look in the dev forum for it (i think you can find it in the mean rom thread)
[HTC EVO 3D] Goose0121:
You could also downgrade using the instructions in the development thread. Ir doesnt require Linux, it includes a downloadable bootable CD. ITA damn near an automated process minus the brick part. And +1 for 4ext recovery it has features built just for S-on.

My other shooter is an FNAR .308

[HTC EVO 3D] Jep4444:
I doubt downgrading HBOOT will help, he's getting it to work with Chad's kernel. I'm exhibiting the exact same issue with bootloops with the stock kernel(in my case I used the shooter ice kernel to get it to boot) and I'm S-OFF/GSM so I'm pretty sure the issue isn't HBOOT related.
[HTC EVO 3D] spankyj25:
Same here

I have the same issue. I use 4ext with smartflash for recovery. I'm able to flash any GB rom I want, but when I try an ICS rom with a stock kernel I get the boot looping. Is there any other way to make this work? I don't want to dig into the brick/unbrick business if I can help it. I have also tried using Flash Img GUI and fastboot/adb to flash the kernel with the exact same results. Any information on this would help, but a solution would be fantastic!

What I did was use the new s off for 1.50 and once I got that done I was able to flash any ics Rom I want . Look for it in the development section.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
+1 to this. The stock Ics kernel does not do well with 1.5 s-on. Since you cannot downgrade to 1.4 s-off, you should try the new 1.5 s-off method. Otherwise you have to use a custom kernel which is not 100% yet.

Seems like no stock ics kernels like 1.4 hboot period with or without s-off. None would work for me until i updated my hboot to 1.5 and had s-off.

Hi fellow HTC One X threaders.

I was wondering whether it is possible to replace the stock launcher(want to do some nice things) with a other launcher and still be able to use the widgets of HTC(Love the weather widget btw)?

Any Sense related widgets can not be used with any other third party launchers.

You have 2 options, stick with Sense launcher or third party launcher bundled with various widgets to try and replicate Sense.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Okay, here's the problem. Right now whenever I try to charge my phone Via the wall plug it freezes up and I have to reboot, sometimes it gets stuck in a loop showing the battery level saying Sidekick 4G and going back to battery till I pull the plug and let it set. Or sometimes the phone just locks up completely until a battery pull. What's wrong with this and how could I possibly fix this problem?

Note: It seems to be fine when I plug it into my computer via USB.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
what ROM are you running, and when did the problem start? and are you using third-party batteries?

this might not be that much help, but i had this problem when using replacement batteries that i bought off Ebay. the batteries work fine when charged with the external charger that they came with, but when i plug the phone in via charger or USB, the phone immediately shuts down completely, and i have to pull the battery to get it working again.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
I am using Generic Ginger 4.1 (though in about it says 3.8 for some reason) For a while now, I can't really pinpoint when. And it's what came with the phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
ah ok, have you tried a different ROM to see if the issue persists? and/or posted the issue in that ROM's thread?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
I haven't gotten my 10 posts in yet, and it happened when i was on Glorious Overdose V2
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
that definitely does seem to be a software issue. maybe try to ODIN/Heimdall it back to stock, then see if the problem happens again. if it doesnt, then maybe just try going through the steps again to try and flash whatever ROM you want again. if it DOES do it while on the Stock ROM, then you have a major problem that Tmobile will probably replace.

somebody correct me if i'm wrong here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
I'm not sure if tmobile will replace it with another sidekick since we have been officially discontinued :-(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
They will if its under warranty or if you have insurance...just don't expect a phone different than a sidekick.

Name: TrackUrSelf

Having been an avid user of windows phone and a GPS enthusiast, I have always wanted to create an application which use this technology. rather than develop an map application, I decided to use the background agent of windows phone 7 and create an application which tracks your movement. This is very useful for hiking/trekking adventures as well long drives.

This application only tracks the location and displays it on the viewer. The locations are never sent out (other than skydrive backup), so this is not a stalker app :p

I would welcome your views and feedback on this application.

Changelog:

+ Aerial mode added

+ KML Export/Backup to Skydrive added.

+ Added Live tile with back tile info

+ Background image for the app and skydrive page.. looks better now

+ Fixed a bug, which was not letting you a take a backup without quitting the app.

+ Filename has Date&Time appended, which would enable multiple backups being stored in your skydrive (should have been there in the first place)

+ Fixed crash bug while updating live tile through background services. Forgot about cross access thread exception.

+ Implemented crash log reporter

You would need a developer unlock phone to sideload the application, it does NOT need any interop unlock or full unlock to launch it.

Hi darthveda,

Looks like a nice app, but I wonder how this app will influence your battery life? When hiking you generally do not have wall-plugs at your disposal to charge your battery when needed.

How often does the app store your position?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] darthveda:
it's 30 minute interval, pre-defined by WP7. It's a periodic task. I am running it on my system for over 2 weeks now, haven't had major power usage due to this.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Vintage144:
Dont be so sure of that , if your serious about hiking then dont leave home without this:

I waited 7 months for this to be released and I can tell you it works , its actually amazing and could be a life saver , this app might just help people considerably with rescue as well!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] darthveda:
At this point, NO. The reason is for privacy reasons but will look into implementing this feature in the next update.

As of 1.1, you can now track your position whenever you want apart from 30 minutes interval. And I have made sure not to store the location if it is same as before. Regarding battery usage, I don't have major impact on my battery usage.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Vintage144:
Well can store the positions as a log file , and possibly upload the log files , i think it would be incredibly useful to be able to log the coordinates , whether its every 30 minutes or more (less) , just thinking how usefule this info could be!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] darthveda:
Ok will implement it, I am not sure if wp7 allows me to write word files if it does then i will write a table in that itself :)

else a normal csv file would do i guess.

Also, adding the map modes as an option, right now it is street, will enable hybrid, satellite modes as well. This was a suggestion in marketplace reviews :)

Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep it coming
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Vintage144:
i used this app yesterday on a small scale , just a few miles and I have to say I like i will continue to test it as this is a unique kind of app!

Thanks Vintage144.. am waiting for MS to approve the app update, don't know why they take so long to do that. After that I will work on 1.2 with the new features requested.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] darthveda:
Hi Guys, For Spain winning the euro 2012 :D, here is my treat.

I have updated the app to 1.2 with the following features:

1. You can now change the map view to Aerial mode and revert back
