[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilightfox:
What are partitions..

That is because when you re-partition your card (or hard drive,etc..) it basically wipes it. What you are doing is redefining the very volumes that take up space on your card and giving them a starting and ending block address based on the size of the card and the defined size of the partition. You can think of it has a two pieces of glass and you are pouring colored sand in. You pour red in and get your data partition, then you pour in green and get your swap partition so on. Eventually all partitions are defined and ideally will make the most use of the total space on your card.

So when you partition, it's very low level and requires abandoning all data and prior formats on the card unless you are using some special software that attempts to adjust the sizes of the partitions.

Somewhere at the beginning of your card is a small sector that lists all the partitions and their starting/ending blocks, plus other relevant informationj.

So if you plan to partition, you need to back up the data first to your pc or what not.

:cool:

Storage

Because its an entire system you'll want to to save space on your card, make a backup of any important files because its gonna wipe it and you cant undo it

I would only root if you want to. Most root .zip's have an "unroot" batch file for easy un-rooting.

It all comes down to "what do you want to do?" And "does it need sudo access?"

OP under construction.

Preview edition:

Includes framework-res and systemui

More to come later.

Thanks to JohnCorleone and the1dynasty.

Issues: The normal theme chooser stuff. When it says it's not for your screen size, just ignore. If it tells you its not compiled properly, set to the system theme, reboot, then select the theme.

Links and more screenshots coming soon.

I will get the op finished later. I was out way longer than I had planned today.

[Android Themes] shane6374:
Yes, but I was thinking about making that for the Galaxy S III after I get mine. I do have a bunch of images made for a Honeycomb like theme. The challange I run into with it is that the toggle area in the pulldown for both CM9 and Gummy are only 48x48 pixels on hdpi screens. Even on an xhdpi device that would only make it 64x64. Hard to get good detail in that small of a space.

This theme actually started out as being my next Honeycomb theme, but I didn't like how it was looking so I changed it to this.

The last thing I need is time. With any luck I'll get some easy college courses this fall that allows me the time to do this more. That hasn't been the case since March.

I took advantage of the "Because we may sale" and picked up Swords and Soldiers since I have thoroughly enjoyed it on the PC. Problem is when I launch the game I can hear the music but only see a black screen with the navbar on the bottom. Any suggestions to get this working? Has ANYONE managed to successfully play?

Hopefully we can get this working and share some stories. The game is really hilariously fun and has its share of epic moments. I was excited that I'd finally be able to have it on the go.

Attempts so far:

Turn off GPU rendering-- black screen black screen with music

Turn off surface dithering -- blach screen black screen with music

16-bit rendering -- black screen with music

Surface dithering on, 16 bit graphics -- title screen then black screen with music

edit: never mind, I see this is just a big pdf, not all the scripts too...

belongs in general tho

again, you should also tell people how to setup adb properly...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] froesei:
Personally, I'd be reluctant to criticize anyone who put so much work into a tutorial. Wow, this thing is detailed....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
sure, good tutorial, wrong section, and not setting up adb properly is just bad practice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
Forgive my ignorance, but ...

Perhaps I'm somewhat ignorant here, but I don't understand what you mean by "setting up adb properly." All I had to do what put the four adb/fastboot files in a separate directory, which I explained in great detail, and everything worked ... and has always worked for me.

Please educate me.

Peter

I have to admit, perhaps with some abrasiveness, that what really gets me is people who automatically think we know what phrases like "just do it in fastboot, or "just use adb." These simple statements are meaningless unless you have a really good idea of what you're doing. I only wish people would offer a bit more explanation of what simple phrases like that really mean.

You know, I'm quite familiar with HTC phones, and rooting, etc., but after spending so much on so many phones, I'm still hesitant to do certain things without a VERY CLEAR explanation, which very few people provide. Yes, I'm upset now. I think I have earned the right to be upset, especially since all I ever want to do is help others ... and make what could potentially be a phone-busting procedure into something that's a bit easier to follow.

Rant over!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
Just a big PDF?

So, it's JUST A BIG PDF?

You know, I could truly attack that statement, but I won't. After spending countless hours preparing my "how to," well, I won't say it.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Peter you really put a lot of time and effort in to this. Good job! I was just wondering if instead of having people manually edit the cid, why not use the tool? it is a lot safer and a whole lot easier for someone who is lost with this stuff. It's just really easy to brick a device with the hex editor. i know you give plenty of warnings, i just think the tool would be a much better way to go for inexperienced users. Thanks again for all the time you put in to this. I'm sure it will help a lot of people. Also another tutorial was released today as well with a few of the steps changed.. like unlocking and re locking the bootloader. Those can be streamlined according to the other tutorial. If the goal is truly to make things easier for newcomers, and i'm sure it is, then some adjustments should probably be made. Please dont take this the wrong way either. I really really appreciate your time and effort, just a few things could be significantly easier for newcomers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
Normally I would agree with you, but ...

Actually, you are correct; however, I have to admit that on several occasions over the last 2-3 weeks, those one-click tools, and other tools simply didn't work for me. True, doing it manually can be very dangerous, but then I know for sure it will work.

It would be nice to combine the two tutorials. Perhaps I can get this done. I'll have a look at the other one.

Peter

P.S. I do appreciate constructive criticism. The operative word, of course, is "constructive."
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MichaelHaley:
Peter you are rad.

I am the noob that needs detailed step-by-steps like this, which will also serve to help me understand what I am dealing with. You wrote that directly to me. Check out my "My First Smartphone" thread here, and you can see that I am basically asking for this. Exactly.

Anyone who says this is in the wrong forum sucks, because this is the kind of phone I have, and this is the forum I check for general noob info. I don't go *****ing up your dev threads with my idiotic questions, don't scare away people trying to help me in the general area. <3

This is amazing work that must have taken a lot of time to do. It's greatly appreciated by the community! I understand most things, but there are people that have no clue what any of this stuff means. You could go to argue that they have no business attempting such things, but you have to start somewhere. Right? I have written many SOPs for many jobs. The thing I always try to accomplish, is to make it where someone off the street could come in and do the task the first day. You could say it's overkill, but I feel you can never have too much info. If your more advanced, then just skip the parts you don't need. Heck, you might even learn something you already thought you knew! The problem we have at XDA, is that some tend to cater toward the knowledgable because it's easier, but will take the time to consistently hammer others for asking questions. Keep in mind, This is not directed at any one individual. As a whole, if directions were more detailed the devs lives would be much easier.

This should be a sticky so it doesn't get lost in the heap of nonsense.

Yes, you can. As I said in my previous post, I tried using it several times, all without success. Perhaps I did something blatantly wrong. It's possible, but then I saw a manual way of doing it, so that's what I did, and it worked.

However, if the quicker method works for you, that's great.

As promised, I've completely revamped the original instructions. It now includes a full table of contents with clickable links to help in navigation, and both Quick and Manual entries on all modifications.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig@xatik:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing he meant actually installing the SDK which includes 'adb'.

This would also include setting up environment variables for Windows such that you can access 'adb' from any folder.

Here is a link to the SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

(This is probably overkill for most, but I would recommend having this for having the "actual" 'adb' straight from the source)

Thank you ...

Thank you for the reply; however, I must admit, I've never had to actually "install" anything to do all my rooting, etc. All I've ever done is simply put the adb and fastboot files, including the two mandatory dll's in a folder ... and that's it. I will say, though, that you're probably right concerning issues that go far deeper into the development process.

You're not troubling me at all. :) I'm always glad to help, when I have the time.

I usually don't frequent the general thread alot but today I was bored at work and decided to start reading all the threads when I came across this. First, thank you for the time and effort in putting this together. I'm sure it will/can help alot of new (and even experienced) users. Although I'm no expert when it comes to linux (windows man myself), I've been doing this long enough to be pretty comfortable when it comes to rooting/unlocking these darn android phones. Because of this, I've thought about creating a how-to document as well but never did. Mainly, because it's something that will never be 'done'. There's always newer/better ways coming out to do things and stuff that worked yesterday might not work today because of some firmware update, etc. I'm saying this cause I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into ;)

Again though, thanks for this and I'm sure more people will be helped by it than you get thanks from. Kinda the ungrateful world we live in. For comments like this is just some big pdf.. just ignore and move on. Not worth the time to even respond to.

You're right about ever-changing technology. I have to admit, I really enjoyed writing the document. If it's obsolete in two weeks, so be it. However, I'm sure it still will remain useful.

You're also right about the "just a PDF" comment. Sometimes I am overly sensitive, but that's me. I am who I am. I can't/won't change it. It' simply surprising (okay, maybe not so surprising anymore) when people make statements that offer nothing but unnecessary criticism/commentary.
