A comparison

Rooting and S-Off are separate entities.

Rooting

Allows superuser permissions that you otherwise do not have. It presumably gets its name from having access to the 'root folders and files' where the phone's OS stuff is and where the devs alter things to make our phones neater! After rooting, you can tether, back up your app data using something like Titanium back up. SetCPU is a root-app that allows you to over and underclock the CPU, but I don't know how this app is compatible with the EVO LTE. There are other apps that are useful, but not really for me. Some taboo apps like Wifikill and droidsheep require root as well but have been pulled from the market, for obvious reasons. Rooting voids warranty, but you can unroot and no one will know.

S-Off

S-Off is a security flag. You can have root and be S-On. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but S-off = unlocked bootloader. And unlocked bootloader means that you can flash ROMs that have not been digitally signed by HTC (you can flash custom roms made by developers here). The only ROMs you can flash with S-On are RUUs, ROMs from HTC in this case. Also, having an unlocked bootloader allows you to install a custom recovery. A custom recovery is handy because you can create a Nandroid back up of your phone. Kind of like an image of a PC. If you mess your phone up, you can restore it to a mirror image of whenever you created the Nandroid. Also, custom recoveries are where you flash custom ROMs and MODs that developers make. Unlocking your bootloader/gaining S-Off voids your warranty. And with htc-dev, which lets you unlock the bootloader, HTC pretty much can keep track of who voids their warranty. If you wait a while, some Dev around here should whip up some way to S-off without HTC knowing. the Rewal method currently posted in the And-Development forum for EVO LTE might do this, I'm not sure.

So... in summary...

Rooting

Use cool apps

Tether

Super user permissions

S-Off/Unlocked bootloader

Custom recovery

Flash custom ROMS and MODS

Create Nandroid Backups

I think thats it. Someone correct any misinformation I gave. :)

Oh, and as for the tampered questions, when you gain root access, htc put in some code that in the bootloader is says TAMPERED. But unrooting removes this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mastarifla:
Thanks again typhoonikan for the helpful understanding of the in's and out's of my phone!

So basically I can root/unroot without fear because I am able to revert the phone back if I had any problems.

The only risk is unlocking the bootloader via HTC because regardless of what you do, HTC will always know that your phone has been bootloader unlocked.

Basically the only reason we need S-off is to flash radios and also to be able to do that without it showing that our phones have been messed with/unlocked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
You are wrong.

You can have an unlocked bootloader and still be S-On (this is exactly what HTCDev unlock does).

A rooted phone can run root-only apps and allows you to access the root file system.

An unlocked bootloader allows you to install a custom recovery where you can flash ROMs, but may or may not allow flashing of kernels and will usually not allow you to flash radios.

S-Off allows you to flash radios and other protected NAND partitions.

S-Off, to my knowledge as of 6/4/2012, has not yet been obtained on the EVO 4G LTE, though you can root and unlock the bootloader. But you really only need S-Off if you want to flash different radios.

In summary:

S-Off + Root + Unlocked bootloader (with custom recovery) allows you to do anything with the phone.

S-On + Root + Unlocked bootloader (with custom recovery) allows you to do anything EXCEPT flash radios.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
S-off also allows you to change the splash screen
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
And custom kernels
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Actually on this device you can change kernels wit S-ON
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sanchez:
Yep, you can basically do everything with S-ON. Kernels, roms, boot screen, etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Pretty sure splash screens are no go's with S-ON. But i could be wrong since on this phone you can do kernels unlike the OG and the 3D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] filmaker:
Just a quick question, will using HTCDev unlock require me to wipe all my data?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
Yes it will
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mastarifla:
I really wish we could get all this information in a sticky, seeing how the question gets repeated numerous times.

I would be more than happy to write up this information if need be, even make a few diagrams/charts for the visual learners like myself :)

Razr Maxx 3300 mAh or Inc4G w/1700 mAh with an S4 processor......

What are the opinions on real world battery length? Which will be longer and by how much?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
This isn't really a case of "opinion" so much as "estimation." At this point, nobody can say for sure how long the battery life will be on the Inc 4G.

But, we do know that it should certainly be really good. It probably wont be quite as good as the Razr Maxxx, but I honestly think it will come close. The fact that the battery is removable is much much much much much more important for me than a couple extra hours of battery life.

Most days, I'm near a charger for long enough (be it at my desk, in my car, at home, etc.) where battery life is not a concern at all. But when that's not the case, and I need a good battery life (say I'm going to an amusement park for the day, for example), I generally need more than a couple extra hours. In these cases, the Maxxx will last longer but still die prematurely. A removable battery is key in these scenarios.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wpbear:
Same thoughts, just wondering if any contrary opinions. Oh, also screen size on Maxx is bigger=more batt usage.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
With a slightly bigger battery and bigger screen and resolution and higher clock speed, the One X beats Maxx in some aspects and is close to it in others... So, with 100 mAH less than the One X but smaller screen and resolution AND lower clock speed, I expect Dinc4GLTE's battery life to be as good as One X and may be better in some scenarios. So, i.e. it may beat Razr Maxx by a bigger margin than One X in some scenarios and close the gap even more or overtake in others...

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] The Archangel:
I'm moving this to Q&A. Do I need to explain why?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demarcmj:
Lol. I was gonna say something.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Senryo:
I wonder what 3rd party upgrades will be available for the battery. How many mAh can we fit in the same size? A little extra cushion is always nice.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kg_jettaIV:
I'm hoping for the same thing, I loved the slim extended capacity battery for my DInc and I'm hoping Seidio can get the same thing going for this.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
I've certainly given up hope. Sad though, this is a great phone, but looks like it's going to be another failed "in-between" device for developers.
[HTC Rezound] mbarry55:
all im saying is people dont know the half of what goes on behind the scenes. myself included. just because people aren't on here every 10 minutes giving updates of everything that goes on does not mean progress has not, and is not, being made.

kernel issues are being worked on, even without official HTC source.

just relax. stop reading the forums every half hour. it'll make the wait easier. :)
[HTC Rezound] christohfur:

[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
dude, come on. you post once a week about how you're either sick of this phone because it'll never run AOKP or that you've given up hope on AOKP. enough is enough. if you don't like the god damn phone because it runs sense, go buy a ****ing nexus.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
...So let me get this straight, you're complaining about a frivolous issue when our source for ICS hasn't dropped? I'll laugh when you have a different phone, we get source, and the development section explodes.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
In the midst of doing that right now, thank you very much.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
I hope you're right...I truly do, because I like the phone.
[HTC Rezound] mbarry55:
This is so true. Why in the WORLD did you buy an HTC phone that you know runs sense when you DON'T want sense? Nothing is a given. I remember my 1st android phone was an Eris, and one time a leak came out, and the people who flashed it were STUCK. For the LONGEST TIME! Could not go up, down, were totally stuck on the leak. Things happen, and sometimes, things DON'T happen.

I want AOSP too. But not because I don't like sense, otherwise I would not have gotten the Rezound. I like options, that's all.

Lesson? Don't buy an HTC phone if you don't like sense. Simple as that.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
At least he's not an EVO 3D owner that flashed the Virgin Mobile leak that "locked" their phones.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
+1 as well.
[HTC Rezound] mbarry55:
Yeah at least my Eris still worked. There were some crappy side effects but in the end it functioned. I'll never forget sitting in the #Eris IRC room with zifnab, justincase/teamandirc and beesley trying to figure out WTF to do and how screwed I was.

Just saying. Could be a lot worse.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Very true.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I still don't understand why you had me help you through the Stock to S-OFF, ICS Firmware, Custom rom process if you were gonna return it again.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
And in my own defense (not that y'all will accept any). LOL

This is my FIRST Android. I'm coming from a JB iPhone for about 4 years and with it being ONE device there was CONSTANT development. So forgive me for seeming a tad impatient. I AM! ROFL

I appreciate all the development and love updates and feedback. BUT, per all you fine gentleman I'll either get a Nexus or shut the fu*k up and wait until the source code for ICS is released.

****CRAWLING BACK UNDER MY ROCK NOW****

ROFL!
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
I'm not returning it...I'm just looking for a second device. I had a warrantied device because of a camera issue so had to walk through all that stuff again.

But I plan on keeping the device even if/when I get the Nexus or SIII or whatever.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I hope it comes. I bought it assuming that it would honestly. I like sense but is bloated so much now. I would rather have more battery and speed that cm would offer. I came from an incredible and had no idea that ril would be a huge obstacle like it is. Oh well live and learn. I have an upgrade coming up anyway so if it doesn't come I may be moving on

I was dying for it because I aways put go launcher on top of sense which made my.phone really laggy specially with a 500 mb or so rpm. Even with Scott's 380 slim and fit de.

Then came newts new release, with a lot of the features go has built in.

Now I could give a ff about aokp. As long as newt is around am at ease.

Sense 4 came a.long way with him. One or more two editions and I see that Rom being the one and only for the rezound.

Don't hold your breath, live with the fact that it will not happen (yay if it does )and work on finding a descent rom that fits ur needs rather than wasting time checking Twitter and xda, work with a specific Rom. Be generous and.patient and polite with your dev and you will reap gold

SOURCE : Kickedface :cool:

Disney and Imangi Studios are teaming up to release a movie tie-in for the upcoming animated film Brave. Appropriately named Temple Run Brave, this game will feature Merida, the red-headed main character from the Brave movie.

Unfortunately for Merida, she has been placed into a Temple Run game which means the poor girl is going to be chased relentlessly by the evil demon bear from the movie called Mordu.

However, aside from the change to characters in Temple Run, this new movie tie-in will pretty much feature identical gameplay from the original Temple Run game.

There is a new section within Temple Run Brave though to at least make it a bit more of a movie tie-in. This new section is an Archery section which is sort of a homage to Merida's skill with a bow and arrow.

During these sections, targets will appears on the left or right which you can tap on quickly which makes Merida shoot them with her bow and arrows. If you hit all the targets in a section you will earn a bonus.

Here is the trailer of this and below trailer its the Gameplay of this game :

Ok so this is gunna sound really weird and i cant even begin to think how this is possible but its happened.

My Phone was originally Icecream Sandwich themed (see my signiture pic for my actual screenshot), everythings themed in ICS colours blue white grey black you get the idea, after i installed an app (GuessFree) as soon as the app loaded i was hit with a new skinned keyboard in pink, it was supposed to be ICS blue so i just carried on with the game thinking it was a feauture of the application (although kinda annoyed it changed my keyboard) but when i quit the game and returned to my homescreen, Literally everything that was blue was pink, my blue circuitboard wallpaper now pink, my system app icons now pink, my time,date, ICS header lines, connection icons, homescreen icons, ex dialer theme, go launcher theme Im not kidding everything was themed pink, it looked like it was professionally themed aswell kinda like i have installed a cm7/cm9 pink theme chooser theme, its very high quality and all my ICS themed apps have changed to pink aswell, but i havnt installed any pink themes especially cm7 or cm9 because my rom is checkrom NoteHD v6 with Vertumus ICS Theme. no theme chooser support. after i pressed the lockbutton everything went back to blue, im trying to recreate the bug/cool trick and record it but im not having much luck, anyone elses phone did this? :confused::confused:

[HTC Sensation] javokhir:
Hello to all!

Just want to create this thread hoping to help others

I am not a developer, but got my own unlock shop

My clients do bring many Sensation phones which have problem with Wi-Fi after update to 4.0.3

I did try all methods just to fix it:

1.JTAG soldering, repair boot, flash radio zone, changes hboot version. after flash with older software

2. Root the phone, install supersu, install Wi-Fi fix .apk

did solve many phones, but yesterday another client brought another phone with the same Wi-Fi problem.

I said to myself: easy tiger! perhaps there is another shortest way!

All I have done is: go into Bootloader Mode > Factory Reset & VIOLA!

After reset Wi-Fi works like a charm.

All I ask is, please. Who have sauch a problem, just do this step & confirm in this thread.

Kind Regards

This is the most common problem encounter during the OTA updates. I would suggest install the right RUU if you want stock ROM its better than the OTA updates. ;)

I had issues with the OTA as well, my phone would say no Sim card but when i placed it in another phone it worked just fine. T mobile support told me that the update did something that wouldn't allow non 4g sims to communicate with the device, I originally had the MyTouch4g. So i went over to a T mobile Store to switch my sim with a 4g sim out but the problem still remained the same. Called support again and they warrantied out my phone and sent me a replacement within 2 days. Just sharing my experience with OTA issue. :cool:

Ok... I have been having the most bizarre wifi issue with my HOS. I have had this issue before with another phone. So it might not be the phone....it could just be my wireless router.

The problem is that I have no problem whatsoever connecting to wifi... But connecting to wifi, and getting data throughput isn't everything one needs.

When you connect through the wifi, you still need to connect to one or more of the following: (I) the mobile network riding over (or encapsulated in) the TCP packets, (ii) you need to connect to the Google network (or this may just be part of your data connection) in order for G+, gmail, talk, etc. to work.

On a great old CM7 theme I once had, the status bar was SO helpful because while the wifi was connected, I would see the wifi icon fully filled and white. But when it actually connected to the network, it turned blue

I looked around for something like this, but to no avail. Anyone have an idea how to change this or find a mod for it?

Sounds like I'm in the same boat. The TI data restores don't work. I have not backed up or tried to restore system data. If I wipe data for an app, it runs fine. If I restore data, it force closes.

Just Restore Apps, instead of together

Hi, Perhaps app's data somehow related to previous ROM thingy. New ROM might comes with different features which makes apps shown in different layouts and data presentation. That might have been the cause.

So just reinstall ONLY WITH APPS ONLY.

Data typically like saved memory/cookies in your phone. So data can be remade by reopen apps :) Hope helps :)

Thanks for the reply. I don't see how in incremental release of the same ROM would be the issue. Yes, I couild install the apps only, but that would defeat the purpose of using TI in the first place. (And, I have nearly 200 apps.)

Tonight, I'll roll back to AOKP Milestone 5 and see if it works. If not, I'm wondering if the update to TI this week may have had anything to do with it.

Method for solving FC (make sure ya know what you doing)

Oh, if thats the case, are you restoring data including some system data into different rom? Perhaps you can give a try:

1.Wipe the data for that app

2.Launch the app again. It should run normally but without any data (eg: zero MMS/SMS messages).

3.Enable the "System data migration" option in Titanium Backup

4.Restore the data with Titanium Backup

5.Reboot.
