I swear I saw that coming...they were all happy and all fair witha all the HTC elevate members and whoever got the phone before hand and let the bl process be there till the night before...that makes me wonder why!!! Why do they Care so much..Verizon made some really questionable decisions with that device sucks as 16 gb no menu remap(come on?) No sd slot(really?) ....i wish HTC weren't in such a slump right now...they make the best phones in my opinions but when they come to the see US the carriers have them by their balls

Looks good from the pics, was it hard to do?
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
Looks good, what type of paint was used? i'm thinking of doing mine since i have to do a tear down anyway to replace lcd and digitizer.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
When you opened it, did you notice if the bezel was replacable? Mine is falling apart
[EVO 4G General] bng06:
Thanks...I had to replace the glass because it was cracked. I took it apart (there are YouTube vids out there to break it all down). Once it was apart, I sanded it down with a medium grit and a fine grit sand paper cleaned it up, taped down all the important parts. Sprayed two coats of pink Rustolium painter's touch and finished with two more coats of matte clear coat let it dry for several hours, 24-48 may be better cause I chipped a little corner of paint off.
[EVO 4G General] bng06:
Yes, all the parts are, just be cautious buying the ones from China, they take weeks to get in and the paint quality is sub-standard

So much for gorilla glass...
[EVO 4G General] fitz420:
The screen on the evo 4g is not gorilla glass.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It is if u have the atmel screen like mine, gorilla glass is however only scratch resistant against metal and no silica like sand and it cracks easy at certain drop angles because of its density so it doesn't have alot of give its used in phones just to protect from scratches when put in purses and pockets with keys and change sand how ever will wreck it and a drop to the corner or at the right angle will shatter it quick

If it starts to chip or peel from using the rustoleum, try a krylon fusion 3 part kit that comes with primer, color and clear that stuff is damn near indestructible

Sweet paint
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
And you just gave me the bright idea to tear my ET4G apart next weekend and paint it with the 3 part krylon fusion in the orange red and gold candy colored kameleon :D

Either that or one of the testors hot rod series model car paints that is flip flop color like the krylon fusion I wonder which would be more durable :what: damn decisions u got a thanks for sticking this bright idea in my head lol

[EVO 4G General] jpisini:
Very cool paint job. I want to see someone use the paint that chnges color with heat that would be amazing.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
They got hypercolor paint? Where do I find this? I was gonna use the flip flop color changing paint that changes colors in the light but some heat color changing would look cool on the battery door and screen bezel where it gets hot unevenly so it would make patterns in the paint as it heated up

used to be in the detailing business, and found the absolute best paint to use for any plastic, vinyl, or even some leather is SEM the stuff is like glue, once applied it is permanent...your not going to find this in Walmart best source would be auto body supplier....great stuff!!

[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Its one of the 3 brands of screens they used in the evo, the atmel brand is the one i know for sure has a gorilla glass digitizer. The 3 they use were nova, Epson and the atmel. Hw003 I know for sure were shipped with atmel screens but I'm not sure what if any other hardware versions had them. The atmel brand all had gorilla glass digitizers and the Epson and Nova were hit and miss if they used gorilla glass due to supply issues.

ETA- atmel is also now one of the largest manufacturers of capacitive touch screens and digitizers for smartphones, even companies like Samsung use atmels digitizers on their amoled and samoled and samoled+ lines of screens, I believe if I remember correctly atmel ended up with a contract from corning to exclusively produce gorilla glass and gorilla glass 2 digitizers

[EVO 4G General] EndlessDissent:
I'm pretty sure they only used Novatech and Epson screens. Atmel is the digitizer, not the screen. If you boot into the bootloader, all Evos use the Atmel touchscreen driver regardless of which brand of screen was used.

ok i did some searching but could not find..is there a button remapper app out there .. i cant find it..my problem is when i text i always tend to fat finger the home and/or back button ..which is F#$^#NG annoying as heck!!!:mad:

so i specifically want to disable them while the keyboard is open..any ideas or point me in the right direction?? :D

could not find the button remapper app!:confused:

thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Ummm the mapping file is

/system/usr/keylayout/melfas_touchkey.kl

You can try and change values of back and home to disable them completely...dunno how to go about doing that with the just keyboard up though.

so im using a costom rom but would like to go back to stock but have my phone rooted, how would i do that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aliamin86:
There is a nandroid backup in the development action I think its rooted 2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DayDaysTech:
could u link me to that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DayDaysTech:
im on 2.3.7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aliamin86:
Sorry that nandroid isn't rooted
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Stock means it's the ROM the phone ships with or can be normally updated to... which is either 2.3.3, or 2.3.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DayDaysTech:
ok so what do i do?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
There's a nandroid of stock 2.3.3 and you can root with super one click, or flash one of the stock ROMs... and it'll usually say " stock" in the title. 2.3.4 if on the new baseband.

Also, you can do some searching... won't hurt.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] urfate:
The method i beleve you have to go by depends on what version you opened the box with.

I started with 2.3:D

Please only use this as a reference and a reasurence, do a little more searching to find a better guide.

First you restore the backup from the development section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274

Then you need to restore stock recovery with NVFlash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Once at this point you can unroot with super one click

now go here http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999

and click software updates and drivers then follow the instructions to get back to 100% factory.

THIS IS BY NO MEANS A HOW TO:eek:

this is just what i have done in the past.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JohnDoe183:
I know this says update to new baseband but following the directions will take you back to stock, lose root and all:

Navigate to the updater-script inside the META-INF folder. Open updater-script with something like Notepad++.

There you will find some ui_print("..") stuff or add/delete/edit some.

everything between the "" will be printed on the screen while installing.

Make sure you know what you're doing before stuff goes wrong...

Next time use the search function, you will find more answers than there will be posted in this thread, and nobody likes 200 copies of the same question.

Updater Script

Make sure you use Notepad ++ if windows is your dev system of choice , if you use notepad/wordpad windows changes the ANSI of the file so it's not readable under linux/android

What kinda rom you making ? is it a port ? or compiled from source ? any development is good development !

and to all the neh sayers everyone has to start somewhere , don't be hating because someone asks for help , lolz and the OP use the search facility and the good thing with android is most stuff isn't device specific so don't be afraid to search threads for other devices aswell on your quest for knowledge

So what

Xda is for *Sharing* stuff we make

So please keep it down

Everyone wants to start development

Mostly first rom/mod sucks

But after it you can become very good at those things and learn a lot

And also try to play with all files

From that you will learn the most

;)

Please dont hate.me

But thinking that You are the Only dev here then youre wrong

Only wanting to protect your title is shamefull so please dont

Always act kind dont flame

Dont hate.

Give explanation

Give them lots of information instead of saying FY

Use that searh button -.-

[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Ok guys,

I'm due an upgrade in August, but I don't know whether to pass out on it.

I currently have a Desire S. It's got quite old hardware, a single core chip. I'm a heavy user of my phone, so it has to do many things for me - web browsing, email, etc.

I can't afford a quad core highend phone. So I'm thinking of getting a One S. It's only dual core... But if I get it, it will have to last me at least 2 years. That's a big decision to make. I've only had my Desire S 11 months, and I already stayed feeling the need to upgrade.

I need a faster CPU to keep up with android demands, and a larger screen.

The thing is, if I get the One S, how outdated will it be?

From what I see, dual core has a huge advantage over single core.

But quad core not so much over dual core... (Or maybe android isn't making good use of it)

What's next for the move in smartphones? 8 cores seems unlikely... So what will be next? If nothing big comes along, will the One S and its dual core chip still be good enough to last me 2 years?

I'd wait until HTC announces a new, better phone than the One series. Bit the Ones are great phones, you can't go wrong with them.
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Thanks, but what significant hardware improvements will HTC bring?

How will it differ greatly from the current range?

That leaves my other concern, is 10GB in the One S enough to last me 2 years? I've gotten by on a 8GB SD card on my Desire S...

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I would probably wait for a phone with 2GB or RAM such as the US version of the S3. Dual or quad core with 2gb or RAM should be good for at least 2 years.
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
So you are saying RAM is gonna make a huge difference?

Yeah, I see where u are coming from, but this isn't the case with android... It NEEDs the cores to have a smooth experience...

Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I think it will eventually. We are becoming more and more dependent on our phones. We want them to sync facebook, use GPS, listen to music and text at the same time. Once the software catches up to the hardware, there will only be more things to add to our multi tasking...more RAM is definitely the way to go.
[General Questions and Answers] Imaginovskiy:
Honestly, I'd say pick the one that has the best battery life, useability and moddability. Most of these smartphones nowadays are neck and neck imo. So you may as well get the one that you can customize the hell out of and will net you what you consider acceptable battery life.

If you want two cores you can probably score a deal on a Galaxy S II I saw "Fire-Sales" in London where they were going for £180 - £220. I recently picked up my Galaxy S I for £100 new in box. Also don't forget devices like the Optimus 2x or the Atrix 4G.
[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
I would very strongly disagree with that. I'm using my HD2 which has hardware about a year and a half older than the Desire S (basically an older generation CPU and GPU, approximately 200Mb less RAM, Windows Mobile as stock) and it runs ICS (CM9) very smoothly. It's been three years since it's release and it's still going strong. There is a potential One V Alpha build and I think Jelly Bean (or whatever the next iteration of Android will be called) is quite possible for the HD2. I think that the One S is a poor choice, because you might as well just get a Sensation which has essentially the same hardware as the One S and has the added benefits of being cheaper, having a bigger developer base (I think) and having a menu button (which is a lot more useful than you'd think, the onscreen one is very ugly ;)). Whether or not this will last you 2 years on official software I don't know, but I reckon it'll last a good couple of years. The only problem is if the devs move off of the Sensation and on to a new phone.
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Thanks mate. I read that the SGS3 struggles with RAM (1GB version) as the new skin is so heavy, that the launcher constantly withdraws etc.

Thanks man! Fire-sales - can you be more direct please? Are these brand new from retail shops? I had my eye on the SGS2 aswell...

Where can I look around? :)

Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
Oh when I wrote my post (you probably missed it on the previous page) I was making the assume that you wanted to go HTC only. If you are willing to go for an SGS2, that would definitely beat a Sensation IMO.
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Well, I don't use AOSP ROMs. I use full Sense ROMs, so the phone is slower, I use it heavily for web browsing, and gaming etc. I've noticed the browser is never as smooth as a dual core phone. I use my phone extensively, therefore, I like fluid performance, and for me android on a single core doesn't satisfy MY needs.

Also you are slightly off... The One S is far ahead of the Sensation. It uses a S4 chip compared to the S3 in the Sensation with a much newer CPU and GPU, it's much much more efficient, and currently the best dual core chip... That's why I wanted to choose that...

Dev support Is decent for the One S.

I'm open to all android manufacturers. (Actually. Only Samsung or HTC)

[General Questions and Answers] eksasol:
The specs for all flagship phones are all very good now, maybe a little saturated. The important thing is the advancement in software. There is still no LibreOffice or full Adobe Photoshop or AutoCAD for Android. Fanboys will get mad reading this, but Android needs vast improvement in interface speed, look at Windows Phone running on single core devices and their boot time.

Phones will keep getting better because it will be the main 'PC' for everyone in the future (if not already now). People will carry it with them then dock it to do more productive tasks. Which is what Ubuntu is trying to do with Android.

For me personally, the Nexus still gives me the most freedom and most up to date Android version, so no reason to buy anything else yet.

The best example of hardware ahead of software is the next iPhone, no matter how high res or fast it is, its still an iPhone running on closed source iOS, so I won't buy it.
[General Questions and Answers] MR4Y:
Is cutting edge hardware really that necessary? If you noticed, Google is the responsible for pushing the envelope and forcing more powerful hardware with less battery life and so. Remeber what happened to Honeycomb? Running slow and sluggish even on the platform it was specifically made for. Or wondering why the old Tegra cpu has some lag on ICS when the most recent S4 and Exynos quad core doesn't? Is there a reason for a dual core smartphone (HTC One S) to score higher than a quad core(HTC One X)? Our modern cutting edge phones are bigger, with objectionable battery life and can barely fit in our pockets.
