[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Of course another Sense 3.0 ROM would go down in flames because the reality of it is Sense 3.0 is just to much for the Shift to handle! Everyone knows that that's why they don't run full Sense 3.0. Maybe if you take the time to resize a ROM and fully opt it to run great, the race is already lost due to ICS Sense.

I've never developed a Sense 3.0 ROM for this phone so what do I have to fear? Of course full Sense 3.0 has more features than Supreme Sense BUT here's the kicker SS has all the pretty without the massive memory hit

[HTC Desire S] AEGEAN_GR:
Guys i am trying to root my Desire s with hboot 2.00.0002 following some guides arround..Well i created a goldcard and downloaded an older ruu.The "problem" is that its in .exe format and not in .zip.Its 255mb and in .exe format.Am i good to go or it must be in .zip format?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
The RUU is supposed to be executed (.exe) from your PC (while your phone is connected to it via USB).
[HTC Desire S] AEGEAN_GR:
Then is it safe to move it to the sd card?I mean will the phone recognise an .exe file to install the rom?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Please read the previous post again, try to understand what's written there.
[HTC Desire S] AEGEAN_GR:
Well,i believe i get it now..The guide i am following says " put from the RUU the rom.zip file (renamed to PG88IMG.zip) in the sdcard root directory" and i thought i should move the RUU i have downloaded to the sd card and run that file to install the rom.The reason i posted is that i dont see any zip file in the RUU.Its only a saga blah blah.exe file.So apparently i made a mistake.As i suppose you guys know its not funny to brick a month old phone and dont know what to do next..
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
You dont know What you are doing. Dont touch anithing. Start reading again.

I copied underneath from a different topic. It's not perfect but you can use it to find your way.

Hey mate!

Im on a same boat than you. Waiting for my phone to arrive then I'll start tweaking.

so far ive done this note list to my self.

could someone confirm if there is some big mistakes?

MY NOTES/ TODO LIST.

1. to not avoid warrancy ( Dont use htcdev unlock!)

2. download adb tools (ADB TOOL GUIDE LINK)

3. install htc sync for drivers then disable/uninstall htc sync.

4. check your phone software and hboot version on boot menu (GUIDE LINK)

5. downgrade to oldest RUU with hboot 0.90.xxx something if don’t want use htcdev unlock ( GUIDE LINK)

6. to do this it depends on software on phone.

if its new like 2.11.xx-> use tacoroot guide. ( GUIDE LINK )

if its older like 2.10.xx use the zergrush guide. ( GUIDE LINK )

7. after succesfully downgraded. take a backup. ( GUIDE LINK )

8. use revolutionary guide to S-Off And root ( this is possible only in oldest version of original RUU). ( GUIDE LINK )

8. install 4ext recovery touch and titanium backup. do your backups. ( GUIDE LINK)

9. format / partition SDCARD ( GUIDE LINK PLEASE!)

not necessary

10. download preferrable custom rom. Copy it to SDCARD root.

11. Flash custom rom. ( GUIDE LINK )

12. Enjoy and have a beer!

The SDcard partitioning is weird for me. how do i do that and what ext3/4 etc and what size do they need to be. if someone would confirm, please.

Am i on a right track or totally lost?￼
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Slightly harsh, but probably the best advice the OP can take at this stage. I had my DS for less than a month when I decided to root it - and that was over a year ago so I had to use the XTC-Clip to hardware break it for S-Off and root. I read, read and read some more until I knew EXACTLY what I had to do without consulting any guides - then I finally went for it.

Go back and read everything again so that you know every step of the way what to do and what to expect - then ask any questions that you may have before you finally take the plunge.
[HTC Desire S] AEGEAN_GR:
Well,guys..I asked from a person here on xda to give me a step by step guide on how to do this and i came up with the conclusion that some steps where not complete.Thats why i had such stupid question.Now i have done my personal reading and i am ready to follow this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443636 do downgrade..Although i have some questions on that i will try to figure things out and then post my questions.Till then i will do some more reading..Thanks again.
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
I used the points typed in previous post to find my whay... I repeat. My whay. So by reading and checking i made underneath steps. It did work.

6. to do this it depends on software on phone.

9. install 4ext recovery touch and titanium backup. do your backups. ( GUIDE LINK)

We're going to install EXT4 recovery. But first download ''4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip'' and extract the recovery.img file to the folder where you installed fastboot and adb. If you followed the tutorial in step 1 the folder will be ''C:\android-tools''

Now make sure Fast Boot is turned off on your phone. Go to ''Settings > Power > Fast Boot'' to turn it off. Unplug your phone from your computer, it's time to turn of your phone and boot into your bootloader.

Press Volume Down Button and Power Button at the same time to boot into recovery. Now connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot.

(Power button to select, Volume Down/Up to navigate)

Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.

Type:

cd c:\android-tools [press enter]

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]

EXT4 recovery is now installed on your phone. Turn off your phone in bootloader menu.

10. download preferable custom rom. Copy it to SDCARD root.

11. Flash custom rom. ( GUIDE LINK )

12. Enjoy and have a beer!

-when using Win7 you can start CMD in specific folder (avoid 5-10 cd's or long/path/to/folder) by holding shift+right click/open command window here)

and i repeat again. Above steps worked for my phone, Maybe not for yours, but it shows the way.
[HTC Desire S] AEGEAN_GR:
Well you now see my friend that i was following the wrong guide.My software version is 2.10.163.5 so i didnt need tacoroot method but the zergrush..I will try this one and see where it will lead me..
[HTC Desire S] margin marvin:
easy,maybe you not understand which is flash and RUU

you should run ruu on computer and phone is connectting via usb,and just fellow the step the software told you.good luck

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Michael007:
Here is my question: I would like to set up a text message shortcut on my home screen using the "direct message" shortcut for a specific contact, BUT I would like the shortcut to open directly into voice control so I can just begin talking (as opposed to opening into the text thread, then having to tap the box to bring up the keyboard, then having to tap the voice control icon).

Also, I know about the voice control app (say "text Rob" then start speaking your message). I want to cut out the "To" part of the equation because Google Voice very often gets that part wrong and I end up having to manually change the recipient info.

Thanks guys!

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sacliv:
Hi everyone. I had the one X but returned it in anticipation for the galaxy s3. I was wondering if anyone that had both phones can comment on the camera quality of both. I've read reviews and it seems like the one X has a better camera with a better aperture of f/2.0, so it has better low light photos.

I wanted to test it out in stores but they are not there yet, so i was wondering if anyone can give impressions of the quality of the s3 camera (and can compare it to the one x shots). I'm still deciding between the 2 phones...

thanks!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mehdi_s82:
I too had the one X but returned and pre-ordered the S3 and got it yesterday.

The two things that I liked better on One X are the camera and the display. IMO camera is noticeably better on One X, especially in low light. Also the camera app on One X is a little bit faster which might be due to the imagesense chip that One X has.

But overall Im happier with S3. Couldnt bare with One X's retarded multi tasking.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] robamacaf:
S3 vs iPhone

here are 5 comparison shots of the iPhone 4 vs the Galaxy S3. To my eye the samsung lets in more light and it actually sometimes makes the photos contrast too white. But the color reproduction on the samsung is closer to what I see with my eye

Now keep in mind, Samsung/android gives you much greater control over ISO/exposure/etc. These pictures are taken on the default "auto" settings. I think people could make them look a lot better by actually adjusting the iso/exposure/contrast. I'll probably come back on later and compare the iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and the Samsung with adjusted settings later.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
It almost looks like the all the iPhone photos were artificially saturated, because it's supposedly better to err on the side of too saturated than "washed out reality", for the average joe.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sacliv:
I'm really interested in your results after the settings. Currently the only thing holding me back from jumping on the galaxy s3 is the camera. But if adjusting the settings can make the camera photos appear better, then i think i'm sold. Please do post them when you do get a chance!

thanks!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cloudyphiz:
Those shots are very helpful... iPhone pics definitely look better on first glance, but the colors are artificial/over-saturated and I think the S3 provides more detail in the shadow. I had a One X, and thought that camera was terrible; everything was overexposed and washed out and if I dropped exposure by one tick it went to far. Definitely more optimistic about trying the camera on my S3 when it comes tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] robamacaf:
Here are some updated shots. I played with the S3 and got the settings I liked. One thing I didn't point out in the first set of pictures is if you zoom in on the pictures you'll notice more detail in the S3 shots, mainly because of the higher pixel count.

I think personally, the s3 camera is quite better. It has more tweaking you can do to get the shots you want. I really love the "Smile Shot" that takes a photo when it detects a smile or the fact you can say "Cheese" and it have take photos.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bgaccord:
those are really nice pics
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] c5satellite2:
S3 is same sensor as S2 from what I have read. One X is brand new backlit sensor, which is why it does so well in low light conditions. One X camera is best out there right now. And yes the f2.0 wider angle lens is pretty sweet also.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jmbradd:
Kind of weird, samsung has a photo relationship with pentax for their SLR's and these comparison pics look a lot like those between pentax and canikon SLR's. On auto settings the pentax/samsung favor darker and less saturated compared to brighter/punchier exposures on auto settings with canon or nikon. All a matter of preference just weird to see the same sort of thing happening here.

Will be fun to play with when I finally upgrade from this cracked captivate
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] robamacaf:
The sensor is an upgraded iphone 4s sensor
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] c5satellite2:
Are you sure about the camera sensor. I read a review last week that it was same sensor design as s2 but upgraded software. Not saying you aren't correct, just want to figure out which one it has.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] robamacaf:
From the tear down videos/sites that I have seen they have said improved iphone 4s, try to Google it and see what they say, I might be wrong too but I'm going off the info I've seen on my rss feeds and Google searches
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bruce Lee:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_...era-versus-htc-one-x-iphone-4s/?tag=cnetRiver

read this camera comparison article for s3 and others.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] robamacaf:
I think that comparison is pretty spot on. You can tell from the comparisons that no phone holds the win every time. They are all great phones with great cameras.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stan.s:
There's a review of the phone that mentioned that the HDR mode was the only good shots and those are really nice.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sacliv:
wow i love your shots. THanks so much for doing this. I think in normal conditions from all the reviews and shots i've seen, the galaxy s3's photos look washed out, but it seems like with some settings it can be adjusted for. Does this affect the low light shots? (make them worse?)

These forums and the other Android communities are full of useful information and people attempting to be helpful in their own special way. Personally I have limited experience with android and it's development, but I'm not an idiot, even if people like myself have been treated as such for simply not knowing what x or y is.

It took me hours of web trawling to finally find a newb friendly guide (or rather several) and in the end it wasn't even located on this forum. This is not to say that people here aren't nice or helpful, it's just that a vocal minority seem to look down their noses on anyone new or unschooled.

Guide to S-offing using AlphaRev:

1. Back up etc to begin with (try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459830 Nandroid)

2. Download AlphaRev 1.8 http://alpharev.nl/ to your computer

3. Alpha rev is a linux mini OS style tool which, when booted into, automatically S-off's your device.

I found that the easiest method for me (not having a spare USB or CD around) was to use virtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

When installed click new, and follow the process through (creating a new HD drive in the process). AlphaRev needs next to no resources so don't bother creating a huge virtual box. When this is done click start; you will next be asked to select the boot device, select the folder icon and click the alphaRev.iso you downloaded earlier.

4. Drive and press any key when prompted.

5. If you get asked whether you also want to flash the custom ClockworkMod AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.8, select ‘yes’

6. Plug in your phone via USB (making sure USB debugging is enabled: Settings>Applications>Developments> Tick USB debugging). As this is a virtual machine we'll need to click the devices tab>USB> and then every time our Phone is unticked, retick it.

7. Simply watch the process and then you're done.

My truck stereo supports bluetooth audio, and I have a Jawbone Era. My phone auto connects to truck when I get in. If I turn my Era on, it can't connect to phone until I shut truck stereo off. Vice versa as well.

My iPhone 4 could connect to both at same time, and so could my even older blackberry. This allows me to listen to music on on, and take calls on the other if I wish.

How do I enable this on my HOX?
[HTC One X] sheamus:
Is this and android limitation, or an HTC limitation?
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
You can only have one profile active at a time. If your truck and headset both use the handsfree profile, you'll have to turn it off for the truck so you can connect to the headset.

My car only uses the a2dp profile, but when I connect it to my headset too it only uses my car's a2dp and not my headset's a2dp.
[HTC One X] sheamus:
Ok that makes sense, thanks.

Can I choose which device gets access to that profile, like on the iPhone, or is it always first come, first serve?
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
In your bluetooth setting menu next to each device you can long press on an entry and choose options to disable a specific profile.

When I going to blue tooth devices, I see my devices. Long press does nothing, but clicking on the button beside I can see the profiles.

View attachment 1185191View attachment 1185191

But when I try to unchecked a profile it just tries to connect to using that profile. Long press doesn't seem to work here either. Maybe I have to be connected to the device to disable the profile.

I am on the right track now, thanks.
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Oh yeah, sorry long press was Gingerbread
[HTC One X] sheamus:
Yep, you have to be conn cted to the device before it will let you disable a profile.
