[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
I didn't eveN think that ios had a real UI..if you wanna look like ios remove all widgets and just put a bunch of apps on your home screens..the battery thing you will get over..Trust me..and I don't know where u saw we won't get jellybean. I think that's hogwash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erichj:
Yeah the JB thing got me there for a second. Even if HTC decided not to release JB, someone, will release a build for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
JB isn't a huge leap like gingerbread to ICS was, even if that were true (which I doubt) that shouldn't deter you from getting this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
You prefer the iPhone UI? All you do is scroll through pages of apps. We call that the app drawer. Haha, everything else may be new to you, so I'm guessing you may not be taking advantage of the FAR more interesting UI of Android 4.0. Learn more, and you'll love it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Scaryghoul:
Indeed the camera and camcorder are spiffy ^^

It will get jelly bean.

Honestly, if you like the iphone gui you can probably just install another launcher or rom like MIUI once/if it gets stable.

The battery pull thing isn't that bad, and if you need to replace the battery with a new one, it is possible but it's a really involved process.

Here's where I can't really comfort you. You will most likely have to root this phone in order to stay happy with it. I thought I didn't need to because the speed and everything was so amazing and overwhelming at first, but I did. I'm not sure how much the OTA helped, but for now I believe you will be forced to root in order to compensate for the devices flaws(Wifi/3g stability & multitasking mainly). Rooting can help alleviate some of this pain and make it a strong daily driver though.

Once you root, you won't notice a large performance boost, mainly because on today's phones and our phone specifically it's powerful enough to handle most tasks already. Battery life won't change much either(I get a fairly solid day easily). Although you'll get a lot more stability out of your phone strangely.

I keep trying to tell my gf who has an iPhone 4s the same thing! They are boring as hell...not to mention very outdated... People spend money to upgrade from 4 to 4s for siri and NEVER USE IT...WTF??!! A waste of $200+
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
Yea ios to me is a joke..sure the apps are nice and it is super smooth but there is nothing else to it...I get bored with ios within minutes..if.I get tired of my phone I can do a complete overhaul and completely change the look of the UI..if all android had to do is scroll through apps on sure it would be just as responsive..although its getting pretty damn close
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
lol no official JB on the HTC EVO 4G LTE?? What kind of BS is that? whoever told you that is full of ish.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] semperlux:
Yeah… LOL! I thought I'd get flamed for complimenting IOS's GUI.

We're an Apple family (iPhones, iPods, MBPro, Mac Mini) and I'm the only Android user. What I mean by GUI is Apple's approach to simplicity and user fluidity. Those are all things that I liked when I used MIUI on my first EVO. It's not that I like the screens of cloned icons--yeah, that's boring. I just like how smooth everything works on iPhones and iPods--you can't deny it, it's buttery smooth! When designing user interfaces, it's often the little things that matter and Apple really seems to pay attention to that. I don't see the point of widgets, I get what they are but I don't find them useful enough to keep, like MIUI. The PANDORA widget works sometimes and I have to go into the app to remind it to play! LOL.

I'm not bashing Anrdroid or the EVO--I bought another one that I'd really like to keep. But I also appreciate what other manufacturers do. The EVO 4G LTE has fluidity in some ways especially when using Chrome--wow!

I Googled "EVO 4G LTE jelly bean" and found a bunch of posts at other android websites where some users expressed the EVO LTE might now get JB, too many to post.

Ok, thanks all for your replies--and yeah, I'll probably be rooting this phone if I keep it (probably will) just like all the other Androids I've rooted.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] codexv:
I have both now; evo lte and sIII. My impressions so far is that the build quality is vastly superior on the HTC. I also prefer the HTC screen, for its natural look and cleaner whites. The Samsung is much more responsive and virtually lag free. Either one is great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
please link some of these. otherwise its nothing but hogwash. you actually think a FLAGSHIP PHONE thats less than 2 months old wont get JB? Thats just crazy talk.

i googled " evo 4g lte jelly bean" and im 4 pages in. nothing about the phone NOT getting JB. You may be misreading or misunderstanding that people are saying they dont think the phone will get it ''this year'' or the phone wont get it until ''spring of next year'' But nowhere have I see it say ''no jellybean for the htc evo 4g lte'' so i do beg of you to post some links.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] semperlux:
:confused: I agree that it's crazy talk, but that's why I asked. I trust the opinions of the XDA community as its never let me down in the two years that I've been lurking and posting. I tried to find the one article that I read it on and now I can't find it. But that's ok... I believe the user may have been ranting about HTC+Sprint lagging on OTAs. Regardless, that's why I asked XDA.

:D LOL, it's looking less likely that I'm returning this device.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
There's a lot of fine-tuning you can do by modifying init.rc that is packed into uRamdisk in the boot partition.

In the Unix world to modify init.rc inside uRamdisk you would need to:

Use dd to strip the image header

Use gzip to expand the contents

Use cpio to separate it into files

Edit what you want in init.rc

Use cpio to combine the files

Use gzip to compress the contents

Use mkimage to wrap the contents

In the Windows world a command line utility simplifies this:

bootutil /v /x uRamdisk init.rc

Edit init.rc

bootutil /v /r uRamdisk init.rc

As always, be careful and make a backup.

Making a Clockwork Recovery update to restore the original uRamdisk might be a good idea.

Download bootutil.exe in the signature.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
Cool!

Now we will see real hard core modding! :highfive:
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
I've added delete to the operations of bootutil:

usage: bootutil image file [...]
/d delete files
/l list files
/r replace files
/x extract files
/v verbose
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Here's some ideas of what you can do with bootutil.

Install adbd in /system/bin and chmod 755 it.

Delete both sbin and sbin/adbd from uRamdisk.

Change the start of adbd in init.rc from /sbin/adbd to /system/bin/adbd

Trim the cruft from PATH in init.rc and make it only /system/bin

Delete the whole secton in init.rc for the /data/media/B&N Downloads

Add a mount point for USB drives right before the root gets ro in init.rc

Delete all that stuff for /sys/devices/platform/omapdss

Where/when/what did that ever exist?
[Nook Touch Android Development] siniy:
Renate, Thank you very much for your tool. I've been looking for a way to change mount point from /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard for a long time. With bootutil it's much easier.

How I did it:

1. Flash noogie.img to sdcard.

2. Boot from sdcard and connect NST to PC.

3. In partition manager assign letter to boot partition.(ex. MiniTool Partition Wizard)

4. Update mount points in init.rc at E:\uRamdisk with bootutil.(Don't forget to mkdir your mount points)

5. Remove letter from boot partition with partition manager.

6. Reboot NST.

7. Update mount points /system/etc/vold.conf
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
I've added more stuff and more flags to bootutil.exe

It won't make a lot of difference for modifying just init.rc,

but it will allow you to make your own ramdisks and insert files and symlinks.

usage: bootutil [flags] image file [file...]
/d delete files
/g group id
/i insert before
/l list files
/m file mode
/n new archive (name)
/r replace files
/s symlink (path)
/x extract files
/u user id
/v verbose

[b]# create 3 symlinks to busybox[/b]
bootutil /v uRamdisk /i /sbusybox date ls ps

[b]# insert adbd before stuff with chmod 755[/b]
bootutil /v uRamdisk /istuff system/bin/adbd /m755

When I try bootutil.exe on the uRamdisk from my boot directory, I get "Gzip signature not found."

When I try it on the uRamdisk from the binaries.zip file you linked to as a source for a good init, I get what you say I should get. The uRamdisk from my 1.2.1 updated, rooted NST is 182K. The uRamdisk that works is 168k. Should I look for another?

Dear Renate NST,

I used bootutil to modify uRamdisk , but i got "Image data CRC error".
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
The problem is that the CRC for the image data is wrong. :p

I don't know what tool made this file, but it's wrong.

The problem is that the "guts" of the file are 1/4 Meg but it's padded out to 1 Meg with zeroes.

Take your file and truncate it to 0x3d339 (250,681) in length.

There's a new bootutil.exe in the signature with less ambiguous error reporting.

C:\>bootutil /l ramdisk.uimg
Image data size error
C:\>modfile /t ramdisk.uimg 3d339
C:\>bootutil /l ramdisk.uimg

imgutil usage

Hi Renate,

I was just wondering about the usage of imgutil commands.

In the command Usage: imgutil [flags] image [file...], I would like to modify init.rc on uRamdisk. Do I simply type uRamdisk like above? Or is there a path I need to specify?

On my system under /proc/partitions I have:

179 16 1024 mmcblk0boot1

179 8 1024 mmcblk0boot0

and under /proc/mtd I have nothing

Will this be a problem?

Cheers,

Stephan
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
First: As general information, this is now called imgutil, uses (mostly?) the same arguments and is available in the signature below.

It has had improvements to make it more robust and it can deal with images with garbage on the end.

It also supports DTB, the device tree blob used on some newer devices.

I use this on many non-B&N devices, including Marshmallow.

[MENTION=7065627]stephangm[/MENTION]

You first have to get the raw image.

Depending on your device, it might be a file in a partition or a raw partition.

A file always has an explicit size, a partition has an explicit size too, but it's usually bigger than the actual image.

For instance, the NST uses a uRamdisk file inside the FAT partiton mmcblk0p1

The Glow Plus uses a combined kernel/ramdisk that's in the raw (emmc) partition mmcblk0p1

To get this, you might do something like:

C:\> adb shell
# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/p1.img
# ^D
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/p1.img
C:\> dir p1.img
--- 12 Megs or something
C:\> imgutil /v /x p1.img init.rc
C:\> myeditor init.rc
C:\> imgutil /v /r p1.img init.rc
C:\> dir p1.img
--- 7 Megs or something
C:\> adb push p1.img /sdcard
C:\> adb shell
# cat /sdcard/p1.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Note that when you first copy the file it will be the full size of the partition, that is, the image plus useless stuff at the end.

Once imgutil has modified it, it will be truncated to the useful size.

As far as figuring out which partition the boot one is, there are multiple ways, including fdisk, /proc, by-name or in the sysfs uevent.
[Nook Touch Android Development] gsms:
When i tried to use this command with imgutil (the new name for bootutil from Renate NST) on NST

"imgutil /l /v uRamdisk"

i received this message : Could not open uRamdisk ???

Secondly, copying this row of code :

"adb shell

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/p1.img"

i get this answer:

"cannot create /sdcard/p1.img, read-only file system"

Why these commands don't work as intended ???
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Probably because the file does not exist.

Those instruction were for the Glow Plus.

Since you haven't even copied over the uRamdisk from the NST, it makes the first part above even less sensible.

The NST has the uRamdisk as a file on the vfat on mmcblk0p1
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
There's a new version of imgutil.exe available in the signature.

The changes include the addition of the /a (append) flag and different behavior for the /i (insert) flag.

It no longer is necessary (or legal) to supply an argument to the /i flag.

/a puts all the files at the end of the archive in the order that they appear on the command line.

imgutil /a /v boot.img bats zebras cats

At the end of the archive would be bats, zebras, cats.

imgutil /i /v boot.img bats zebras cats

The three files would be inserted at the sorted position.

From a previous update, the /c flag allows you to change the command line that is fed to the kernel.
