The answer to bootloader unlocking is in the stickys, which if People read more it would reduce the amount of duplicate threads, and as for torrenting, I just don't see the point of doing it on a phone.

The answer I came across was try SE way 1st which I did and it said no hense the question. I did look alot and .. Know one had an answer to whether SEs' answer of no was final hense my post.

The test point method is in the stickys, but you know that now.

Not sure if many of you guys are aware of the Google Now search option but it is something similar to Siri. I have this running on Viper 4G and its working pretty well. Also I'm not to sure how often that thread gets updated so I posted the link to the Member that uploaded the flashable zip file.

40 Cool Voice Searches

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHkhp6BwnGo

Hit the thanks button if you like!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Indeed, I feel like Now is something I actually will use as when Siri came out I was like "meh". I have a Nexus 7 and I instinctively ask questions to it instead of searching by text like I normally do. The first time I did this shocked me because I never thought I would be using voice search in this streamlined fashion (not to mention how quick it is).

I know they added a pseudo-voice search for that app now and it's okay but the real thing is awesome. If you can afford to do a nandorid backup and flashing the CM10 build that can be found in the IRC channel -- do it. Just to see how fluid and fast the voice search is. Not to mention how life-like the voice is :eek:

EDIT: FORGET WHAT I SAID. Voice search is now working 100% now! Check out the video I made (if you can stand my foreign accent) of the Nexus 7 and our Evo performing side by side:

IT isnt "something similar to siri"....... it runs circles around it !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
I've been using it for the last couple of days and it's pretty cool. I have my GPS/location icon hidden in Viper 4G but by looking at the battery usage on my phone, I have a feeling it may be using GPS more often than I'd like. I may have to unhide the icon and watch it. When I had GPS off, it started giving me weather for somewhere in California when I asked how the weather was :laugh:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ecko72:
does any one known if this hack will work with the meanroom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DGreen1:
Im sure it will.. Just do a backup just in case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DB13:
You should just flash CM10 problem solved
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
I used the APKs previously and have now flashed the new Zip that was recently provided. Working for a couple of weeks now, flawlessly, on xHausx's deodexed ROM, which includes the latest OTA fixes, etc.

It's FAR better than Siri-us Crapware on the iFail.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DGreen1:
Where is the link for that rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I'm not DB13, but you can find the download for CM10 in

IRC

. It's pretty close to daily driver status for most folks, but I was having a couple of small problems that I couldn't overlook and didn't have the time to figure them out. It's certainly worth the time to flash and play around with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Wait,did they finally get voice working?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DGreen1:
Yes they did.... Working pretty darn good!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crzycrkr:
Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Voice with the crazy workaround, right? Not native voice input.

Any ways, I was using this for a few days on the stock ROM. I ran into problem with performance and crashing issues afterwards, so I took GoogleNow back off.

It probably would work better on a non-stock/non-SenseUI ROM, but it caused issues for me!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
So did you just flash the zip in recovery or did you have to do all the name changing and permission setting?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowery23:
I'm running this on the Viper4G ROM also. I was able to just flash the zip from recovery and it has been working fine. I've been able to do searches, it's been alerting me for baseball scores and giving me navigation updates when I get off of work. HTH
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I flashed it in recovery as well (Mean 2.6) and it's working beautifully. I did, however, do a nandroid just in case. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Septro:
Same here. Voice prompts and response is great. Only issue is general web search response shows a blank card until you swipe up/down and the results then pop in. Small issue but the voice interaction is top-notched!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
So even though the flashable zip says aosp its working good in mean Rom?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
Can someone post the zip that works on the LTE, couldn't find on xda app.

Also, if I read correctly this doesn't break voice search BUT it doesn't work from the google search bar voice button anymore?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
http://udz2002.x11s.org/Google-Now-v6-signed.zip
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] indiscriminant:
Once you flash the zip, the google search bar thing goes from black to white. The voice search straight from there worked for me, just tested it again to verify.

The one bug I have noticed so far is as was mentioned, the web search shows up as a white screen so once it is there you just have to swipe your fingers up or down and then all the results appear.

I am on Mean 2.5, did a nandroid but so far hasn't broken anything and have been playing with it around the office for a few hours now.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Oh, also, sometimes it won't back out of the application with just the back button. Just press home since it is running in the background anyways.

I have seen no appreciable difference in battery usage either other than simply the fact the screen is on more so it obviously uses a tad. While screen is off it hasn't effected anything with it running in the background for me.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
I can do it with my Nexus 7 but only through voice commands that are natively built into the OS. I just tried to do it on both the Evo LTE AND on the Nexus 7 using a third party voice recorder and hitting 'enter' and it didn't work. So my guess is that it only works when you talk to the app directly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DGreen1:
Glad you guys are liking it. If someone can recommend a good free file host, I will upload the file in the original post tonight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
I could hardly get any of the voice commands to work. For example saying Play (song) always defaulted to a search as did many of the other commands. The ones that did work always asked me to confirm the action which seems like backwards progress from the existing voice commands IMO.

Edit: just for clarification I think it is a cool feature but not quite ready for my daily applications of it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Finally got it fully working great.

Sent from my EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheDoctor1971:
You have to say "listen to [song]" in order for that feature to work. It'll ask what you want to use to play it and you can then make that default.

The Nexus 7 user manual describes a lot of the commands and is available on google play.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Using it on Viper 4G ROM. Only complaint is that holding Multitask button, instead of multitask, it brings up Google Now. And holding Home button brings up old voice search. If I can remap those buttons, it would be awesome.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dman918:
Original thread is updated. Should we update to one of those new zips???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DGreen1:
I dont think it changed much. There still seems to be a tradeoff between which version you choose. I'm staying on the original one until it is fully ported or we get a stable jellybean rom. I will update the OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Mikeyxda's version 6 works flawlessly. It literally works just as well as the official Jellybean app. Here's a video I took of my Nexus 7 alongside my Evo:

[HTC EVO 3D] triscuit1983:
No. If your S-Off your S-Off. Once your done you can downgrade back to your 1.04 eng bootloader if you want. But from what I'm seeing ICS isn't working properly without the newest H-Boot. I haven't flashed any of this yet, but I've seen this stated for the past couple days.

[myTouch 4G General] Sorraia3:
Hi all I've been using my MT4G for a long time now, rooted and running CM7.1 with original kernel. Finally decided after all this time to flash a new kernel and update to 7.2 and have a few questions as I haven't made any root changes to it since first rooting...

1. Should I flash the ROM update or the new kernel first?

2.Obviously I'll do a nandroid and app backup, but I run S2E, will updating affect my SD-EXT settings and files?

3. I have a few apps that I used Titanium Backup to "convert to system apps" and then to "integrate updates of system apps into ROM." What will happen to these when I update to CM7.2?

3. I like to do thorough research before doing anything and was wondering if there is a list of kernels good for the MT4G when using CM7.2. Or if anyone has some good suggestions for the best kernels to improve battery and speed?

I've mostly decided to update now because lately my battery use for cell standby has been insane and I'm barely getting 4 hours out of it. It's looking for data signals constantly and I was told I need to update the PRL and that by using the latest CM and a new kernel I would fix this. Can someone please confirm this to be true so I know I am doing the right thing to fix my issues. Thanks.

Appreciate all the help, you guys are the best!

Jen
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
1. Install ROM before kernel. If you reboot before flashing the kernel, wipe cache and dalvik cache.

2. If you're using a script or any special settings you will need to redo these. Your sd-ext partition will only be affected if you wipe it, which you probably should.

3. Pull the apk's from system that you integrated and put them on your sd card. After installing your new ROM put them in system/app and change permissions to rw, r, r.

3 (Again?). For AOSP/CM7 GB use either thederekjay's kernel or the tiamat. Both are great. A simple google search of these names will garner useful results.

Yes, you're doing the right thing. Be sure you do a full wipe. I highly recommend using 4EXT Recovery.
[myTouch 4G General] romuloxiii:
i had a problem similar to yours with regards to battery life and i wish i could remember who to credit for this, but the suggestion was to only restore user apps from TBu and reconfigure system apps/settings to your desire. well, it worked and i have pretty awesome battery life.

for your kernel question i would have to agree that the thederekjay kernel for CM7 is a great choice.

[Motorola Photon 4G] lord dredd:
hello there !!! ssup :)

alright just got my Photon

will be used internationally over gsm networks for now .

the seller has actually rooted it and it comes with following details

superuser installed and root is working well

I donno if the bootloader is unlocked or not , is there a way to figure it ?

btw how does one goes to recovery on this phone.

there is already a prompt about the latest update which has got already downloaded and ready to be installed ( 45.4.13 ) - from what i have read this will lead to permalock on bootloader :P

what shoulod i do

coz i want to make this phone snappier and dont wanna lose root and dont want to update which might stuck me somewhere.

also which applications from sprint i should delete or disable - and how i can do that , i know on my fascinate i used to do that via titanium backup .

is there anything else thats recommended for better performance of this phone.

regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Don't take that update, and good job on actually reading in order to know that. Most people can't be bothered to read first...

You can tell you're unlocked by turning on your phone. It will say 'unlocked' up top when the Motorola logo is shown. If you don't use 4g, and you probably won't since you'll be overseas, I would definitely suggest unlocked the boot loader and getting a nice ROM installed.

If you want to make use of the update but still keep your unlocked bootloader, hybrid/cm7 ROM is right for you. Its completely deblurred and has insane battery life.

If you would like to stay stock but get rid of some sprint bloatware, and also make use of the update benefits and less lag, mof2.3.5 ROM will be good for you. Motoblur still intact. Essentially its the update but without permalock. No need to unlock either, just have bootstrap recovery installed.

Wanna completely get rid of everything Motorola and have everything still work flawlessly with an insane amount of customization options? Cm7.2 is where its at.

Want bleeding edge but can stand little bugs now and then? Go with any of our ICS or JB builds.

In order to get started, go read the compendium sticky. It contains everything you need.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lord dredd:
And I have been officially initiated into the big M now .

thankies

also whats with the lamish camera :P:P its really pathetic , any way to give it some juice and get it to click some good snaps ?

My samsung fascinate's 5MP camera is way too ahead in everything .

regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Glad I could help ya out! As far as the camera goes, you can try camera360 or procapture. Both take better photos than stock and have good editing options. There is a brand new app that just go released recently called Perfectly Clear (1 dollar) that has a ridiculous amount of features for editing your pics, all of which are automated. Some of which I have never seen in any other app of its kind. Really does work wonders.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lord dredd:
Thanks again.

One thing which is kin a strange and which o used yo see in older phones is the viewing angle

From certain angles the screen looks pretty faded and blurred as is the case in LCD television sets.

Is this normal with the pentile display or its just me

Regards

Buttery Smooth THS15 Deviled
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Yeah, pentile displays get a lot of hate. But honestly i dont think the viewing angle is 'that' bad. But perhaps its just something i've gotten used to. On the other hand, it is much less of a battery drain than most other displays on the market.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lord dredd:
from the compendium thread, i gathered this is the method of unlocking bootloader

just wanted to know if the above procedure as oulined by Loki and which is latest is the appropriate one coz the video that everyone has been linking to seems to be telling it all differently.

btw got the root-unlock-lock folder and everything seems to be in it.

so this means i can follow the above method on my rooted phone .

can anyone plz put some light.

really the phone is great ( apart from the camera , i hope moto fixes that in ics update ) but i need to unlock the bootloader to get going ,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftheworld:
Hey folks, I've been trying to get the Arduino Mega ADK to work with two of my devices and so far I'm been totally unsuccessful. Both my Nexus S and Nexus 7 seem to do nothing with connected to the Mega ADK.

So, here are the details and hopefully someone can help out.

First off, I'm experienced with Arduinos and µCs. I'm 100% sure that I've correctly compiled and flashed the demo sketch onto the ADK. In the serial monitor I can see that the ADK will boot and attempt to get the Android device to do something and fails (it tries this continually unless a device successfully enters accessory mode and responds).

Both these devices are supposed to have support for the ADK and I've checked the devices and both have the correct .xml and .jar files for doing so. However, I'm currently running CM10 on both devices and I'm wondering if perhaps the kernel doesn't have the accessory mode enabled or if there's another stumbling block inherent to CM10.

Doing some google research I see that certain updates (4.0.3) have broken ADK support in the past, so perhaps it's just a Jellybean issue? Is there a way of checking kernel options or flashing a kernel known to work? I'd like to narrow down some of the possible issues here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirLalala:
Hey mate!

I had the same issue, I fixed by using the library version 2 from labs.arduino.cc/ADK. You can download it directly from here: labs.arduino.cc/uploads/ADK/GettingStarted/ArduinoADK-beta-001.zip.

From what I've read the problem is that Android 4.1 uses adk version 2 and has some incompatibilities with the previous version.

Best,

Alex

PD) Sorry for not hotlinking can't do it yet with this account
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftheworld:
I've been using that version and still get no response from the Android device. I suppose I'll have to flash stock 4.1 and see if that works, Sadly there's very little proper documentation on this and not a lot of people seem interested in accessory mode devices.

Hi mate,

I hope that you are able to see this message. I have the similar issue. I tried using this version 2 of this library and when i compile the example code "demokil_20", i get the error " 'USB' does not name a type".

Please help me out here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbrown:
I got the same USB error. I haven't figured out the problem yet, but I was able to get another example from the version 2 adk library working with jelly bean. I think it was called termtime or something like that. It recognizes the phone the and will pop up saying theres an arduino accessory attached and there is no application to open for that accessory. You can change the example code to "Google" and "Demokit" to auto launch the Demokit.apk app.

I just got this arduino adk two days ago and only have one Android device, a Samsung Captivate with slimbean rom, to test it on.

I just ordered one and really excited. I have been researching and was torn over which tablet to get - balancing cost with performance and value.

To my surprised Woot made it very easy for me to decide. Payed extra for overnite shipping so it will be in my hands Monday for less than 300 bucks, brand new btw.
[Sony Tablet S] vobguy:
Since it includes the dock, I picked one up too. Not sure what I am going to do with it, but I already had free shipping for the day from buying something else.

Worse comes to worst , I could use it to replace the Chumby/Dash that doesn't work anymore. Though the lousy interface and overall experience with that still gave me pause; but still, the price seemed right.

Oh yea, forgot to add that it comes with cradle too.

Yes, the retail price took this tablet out of the running for me, but at 260 it is spot on...
