[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Have you tried a different SD card? Or reformatting the cards, and then putting the PC36IMG.zip on it?

For the 2.18 HBOOT device, you need to flash the 4.67.651.3 RUU. For the 2.16 HBOOT, you need to flash the 4.54.651.1 (though the 4.67 should work for that one too).

Though, it is possible that the HBOOT 2.18 device has been updated to the latest software version (5.07.651.1), in which case, the 4.67 wouldn't work. But you should at least get a "Main Version is Older" message.

The key here is getting the files recognized by the bootloader. That Froyo RUU is way too old to work. So, try this one on either device (and think about trying a different, freshly FAT32-formatted SD card 8GB or larger).

There is a way to get into recovery on a stock EVO, but right now I can't recall how it's done. I wonder if that's how Sprint updates the phone (or fixes them) when a user has an issue like the one you're having? It wouldn't hurt to take at least one of the phones to a Sprint store and see if they can do anything for you. If they say anything about why they aren't on your account, you can just tell them you got them online and wasn't going to activate them until you got them working. Worth a shot, and it'll save you the headache of trying to troubleshoot the problem yourself.

Thank you so much for the reply.(Phone #2)I was using 2gb sd card and phone was not seeing PCIMG at all. No matter how I rename it. I just found 8gb sd card and put PC36IMG in it and my phone saw PCIMG and now it is updating.

I will post the results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
I'm still going to say that phone #1 isn't rooted, and phone #2 probably isn't, either, so the PC36IMG method won't work.

How do you get in to the stock Android recovery on the OG EVO?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidxrooting:
(phone #2)The whole process gone trough and it is still boot looping. I removed the battery/sd card. did reset to clean data. Still bootlooping.

I dont know if it matters or not the phone #2 now says ***Locked (OOW)*** now too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Try this with phone #2. Go into the bootloader menu and select 'Recovery'. The phone should go through a process that will take you to a black screen with a phone in the middle of it, if I remember correctly. From there, hit the power button once and see if it brings up the stock recovery menu. Let me know what you find and we'll go from there.

Umm, they work fine when they're official signed zip files from HTC, which they are.

Neither of the devices are rooted, so I'm having him flash the stock ROM through the bootloader.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidxrooting:
If I go to recovery. Both phones power cycle and keep looping.

***update***

Phone #2 did not get any results with PCIMG, Now I am trying latest RUU. Phone #1 did not get any better with PCIMG either. Even though both update process were successful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Sounds like the "bootloop of death" to me. If you can't even get to the stock recovery after updating to full stock, then I don't think there's anything we can do. Time to take 'em to Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
I thought with a locked bootloader it wouldn't matter if it was stock or not :confused:

It sounds like it. What sprint can do if no warranty?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You thought wrong. Like I said, the zips have to be signed by HTC, which official PC36IMG.zip ROM files are.

You can pay them $35 and they can fix your device (usually). But I'm not really sure how that works, to be honest.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] gogol:
Hi,

I saw some nice home screen design of Nexus 7, and it has modified app's icon.

How do you do that using the stock launcher?

Or is it not possible?

I remember that we can use "Desktop Visualizer" for example, but it is not compatible with Nexus 7.

The icon, that I got from the "Metro Station" is enlarged (see attachment, the one in the home screen).

My Nexus 7 is rooted if that can help.

But, I don't want to use other launcher :)

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Saenzscene:
Unfortunately on the stock launcher you cannot change the icons or use any icon packs. If you want to, it would require the use of a launcher. I use stock but when I feel like changing it up a bit, I use nova prime. Performance is not effected at all. Its worth a try.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] gogol:
Please see the screen shot attachment in the first post.

I don't think it detects the Nexus 7 resolution and dpi properly.

Fyi, my launcher and all settings are still stock. No hack, no dpi change.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Mwinggg:
i have it installed on my stock unrooted n7

just use a smaller icon if u dont like it being cut small or use "1x1 ss" widget
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jutt69:
I use Metro Station for my icons. Apex launcher let's you change the icons and they look perfect... Well actually the Metro Station ones are a bit low res.

What is this 1x1 ss widget?

I tried to search it on the play store, but I couldn't find it.

im interested to know what kind of icons those r love em. and i use apex launcher changes perfectly. dont know if theres a way to change icons in the app drawer though just on your homescreen and dock.

i made the dock icons using the icon base provided by dark matter icon pack found on deviart
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Just use any other Launcher and you can change any icon to any .png file you find online or in an icon pack. Or use a good photo editor and make your own.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] emmabellachristian:
thanks was mostly curious in your app launcher icon like it alot good job and thanks for heads up on dark matter icons i like darker stuff not bright things much appreciated thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jimmyamazingz:
You don't need to use another launcher. You just need to root and change the .png files.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kirkenjerk:
So I went to see The Offspring live tonight and attempted to record some of the parts of the show. The video is fine, no issues there, but the audio, holy crap does it suck. The bass overwhelms the mic and I cant hear anything but the pounding of the bass. Ill have a video up soon to show you guys what I mean.

In the meantime has someone experienced issues when recording a live show? And being pissed that the audio is so terrible? The iPhone 4S had no issues recording live shows. Everything was great. Maybe some tweaks or something I could install to fix the issue?

At the time of the show I was running Synergy Mod r72.

Edit: And here is the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7jap9R4Tao

Also youtubes upload process reduced the video quality massive amounts. But the original file is still 1080p.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iamsupreme:
If you're okay with audio only, Tape Machine is the best app on the market. I have the paid version and use it frequently. Robust options and high quality audio. Recorded the Thrice farewell concert at Marquee Theater and it sounds great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tlbland0426:
I would like to know the same as well. I went to the Uproar Festival on Saturday and the video recorded amazing but I too have the issue of all you can hear is the distored bass.

iPhone has a separate mic for shooting video

http://ipod.about.com/od/introductiontotheiphone/ss/Anatomy-Of-Iphone-4.htm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
We also have two mics.. one at the top of the phone and one at the bottom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kirkenjerk:
Is there a way to edit the audio in a computer program to make it more tolerable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] screwyluie:
That's not a bass issue, it's a volume issue, it is simply too loud for the microphone.

Try another app as the sensitivity settings can be changed by software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrewHulva:
The diaphragm of the mic can only handle so many dbspl before it produces maximum voltage and you clip. I would bet the mic is not made to handle the 120 dbspl or so the concert is at. Apple, in their infinite wisdom, probably made it to handle such a case... I think it's patent #80085
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightstalk3rs:
I too, as I'm sure a lot of people, have noticed audio recording quality issues at concerts. It could be one of the many things that everyone has said here, but whatever the issue is, I really want to try and find a solution or workaround or something.

I did some research and saw so many different reasons for why it could be happening, but I'm not sure anyone really knows. Is it just because the fact that I'm 5 inches away from the stage and my mic can't handle the volume? Is it ICS specific as I've heard some people say? (but I see OP is using CM10, so that's JB not ICS unless he switched to JB after recording the video.) I don't know, but I wish I did!

I was considering one of the external microphone rigs that i've seen people make for the Galaxy Nexus and other phones... or even just a separate audio recorder to use for sound while video taping, and then sync them together in post production.

I am going to link to a video I took from I show I went to over the weekend just to show you my similar clipping experience, mainly only from the bass. Once it's on YouTube I'll post it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
This is the issue, I feel.

At a loud concert, I can put my hand over the mic and the distortion goes down or away, but let the full loudness of that sound hit a small diaphragm and you'll lose resolution + it will be overwhelmed rather quickly, I feel.

Happens with all phones I've tried and even many video cams.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SotYPL:
The solution for clipping audio is called Voodoo Sound by Supercurio in the kernel but unfortunately us version of S3 doesn't have Wolfson dac so I think we are screwed. I've loved this future on my Fascinate with custom kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightstalk3rs:
That is not what I wanted to hear... ugh. There has to be some sort of solution. Maybe I'll try putting my fingers over the microphones next time I'm at a concert, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
Doesn't the video recording usually use the second mic for noise cancelling, or is that only for calls? That can REALLY f*** up music.

Also, I just thought it would be really cool if a video app could use the second mic in addition to the first in order to record stereo audio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightstalk3rs:
I'm trying to find if there is a way to decrease the microphone sensitivity, since Voodoo Sound is not compatible with US variants of the S3 due to lack of Wolfson DAC. Some people suggested using the headphones that came with the phone to record sound during video since the microphone on the headphones may be better. I also heard that putting your fingers over the microphone helps, but I'd have to try and see.

Here is a video I took recently at a show I went to over the weekend. I was literally inches away so I know that doesn't help my case. Skip to 1:10 to get to the louder portion.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] don_xvi:
Covering the microphone

I can tell you that covering the bottom microphone isn't sufficient to record loud events (but it helps). I didn't know there was a top microphone at the time. I might have an opportunity to try that this weekend.

Hi there,

Can't say much on your Q if your phone's going to be unlock if you flash the LRQ firmware but this much I can say. If you bought your phone lock originally to your carrier, upgrading it MIGHT lock your phone (not 100% sure though).

and YES the new LRQ firmware does have some touch of touchwiz UX (with some fancy Gallery 3D to match it with).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] m0jo:
When my Milestone connects to Wifi sometimes other devices in that same network seem to lose connection. This is even more likely to happen when downloading files or apps from google play.

When I disconnect the Phone from the network all other devices are reconnected.

Im running CM7.2.1, is also (i think less frequently) happened with CM7.2.0.

I have no special Wifi-settings. Everything is Auto. Wifi is encrypted with WPA2.

Does anyone have similar issues or knows how to fix this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] janosik47:
Last weekend I have connected 2 Samsung's (Galaxy S II) to the same network (dedicated 2.4GHz SSID for my mobile) as my Millestone (CM7.2.1) and all tree started to drop and reconnect continously for several hours, as the router (Netgear WNDR3700 running customized OpenWRT) started bringing the whole interface down and up. When I 'moved' my Milestone to other network all issues have gone ....

I am not sure if the issue has been related to a wrong network/router configutation/firmware or to the Samsung mobiles or finally to the Millestone soft/radio :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] shermanpat:
So i was playing around with diffrent DPI, i had it set to 160 and it worked great sure added a bunch of space. Then i went to try what it would look like at 140. Reboot and now the launcher will not startup. =(

So now I am lost in how to try and change the DPI setting or open any other app. I was able to open the browser from the keyboard shortcut and that is how i am posting now.

Any tips other than a full reset. I am running the 9.4.5.26 and am only rooted so far with some build prop edits.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shermanpat:
And 140 would make the text larger than 160 correct?

I saw someone say they set it to 200, wow that would be some tiny text if i am thinking right.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rambling1:
Install Nova Launcher via the market, it works across all the DPI I've tried.

160 resulted in text which was too small for my eyes, I ended up with 200, so halfway between the original 240 and 160.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shermanpat:
First off i would like to say that I should have not been playing around with stuff after a 20 hour work day!

So i soft bricked my device after only having it for 4 days. It will only get to the asus boot screen with the loading circle. I can't really remember what all i did. It is not seen when i do adb devices but the computer does make a connect sound when i plug it in.

Time to do a bunch of searching around to see what i can do, or if any of you can point me in the direction it would be greatly appreciated!
[Asus Transformer TF700] shermanpat:
Well I had to do a SD card reinstall of the os firmware. Time to just through all my set up hoops again.

To unlock or not to unlock that is the question...
[Asus Transformer TF700] shermanpat:
So what DPI's does the stock launcher work at. I just did 200 and it doesn't run.

(don't mind me i am just talking to the internet out loud)
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I think it's been said that the stock launcher doesn't work with other dpis. Next time load up an alternate launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
Are you still running the stock launcher? Because, if you are, the stock launcher tends to not work once you change the DPI.

You should first have a look at a 3rd party launcher (Go Launcher HD, Nova, etc.)

Change the DPI after setting up one of those launchers and you should be good to go!

That's okay! I know how frustrating it might be when no-one replies ;)

Luckily, a lot of the members of xda are really helpful and always try their best to spread their knowledge! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shermanpat:
When i set the dpi to 160 the stock launcher came up fine on first boot. but then did not work when i set to either 140 or 200. After i did the full reinstall i noticed a few ways that i could have gotten in and changed the build.prop file, but live and learn.

So far from the little i have tried other launchers I over all like the stock one.

Its nice to be able to have an android device that is not my phone that i have to make sure works all the time.

Bad Recovery

I'm thinking I completely ****ed up my phone, but someone please prove me wrong.

I flashed the ROM but it got stuck on the bootloading screen. So I rebooted into CWM and did a SYSTEM restore.

Problem is, I restored the system to when it did not have CWM flashed yet.

So now, it boots into the custom bootloading image and stays there. When I hold power+volume to reboot into CWM, it loads the original bootloading image (as expected) and gets stuck there because (I'm guessing?) I did not do a full restore.
