Cheers to deleting bloatware!

I owe to you guys and especially for your patience and making this as easily understood for someone without a whole lot of tech knowledge...This thread should be stickied "Noobs with a S-on hboot 1.58 CDMA 3vo, READ THIS"

Now I'm just curious to know what else I am capable of doing now with s-off....I'm guessing overclocking the CPU/APU is now possible?
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
Yep, over clocking is possible. Jellybean roms are possible. PACman rom is fun! Many customizations.

Make sure you ask before going there as Jellybean Tom's require an hboot change and you can easily get stuck in a bootloop in the process.

Possibilities are endless really. You literally have full control over your phone.

Titanium backup. Backup your apps and data. When you get a new phone, root and restore your app data. Never start fresh with an app again. No losing game progress, etc.

Full image backup of the device via recovery.

Flash software/android updates that never made it to the device.

Change boot animation or really any customizations you want.

You're in full and total control!

You did the heavy lifting on this one, sir. A big thanks to you as well!!
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
So ROMs are flashed from the 4ext recovery? What is a good one you might suggest I can plug in and play around with right now with my current build? I think I'll try the one grimm suggested NegaLite-BluRom

"Full Wipe Recommended for first time fresh install".... what exactly do I need to wipe? I need to format the internal and sd storage before flashing that rom?

Also, might sound like a dumb question but how to I backup my current ROM first? Or did the 4ext recovery already take care of that?

OH and is there a pre-prepared list of system apps which are safe/recommended to delete from 4.0.3 ICS on this phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
I don't really have any rom suggestions for ice cream sandwich. I didn't particularly like ice cream sandwich so I used a gingerbread rom for a bit and then I started using PACman rom. It was my favorite of all the jellybean roms I tried. There are so many different flavors, it's hard to say what will suit you best. Great thing is, with a backup you can easily try them all without worry. Remember though, that jellybean roms require a downgraded hboot. Flashing a jellybean rom right now would put you in a boot loop.

Yes you flash roms from 4ext recovery. You install the zip just like you did with superSU.

As far as wiping, you always want to start clean with a new rom. Use the option in 4ext to "wipe all partitions except SD card". You never want to wipe your SD card, then you wouldn't have a rom to install. You'd also lose all your pictures and music.

For backups, just use the backup menu within 4ext. Usually it's enough to backup system, data and boot. Those are the only ones I ever backup unless I specifically need to back something else up for whatever reason. If you do this and something goes wrong with your rom flash, you can restore that backup and it's like nothing ever happened. Oh, and if you wipe SD card, you would lose your backups as well.

As for a list, I'm unsure about that... If someone has made one, I haven't seen it. I'm pretty sure you can get rid of all of the sprint apps that come on the phone.

Otto323,

You really, really need to look over my HTC Unlock/Recovery/ROM flashing thread which may answer a lot of basic questions for you (ignore the HTC Unlock stuff since you are s-off)

If I recall correctly, I even have a screenshot/list of stock apps I removed somewhere in one of my threads (maybe under Mikeyxda's old Meanrom ICS thread).

[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
Installing Negalite r121 now...thanks but I don't think I will be needing that since it lets you choose which of that crap you want keep before installing!

I also overclocked 1 step to 1.58ghz I believe. there were two more above it, extreme and maxed

The first two options I was unsure about but went with the first options. Rosie workspace 4x4 and something else...
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
Oh and am I able to rerun the ROM without wiping if I want to change some settings? Like performance graphics V-sync I left off when I think I should have it on.

ALSO voice recognition is not working in Negalite
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Updated previous post with screenshot of removed apps from ICS.

Rosie is HTC's Homescreen App/Launcher. You can replace it with Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher or Similar. Can't recall all the Aroma Options. Any issues/questions with NegaLite will need posted in that Rom's thread. I bet there are newer releases than r121, so perhaps it is fixed.
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
Liking Apex so far...I liked Sense too but I reran the zip to modify for vsync and graphics performance. There were a couple more aromas there to try but I will have to start fresh again organizing everything...unless there is a way to change the aroma theme without affecting your system settings..
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
Have to say thanks again to you guys(Brian and Grimm) for all the help.

Am now set up with BluRom sense overlocked to 1.58mhz. All tweaked to my likings using the system/kernel tuner apps that come with the BluRom. Buttered toast kernel is great. Blazing fast phone. Loving it!

Entire thread; S-off, recovery and ROM summarized in post #1

Let me know if you spot any errors
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Good overall summary,

Possible issues:

- Should reference Unknownforce's Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 thread vs his outdated hboot 1.40 downgrade thread.

- The PG86IMG.zip you linked is the correct one for Bricking but it actually contains the 2.95.651.x (.5 or .6 ?) OTA update vs 2.17 fw which is why it works on the 2.95 FW.

May be worth copying the quote from Closeone for the Double brick/downgrade to the op, but good job overall.

Sent from my "Up All Night Sleep All Day" Nexus 5!
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
The bricking PG86IMG zip should be used if they are on MV 2.95 to start with? I would think 2.89 or higher?? MV 2.17 is very low, was that the highest OTA update in 2012 when unknowforces made his downgrade thread?

Unfamiliar with Closeone's double brick post...can you link me? But pretty sure I covered that in steps 3.(A)
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Never mind, I must be tired b/c what you've got now makes sense (The 2.95 OTA zip should work to brick any Main Version "older" than itself.), but the "downgrade.zip" you linked looks like it came from the old "downgrade tool" thread (where 2.17 was current) vs the new URT3.1 thread (2.89/2.95 and earlier).

(PS: can't recall if it's against the rules, but it's certainly "frowned on" to direct link someone's tool/kit for download vs just a link to the thread/post to get it).

I updated post 32 with quote links and file links as appropriate where the double brick was mentioned. Post 14 (dev host link to 2.89 zip) and post 52 summarizes the updates from 1.13 to 2.89 to 2.95 ota's.
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
I wasn't aware there was a URT 3.1 ultimate/LiveCD until now hahr...I mainly followed the older [downgrade] thread I guess. So the only difference is you run the ultimate file from the terminal in Linux, and select the downgrade option in the list.. Or just boot right up to the URT liveCD, no linux required??

I'll remove the download links and just mention where to find them
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
That PG86IMG.zip from the 2.95 OTA for the brick step is actually a bit difficult to locate since Unknownforce didn't update the link in his thread OP, and it was publicly available, so I would say its fair to direct link it. I linked/quoted where he posted it originally in the in post 14 if you want to quote the original.

Thanks again for taking the time to summarize everything in your OP for others. Good.

Sent from my "Up All Night Sleep All Day" Nexus 5!
[HTC EVO 3D] otto325:
Might want to check that again. The PG86IMG that unknownforce links in list of "Things you'll need"(Downgrade/Unbrick section) is the same one you linked in post #14. Identical name, size, and md5

I will link it up again in the summary tho
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
I am going to stop posting while I am tired. Too many links, keep missing things. Uggh.

Noob Alert!

WIth that alert being given, Can someone please help me in understanding the HTC's claim that they are not supporting the HOX+ and further updates have been stopped due to the lack of drivers for the Tegra 3 processor. If they are not able to provide the updates to HOX+ due to the said reason, how is it possible that ROMs like CM, PA and MOKEE are able to support his phone and treat us with the latest android release 4.4.4?

Thanks in advance!

An Android Enthusiast :cowboy:
[HTC One X+] jizang:
That is a common excuse used by HTC when they decide to stop supporting a device
[HTC One X+] animaleyes76:
Or in this case, actually the truth.

Blame Nvidia they are the ones that cancelled support for the One X(+) Tegra 3 chipset. Without the bsp's ANY manufacturer is unable to provide new updates.

The nexus 7 Tegra 3 is a different chip before anyone asks why it has support...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to reset the flash counter without using the screen/TriangleAway? Is there a way to do it using ADB or a PC? I can flash the stock ROM and stuff using the hardware buttons (hopefully) but I'm not certain about the flash counter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
The warranty bit can't be reset so after its triped its done
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] genghis___khan:
Sorry, what? Isn't that what TriangleAway does? Doesn't it clear the flash counter?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Yes it resets the flash count to 1 but it can't reset the Knox flag due to the efuse in the phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] genghis___khan:
Knox flag? Efuse? What are you talking about...?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] genghis___khan:
I bought it in December 2013. Does that mean I had the new bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
The galaxy s3 has a Knox flag aka warranty bit, that keeps track of warranty info. This is controlled by the efuse which after triped by a custom recovery/rom, can't be reset, the efuse is also what stops you from downgrading the bootloader to a older one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] genghis___khan:
8326

Thanks crazymonkey, I'm just wondering if I had it to begin with. I rooted it without even thinking about Knox or whatever because it was a replacement for another S3 (pre-Knox). You think I could take it to warranty anyways? It's a terrible hardware issue, the screen just died out on me. Did nothing to cause it, too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Sammy is pretty chill about warranty (at least in my experiences with them) they might replace it. They might not.....its not gunna hurt to try unless shipping is out the but where you live

And yes every rooting method will trip the flag except towel root

You're the first person I've heard to say that, hahaha

I'm going to go to a service center in person. There's a location near me. Hopefully that's okay. Should I flash stock recovery/ROM anyways? I currently have CWM and a custom recovery.

Could anyone help me out here?

I was watching the live stream for Android L's new "Material" design principle. I'm slightly disappointed because it looks like a direct copy of iOS 7. What are you guys's opinions? See the below webpage.

http://www.google.com/design/spec/animation/meaningful-transitions.html

See the third preview video under "Examples." Signal cluster, battery, and clock positioning are nearly identical to those of iOS 7.

This is Google's new design platform, and not Android's design platform. It is still strange why the iOS UI is there, though.

This screenshot maybe can explain Material Design is copy of ios or not, this app is path & path talk on kitkat. Kitkat support half of material design from L, before ios does.

Material design is design that split status bar, header and body to different accent color.

Just went to the page again and it seems that Google has edited the video so that the status bar no looks like iOS's. No idea what's going on here

have been trying to find a good external battery pack to charge up my wizard during flights/or at times when i cant find a wall plug or computer..

What do you guys use at such times?

The requirements that I feel it should have ae:

Necessary:

1. Should have high current output (>800mA-1000mA) so that itis able to charge wizard

2. Should have a standard usb port to output charge, so that it can be used with standard wizard cable and also for other devices as well (eg. ipod)

3. should be able to take 110-240v for charging itself so that itcan be used around the world.

4. Sufficient capacity to charge up wizard fully atleast twice (i.e. should be atleast around 2500mAH)

Nice to have:

1. DC output for devices that charge through DC like some other phones

2. Variable voltage output for different devices

3. should be small enough to carry easily, atleast in a small bag.

And it should not cost me an arm and a leg...that is, price should be arnd less than 50$...

Any suggestions?

Tried the app! Very promising! It's stylish and very fast! Thanks!

Can you please add an option to backup the contents to sdcard, and also a search function inside the app.

And why does the app needs to read my contacts? And make an option to download details from fb and then sign out. Now if I signout, I can no longer see the birthday list. Anyway promising app. :)

And I couldn't understand the name days, can you please make it in English. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] runningdap:
The app needs access to your contacts in order to read their birthdays and display them in the list (given you have birthdays stored in your device's contacts ofc :P).

Since you get some goodies when you are logged in via Facebook, such as send a facebook message or open their wall, the app requires you to be logged in. But I'll look into your suggestion, and see what I can do!

Lastly, search is coming in a later update of the app. This and the ability to manually add entries into the app is two of the most important feature that need to be implemented!

Many thanks for the feedback!

PS: The app's namedays feature is currently supported only for Greek Orthodox names. How is the Play Store in terms of nameday apps for your country btw?
[Android Apps and Games] Rajesh_m:
Sorry for the very late reply..

Oh, I thought it only uses fb to get the birthday list.

In Greece, we celebrate each person's name in a set day(or days) of the year, so each person "celebrates" two times a year, one for their birthday and one for their name day :P It's some sort of tradition here

I am currently working on redesigning the app to match all requested features and needs I've got so far.

Since I'm pretty new on Android, I was really surprised that there is no system support for the Birthday's Calendar!

I'm currently testing 2 apps, your has the neatest interface! :good:

I have a few suggestions:

composed names with a blank inside (like mine Gian Maria) are shown with the first word only (in my case only Gian)

tapping an event will open the system Contact's app instead of asking which one to use when more than one is installed. I do use True Phone and other apps ask me which Contact's app should be used

showing all the nameday (latest feature added!) should be a user selection into the configuration...

Addendum: I didn't found the widget on my MotoG with Lollipop...
[Android Apps and Games] runningdap:
Thank you for the suggestions mate!

1) Is 'Gian Maria' a first name of a contact or a full name?

2) I'll have a look at that app. They I did that should open the contact details with any related app installed. Could you please mention the names of the other apps you have so that I can test it out? EDIT: I see what you mean. I am assuming that you are using Lolipop? I am using something that is called Quick Contact Badge. In earlier versions of Android that badge looked different compared to the built-in contacts app, and hence the confusion. Already changed in the next update.

3) I agree, and will be available in the next update :)

About the widget, some people have reported issues with the widget, so it is under investigation. For the time being, please make sure the app is installed in the device's memory and not in the SD card (some people tend to forget that :P )
[Android Apps and Games] GCalzo:
1) Yes, it's saved as "First Name", so two words in one field... ;)

2) Yes, my MotoG 2014 is running Lollipop and I confirm that now it opens TP's Contact app! :good: (running v1.9.2)

Yes, the app is on the internal memory. BTW Lollipop does enable the option to move it to SD... :) I think there is an attribute to set so to not let the user move it, I have a few apps like that with the move to SD button disabled.
