[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webby88:
So I rooted my EVO 4G LTE, hurray! I have a number of questions and after some tedious searching I could not find any clear and consise answers. There is just too much info out there, even the rooting was not so easy!

So I have three main issues; 1) Bloatware 2) A stuck OTA update 3) System error messages after each reboot.

Bloatware

Using ESFileExplorer and even TitaniumBackup(free) I attempted to uninstall a number of the apps that came pre-installed and that hog RAM. Each time I reboot they come back, some attempts to uninstall apps have sent the phone straight into reboot and all the apps came right back.

I am not looking to get rid of sense, this phone is a lifeline to my livelihood and its dependability is paramount, so I would like to remain as stock as possible. I just want to free it up so that it runs a bit better and less laggy.

My task manager app shows that 0.89/1.0GB is is use and that is ridicules!

OTA Update

Sometime after rooting (this was a brand new replacement device when I started) the 3.17.651.5 update got downloaded and is now showing up all the time asking to do the actual installation. Is there any way to delete the update files and prevent the message from popping up all the time?

Reboot Error

This is just really a minor nuisance, but while we are at it I figure why not ask. After each reboot since rooting I get a System Error Message saying something like 'the phone experienced an abnormal reboot'. Any way to prevent it from doing that?

Misc

Also, I cannot seem to find any instructions (that are relevant to today, all are from 2012 and early 2013) for allowing the EVO to act as a WiFi hotspot. Any tips?

Thank you all for this great resource and in advance for all your help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You need to S-OFF. Your system is write protected, which is why when you reboot, the apps return. I'd honestly also recommend updating to the data/media partition layout and then achieving S-OFF with Rumrunner. Once you're S-OFF, everything will work fine, and as a bonus you'll have Sense 5 ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webby88:
I just figured the S-OFF out thanks to exhaustive Google searches, now I am seeing your post about partitions and I am not sure what you are talking about.

How do I update partitions? Do I have to do that before I use the rumrunner exploit to gain S-OFF?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
All you have to do is run the 4.13.651.4 RUU. [MENTION=4738854]Magnum_Enforcer[/MENTION] has a guide that I believe will assist you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webby88:
This Post?

This will simply give me JellyBean and Sense 5? Also, will I loose root? Weren't there major problems with this update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
That's the guide he's referring to, yes. Just scroll down to the section on RUU's for more info. Link to the aforementioned RUU is at the bottom of the first post. You will lose root but you can use HTC Dev to unlock and root again, and no, there were not major problems with this update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webby88:
Aha, but why did HTC pull it then?

Also, will this resolve my stuck 'update pending' issue? And will I loose data? Will my installed TWRP recovery be an issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
It was never pulled, per se, but it was never released to the masses, either. The issue was how Android 4.3 was implemented on this device-that it required a RUU instead of a traditional OTA update, which is somewhat unusual but that's how the update had to be handled due to the internal storage getting re-partitioned. Anything you have on your internal storage you'll need to back up to your computer because it will be lost when the RUU runs. Also, TWRP won't be an issue. Just reinstall the modified version from [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] once you've updated with the RUU (you can click on the TWRP version number in his sig & it will take you to the appropriate link).

Note that there were issues with the initial Android 4.3 updates but they were resolved with the .4 RUU, which is why I don't have links to any of the previous RUU's. The issue was with the roaming option, mostly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webby88:
Ok, I get it. Thanks for taking the time to explain this!

One more question though, I see in your post a link to 4.13.651.4, but I see another thread from [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] here which mentions a Odex or Deodex - what is that? And all those useful mods (battery percentage, camera shutter sound, power menu, 30 step volume etc etc), which should I use?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
He has rooted odex & deodexed ROM's based off the RUU. If you want to install any mods you'll need to run the deodexed version.

so I have been clash of clans(online game) on my android device but i didnt sign in to google+ for backup.Unfortunately it looks like I did a factory reset by mistake and all my progress is now gone.Is there any possible way to recover my data eventhough I did a factory reset without a previous backup? please help
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Unless you signed up for another backup service I'm affraid you can't get your data back.

Sorry about your game save
[General Questions and Answers] omarissa:
what about recovery programs?
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Sorry, probably the wrong way to describe the service.

I mean services like Google+ such as an online account service. An example of this would be Facebook as they backup game data

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthieusimon:
Hi there. I promised my girlfriend to make her Samsung Galaxy S2 work again. The thing is, suddenly it won't charge. After trying several different chargers did I bought a new battery. But it didn't work either. Then I bought a new USB charging port and replaced it yesterday. After I plugged in the Charger, the screen shows the charging batteri screen for a couple of seconds and the went black. Then there was no power at all. I tried the other battery, I tried to make sure everything was as it should be inside on the motherboard.

Please help me..

I tried to make a hard reset but it didn't start op of course because the battery has no juice. I tried to unplug the battery for 10 seconds, then I plugged the charger in and afterwards the battery, but still no sign of power.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conny84:
Hm... you should always be able to start the phone via charger, otherwise something is severly broken.

My advice: Get your girlfriend a new phone or rather take her out for a nice dinner!

It's cheaper and you'll have a great time, hopefully.

PS Get the money back for USB charging port and battery. Women are a really terrible influence on men.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMMaroko:
Hi, i am having similar situation, but i would like to be sure, its definitelly dead. What's different in my case, i was using CM 11 M8 and updated to M9 the day it was released, no problem with booting, just to the moment, when battery dropped to 0% and phone turned off. When i plugged it in, i was there - nothing, black screen, no access do download or CMW mode, tried other battery but no luck.

I just dont understand what has happened, that simple update can kill the phone or what?

Has anyone used a Clingo screen mount

http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-car-phone-mount/

I'm tempted but not sure on how well the magical fixing works on the glass back!
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
Hello Guys! :)

I have been working a lot fixing the bugs and the incorrect fonts of the boot animation of the Android BIOS I made.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. :(

Many of you loved it though but due to incorrect font it many were disappointed.

Well I have made it a LOT better :D

Now you can enjoy two bootanimations mixed! :D

Thanks to @tj_droid for allowing me to port his watchdogs bootanimation into mine. :)

I have made it a lot better and great for you all ;)

I have made many changes and most importantly fixed the FONT ISSUE!

NOW ENJOY the HD BIOS bootanimation ;)

I have provided 7 screenshots of how the boot animation looks like. Many asked for original one not to be altered so didn't do much change in that but there is much more you can imagine ;) Don't make me kill the suspence :D Check it out NOW!

Warning

Before flashing this zip manually backup your stock bootanimation by going to root directory of your phone via root explorer then go to /system/media and there you will find your current bootanimation.zip file. Just copy it and save it someplace safe in case you want to go back to your stock animation.

I loved your boot animation. How do I install it?

Another great news is that from now on

ALL OF MY BOOTANIMATIONS WILL BE FLASHABLE zip's

;) :D

Just download the bootanimation from the link I provided and then boot into CWM or TWRP locate the file you downloaded and then flash it ;)

Simple no ;)

CHANGELOG

V 2.0

Added new bootanimation screen
Fixed the FONT ERROR
Made the zip Flashable, now no need to do any crappy stuff's like downloading any software to install or locating bootanimation file manually and replacing it. ;)

Now the next thing I want to do is add sound in it :D;) But don't have any good sound clips matching this boot animation :p

If you have any ideas/file to share then please share a mp3 sound file of not more than 30-32 secs :)

Here is the download link : https://app.box.com/s/fchf9vkeoy4wg7u0q7b5

If you liked it then don't be shy from hitting thanks ;)

EDIT : Please do leave a reply, your opinion it's must..!
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Furrydaus:
Great improvement from the first boot animation! Can really see the change in graphics! :)
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
Yeah worked a lot on this
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Gamm86:
Font fixed? Nope... Still wrong! Everything should be in the font "fixedsys"

The whole idea of the BIOS boot screen you based yourself on is to keep it as original as possible, without all the "bling bling" that you have added.

The original is nice to add a nostalgic touch to your phone. This one just looks amateuristic and non-coherent.

This is how it should look like...

[IMG="Boot screen"]http://oi62.tinypic.com/675x6q.jpg[/IMG]
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Gamm86:
Proper version is attached for those who like the

original end 90's - early 2000 look

.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
You gotta learn dude. I don't copy the bootanimations.

Original 90's is my base if Ii could have wanted I could make this old crap to b in work.

My main aim is to keep the original as BASE and modify it to as better as I can!

Hope you understood.

Creating every frame and designing it takes crap out of you! If you made this original bootanimation then comment here don't just show off on "someone else's" creation
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Gamm86:
If you had thoroughly looked at the file I attached you would have seen that

every frame

has been modified!

Totally different from the original file. Not only dimension wise but the text aswell.

And atleast mine has the correct font, unlike what you claim to have...

I was trying to help you when posting mine in your previous thread. Even now, I mentioned the name of the font once again.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] vwadam:
Very nice bootanimaton :D my problem is only showing 4.3 OS when i have 4.4.4 :P
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
Haha sorry I actually run 4.3 so I made it 4.3 :P

Anyways thanks for your suggestion next of this bootanimation would be 4.4 :D
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
Hit thanks if u liked this bootanimation ;)
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
Did you make this bootanimation? If yes then you keep the authoritiy to say you own this. I created this bootanimation and I kept my own font which I preferred. If you want to share your bootanimation start a new thread don't do that here
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Tech N You:
Haha Sorry I actually use 4.3 JB so I made it accordingly :P

Anyways glad you liked it :)

hit thanks :)

It does see sattelites but just does not fix. I tried the gps restore option in gpsstatus but nothing happend.

I also tried going back to stock rom(backup of original) and that seems to solve the whole gps problem.

[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Anyone have any of the SUPCASE Cases?

I am looking at the

Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case (Frost Clear/Gray)

http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-LG-G3...TF8&qid=1407151419&sr=8-7&keywords=lg+g3+case

Unicorn Beetle PRO Series Full-body Hybrid Protective Case

http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Case-...TF8&qid=1407161034&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+g3+case

I have the Spigen Slim Armor now but its too slippery and the back scratches easily.

The bigger cut outs of the back buttons on the SUPCASE look like they would be better then how the SlimArmor is setup.

Can any provide any pictures of theres and how they like it? Or if they bought one but ended up not liking it and getting something else?
[G3 Accessories] bkrickles:
I received the first one you mention on Friday (clear/black) and I love it.

The fit is tight and the cut outs are perfect. It keeps the phone pretty slim and looks great with the clear back.

I had a similar case for my galaxy s4 from poetic and it was just a great look for me.

If you're rough with your phone and it gets banged around alot or dropped alot, then this might not be for you.

It offers average protection, which is good for me 90% of the time as I work in an office or I'm in my car.

For slightly better protection I bought the verus iron shield which I should be receiving today and am very excited about.

It also looks great and will protect my g3 a little better on the weekends.

Anyway, I do highly recommend the supcase after a few short days and the price is pretty good too.

As far as pics, the ones on amazon do it justice.

Hope this helps. There are many good cases and you won't do wrong with any of them.
[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Thanks for the input.I was looking at the Versus Thor case also but some reviews said it affects signal. And the back button cut out on is tight like on the slim armor and that kinda bothers me..The supcase button cuts are larger which i think would be better
[G3 Accessories] bkrickles:
I'll let you know about the verus as I'll have it this afternoon.

I read the same about signal but I also read in more places that it wasn't true.

The video reviews on youtube really sold it for me an hopefully I like it as much as I think I will.

Take it easy.
[G3 Accessories] lexluthor:
I have the first one and agree with bkrickels.

I might prefer something a little thinner, but this certainly isn't bulky. No complaints on the back buttons with this.

Definitely no issue with signal. I can keep a call up every time driving on this one road that my GS3 dropped the call on every time.

I do hope Qi works through this case. I'll probably know that next week when my sticker comes.
[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Back button complaint was on the Verus Case and my slim armor..signal issues was geared towards reviews on the Verus case
[G3 Accessories] JustLok:
I got the Unicorn Beetle and so far I like it. It has a good feel in your hands but it does add some bulk to the rear of the phone. It is a somewhat thick case and does add some mm onto the phone and weight.

I forget how much it does so until I remove the case and feel how light and thin the G3 actually is.

It does offer some great protection and this case WILL NOT bounce or fall apart during a fall or impact. The G3 fits impressively nice and snug in its case.

It is a PITA to remove the phone though, this thing is practically cemented in but once you know how to get it off, but just doesn't take as long but still is hard to do so.

It does come with a built in screen protector but I didn't need it because I had a tempered glass one installed. So I removed it and then had to spend half an hour removing all the glue that was holding it in place. The damn protector just pops out and leaves ALL its glue and adhesive on the inside of the front section of the case.

I used Goo Gone, thinner, hot water and soap and I still had to scrub it off. What a PITA...

But, I need a rough and tumble case for my job and the Unicorn does it.

Just be forewarned, it does add a bit of bulk and weight to the phone but it feels good holding it and! It has its corners notched off, giving it a Galactica prop like effect. :cool:
[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Thanks for the info..This Unicorn Beetle PRO Serie is case I am leaning towards..On my past phones Glaxay Nexus and Note 2 i used Otterbox defender and Seidio cases. So I would assume this adds about the same bulk.

Do you have any pics of the phone in the case or side by side to how much bulk it does add?

Also curious if the back scratches easy or holds up well.

I have a glass protector also so id be removing the bultin one
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
Ordered the Verus Thor from Amazon and I ended up sending it back. To me, it wasn't slim. It added some bulk to it. I have the Seidio Surface and I love it. Minimal bulk and still keeps near its original form factor.
[G3 Accessories] shawnten:
i have the one with the clear back and i had it on my m8 and it is one of the best cases out there.
[G3 Accessories] tee00max:
I just got my G3 on Friday and the first thing I did was go on Amazon and order the Clear/Black Supcase and temepered glass screen protector. They really make the best slim TPU style case. Nice and tight fitting, never had to worry about the material stretching on your like other TPU style cases. If there is a Supcase for my device im running it plus tempered glass and im good! Can't go wrong with it.
[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Not concerned with the case keeping a slim design..I'd rather have protection over looks
[G3 Accessories] tech_head:
Using a Supcase, black with black.

Slim and works fine with my tempered screen protector.
[G3 Accessories] oconnell84:
I'm rocking the Hybrid Case and love it. I've been an exclusive Spigen customer for years but their case had that cutout which turned me away. This Supcase has the same protection level and looks just as good. The clear back keeps the phones sharp look too. Highly recommend!
[G3 Accessories] BOOMHAUER1123:
I have the first one in gray/clear on my white G3. Looks good. Good protection. Have to agree on earlier post that it is difficult to remove phone from.

but the slimmer frost one is my daily.

I have one but found the straight edges make it a little uncomfortable to hold. I've gone back to the ultra slim gel case from eBay for about 2.99 feels great and noticeably lighter.

i have the slim sup case.

I like how tight fit it is, even though sides are soft, because fit is so tight, it doesn't move at all. really good case

i don't like how the back is so slippery.

[G3 Accessories] AshleyRenee79:
I have the first case you posted in clear with Gray edges. It looks great on my white phone. My only complaint is that the cut outs on the bottom are uncomfortable. When I am playing with my phone for a while. They irritate my pinkie.

I've got the Supcase Beetle Defense case. Used it for a few weeks but have now switched to a (fake) SlimArmor case - the Beetle just looked and felt so much bulkier, although I don't think there's that much difference between them in reality
