[EVO 4G Android Development] BenjRubenstein:
Sorry. I will clarify what I meant. I meant that Cyanogen used to issue OTA updates of his own ROMs to people who already have them (unless I'm mistaken). So my question was, similarly, if we used the AOSP build from Google, would we be able to get OTA updates from Google (like trick them into thinking our EVO was a diff phone). However, I think you answered my Q anyway, so thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] BenjRubenstein:
Does anyone think that due to the JIT + Sense issue, HTC will just turn JIT off? That would be a disaster for them...
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
honestly i don't even want to discuss htc sense because i hate it with a passion. we both are agreeing non htc sense roms will come first and thats all i care about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
nm...................
[EVO 4G Android Development] extrafuzzyllama:
the only thing i like about sense is the widgets other then that i truly hate it

i liked it much more bak when stock 1.5 and 1.6 android for me were not really nice looking graphic wise

but once 2.1 and now 2.2 came out the graphics and overall interface are really nice on the eyes and now i am completely bored and now pretty much hate sense
[EVO 4G Android Development] chagio:
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what to do with this superboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Why you change to NM, that wasn't the superboot for evo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
because its obvious u cant flash that as is. unless they have some sort of other files to go with it. its just a boot.img with su and superuser.apk in it. u cant flash a boot.img without a custom recovery or root for that matter so i was like "nm" i figured they had released it but that doesnt seem to be the case. i recon they will do their thing when its ready. from what i underatnd they are working on the recovery end of it now. root is useless without a custom recovery, unless u really wann push and rm files that bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I thought root was already accomplished but didn't want to release it too soon so htc won't come up with an update. if thats the case, superboot will be useful day one when they release the root process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
na prolly not. its suppose to be a one click root. i personally dont wanna see it released just yet out of fear it may stop root for those on the 4th. but i also know thats just my theory and i only think of it as a possibility. but if they do release it im not gonna go all "burn the church on them". ill update the forum that its been released as any other would. im actually curious as to if my kernel source will actually boott. its HTC **** so i assume it will and all the files seem to be intact except the microp for the wimax led and the camera flash was a little strange. but all in all it should boot. once i know it does ill start mergin OC and UV BFS and a gang load of other tweaks to my kernel source. but its my understanding that they havent figured out recovery yet, as its NAND protected. without that were kinda stuck :-/
[EVO 4G Android Development] extrafuzzyllama:
hey toast i was wondering if ur getting an evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fadakar:
Am I the only one that LIKES Sense? I mean, first of all it's aesthetically pleasing, second, it doesn't require you to ever use the phone icon from your home screen/app drawer. Third, it's default apps are way better than AOSP(browser had pinch to zoom before AOSP did, the clock app has way more features, the camera app has touch to zoom which is the sole reason why I don't use AOSP, etc.) HTC's done a pretty excellent job with Sense, sure I'd choose AOSP over Sense if it meant quicker updates, but we're stuck with it, might as well see the positives.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I had the desire camera on my nexus when I was running cyanogen rom, that doesn't require HTC sense, and their Widgets are better in your opinion, me personally I love what the devs have out there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I prefer AOSP for a number of reasons. Two of which are: I actually like the looks better and its a lot faster. I like squeezing every bit of juice out of my device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrozzeh:
None of the last 4 pages have been about root. Can someone lock this thread?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyleblakepeters:

Please keep this thread alive. I check it 4 times a day. Even though there is seldom real news, I have the x-mas morning feeling every time I look at my best buy gift card or the root threads.

Run Post #88, Run.

Rooting meas we can install apps that control system and radio functions. Probably an FM radio wakeup alarm if it doesn't have one. Tethering, flashlight, and other stuff that I don't know about because I'm an android virgin.

-Roger
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah at the moment the "root" we have is only on system and besides pushing and rm'n apk/files its pretty useless. we need a recovery for root to really mean anything. like flashing radios, roms, and spls. im hoping this comes together soon. i havent heard back from the devs on the current root project. but im still workin on nand exploit/gettin a recovery up with a few other people.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apristel:
try being less of a ****.

its ok i'm not madacha. Sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lineman78:
Do you guys think that this method, once released will work for both the incredible and hero 2.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
...

At this time, we believe that this specific exploit cannot be applied to Incredible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah no dice and unless we find a way to flash or boot a recovery itll be half root no dice for us :-/
[EVO 4G Android Development] lineman78:
If the method they used to protect the incredible was so effective, why do you think they didn't do the same for the Evo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
I know we have root in the system for a session and that's different then the incredible. The truth is HTC never does the same thing twice and that's what leads to exploits, and root. There is a way on every device. It's just finding what we need to do that is the issue. No device is unrootable, some just take more skill and time. I have no doubt that with enough determination we will get it. Have faith or what's the point :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
also the correct devs may not have that phone in hand. remember the evo was given out so all the devs that were at the google i/o got one, 3 of them banded together to create the root. those 3 don't have an incredible. All roots are different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BenjRubenstein:
In case anyone cares for an update on the EVO rooting process and why the guys aren't releasing it, a new post was made today on grack.com.

It says...
[EVO 4G Android Development] FuManChuu:
thanks for bringing this to our attention. I totally agree with the ideas behind witholding as well (still haven't googled adp, but it sounds like something I don't wanna deal with:O)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
ADB. It's a command line tool to access the shell inside your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrozzeh:
we have an incredible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roghaj:
Resistance is futile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
thx for the update !
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stramondroid:
I will purchase this phone from you. PM me, or email me

[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
It seems to me newsy that Verizon is more worried about root and the pressure HTC to better protect there phones I don't really think sprint cares they just want customers lol hence that's y the incredible is so well protected frm root just my theory though
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i see they have an incredible so you may be correct.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hmsheen10:
Yeah I agree.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emiromar:
So im not new to these phones but this is proly my frist post on here. Ive been able to master flashing and all that other stuff, but for some reason, after i connected my tilt to a buddies laptop, my phone said no sim. and ever since that sync it won't read my sim card. ive tried the paper trick, soft/hard resets/ flashing a new rom onto it.. ect.. and this getting that same insert sim. should i just be done with it and say its something internally wrong with it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Tried another sim?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emiromar:
going today to get another one, but its a new sim, maybe 2 months old

[EVO 4G General] da.bell:
That is great news and the guy doesn't want to say yet because Sprint/HTC will do an OTA update to block the ability to root it on June 4th.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
wow.. here we go..... :p
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
is that possible, if you have phone rooted, and carrier can revert or patch the hole? can you block the ota update?
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
it happens with iphone all the time....

and has happened in other electronics...

The new Official 2.1 for the Hero, that was released recently, has relocked the Hero.. and no one has been able to find a way to root it...yet. So all that have tried to use the Official update are stuck locked up.

Yes You can block and OTA update. Just Dont select that option in your menu!
[EVO 4G General] SeanFL:
Have people every considered that HTC might actually want the phone to be able to be rooted?

While there is the argument that Sprint will lose out on the tethering cash that (very few) people of technical ability might pay... they more than make up for it having a hot phone that every geek wants to get and customize. I will only buy a phone that can be rooted and customized from here on out...and I think HTC and Sprint know that.

Crazy idea?
[EVO 4G General] fazzy:
tooo goodddddddddddd i am already using EVO ITS simpleeee amazing i use to have iPhone

EVO isssss sooooo much betterr
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
The details of getting root are not being released ON PURPOSE. They don't want Sprint/HTC find out how to patch the hole before the phone is released. Sprint/HTC will try to patch it before it's officially released. Then when everyone has it in their hands, then the instructions can be given out.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
That make sense, but anyways, does it have to be rooted, i mean, so far the device seems to be awesome. I think the EVO will be rooted sooner or later, let's use it as is for a wile so when finally we can root it, will be like we have a new device, again!
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
I know most people are probably anxious to use the Wifi Hotspot feature, w/o paying the extra $30 to Sprint.. So rooting it would be 1st step to get this without paying extra.
[EVO 4G General] Toaplan:
You can do what you like I guess, but you can't stop everyone else...
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
That's not the point, the point is that a lot of people is talking about if will be rooted or not or if the instructions of how to rooted are gonna be given as soon as the phone is officially out, but regardless, you have to get the device as is, play with it make some calls and then go ahead and root it, don't get me wrong, i want mine rooted too but i will get the phone even IF there's no root available for it in the near future. I know i can not stop people for doing whatever they want, it's not what i meant, i just want to say the the main focus is the device it self, the rest will come alone, we only need to wait and search the forum.
[EVO 4G General] Treefallingquietly:
I want to dump all the sprint apps that are hogging up the memory. apps I would never use,ever.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
Agreed. Even jailbroken I was unable to remove some of the standard apps I never use on my iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
I have to admit that Sprint TV is pretty awesome.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
i always though the wifi/hotspot feature was an HTC feature not a sprint feature? tethering was the sprint feature though. i'm so confused. when we first started considering this phone it was advertised as having a wifi hotspot option and i assumed that was different then the tethering option.:confused:
[EVO 4G General] kmagn13:
With a Custom ROM you will be able to get rid of the sprint bloatware
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
Hotspot is a software that HTC/Sprint has put on the phone.

the data it access will be through Sprint 3G or 4G; which ever is available in your area.

Tethering is the acting of sharing data on your phone to other devices.

Wifi-tethering (with root access), using another app (ex: WifiTehter for Root Users) that takes Sprint Data and shares it with other devices. The Phone supports this function. this is an "ad-hoc" network and most devices can see this network. But some will not; for example my PS3 will not see "ad-hoc" networks. My TIVO, laptop, and ipad... can use it.

I think HotSpot app will show it as a "normal" network, so all devices should see it. I do not know this for sure, but it is my educated guess, because I have the Overdrive and it should be the same as Hotspot. My PS3 can use the Overdrive Device (Sprint's mobile Hotspot device).

hope that helps ;)

Hey guys sorry to be a total noob but we all have to start somewhere. I have preordered the evo from RS and this will be my first smart phone. I really have no exp with aps or what these phones can do.:confused:

Thanks again in advance. I apologize for my ignorance on this topic.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatnai:
great post for the Q&A section.

someone will correct my terminology, but "root" gives the user access to the base level of the system files so that they can be modified by the user and allow us to do things like flash custom roms and tweak settings, and much more.

well, welcome to the fold. Rooting an android device will allow you to use certain programs that will allow you to make backup images (in case something happens to your phone you can restore it to how it was), and run costumed ROMS (new flavors of Android usually taken from bits and pieces of other devices to make one super device lol ) I'm sure I'm missing other things but that's the main part, you will also be able to do functions of your phone *cough* tethering *cough* that are usually disabled by default.

Download Files

Download then email

Upload files

Take photo and upload

Delete Dropbox Files

Save Login/Session details

Copy/move files around dropbox

Create new Folder

Display account usage (numbers are there but a graph would be better)

What phone do you have there? (Im guessing the Topaz)

I think there is a problem with the Upload file/save file selection screens under that resolution, looking into a fix.

Thanks for the feedback tho, exactly what im after :)

Yes, Topaz. Looks very promising.:)

Edit: 0.3.9 rectify the display issue.

To the OP:

To fix the installation to SD card issue: Actually i was incorrect still looking for solution

Couple of suggestions: no popup keyboard symbol ...at least on my tp2. I use my popup more than my hardware keyboard so might want to look into that.

I am also sending you a pm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thanks for the Tip, i'll look into it tonight.

As for the popup keyboard, I wasnt too sure about it as i wanted the app to be full screen and since my Touch Pro is only VGA it needs all the room it can get. I'll have a think about it, maybe just have it for the login panel/inputs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:

Appear Im guessing on Textbox Click/Select but disappear...?

Any ideas from the keyboardless users?

Maybe a litte keyboard button next to or under the textboxes?

EDIT: I have added a button and uploaded a new version, feedback please...?

The camera upload runs in the background so it might take a bit.

as for uploading files, browse to where you want to upload the file in dropbox then press the upload button and select the file there.

obviously i have no way of knowing if it crashes for the same reason it did before - all i know is it crashes with the same error msg when trying to browse my online dropbox.

/edit: so when i realized i was unable to access my dropbox via your app i logged into the dropbox.com web interface and downloaded some files manually. then i tried droppedboxx again and it worked flawlessly... i don't get it. will keep an eye on it though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thanks for the heads up.

That would definately be a good feature to have...

Interesting... Could it have been a connection issue? (I need to fix a few crashes due to connectivity)
