It works on AT&T at 3G speeds. It does bounce between 3G and HSPDA.

Great phone, but the small bugs are are starting to get annoying.

Still need to resolve:

MMS issue - Envelope with the red clock symbol is killing me. Even with tiny (10 - 50kb) images, it never sends a MMS.

Phone stays 'asleep' randomly - pressing the power button to wake the screen does nothing, screen stays black. Battery removal/insertion is my only fix for now (and that Battery cover is a *&^*&^ to remove sometimes)

Resolved:

Reply to SMS - Whenever I replied to SMS text messages, I'd get the envelope with the red clock (and the message never went out). It wasn't a signal issue because I could create a new text and out it'd go. Solution: My contacts are sync'ed with gmail and facebook. Stopped contact sync with facebook and now I can reply to incoming SMS messages without errors.

Root - could use this process (go to: modmymobile.com/forums/545-motorola-motoroi-milestone-tablet/552990-tutorial-motorola-xt701-root-more.html) or the App Universal Androot (go to: software2tech.com/2010/08/06/how-to-download-and-root-android-phone-with-universal-androot/). I went with the App.

Wishlist:

Froyo

Some sort of Taskbar on the bottom with Phone, Messages, on every page (kinda like a EVO, motoblur, something to make the decision to call out a 1-2 step process)

Updates

Still need to resolve:

* Froyo

* Froyo

Resolved:

* MMS NON-issue - No more red clock symbol. Deleted MMS account settings, rebooted, reapplied server settings, rebooted, and it works! FLAWLESS.

* ADW Launcher App works wonders - Solved my last issue (Some sort of Taskbar on the bottom with Phone, Messages, on every page)

* Picked up the OTA update for 2.1 (do it over wifi) - Phone sleeping issue gone.

* Reply to SMS - Whenever I replied to SMS text messages, I'd get the envelope with the red clock (and the message never went out). It wasn't a signal issue because I could create a new text and out it'd go. Solution: My contacts are sync'ed with gmail and facebook.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] greglord:
Hi all.

I have this problem for a while now; I thought it was some kind of software fault so I've tried every possible thing I could think of.

Every time I try to use application, that uses GPS (google maps, iGo, or any other nav app), my phone reboots. Not freezes, not force closes app, but reboots.

Here is my os info:

HTC Magic

Firmware-Version: 1.6

Baseband.Version: 62.50S.20.17U_2-22-19-26I

Kernel-Version; 2.6.29-00479-g3c7d37

Build-Number: DRC92

Anyone has any clue what is causing this? I've also wiped/reset to default and that doesnt seem to help either. Should i bring my phone back to the store and use warranty?

ps: phone is not rooted and has never been. its firmware is official 1.6.

Thank you for your help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] greglord:
is there another site/forum where i could post that kind of question since this is dev forum though. I would apretiate if anyone could at least tell me where to search for answers.

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] silvertag:
Send it back for another one. Make the clerck test it on see how it reboots. It's probably a bad board and since your legit you should have no problem with the waranty.
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
I have been looking around for accessories for the EVO, I preordered mine already, but want to have a case and screen protector on it.

I don't want to take a chance with this thing.

I came across this website which has many skins, and rubberized cases, but am hesitant to order, because I did a search on google, and on another android forum website everyone was giving them bad review, like poor communication, 3+weeks for the item to ship.

Plus they don't use paypal.

If anyone knows a reliable place selling cases please post a link or PM me, and here is the link for anyone who may want to order, also if you have ordered let me know how it went.

thanks

http://cheapdroids.com/

Go on the left and click HTC Evo 4g, then choose cases and all the available ones are their.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Yeah I have been looking myself. It scares me to not have this stuff before I pick my phone up..Normally when I open a new phone there is some kind of plastic already on the screen. Its usually not to pretty but I'll have no choice but to leave it on till I get a screen protector.

Since I don't really see myself slapping this baby on the side of my pants I am trying to find some type of gel body glove or something so I can still put it in my pocket and not add too much bulk.

http://www.htc-evo-cases.com/Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-HTC-Evo-Case-1727.html

I have found only that one so far..
[EVO 4G General] skiutah1080:
Only problem with that snap on case (which doesn't sound TOO bad) is that it wouldn't ship out until June 21st, 17 days after the Evo comes out... That's 17 days worth of heavy phone usage to get through without a scratch!!! :)

Something I've always trusted is the InvisibleShield from ZAGG. I have had it on my ipod touch since day 1 and it's pretty good stuff...

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

OR Ghost Armor (which is pretty much the same thing) has it for $14.99 which is $10 cheaper than Zagg... I'm pretty sure that Ghost Armor is the stuff you can get at Best Buy now, at least for the stores in Phoenix...

http://www.ghost-armor.com/htc/evo4g-mobile-phone/prod_408.html
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
ahh thanks for the heads up...those links you gave me do you know if they feel sticky? I hope that makes sense but since I am putting it in my front pocket I dont want it to keep getting caught on the inside of my pocket.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I am confused...those links you gave me are screen protectors?

I'm trying to find like a silicone case for the outside of the phone not the screen.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
i hate cases, like my phone naked. going to be looking for a good cheap holster (?leather) for my belt. suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I have always been that way also but this one looks a little too big to hang off the side of my pants LOL
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
im looking for a good belt clip case kinda like i have for my hero

http://store.androidcentral.com/krusell-hector-leather-case/4A120A4371.htm

this is not what i have for my hero but its close id love something like this for myEVO
[EVO 4G General] fandroid93:
i like this skin. its made out of the same material as the invisibleshield for less than half the price.

heres my review of it on my nexus one...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMQBKuAMj_Y
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I can't access youtube at work..Do you have a link to where I can buy and look at the case in question?
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I like the ghost armor one
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Apparently I am lost! Does anyone have any info on actual cases? People keep talking about freakin screen protectors! Am I in the wrong topic?
[EVO 4G General] grb:
I've clear skinned my last 3 phones (Mogul, Touch Pro, Nexus 1). IMO, it's the best way to protect your phone and still have the "naked" look. Why add bulk and/or hide these beauties with a case? I've dropped each one of them atleast once without ever getting a scratch.

I personally feel a screen protector isnt needed. I got bubbles on the N1 screen protector due to poor installation on my part, so I removed it and haven't looked back since. These screens are very durable and hard to scratch if you use common sense.

The key to a good skin install is follow the instructions and take your time.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
clear skinned? is that like a custom body glove type thing?
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Yes, what we are talking about are protective skins. They are clear cases that go on your phone and protect it without adding all the bulk that comes with a big hard case
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
thank you for clarifying that..i honestly thought everyone was talking about screen protectors..
[EVO 4G General] adeyo:
zagg's product is a screen protector AND has something that fits se seamlessly around the rest of your phone. It is sort of grippy (a little) so it doesn't slip into your pocket extremely easily, but they are nice -not great with a stylus though, b/c, like i said, a bit grippy.

this product was originally designed for military helicopters to cover their blade tips to prevent damage. pretty heavy duty stuff...you barely see it on there, but if you drop your phone, it primarily will keep it scratch free -spotless really. only problem is, it barely protects against impact like other bigger cases might. But its nearly impossible to scratch, nic or chip your phone.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
2 things I'm looking for, and hopefully they do it right this time. A sedio front facing belt clip for the evo and an extended battery. what they've ****ed up in the past is making one not compat with the other....

I really want the extended battery experience while at the same time having it being able to snap into my belt like I'm someone god damn important =P

lol that's all I got.
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
This a simple and quick guide for everyone who wana make or just modify their own HTC DESIRE ROM's.(Rooted ones)

For example you downloaded a nice ROM from one of devs here, but they removed some application that you cant live without. Now you dont need to beg them to add those files back, simple add them your self and flash your rom.Missing APK's you can get simple by downloading any stock rom, than extract them and put them in your new ROM.

After you extracted files provided (c root recomended), you will see 2 maps

"Sign ROM" and "tools"

Signing ROM's:

After you modifed your ROM zip file, simple put it in "Sign ROM" map, and rename it to update.zip.Than run "Sign.bat" After the process is done you will get another zip called "update_signed.zip" which you can now put to your SD card and your ready for flashing. Note:JAVA SDK files are included, you only need to have normal java installed.

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2921/signedrom.jpg

Pushing recovery files from windows:

Now to flash your ROM you dont need linux anymore, simple enter recovery (Power button+back, than select recovery...), and than in the map "tools" run recovery-windows.bat. Than you will get standard screen where you can flash your roms, partition SD, clear data and so on..

NOTE: You need to have HTC Sync driver installed or your phone wont be detected (you can get them from HTC)

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1894/pushfiles.jpg

If you have any questions, suggestions or if i wrote something wrong i will be happy to answer/corect them.

(Thanks GeoTrail for link)
[Desire Android Development] NielDK:
would this tool work for the HTC Legend aswell?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
For signing roms yes, for pushing files not sure if Desire and legend use same files..
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
Ok this one is simple, but this is only how to add/delete several apps.

How about going little bit more deeper?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Well if you wana go deeper, you can download costom kernels with overclocks or low volatege and replace the ones in rom, or those circle battery mods or costom boot sounds and so on...Basicly your replacing/modifying original files. But this is just quick basic guide for basic stuff, let real ROM developing and costomizing to the developers who are good at it.
[Desire Android Development] bam0:
As far as hardware support goes is it the kernel that provides everything? Basically if I take an N1 rom (like cyanogen 5.0.6) and change to a desire kernel, is it likely to just work perfectly or are there other bits in the ROM that are likely to need changing?
[Desire Android Development] TheAshMan:
Of course you can just use dsixda's Kitchen which is cross-platform and quite straightforward to use.

You just add the update.zip file you want to change, remove/add any apps you want and make any advanced changes you want too.

Select Build ROM and it'll create the new update.zip that you can flash to phone.

I've used it on my Desire without problem for adding/removing apps.
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Well that kitchen is nice, but still..you need to downlaod virutal machine to make it run under windows or Cygwin tool than download JAVA SDK..setup lots of things.

My point of this thread was just vey basic and simple way to quickly add/remove/costomize files from ROM, without installling and downloading lots of tools, and quickly install it on Phone and test.
[Desire Android Development] TheAshMan:
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to undermine your work. No doubt you've spent a lot of time creating this and trying to contribute to the community. It's far more than I can say for myself.

I was just pointing out there's something already out there, and more capable than this.

It's definitely good to see people helping out the members and this is definitely something useful ;)
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Everything is cool TheAshMan, and thanks for you link, im sure some enthusiastic people will try some advance things like that. But even my self im not big expert about Linux and phones, i do have great knowledge about windows and computers, but dont have much time for this area.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Screen shots on how to use this would help, I've come from cooking my own WinMo ROMs and wuld like to give this a try if possible

Also, as I use W7 x64 is it best to run the .bat files as an admin? Had issues using Windows methods in the past so have been using Linux to get rooted
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
I'm also using Windows 7 x64.

About running bat's as admin its not necessary unless you have some kind of UAC high settings, or running on some kind of limited user account. I never run this bats as admin and they work fine.

Basicly download some stock rom, or someones rom. And simple add or remove files inside rom.zip/system/app/

If you dont like facebook for example, just remove Facebook.apk and facebook.odex(if its present).

After your done with that, rename ROM to update.zip and put it in the folder

C:\Desire Tools\Sign ROM\ and excecute "Sign.bat" , and it will create signed rom with name update_signed.zip.

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2921/signedrom.jpg

This is just some base, im not gona explain you about ROM deodexing, framework, boot images kernels and stuff, because im not expert at this.

Now you can put that file to root of your SD card.

Now you can test it on your phone.

Shut down your phone. Turn it ON while holding back button.You will see Bootloader selected, press power button again. Than Recovery will appear, you can navigate down with volumen UP AND DOWN and select Recovery and press POWER button again to select it.Phone with Red triangle will appear on your phone. Now go in map C:\Desire Tools\tools and excecute "recovery-windows.bat"

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1894/pushfiles.jpg

And on your phone you will get that screen with green letters where you can select to 'Flash zip from sdcard' ,where your signed rom will appear.(You need to wipe data before from the same menu)

I hope i made some thing clearer im writing this from work so dont have much time :P
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Right, got a ROM and added 2 .apk files to the /system/app folder and now got a signed_update.zip...is that it? They'll be on the device from the start?

Seems to simple to me!! :D

How can you add a new radio? Or change the version number in About phone>Software?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Yea thats it. About those other things..Google is your friend...:)
[Desire Android Development] iDance°-->ra1n:

[Desire Android Development] iDance°-->ra1n:
when i flash it says:

E: Can't find update script
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
rom.zip/META-INF/COM/google/android/update-script

Did you touch that in ROM? If you didint, than you removed something that you shouldnt.
[Desire Android Development] pitsyapa:
Can u also remove apps from rom that you don't like by this method.

-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Yea, thats the all point of everything i wrote here. Very simple way of very quickly removing apps that you dont want from the rom before flashing it.

Also, you need to watch out, and to a bit experementing. Because sometimes if you remove some crucial app, you will start getting random crashes of applications or random bugs. Allways make a copy of original rom.

For example if you remove HTC-IME.apk, you wont have any kind of keyboard in the rom. Making it un-usable
[Desire Android Development] benko286:

[Desire Android Development] tstee3:
Hi I try to unzip all the file that you said, but it would't create another zip called "update_signed.zip" Im using Windows XP .
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Well, first off, try to repeat everything from copy of original rom which i hope you made, re-asign ROM. And try to flash it again.

If problem persists, try removing one thing by one. Start from amazon, than try to flash it. If it works, than try removing sounds..

As i said, im not 100% expert here, but my files do work 100%, only errors can occur if something wrong is removed from ROM, or becasue some random bugs.
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
After you extract my files, you do not get any ROM zips. You need to download any rom, modify it on your own desire, than RENAME that rom to update.zip and put in the Sign ROM map. Than when you run sign.bat it will create "update_signed.zip" .
[Desire Android Development] krokodyl:
Thanks a lot, very easy even for beginners
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
Ok here is what I will try, download modaco r3 rom with no apps2sd, extact all from it and zip it back, than I will sign rom and try to flash it!

If it works it means that procedure is good, than I will try with removing stuff.

Can somebody just conifrm that procedure is OK?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
You dont need to unzip it. You can change /add /remove files inside zip. But both ways would work.

Also make a copy of original ROM before you start doing anything on it so you dont need to re-download it.
[Desire Android Development] potter1984:
Just a Quick question!!,

Do i need the .odex files as well as the .apk files ?

IE: Can i just put com.estrongs.android.pop.apk (Estrongs file manager) straight into the apps folder on the unsigned rom, or dose it need to have the .odex file with it.

or Dose it need this with it data@app@com.estrongs.android.pop.apk@classes.dex

Im hopeing its just a simple case of just adding the .apk files for non system .apk (Games, emulators, etc.)

Please confirm someone, Thanks in advance.

if i run it as admin it says: can't find path...

if i run it as user it looks like everything is working but i don't get an update_signed.zip

i also installed the newest version of the sdk with all updates..

tried to reinstall the desire tools several times.

Still no luck.

this sucks, cause i have no clue what's going wrong....

any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Are you maybe runing an limited account? You are maybe not an Admin of your PC? I tryed this unzipng and running on Windows xp, windows vista and windows 7 x64 and x86, without or with run as admin and it worked.

Try this:

Open run (winkey+r) and write in CMD to open command promt.

There write this: "c:\Desire Tools\Sign ROM\sign.bat" (write it with quotes)

If it doesnt work, take a screeshoot of that window where it says path is wrong and upload it here so i can see.

A2SD?

Last Time I used MoDaCo I chose them without A2SD and flashed darktremor's A2SD after flashing CR...

And, at last, I want to use the Lockscreen from Froyo CustomROMs (DeFrost), can I put it into my own ROM also?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
It doesnt matter what you put or remove from rom, this will just make it signed, now, will those apps work or not has nothing to do with this files.
