I'm sure Toast would appreciate it if you removed your lips from his ass :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Nope. No crack for me. That's a chick I used to date. I agree that its obviously less of a transition going from 2.1 to 2. 2 but I have learned not to give HTC credit for anything. Honestly do you think they care about bad press? People are still gonna buy their phones regardless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lilredzmd:
Will Android 2.2 Run fine with EVO 4G's 4G Radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] klynch_gdd:
I don't see why not. Why would they release 2.2 for EVO if it didn't. Kind of defeats the purpose.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
thanks! didnt know about this but cuz of your post, just read up on it. the official AOSP log shows it being merged into the code on dec 7th so it would seem this would have been patched in the official 2.1 EVO release? but i hear ya, anything is possible! is it possible to create this type of payload, for one of the I/O EVO owners to test?

this is the first page which came up when i googled for droid root verifier.c http://android-devs.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=37 . doubt their method will work, but worth the 1-2 mins it would take to test?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shep211:
There was some issues with not using the new radio. Looks like all the issues have been fixed with 2.2 and older radio's for the nexus one. So we should be good.

Does rooting your phone keep it the same as before? as with the sense UI and complete functionality? Sorry for the newb question..i'm still learning
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Yes. Everything stays the same (if you want), but you just have elevated privileges to run certain apps and do certain things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyecon82:
Thank you.

I'm hoping for the possibility of rooting my Evo so I can put a hotspot application on it and avoid the $30 fee....is this possible?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yes. There is an application called wifi tether. We have had it since the early days of the G1. Basically it does just what the hotspot app does. It broadcasts your phone's internet connection as a wifi signal. When I was on Tmo with my G1 I used Tmo's 3g to power mine and my ex fiance's internet connections when Verizon was screwing with us.

So yes you can use the normal rom with elevated priveleges or you can flash custom roms as well such as AOSP (Android Open Source Project). You can also remove unnecessary apps. For instance, I usually remove Footprints, Flickr, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] koolhand79:
Yes it is possible with Wireless tether. I already have it installed on my Evo and im just waiting on the root to be released. Once this happens i can finally port my number to the EVo and ditch my Hero for good
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyecon82:
awesome thanks! So we can actually get rid of all the sprint bloatware without affecting our device? there's just too much crap that comes on sprint phones nowadays like nascar, nfl, sprint zone, bla bla...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Correct. On the Hero I made a rom I called Gutted Hero which basically removed all the bloatware but kept Sense. I may do this for the Evo if there is a demand for it. Primarily though my project is going to be AOSP 2.1 and, when sources are released, 2.2 as well as custom kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyecon82:
you guys are awesome! thank you so much :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] geekykid:
thanks for the kernel config! i cant wait to jump right into creating a custom kernel for the evo on friday (or whenever root details are made).
[EVO 4G Android Development] finebrian224:
Good work toast and maejrep. I will get my Evo on launch day. Hopefully I will be to enjoy the fruits of your labor come friday.

I will be a first time android user/owner come friday.. Hopefully rooting will be easy and reversible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BrianDigital:
can not wait to get rid of nascar
[EVO 4G Android Development] thorpe24:
i can not wait to mess with this phone, and help you guys with testing and what not.

what time do you guys think i should head to sprint to be one of the first. since they open at 8am i was thinking 4, maybe a little earlier?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jabbawalkee:
When are you aiming to release this bad boy? I got my EVO at Google I/O and have been dying to root it ever since. I'm hoping you'll release this week but of course it's up to you :) great work guys!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] newone757:
Evo in hand, patiently waiting. Great work, thank you

[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
LOL, i wish the title of this thread wasn't 'how to root your evo', and instead was 'everyone come gawk at my rooted phone'
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Ha ha that would be more accurate
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Hey, toast, how about an ETA or something to ease our anxiety? Pretty please?
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
if you followed some of the links, you can see that the team working on providing root access is waiting for a few things. first and foremost, it needs to be a stable root. as it stands, they have to reroot every time they reboot the phone. which would blow.

also, it's definitely not going to be until after the evo hits the streets, for public consumption.

also, apparently they want it to be a process that doesn't require adb, so that it can be achieved without adb knowledge.

although, personally, that point, imho, shouldn't be one. if you can't get around doing the basics with adb, you probably have no business rooting your phone anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] extrafuzzyllama:
if u followed or read this thread u would see that toast is not working with the original guys that claimed they had some sort of root.

toast has full root and by just teading the first post on this thread u would see that
[EVO 4G Android Development] chippillie:
Toast will come through always has in the past but I don't think it will be before the 3rd or 4th. It also sounds like he is making a auto rooter like the fresh kitchen has for the cdma hero. So patients is the key word.

awesome work guys. now we just need for it to be the 4th.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
i read every post by him in this thread, thank you. "full root" is root. you either have it or not. the other team has it too. it just needs to be reenabled after reboot.

i'm not knocking him, i'm just going on what has actually been said. i didn't see anything that would lead me to believe that it's much different than what the other team has.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:

[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
seriously? granted, i'm all for rolling up your sleeves and learning something new. but I don't know, to think that accessibility to root should be limited those who feel comfortable with a command line seems a little passe.

anyways, I suppose we are now officially off topic :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
well....

i'm not trying to keep anyone out, but root access on any operating system can easily goof something up. if you aren't familiar with at least a few basic commands, you really want hand out carte blanche administrator control on something?

the basics to adb are not that hard to learn. pull push install shell reboot, that's all they would mess with most of the time.

of course, if you want to build a gui script for all of that, go right ahead :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
I agree with you; however, for most of the people who won't touch a command line, if they get root, they're probably not going to do much to mess of their phone. or, maybe they will :D i guess we'll find out when they start clogging the thread . . .
[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
See toast's other topic in this forum with the EVO "makeshift" kernel source. I can confirm it compiles and boots on the phone. However, there are some pieces missing (like HDMI) .. for a custom kernel to be 100% complete, we'll have to wait for HTC to release the missing code (or reverse engineer it, which *cof* we've done before ;))

This method does not require re-rooting after a reboot.

Terminal emulator on the phone starts as the app user, but becomes root by simply running su.

'adb shell' starts up in a root shell every time.

'adb remount' works to remount /system as "rw" -- BUT, the NAND protection actually prevents being able to write to /system, even though it is mounted rw.

/system is writable from recovery though -- which means you can still add/remove apps, change settings, etc ... just means you have to do it from recovery (for now). And obviously you can flash an entirely new ROM from recovery (as evidenced by having Froyo running on it)

FYI, I've flashed back to the 2.1 ROM, particularly because the camera in this phone is not as dismissible as it was on the Hero (in my opinion). If you don't mind not having the camera and not having 4G, then the Froyo ROM is certainly stable enough to use as a daily.

I am using Nexus One and a BH 103 Nokia Stereo Bluetooth headset. I have problems receiving some calls. Sometimes the conversation looks like muted and a have to use the Bluetooth button in call screen twice to deactivate and reactivate the bluetooths to be able to receive the call. I did not had problems when calling someone. Did somebody had the same problem and solve it ?

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
what makes you think something is wrong with your startup.txt?

bootloop is an issue that alot of people are fighting with. best steps to beat this are:

update zimage and rootfs, delete current data.img, let it rebuild.

if that doesn't work what alot of people are suggeting is to go back to the 3.31 build and set that one up, then update with the files from the 5.11 build but keeping the data.img and it seems to get it going.

Is it just my phone?

I guess with this weather widget we can add locations of where we want to know the weather.

Anyway when I search I would like to add the weather for Monterey Ca. and all I get is Monterey Mexico, WTF is the matter with this thing? Am I missing something?
[Droid Incredible General] Solomente:
Not every location on earth is in the pick list. You can try Salinas or some other place close by.
[Droid Incredible General] Lino.:
Funny that Salinas is there, but I don't want Salinas even tho they are close to each other, the weather is way different.

This program needs work, even if it cannot find it, I should be able to add that location to favorites or something, but thats not an option.

I will have to get the weather channel program.
[Droid Incredible General] nfcrockett:
Not sure if this what you're asking for but you can choose to display your current location by removing the clock widget and re-adding, it will ask which location to use. Choose current location.
[Droid Incredible General] Lino.:
Current location is not the problem, I like to know weather conditions of places that I'm going.

I use to use The weather channel app for this on my old phone, so this one had the weather I wanted to know about having the same features, but it does not.

I think I am going to download the weather channel and just run it when I need to know the weather of where I'm going.
[Droid Incredible General] nfcrockett:
Ok, ya I know what you mean. The locations are definitely limited.
[Droid Incredible General] timehunter:
You can download the Weather Channel app. It has a widget you can use instead of the HTC one.
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
i noticed today that my evo's screen has some sort of light warping near the bottom left corner. i don't have a picture to show, but i'd like to know if anyone else notice something like this. it's most noticeable when the whole screen is white (like a webpage) and then hold the screen in front of you with the top tilted slightly toward you like 20 degrees. i get a little diagonal light warping near the bottom left corner, pretty noticable.

i'm not flipping out too hard because it's not noticable except from this angle. looking at it directly straight on looks perfectly normal. but i want my evo to be perfect!
[EVO 4G General] fadimo305:
That is normal the EVO is equipped with a backlight so when you tilt it it will show

its not a hardware issue its normal dont worry..also were did u get ur evo???????

also im the first teen to play with EVO...LOL
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
i took some pictures, see the diagonal line near the bottom left. that really doesn't strike me as normal!
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
That's just imperfections with the backlighting for the screen, it happens.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
I can see the lights at a angle but I have to turn it completly flat to see the lights. Yours looks like its lighting your screen. My evo does not do that.
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:

[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
I would definitely take that back to the store I got it from if mine did that. Since it's a gift, you might be SOL, unless you go through HTC? Not familiar with warranty stuff like that...
[EVO 4G General] Toaplan:
I'd be pissed if that happened to me again. It happened with my Touch Pro and as much as I tried, I couldn't get a replacement or repair. No one would even acknowledge that anything was wrong.

On a very related note, I think it sucks that there is backlight leakage at the bottom of the phone casing. I hope this varies from unit to unit.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
My Evo does have this as well.
[EVO 4G General] atoy74:
All EVOs have that light bleed on the bottom. Almost every review has commented on it. They've also said it really isn't a deal killer.

Guess some folks are pickier than others.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
It just happens, design flaws. I'm tempted to wait and get a later revision EVO.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
I did read about the light bleed before buying. I do not mind the light bleed. Its not that bad on my Evo. I am very happy with overall build. Cant find anything wrong with the manufacturing process on my phone.
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
Take it back. That is definitely not normal.
[EVO 4G General] fazzy:
mine have that as well
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
the LED leak from the buttons is normal, the bent TFT LCD screen is not. The display should not look like that.
[EVO 4G General] pwabbit:
They probably gave out blems at the Google I/O. ;) just kidding.
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
Funny enuf mine doesn't have the button light bleed at the bottom. I guess I should be happy about that
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
this is why i tell myself to never be an early adopter...i usually just can't wait...
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
My EVO does not have any light leakage whatsoever.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I guess you could chalk it up to the Google I/O batch being the first batch of Evos ever produced. After all, aren't they Developer models? I'd imagine the final version meant for consumers would be free of problems such as the light leakage.
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
I would really hope that these imperfections would be ironed out on the consumer "release" units...
[EVO 4G General] Shidell:
The light leakage is normal for the EVO, and it isn't caused by the screen, but rather by the button LEDs backlighting the touchable buttons on the face of the phone.

If you're extremely particular, you could open the phone and put something in place to block the light from reaching the edge of the screen--like electrical tape, etc.
[EVO 4G General] newone757:
i dont have that light warpage.

of course i do have the light leakage from the bottom though, seems like an easy fix if we can find something suitable to fill those gaps in though
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
Any protective case should cover up the seam anyway.
[EVO 4G General] slapbet:
I have no problems with the light leakage itself. What might be cause for concern is that there are physical gaps between the glass and the casing that could result in dust settling between the LCD and glass. Would folks mind keeping an eye out on this? The early Hero's had massive dust leakage problems initially (I personally had to return two units after a week and just gave up on getting a new phone for an entire year).
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
I've begun to notice another issue with my screen... if I make the screen completely white, there are some fairly big darker areas visible. Has anyone else noticed this?
[EVO 4G General] zane78219:
Not on my evo
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
yeah dude i would go get that exchanged
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
some have said the i/o were early units but in sprint release about the sd card problem the said the i/o were fromthe same shipment that sprint got
[EVO 4G General] AllanonMage:
I haven't checked the backlight issue, but mine is making a noise when I press on the bottom left quadrant of the phone. Seems that it's becoming an issue out in the wild according to this article

http://www.informationweek.com/news...ml?articleID=225700202&subSection=All+Stories

so I called Sprint to get an advance replacement. Since mine is only 11 days old, and within 30 days of purchase, they said I would have to go to the store that I bought it from (A sprint store), and the store would order me a new phone. The guy I spoke to was friendly, gave me his name ID #, and a case # to reference (something other telco's cough COMCAST cough) don't always do.

So I'll be stopping by my local Sprint store on teh way home from work today to get my new one ordered.
[EVO 4G General] scrubed:
My glass is separating from the body of the phone. It's noticeably a 1mm higher on the left than on the right.

Going to ride it out for a few until my sprint store has stock again then go exchange it.
[EVO 4G General] :
That's not normal. I made another post already about this over at the Android Central forums with pictures demonstrating the button backlights have nothing to do with it and it is indeed the screen itself. Since I'm a new user and it's not letting me post outside links... PLEASE FORGIVE ME MODS, but you can check it here: preview.tinyurl.com/2ueh5ks
[EVO 4G General] HotInEER:
I have really bad light bleeding at the bottom of my home, menu, back and search keys. Now I have noticed at the edge of the phone where the screen meets the body, I can see light seeping from the bottom left. Waiting on replacement EVO from Sprint corporate store, if that one has the same problems, I will return it and go back to my Hero till a new phone comes out.
