[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] isaacwaller:
I'm the developer of Quick Boot, and I noticed Quick Boot was not working on Sense UI phones (such as EVO). Quick Boot is an app that will reboot your phone to recovery / bootloader mode or just reboot it normally. I have created a new version of Quick Boot that should work (it works on my I/O EVO 4G), but I would like some forum members to test it out first to make sure it works before pushing it out onto the Android Market.

You can download the fixed version of Quick Boot from here: (SEE BELOW)

Will only work on rooted EVO 4Gs! It does work with UNREVOKED root, because with this new version I have my own reboot binary in the app's files on the data partition, so the system partition does not have to be writeable.

-------

EDIT: New version! This one should work better. The first version only worked the first time you used it! Afterward, the file permissions would be messed up.

Download link to new version: http://www.siriusapplications.com/assets/quickboot/quickboot31.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ricersniper:
Thank you!!:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kshawn:
Haha I was wondering why it wasn't working on my evo and only my samsung moment. Good stuff, thanks for the update. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 06ms6:
Works perfectly, thank you very much!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] njfoses:
So this would replace the need for rom manager correct?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] isaacwaller:
If all you're using ROM Manager for is rebooting to recovery, yes. But ROM Manager can do so much more.

noob question of the day, what is quick boot. further more what is fastboot?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
I press the buttons and nothing happens.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] isaacwaller:
Do you have the second version I just posted? It should fix that problem.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] goffmj:
Was having the same issue, the 3.1 fixed it. Awesome work! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] djR3Z:
thanks so much for this isaac. Also, I have a question. I use a widget called switchpro that has a reboot option. It doesnt work just like the old quickboot wouldnt work. Does this quickboot install files that might make switchpro work again? Or does quickboot keep to itself more or less.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
worked great thanks. This doesnt fix the ROM manager reboot option tho.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
Great job working perfect here.

This is probably my favorite app of all the ones I use.

Are you now invoking reboot etc by shell commands instead of relying on the reboot file?

I am working on an updater and would love to get this code working and not have to rely on the reboot file.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] isaacwaller:
Nope, I just bundle the reboot binary with my app and copy it to my app's files directory. I change the permissions with chmod and then can execute it just like the bundled reboot binary, except it works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
Sweet I am gonna see if I can do the same

Great work again. Thanks

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
new version works thank you :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Could you post this on the Market, good sir? I already have the old version fixed, but I'd like to be able to have the latest versions of this one when I install new ROMs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] realgt:
with unrevoked, does this let you boot into recovery somehow and remove sprint apps?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sph33r:
Quick Boot is just a "shortcut" that let's you easily reboot into a recovery or reboot your phone. You would need to have a recovery installed for it to work which, as far as I know, doesn't exist for unrevoked.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
I love this thanks!@!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DssTrainer:
Anyone got this to work on their rooted EVO? I am trying to do a nand backup after doing the OTA Simpleroot and when I choose recovery from the 3.1 quickboot, All I get is a picture of the phone with a red triangle with exclamation in it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
do you have a custom recovery installed?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dukins:
Flash ClockworkMod or RA Recovery and you should be good to go. Go to the market and download ROM Manager.:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antiphon:
Thanks for the updated application! I've had this one for a while and love it. I have a suggestion though -can you change the icon for each of the reboot options? I have shortcuts to them on my launcher bar in Launcher Pro and sometimes it is difficult to tell them apart based on the icon alone. Other than that great app!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Trident:
I just noticed that Quickboot has added a fourth option. And it seems quicker getting into recovery. Great job by the dev!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy_iskate:
im running fresh 2.1.2 and the weather is updating and saying im in china. its not only the weather its the clock and everything so i had to set the time on my own. its not that bad its just annoying as balls anyone know how to fix it??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-of-four:
You can manually override the network provided time by going into the world clock page and going into:

Date & Time > Unclick "automatic" > set as needed till your carrier fixes it.

Hope this helps
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiggy2cents:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
As some may know, I am working on a dedicated Evo website.

The biggest feature will be my file distribution system.

I hope for it to be the first of it's kind, it will both upload the file and create a torrent of it.

This allows the file download to be stream by both means.

If anyone is interested in obtaining upload access I am accepting requests.

My only requirement is you have unique Evo related files to offer (ROMs, Boot Screens, etc).

This is still in development, but should be complete and ready for testing within the next 24 hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cal196:
Sounds like a good idea, but please don't use torrents. P2P technology is a horrible way of sharing development files for a number of reasons, the main one being version control. If someone wants to download a file straight to their EVO, a torrent will be of no use to them.

Just my .02.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
Usenet ftw!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
There will be direct links on the servers to the files alongside the torrents.

I may do a simple browser check to only allow direct downloads from mobiles.

I really want to encourage torrents with web seeds, it's never been done before!

Anyways a status update ~ IT NOW WORKS!

I just got uTorrent to download a file without any user seeds and it went through like a champ.

I honestly don't think anyone has created such an automated system, I am quite proud of myself!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pingpongboss:
Nice, what's the site?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
TalkEvo.com

If want to check it out, I've got the new radio update in there.

You can see for yourself how streamlined downloads are. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
I like your idea for using http as a backend for torrents if there are no seeders. I have actually thought about this method many times in the past, I never thought someone would of put it all together into a working method. CONGRATZ MAN!!! This would of been so useful in the past when I was working on a couple warez/script websites/forums. You should jazz this script up and make it a little more customizable, maybe with a simple admin cp, and then release it to the script community, people will love you! I know I do! :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bitsrunner:
that's pretty genius, i like it. Good job! Should make an excellent way to distribute EVO Files!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rdude:
Have you heard of BitTorrent DNA? It is made by BitTorrent Inc. for exactly this sort of thing. You host a file on your HTTP server and BitTorrent DNA creates a torrent for it. Users download from each other when there peers available, but otherwise they default back to your server.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
I've been doing a lot of reading and searching but still can't find a definite answer...

My understanding is that I need to root the device to flash a custom rom

But from the instructions for noobs, they don't usually specify that I have to root

I assume that rooting is a pre-requisite for everything...but then some roms advertise that they are rooted (for example, LeoFroYo)

So it the rooting process tied to the rom itself and I have to root everytime I flash a new rom (if the rom is not rooted)? Or is it universal like HSPL on WinMo?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
Rooting is per rom. What is required to flash a custom rom is having an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery image. From there you can flash a pre-rooted rom.

The root instructions assume that you're gonna keep using the stock version with root abilities added on top. Whereas if you're using flashing something like CM, that already has root and OS tweaks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
Thanks! So does that mean when I get my phone out of the box, I have to root it once over the stock rom before I can flash any custom rom?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
You need to root the phone originally and flash a custom rom. The "pre-rooted" means the rom is rooted. So if you flash that rom then you wont lose root. If you flash an un-rooted rom then you will lose it. So go through the steps and unlock your bootloader then flash a custom recovery image. Then decide which rom you wanted and flash it. All the custom roms are rooted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
That explains it. Thanks for your answer
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
one more question:

I take it as when bootloader is unlocked, there's no way to lock it again? Not even flashing the stock boot image?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, once you unlock the bootloader, it stays unlocked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Just to be clear here you don't _have_ to "root your phone once"

On _most_ phones you need an exploit to be able to get to the bootloader, this exploit is often referred to as rooting. After the exploit you generally have superuser access until you reboot, on some phone this may allow you to get at the bootloader and write anything you want there (E.G. an OS that give you superuser access at boot time)

However the N1 lets you issue the command "fastboot oem unlock" that unlocks the bootloader, from there you can flash a recovery image that will allow you to flash the main OS without having access to Google's release signing keys. Hence you _could_:

1. Bootloader unlock

2. Flash Custom recovery

3. Flash Custom OS

Without ever actually having "root" access, it just happens that most Devs prefer having root access available in both recovery and any custom rom they cook up.

[HD2 General] earhog:
When I am on a call my 3G/H signal drops down to G and I am not able to use data while on a call. Is there anyway to stay on 3G while on a call? I figure it does this to save battery life.
[HD2 General] hidden_dragon:
It doesn't do this to save battery life. Your area just has an inconsistent 3G signal. Either get your SIM card swapped (if it's old) and/or flash a better radio.
[HD2 General] earhog:
I guess Ill try and go the sim card swapped, it is a few years old. Thanks.
[HD2 General] kntdookoo:
There is a whole thread about this ROM...hmmmm maybe you should post in there instead of starting a new thread with a simple question like this.

Ill give you a hint...its where you downloaded the rom from.
[HD2 General] SnakePool:
3G is data.... you can't use data during a call... I think at&t is the only service that allows this action... hence the commercials.
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
T-mobile allows it also. Verizon & AT&T go at against each other. T-Mobile is basically the bottom of the totem pole so no need to bash on them as they know there place(Casual phone service). Verizon & AT&T are more of the business based which requires them to go at each other.

I talk on the phone and use data at the same time all the time.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
This should have been asked in the Rom thread for the rom your using. You have a better chance of getting a faster answer there.

Does anyone have any info on how to root an alltel hero. It comes with android 2.1 build number 2.33.556.1? I have tried all non-sprint cdma rooting methods but none of them work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFalconX:
I have tried asking the same thing in various places and it seems to fall on deaf ears unfortunately. I am even willing to help if someone had anything they wanted me to try. I guess we'll have to wait until Sprint gets an update that locks out the downgrade loophole they are using now so they will be forced to look for another kernel exploit.

In the meantime, stay away from any future ota updates that might patch holes that haven't been found yet.

I also would like to see the Alltel Hero rooted, and would be willing to help sponsor a reward for doing so. It is one big difference, under Windows Mobile it was so easy to just flash another rom, but with Android you have to get rooted before you can do much of anything.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzer1975:
Hi,

Recently rooted my hero after losing impatience waiting 6 months for htc to get their finger out.

Used cronosdroid and now using villianrom 10.2 final but will no doubt try out modaco in some point too.

Anyway, I would like to know if it is possible to save and run my apps from the sdcard?

I hear this will be possible using 2.2 but have heard that something called a2sd allows this functionality also?

If so, could anyone point me in the right direction to get a total noobs guide to installing and using a2sd and how I would then go about deleting the apps from the phone's internal memory and just running them from the sd card?

Many thanks for any help and advice you are able to share,

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
So you have already installed Amon Ra 1.6.2 yeah?

Check out BTDAG's guide in my signature,... The apps2sd bit is about half way down the 1st post, in grey writing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzer1975:
I downloaded something called quick system info from the market and it says that a2sd is there giving me 457mb total and 423mb free.

I went through that long drawn out procedure (as a result of being on t-mobile uk) and used amon ra and created a gold card etc.

My Problem is, I dont know how to "use" this a2sd functionality.

I want to basically download from the market and save to the sdcard and run the apps from the sdcard and am unsure how to do this?

It doesn't do it automatically as I get to the usual memory low message after downloading 50-100 apps, so presumably the apps are still saving to the phones internal memory.

Basically, I want to know how to save and run from the sdcard and delete from the phones memory if thats possible as I think is the whole point of a2sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
If you followed my guide correctly it will be working. You can check that with the other script in my guide. If you're still running out of memory it is because the dalvik is still stored on the SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Ok,.. So you need to be using a custom ROM with apps2sd enabled. Then once that is on your phone, you just need to partition the SD (like it says in the guide)... thats it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzer1975:
How do I move the dalvik to the phones internal memory?

I presume I followed the guide correctly as i've come from t-mobile touch g2 on 1.5 and am now using 2.1 villain rom and cronos rom before that but am still running out of memory, even with partitioning my sd card.

presumably then its the dalvik located on the sd card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ampicillin:
yeah thats because you didn't flash either Dalvik Cache to the SD card or Dalvik-Cache to /cache thats why your phone still taking internal memory .. try this for solution :- http://www.villainrom.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Apps2SD

I have two Tilt's and a Dell x30i. I sold one of the Tilt's and I'm selling the other one. I will probably sell the Dell x30i also. I figured I would pick up an Imagio to be my last Pocket PC device. It seems like it will make a really nice Pocket PC type of device. I started way back with a Dell X5. I have a lot of software and things that I do with it that I'm not ready to give up on yet.
