I don't know about you, but I still can't get wifi tether to work, even with the experimental version. It connects, I'm asked for my passphrase (which I correctly input), but still no internet access.
[EVO 4G General] Yay 4 Juggs:
im sure root is required...yes yes??

will this tether at 4g speeds? ;)

can someone link to the page? Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
can someone post step by step on how to do this? btw best buy updated my phone. please help me.
[EVO 4G General] persibro:
Here is the site: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362

The instuctions to follow begins at around comment 25.

The gist of it is that you have to set a static IP with gateway and the works, then, from the phone, ping the tethered device.

As for speeds, I'm pretty sure whatever connect you're currently getting on the phone will also apply to the tethered device.
[EVO 4G General] Vaporize:
I don't understand what root tethering is? I don't have this phone yet but I heard wireless hotspot is already built into the phone. Once you root the phone, does the builtin hotspot app disappear? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
You have to pay $30/month to use the built-in hotspot feature. With root access, we are able to create and use our own hotspot for tethering. Rooting the phone doesn't affect the built-in hotspot app.
[EVO 4G General] Vaporize:
Thanks for the quick reply. Its good having options out there to tether without having to pay the extra 30 bucks a month.

Has anyone been successful at rooting the phone and updating to Froyo 2.2? I heard 2.2 has its own built-in hotspot app. Is there a tethering charge to use the built-in hotspot on version 2.2? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] weedahoe:
They have Froyo on the Evo right but there are still bugs with it I think

On a side note, we have both our Evo's rooted and using WiFi Tethering just fine as of last night.

[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
That's the correct size, but make sure the 960 is the width. The actual 7-pane home screen is 480 with 240 off screen on each side.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Tried this and still can't get things looking right. When I go into the crop screen and hold my finger down, I'm not able to drag the box over more than half the image. Is it just me???
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
Yeah, 'fraid so. I dont know why they display that crop box when you select an image for the wallpaper, but just put your finger anywhere on the crop box and hold your finger down while dragging the box to encompass the whole image.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Okay I get it now!!!! I guess what wasn't clear to me, was that you need to hold your fingers on two sides at once and push them both outward at the same time (doing the pinch to zoom). That with the right sized wallpaper (960W x 800H) works!!!!
[EVO 4G General] peepeesea:
so there is no way to NOT crop the wallpaper?

I copied a group of .wav files that I use for custom rings and txt message sounds and such to my SD card. The files show up as options when I set the "notification" sound, but do not show up when I try to set the phone ringtone. Am I missing something here? Is there a special place I have to copy the files in order to use them as "phone" ringtones?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegame3202:
Just find the file in the music app, open the file you want, hit menu and select "set as ringtone"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impala454:

Hey there everyone. I've been working on this for a couple of days (since I'm pretty much an idiot with anything beyond web surfing), but with the help of some forum members and various other how-to guides, I figured it out. I split it up into individual frames, picked out the ones I wanted, converted them to JPGs, renamed them, and rewrote the desc.txt file. I can write a more detailed how-to since most of the things online are more about how to change the animation than how to create one. Just ask, and I'll put it up later. It's a short clip from a Youtube video of the trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2. And without further ado:

*http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M5MP13JD

-Here is a mirror, since someone posted at androidforums that there was a tracer of some sort. I've no idea what that means, but thought I would offer another downloading solution so people could go that route if necessary.

http://rapidshare.com/files/395413639/bootanimation.zip

*Now down to a slim and trim fighting weight of 1.68MB. Just a bit better than my original file with super huge PNGs that was 21.1MB. heh

Feel free to use it as you wish. Just say thanks or something. Enjoy!

Now with more preview!

PS. Mine runs and looks better, but at least this will give you an idea before you download.

Appreciate that good sir. I'd love to learn photoshop sometime but to the uninitiated, it seems very daunting.

I enjoyed learning how to do this though, and feel that each new thing I figure out, the more inclined I am to try something else. Anyway, let me know what you think of it...

Hey nice looking boot. I downloaded the file to the sd card of my eris and tried to flash it but it wouldnt load it aborted. Am I missing something here on how to install. Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
Thanks man! If you are rooted then it is super easy. Just install to SD card, then use something like Root Explorer(I think Astro should be able to do this too) to move it into the data/local folder. Also, you can put it into the system/media folder. I haven't found any difference on how it runs whichever way you want to go. If you aren't rooted yet (what are you waiting for?? lol j/k) then you have to download SDK and push it into the data/local folder since you won't have access to the system/media one. There are a couple of tutorials floating around to give you some better direction or if you are still having trouble, then PM me and I'll see if I can't direct you better so we don't fill up the regular post.

Thanks Magnum. It took me awhile to figure out how to shrink the original PNGs I made from 21.1 to 10.2MB, and then another forum member showed me that I could use JPGs and then it went from 10.2 to the current 1.68. Very happy with the results. Getting some help with including the audio, then it'll really be sweet.

I tried moving this into system/media folder where my other boot animation is but I got permissions not allowed. Ive got read only permissions on my bootanimation using taintedvanilla. Any suggestions?

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
I'm not overly familiar with that Rom, but I would suggest using Root Explorer. It's an awesome app. I don't have any issues changing to Read/Write with it. I just mount the zip on the SD card then long press, choose move and paste it into the appropriate folder. I found it worked best for me to delete the first boot animation instead of just replacing it (results may vary). If you don't want to go that route then you might want to use SDK and push it into the data/local folder. I know that either folder will work for the boot, but not sure which folder it reads first so can't be certain this will be the answer if you can't delete the other boot animation that is already installed. Let me know if this works for you...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] agentofchaos:
this is awesome :D thanks bunches:D
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
You're very welcome. I have a Mario boot screen picture too that kind of goes with the animation. PM if you're interested. If so, let me know if you need help installing it. There is a guide and it's pretty easy, but just in case.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] theGross1:
It's still allowing read only permissions. I adb pushed the bootanimation.zip into both system/media and data/local but it still boots with the old animation. Oh well I guess...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Magnum72:
You might want to try this (if you havn't already) to fix the read only permissions...

adb remount

then...

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] theGross1:
I've done that, I'll just have to play with it more when I have time. Does adb push overwrite the existing file on the phone if the are named the same?

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Magnum72:
Pretty sure it does, if your getting somthing like permission denied read only after trying to push, it probably isn't going through. Wouldn't think you'd get the read only pushing to data/local though.

Sorry about the post location. And yes, I've wiped and flashed twice. Just don't get it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleBacon:
Same problem here. I looked at the apps in the system folder of fresh toast and fresh rom and noticed that the newer fresh rom is missing some files for flash player and the files it isn't missing are different sizes. I really don't know much about them. I pushed all the flash related files I found in fresh toast to fresh ROM 2.1.2 and rebooted to see if it would work but no luck. Any ideas? Here's the file comparison:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troyboytn:
according to your pic, the files missing that you are referring to are odex files. these have been taken out on 2.1.2 on all system apps. simply putting them back in will do nothing as the odex files themselves have been incorporated into the corresponding apk as classes dex file. if your flash content is not working, the problem lies elsewhere (where, I wouldn't have a clue) as it works fine on my phone. try reflashing the rom on top of itself is a good place to start
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleBacon:
Ah. For just a second I thought to myself about that and then I dropped it. That explains why the two files in fresh ROM 2.1.2 are a little bigger. Thanks for the info.

So I've gone through a total of 6 Palm Pre's & Sprint allowed me to choose a different device, so I just picked up a Hero...

The problem is, of course, lack of simple pin & remote wipe support for ActiveSync, so I am unable to use my corporate email on the device. I have tried using TouchDown & that doesn't even work. It seems that my work may have a filter I was told by support for TouchDown(I work for a large technology company, so IT policies are very strict).

My question, is there any way, by rooting or whatnot, to get my device to support ActiveSync fully? Or a way of somehow fooling EAS into thinking I have a simple pin setup & remote wipe available?

I really wanted to start using an Android device, but shoot, if i can't even get my work email on it, its pretty pointless...

Thanks alll!

So, this morning i drove over to my local radio shack to pick up an evo. Low and behold, not a single radio shack (or sprint store) in my city got any EVO in. Best Buy doesn't carry sprint phones in this town, so I figured I was S.O.L.

While i was in walmart today, i figured I would check their phone dept. for ****s and giggles. No signs or displays were up for the EVO, but i asked anyways. Turns out they had 20 in stock :D

I had just deposited a couple checks today, and a paypal withdrawl also hadn't gone through yet, so i asked if they could hold it for me and they were happy to.

moral of the story, check your local walmart!
[EVO 4G General] blackout203:
Did they charge $199.99, $299.99 with $100, or less than $199.99
[EVO 4G General] thorpe24:
It's 199.00 at walmart
[EVO 4G General] Classick206:
Nice. I had to wait for about an hour and a half for my Evo at Best Buy- despite having a pre-order AND appointment. Crappy Sprint/BB systems were down all day.
[EVO 4G General] Fixup:
My local walmart does not carry sprint, would they still carry the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] J3STUR:
Yeah i called 6 radio shacks and at like 11am cause i had to work and couldnt do nothing till then and all of them were either only had pre orders, never got any others, or sold out. And the last radio shack i called had one left and the guy saved it for me until i got out of work at 3pm, but i had to drive like 40 minutes away to get it but it was worth it, awesome phone!
[EVO 4G General] Techknowfile:
yeah, apparently every radioshack employee in arizona know each other. When i went to the shack she called up like 10 different stores to see if one could send the EVO up (from phoenix), and each conversation sounded like she was personal friends with everyone.

Turns out the other radioshack in town was 'supposed' to get 1 (as in singular O.o), but it never came in.

Unfortunately it looks like my bank decided to hold my checks until they clear (wtf -_-;), and I would call up wells fargo and ***** them out but i don't have a phone.
[EVO 4G General] RimkaIzumo:
If they don't carry Sprint I would highly doubt it, they'd need access to their systems in order to activate it and make the necessary changes to your plan. It never hurts to give them a call though, right? Good luck.

Hey all,

I just got my wife the Evo 4G at RadioShack. Last one in the store, I was pretty lucky. Anyways, I told them not to activate it in the store so they would not apply any updates. I brought it home after work, immediately applied the root before even activating the phone.

It took tons of attempts at activating the phone before it finally went through, I was beginning to think there was a problem with the root update.zip.

Now when I try to add her Google account to her phone, it fails with the following message. No checking of passwords or account existence at all, creating an account issues the same response.

I have tried on WiFi as well, no avail.
[EVO 4G General] ohwut:
Did it activate successfully? If not that's your problem. Go to Settings --> System Updates --> Update Profile. That will activate the phone and you're good to go. Just don't click Firmware or HTC software update or you'll break root and have to re-root the phone. Activation can take up to 2 hours due to sprints systems being shat on.
[EVO 4G General] gt7000:
Yeah, activation was successful. It did take some serious time. I have been browsing the web fine though for some time.
[EVO 4G General] gt7000:
Guys, got it working.

It turns out that after I got root, while attempting to do what I always do to disable OTA updates, I inadvertently took it a step further and disabled SSL certificate validation by moving /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks to cacerts.bks.bak. Unfortunately I did not discover this until re-rooting the phone again from scratch, adding my wifes Google accounts and then going to disable the OTA updates again. As I was doing it, I began disabling cacerts.bks again, and caught myself.

Sorry for the mix-up.
