[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
I'm not rooted yet so I can't say for certain, but you can almost certainly shut down auto-OTA check by editing the build.prop and or userinit.sh in /system. Those two files control most of the automation on your Droid! Good luck, and if I helped you, send me a 16gig SDcard so I can root too;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crappypunk:
i just deleted the otacerts.zip in /system/etc/security/ and now it says my system is up to day in about phone. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askwhy:
I can confirm that running the OTA after rooting will temporarily break root. You *will* have to redo the adb in recovery > payload before your root apps or superuser.apk will work again.

The good news is that you *can* simply redo it. No big deal once you are comfortable getting into adb in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Still not sure why you went this way.

Unless you installed Superuser recently, you don't have that much "root" and will need to do it all over eventually again anyways.

It would be a lot simpler, if you did the OTA first, then re-root your phone using the newer instructions which give you a more rooted SAFER setup.

If you didn't do the newer Superuser, you now have a potentially vulnerable phone that an app can exploit because they can do su and not need approval first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexto:
I tried rooting my phone since the day root was achieved using a few different sd cards I have and failed every time. Last night I decided to downgrade and got my phone rooted on the first try. I'm no noob. I've established ADB on my HTC Vogue which is a WinMo phone running Android, I've rooted a My Touch 3G and a Hero but until I downgraded my phone I couldn't get root. At least not with my sd cards so for me running the OTA then rooting is just not an option. I will just deal with it until NAND write access is achieved.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdorn77:
Some of us are not able to easily get into adb shell, often taking days of trying (hundreds of reboots). I was finally able to get in, and don't ever want to have to do it again. I have wifi tether working, and that is plenty for me until they come up with an easier way to get into adb shell in recovery. I am assuming this guy is in the same boat (as far as how hard it is to get into adb shell).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terberculosis:
It won't matter soon. Wait until the Unrevoked custom recovery comes out in a few days and then you can find a nice custom rom that won't bug you.

Yeah if it were only true, but cannot get back into adb recovery unless i down grade, now what?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexto:
Doesn't matter now. You should be able to start flashing ROMs soon with the Recovery Reflash tool from Unrevoked http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

Those Unrevoked guys are really hooking us up :D:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnoyeb:
I too had an incredibly hard time getting into the shell... I finally down graded, was able to get in (I don't' think that got me in, as it all ended up in being timing that I just had to get).

anyways, i've now installed the unrevoked recovery tool and updated to the latest clockwork via rom manager.

Anyways... that nag screen is getting old, so which rom are people installing on their systems that's getting rid of the nag / is an updated one?

I do NOT want to have to go through the root process again, what a pain it was for me...
[Off-topic] poetryrocksalot:
Take a look at this:

http://www.geekologie.com/2010/06/google_maps_spots_australian_u.php

I call this a google map easter egg.

But I have questions regarding these numerous goofs. The questions are:

1) Is google maps a serious application or a joke application?

2) Why are there never any explanations or wikipedia articles regarding such "easter eggs" whether or not these are real or fake?

3) Maybe this USB farm is real, but I am sure some others are absolutely fake. For example, here is a Google earth street view: http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/planet_of_the_apes_real_on_goo.php

So are there any explanations?

4) Is this an inside joke or am I missing something?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Sounds to me like you fu*ked up but don't worry. Push ##DATA# wait a second then push edit mode. It will ask you for a password enter your msl. Then push menu and push restore your phone will turn off then on. When it turns back on go to settings/about phone/system updates/update profile. Click update profile it will take a sec and your done. Forgot to mention you should be running stock sprint rom and sprint prl. You should be good. Out of curiousity what were you trying to accomplish? There's probably a easier less qpst way

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SPENONE:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] danknee:
There is not a way to run HTC widgets outside of Sense. Beautiful Widgets has a similar looking clock, but you have to piece the rest together from inferior widget apps.

I wonder if it is possible to drop those N1 type animations into htc's framework or even apktool it in.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] jcball3r:
Does anyone else have a problem with the factory installed htc weather/home screen clock widget not updating itself? There is an option to click for it to update automatically, but it will not stay checked.

Anyone else have this problem or just me?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fl_jeep:
What is your update interval? Right below the "auto update" is the choice for sync interval.

I really like the Sense weather, but my big problem with it is in my city, it is not available when I search it to 'add'. However, when it knows New Port Richey when I'm in my house. So why can't I add the city otherwise? But I like the interface.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jcball3r:
I try to set mine up to update every hour. But once I navigate away from the settings page and go back to it, the check is gone again. It won't stay checked.

I also have the problem, it will know my location, but I can't really add my city. I will put a city or zip, and it will just say city not found. It works for other cities though.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jcball3r:
Nevermind, i figured it out. You were right about the sync in account/sync. I was trying to set it up under the actual widget settings, not the phone settings.

Thanks!

Alright, im not sure if this was already discovered or brought up before but here it goes..

Every time I would flash a new rom, my top paid app tab on the market would not show up. So I left the alone overnight and the next morning, still no Top Paid Apps. My girlfriend told me that it happend to her before, and all she did was start installing free apps like a mad man. At first I said, GTFOH!! Thats not gonna work!... eventually I went and tried it. I installed around 6 free apps, backed out completely out of the market, relaunched it and Top Paid apps appeared!
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Just tried this. Didn't work for me. I have no idea why it stopped working properly for me. I noticed that paid apps are in there if you do a search, but it just doesn't show that tab. I think its some kind of market glitch, but I can't seem to clear it.

So I followed the thread word for word but im still having some issues. The PC36IMG.zip flashes and everything fine, upon reboot it shows the update icon like it did when i first installed the OTA when i got the phone, reboots again, takes a few minutes to finish booting. I then skip through the setup app and reboot into recovery. I run the recovery-windows.bat file, the files are all pushed but i get access denied on all the "adb shell" commands. Did i miss something?

Thanks.

Gosh its like being 17 again and looking at all the used cars that the used car lot. What should I pick? I just want something snappy and fast! Battery life is important too but I don't wanna pick a ROM thats limited just because of battery life.
