[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
The only issue I have with doubletwist is that it doesn't let me point it at a specific directory, and for some reason it makes and keeps it's own media library xml.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsanta11:
So far no problems here, for me the app is working perfect and love how quick it loads up the videos an I have 100's of them

HTC Incredible
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] te_quiero_forever_girl:
what i mean is showing all the song titles like the stock music app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nxt:
DoubleTwist player lists your audio that's on the microSD card that's in \alarms, \ringtones, \notifications folders.

Very annoying if you have a lot of ringers.

Stock music app doesn't list those folders.

Okay I'm pretty much sick of how slow my G1 is, and I want a high end Android phone. I'm stuck with T-Mobile no exceptions and I do have a budget, and I can't get any discounts for extending my contract. I'm guessing most people will say the Nexus One but I really don't think it's worth the 500$, I'd spend 500$ on the Dell Streak/ Dell Mini 5 but I'm a bit hesitant on the Nexus One, Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] diversificationied:
Why don't you think the Nexus one is worth the $500? (It's also subsidized btw).

There's rumors floating of T-mobile getting a few devices coming soon that are on par or better than the current snapdragon lineup also. I'd sit tight for a month or two and see what happens.
[General Topics] bunu:
If you don't want to dish out $500 for the Nexus One (It is worth it, great specs, a great modding scene, and always getting the latest android updates first) then get the mytouch 3G slide. Hardware Keyboard, specs on par with the Nexus One (except the mytouch 3g has a 600 mhz processor while the N1 has a 1 ghz processor). Wes Garner (a well known android dev) is working on rooting the phone and porting CyanogenMod to it.
[General Topics] rsacipher:
Your problem is there are few options that use TMO's 3G band. If you don't mind using edge you can try the GSM Droid but that will cost about $500 too.
[General Topics] orb3000:
I see this as the best option for Tmob/Andorid
[General Topics] Knightsofwar210:
I might get the Dell Stream/ Dell Mini 5, even though it comes out in 2 months I might get it instead.
[General Topics] cten1:
well the mytouch 3g slide might be 300 or more

cuz he doesn't have discount options

maybe try the marketplace for unlocked phones
[General Topics] galaxys:
Get the Nexus One and you will be a TMobile happy camper! :)
[General Topics] Knightsofwar210:
The Nexus One isn't worth 530$ to me. The Dell Streak on the other hand is.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleejay:
I need some input from serious developers, damageless, darch, gbhill, toast, etc. people who muck around in the real **** and have a deep understanding of the android operating system.

i have a hero that is no longer on the mobile network, and i want to turn it into a straight up PDA. i want to totally and completely remove anything that has to do with phone calls, mms, sms, and mobile network. ENTIRELY.

the only problem is that when i try to remove phone stuff from system/app, i get constant FC's until i nandroid restore.

how can i do this? anyone bored enough to try to help?

once again, i want to remove EVERY and ANYTHING that has to do with mobile networks and phone usage.

maybe wipe and just install debian? is this possible?

what can actually be DONE with this platform?

im looking for a discussion, some pointers of where to start learning, and some forward momentum on this.

thanks, guys.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
You can install Debian, but it would be a pain to use and you'd have horrible battery life.

It would be easier taking something already stripped down, and stripping it down further.

I've been delving into this, and I have something working with no phone mms nothing.

I'll release something like this based off of Darch's build. It'll have a few issues, but it won't have any radio access to Sprint; just wifi.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
You will want to look into an AOSP rom.. Since alot of htc's stuff all relies on one another. Alot of stuff is worked into htcs framework.

An aosp rom would be a good choice. And maybe just set airplane mode on so it doesnt connect to the network at all. This could be a temporary thing until something better comes along.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleejay:
exactly what i am looking for. i want to remove ALL radio/mobile network/phone dependencies. can you tell me how you did it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Once I upload it :P.

It's not much work. Just taking out the correct .apk's to ensure stability. And then adjusting some settings so that the radio never even turns on.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesparky007:
why would you need to do that anyway?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwahlg:
Why use the phone functions of a phone, If you don't have any service?

I think it's a great idea, I went 3 months using my hero has a pda using airplane mode and an app from the market that let me untethered wifi from airplane mode. Must say battery life was short of amazing but with a rom built for the very purpose I can see even more potential.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleejay:
as soon as i remove com.android.phone.apk i start with the constant and steady FC's. what is calling that apk?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinLoe:
Even without holding the Evo, I can go ahead and imagine that i'd prefer a landscape keyboard without the arrows to the right that htc_ime includes with the EVO. Being unfamiliar with sense, will the standard android keyboard be available to be set as default? or will the desire keyboard be available to flash over the existing one? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewX2:
I have always disliked the arrows too. Sometimes they are hit by accident while typing. It's quite annoying. And this was on my HD2.

However I will probably use better keyboard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] speakerphone:
My HK WWE rom is killing me. I'm looking for something faster and with less crud. Looking here all cooked roms seem to add more stuff to the rom, there are no 'clean' roms, esp ones w/o manila etc for SPB shell users. Many still use Opera 9. Then there's stuff like showcase that I don't need/want.

Should I just find an official WWE rom to flash instead, if I'm after stability? Do I have to HSPL for official roms?

:confused:

[EVO 4G Android Development] flipzmode:
This is a download for the stock evo rom, rooted and in update.zip format. Please note that you will NOT be able to just flash this on your phone and have root. This is here for you to be able to have a totally stock rom (with root, superuser, and debugging turned on) once you do root your Evo. Those instructions will be coming soon. So again remember... for right now this doesn't technically serve you any purpose. However once you root your Evo, you can use this to flash a totally stock rom that is rooted.

Not much else to say here. :)

Thumbs up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] apristel:
killer! thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
is it possible to get more details on what the exact changes are between this and stock?

the su binary was added to /system/bin and set chmod 4755 in the system image?

usb debugging was turned on so the settings file in /data for adb is set to 1 instead of 0?

superuser.apk was added to /data/data or /system/app ?

also, why does this need to flash boot.img? it seems the boot.img in this .zip is slightly larger than the matching boot.img from the original stock RUU and the userdebug RUU PC36IMG.zip? has/what is modified in this boot.img?

from the update-script:

show_progress 0.1 0

format BOOT:

write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:

show_progress 0.1 0

thanks flipzmode!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dadoc04:
thanks for this
[EVO 4G Android Development] splicitysplat:
Sorry, what is the difference between this and the RUU(PC36IMG.zip) in Toast's tutorial thread?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
the PC36IMG.zip is a full RUU. it contains radio, wipes /data, loads /system, loads bootloader and recovery, etc.

this Supersonic.zip is ONLY the STOCK /system with su (root), superuser and adb turned on.

if you want root in normal android mode, you'll want to install this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
so whats the easiest way to upgrade to this Rom? Can you simply use rOM Manager? or do you have to do it through command prompt while the phone is in recovery mode?\\\\

Never mind I think I answered my own question. - Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] splicitysplat:
Thank you. So, my check list should go:

-Get EVO

-Root using Toast's tutorial

-Flash Flipz ROM

Is this correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
-Get EVO

-Root using Toast's tutorial

-Apply Custom Recovery using Toast's tutorial

-Flash Flipz ROM

yup, sounds good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apexi350z:
Does this rom disable OTA update from Sprint? What I'm thinking is, since Sprint has temporarily enable the WiFi hotspot to work without us paying the $29.99 fee, if we disable the OTA update, then maybe they can't modify the WiFI hotspot it in the future, that requires us to pay the fee?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
never heard of them temporarily enabling it. do you currently have a working wifi hotspot? did you have to take it into the store to enable it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Freelancerx:
i believe that the tethering app from sprint is free to use for the first month. they wont start charging for it until july
[EVO 4G Android Development] apexi350z:
So does this rom disable OTA update?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/evo-4g-on-sale-at-8am-on-june-4th-with-one-month-free-4g-mobile/
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
from the sounds of that article, it is a sprint dedicated app installed on the phone. my guess is it will check thru the internet, whether or not you are allowed to wifi tether, and then either activate the application or forward you to an activation page in the browser.

i could be completely wrong but im guessing this will have absolutely nothing to do with OTA.

If this rom is completely stock as Flipz indicated in his first post, OTA will not be disabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ohmarni:
OTA on Sprint

In my experience, OTA has not been the same on Sprint that it was on T-mobile. Each time an update came out, I had to use the Device Self Service app to get the update. I've been running a rooted ROM based on stock for the Hero and have never just had an OTA update start up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spurnout:
I just flashed this after rooting because this supposedly fixed a market problem and now I'm stuck in an endless boot cycle on the Sprint 4g logo...any idea how to fix?

Edit: I'm currently restoring based on the backup I made. But people should beware that this can cause problems!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pb4life754:
when sprint makes u pay for the hotspot it wont be a ota update. all that will happen is a change in the system on ur account on the back end just like if u loose ur phone and u have them restrict it
[EVO 4G Android Development] clayginn:
I wonder how sprint is going to determine who to charge. If it is active now it is going to take a OTA to turn it off. that is if they are tracking by the application. They could be just monitoring data amounts being transferred and going to charge if you are over a certain amount. Anyone from sprint on that knows for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] setite:
damnit. i had no problem with toasts root instructions.. despite this being my first android, but i'm having a helluva time finding instructions to install your custom rom.. bah humbug
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
for this, and future reference:

place the downloaded update.zip file directly onto your sdcard (not in a folder)

get into toasts temporary recovery

wipe data/dalvik

flash update from sdcard

choose whichever rom you wanna flash

then hit ok and you're gold

basically do the same thing this dude did, but choose the stock.zip instead of froyo

[EVO 4G Android Development] 1wingangel:

[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
You mean the same OTA updates that could invalidate your root access?
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Anyone who flashed this and is in a 4g area having trouble to connect to 4g now ? Mine won't connect now.

EDIT: Confirmed. this ROM breaks 4g. i flashed back to toast's and 4g works. wiped and flashed this one, 4g wont connect.

Problem is that toast's ROM can't see protected apps while this one can.

I guess it is back to stock for now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Have you wiped before installing this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Galiot:
Yes wiped data and dalvik 2-3 times each to be sure after each.

Basically

applied toast root

wiped

applied froyo- tested a bit

wiped

applied Stock w/root

was able to access everything fine on froyo, after switching to the stock w/root I lost access launcherpro, handcent and a few others that i generally use

[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
obviously 4g is new. does anybody know which system files deal with it?

just got my EVO an hour ago but have work. If somebody knows where to start looking, we can poke around. I'd imagine, its probably a fairly simple patch to this ROM to get 4g working.

copying over files from the stock ROM into this root patched ROM or something to that effect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clayginn:
So what Rom is 4G working in
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
as far as i've read:

PC36IMG.zip (userdebug RUU) and the original stock RUU posted by football.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Protected apps not showing in the market will get fixed eventually. You will need to give it some time.

Best way to fix this is to flash a rom that shows the apps, install them and then extract the apks from /system/apps and throw them on your sd card. This way regardless of what rom you run you can have access to your apps. Use a back up program to back them all up and you will never have to worry about it again.

The device has been out for 4 hours or so. Custom roms will take a week or so to get rolling and they will have bugs and such just like every other platform. Those bugs will get ironed out so we all just need to work with it and let if flow until things get rolling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Wow.. i didn't realize 4g wasn't working.

I ran into a 4G spot yesterday, but wasn't able to stay on long enough to test it... today I am at work and we have 4G here, but like you said... it says connected, gets the ip and everything, but no actual data is able to be sent...

[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
what does now it's hosed mean? can you provide more details?

ill attempt to translate "now it's hosed", you flashed this stock ROM with root a 2nd time and data still doesnt work? its still provisioned, makes outgoing calls? are you attempting 4g or 3g data? seems ppl are reporting a no go on 4g data with this current ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Alexithymia:
Ok, So just rooted and flashed this ROM to the EVO I picked up today. I do have a little experience with rooting hacking/flashing ect, but i did have a few comprehension issues on the setup. I went into a boot loop because I didn't clear the data and cache first, but caught that the second time through. This rom works as it should IF you do everything right from the start. Thanks for the support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
something is definitely goofy.

i tried to get adfree to launch. now, it asked for root permissions, and i said always allow. but, i've repeated this three times now. first go - getting hosts, can't write. 2nd go - getting hosts - reboots the phone.

makes me think that i these root privileges are not quite right.

wish i knew where to get a good copy of the hosts file, and where to put it, exactly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] miguelrodas:
Issues with camera and hostspot

I flashed this ROM yesterday and I'm having a few issues with it:

-Camera app won't open and when you try to open any third party camera app it just gives you a FC message. The stock camera app will sometimes open and work after I tried to open it and it didn't work.

-Hotspot app on 3G (I live in a non-4G area) runs and can connect ipod touch/macbook to it but I don't get any connectivity on those two devices.

-I also have issues with notification sounds. Sometimes ring and sometimes don't.

Besides these issues, I'm loving this ROM.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Yes, I did wipe everything including dalvik-cache before flashing it.

Thanks

Update: Battery out and back in.... working now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
As i understand it, with this root your can't write to system from within android and this is probably why your application fails.

Other root apps that don't require write to system should work fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
my understanding was that if i used toastcfh's root method, then flashed this ROM, i could write to system in android.

my mistake, apparently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
No. Until find a way to unlock nand, were stuck with no write terms via Android. Anyhow I just got my evo. Will be able to sift thru issues now and find fixes. Root perms we have for sure. It's just some apps are gonna need write perms and they are not gonna have those rights. I needmore context on issues to solve them. A simple "it doesn't work" isn't much help in debugging issues. But again now that I got my evo the issues will be much clearer as to what's wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] splicitysplat:
thanks toast. Is some one working on another 2.1 rooted rom where the 4g works? I live in atl and 4g is important to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Def need to find a solution for the 4G problem.

What happens with this ROM is that it will connect to 4G but you wont have access to the internet. like something in the routing table gets messed up.

That's the only issue i found with this specific ROM but i have not used it for a long time today.

(i am referring to the ZIP ROM in this post, 4G works fine in the userdebug ROM in your other post).

Not sure if its the rom or just a coincidence (sprint having issues etc...)
