[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
im quoting from the pre wiki:

Preware is a package management application for the Palm Pre and the Palm Pixi. Preware allows the user to install any package from any of the open standard package repositories on preware.org (or any other location that hosts an open standard package repository). Preware relies on a custom written service developed from community research which allows the mojo app to talk to the built-in ipkg tool.

This application was the result of extensive community-based design in IPKG Service and Preware Design.

For application management, Preware can access more applications, and has more features, than any other on-device package installer.

And since it is open source, and has a completely open development process supported by a team of world-class WebOS Internals developers, it will continue to get better much faster than any other package management application.

Preware is the open application installer that has been written specifically to support a homebrew ecosystem where any developer can upload any application to any submission site, and that application can then be installed by any user. Developers no longer need to upload their applications to multiple submission sites, and users are no longer excluded from accessing applications from any open standard package repository.

quickinstall is essentially the same thing but all actions done via your computer
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
the homebrew community for the pre was INCREDIBLE, im hoping with the growing number of users here that hopefully it will be just a good here!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Well first, the dev community here is much better. Trust me. It takes a little to get off our feet because WebOS and Android are completely different and HTC tries to block us at every move. The Evo community is moving faster than any other XDA Android community has. Don't doubt our devs :)

I knew what Preware was. I didn't realize quick install was the same thing. Ok so basically you want a repository consisting of what? Roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
roms, patches,tweaks, themes, hell even some apps on the low low haha

haha i still have my pre and follow the updates on preware using wifi.

i think if devs use rom manager that would be great...and i am sure all devs will get on that soon enough

haha yea i have noticed work on the EVO moved alot faster than any of the other android phones...

thanks for your responses chuck, ill be getting more involved here and always let me know if there is anything i can do to help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
why is that? i only ask because with the pre, palm was a really big supporter of the dev community...it just seems counter productive for htc to try and block users efforts to make the phones even more desirable and customizable...i know thats what drew so many people to the pre...also one of the reasons i loved it
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Are you referring to something like metamorph maybe used it on my hero a lot
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
ahh yea i guess in a way rom manager and meta pretty much do what preware does

i guess maybe we were trying to see if it could all be consolidated to one place [make it evo specific] and have a few more features and options??

for example: there is not flash for the camcorder...perhaps a patch to change that? or like when the light senor detects a face the phone is in earpiece, when you move your face away it automatically goes to speakerphone [i use these two examples because they are somewhat recent developments on the pre] but now that I have an idea of what kinda tweaks are possible i think we could probably move really quickly

havent played with metamorph yet but i will def check it out tonight]

EDIT #1: upon future researching metamorph it seems even more like preware than i thought, BUT the OP was talking about quickinstall...i am cool with either haha thanks for the replies

EDIT #2: i just tried to install and i guess its not ready for us yet...ill be patiently waiting i guess hah

I have a quick question to ask you guys....plz don't bother saying "Google is ur Friends" kinda looking for a definite answer b4 the rooting process...ok if I root this phone is there a way to get pass paying that ridiculous $30 payment? I know its probably called WiFi tether but would it work with the Ps3?...more anlikey if I root I'm just gonna use Flipz Stock Rom ill worry about Froyo when they actually release it :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
the wifi tether app from the market will now work for the ps3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freelancerx:
it will work for the ps3 but don't expect good results.

playing games will probably not be smooth

Yeah my friend is using the Hotspot for his ps3 with Very little lag depending on who's using the Hotspot..just want to know if I do root can I use the Hotspot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
At this point you will not be able to use the official Sprint hotspot, but you can use the wifi tether app. Even the easier unrevoked method will allow the wifi tether app. I haven't tried it since AP mode became available, and I'm not sure if it requires the toast root, but it should allow pretty much any wifi device to tether, because it just makes the EVO appear to be a router.

Also, I haven't tried this out yet, but I have read that if you are getting 4G, there is a short term loophole that will let you turn on the official hotspot app without paying for it. So if you are in an area that has 4G and don't have other reasons to root, you may want to try that first. It will only work for a few more weeks though, but the root/custom rom community will be more mature by then too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankwest:
What is so ridiculous about paying 30 dollars? I have to say that Sprints HotSpot app works great and even supports WPA while the free one that you hack in doesn't. I don't mind paying sprint the extra cash for this because if you hack it and use too much data you can get your service canceled if they find you in violated the TOS which you ARE if you do this. The nice thing about the hotspot fee is you can add and remove it from the website and not have to keep it 100% of the time.

/b
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Ridiculous is Sprint claiming we get unlimited service for one fee, yet when you want to tether then amazingly that's not part of "unlimited". Root your phone and get wifi-tether, and tell Sprint and their $30 hotspot to suck it. I used it today with 4 laptops tethered to my phone. Worked very nicely.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssolomon:
Does Wireless tether support 4G if available in your area?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] s_wall98:
I'm not real sure if this its in the right forum but it deals with making custom icons so i thought I'd put it here....feel free to move it

I recently downloaded bettercut and started making some shortcuts. Everything has worked for any app that I've downloaded but I'm having troubles with the camera, people, and mail icons. The mail icon changes but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it's back to normal. It will create the icons but when I press them I get a "linked program is no longer installed on your phone" message. Am I missing something here or can i not make custom shortcuts for stock apps?

Thanks

[EVO 4G General] mrxistenz:
I know its kind of against how cellular is designed to work but I am in a situation where a sprint signal is only barely(0 bars) available and it decides to roam (with the triangle) to a uscellular signal. The problem is that its constantly trying to stay on the sprint signal, realizing that the connection isn't good enough and goes back to the uscellular signal and is just killing performance and battery. Is there any prl update or fix I can make with the evo to just stay on the uscc signal and forget about the crappy sprint signal at this location instead of hopping between the two? Ideally I'd like something automatic but I would even settle for a toggle. The uscellular signal is a repeater that was installed at my workplace. For example, in battery status my evo; the cell standby is at 39%
[EVO 4G General] phobos512:
I am having the EXACT same issue in my office. The repeater signal in my office (850 MHz so it only repeats Verizon / AT&T / T-Mobile) is -70 dBm (full bars on my phone). The Sprint signal from outside through the foot thick cement walls is -102 or worse dBm (aka 1-0 bars). Why the hell will the phone not consistently stay on the higher power signal??

The techknowfile trick is NOT the solution to this problem. This seems like a problem with the phone itself - the whole point of a multi-band phone with free roaming is it should always pick the best signal (in my opinion).
[EVO 4G General] mrxistenz:
I tried the techknowfile trick as well with no luck. Maybe a different prl? I used the 40060.prl file suggested.

[Android Apps and Games] ChemicalMoon:
Hey guys/grils :)

I'm here to introduce my new game (wich is a pixelated clone of the blackberry) !

Torture your mind with this game !

Purpose :

Your screen is split into several small squares. You need to do that the screen is more than a single color with the least possible number of strokes!

When you finish a level, the size rise (begining at 5*5 and going to 10*10, 15*15, 20*20 etc ) :-)

Challenge your friends and have fun.

Ideal for coffee breaks, in waiting rooms, toilets etc. ...

Look for Colorised on the market !

This game is available in Free & Full version.

The free version offers only the first level !

The Full version( only 0.99€) offers unlimited sized level to have fun anywhere !
[Android Apps and Games] ChemicalMoon:
Update !

Now the game is more challenging !

The free version has now 2 levels (to let you see how dificult it becomes ! ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
Hi all, i know the Iphone isn't a popular word on XDA but the new Iphone4 is serious competition for everything out there currently. It's joint cutting edge technology at the moment and while it may be out dated in a few months apple have a way with making old technology "work" for quite a time.

I currently have an Iphone 3g and it's starting to feel very dated, i want a stronger CPU/GPU and HD recording/playback along with a gorgeous screen. This basically narrows me down to either the new Iphone4 or the Samsung Galaxy S. I'm not so interested in the Snapdragon alternatives due to the poor GPU. Maybe in real terms this wont be a factor but having the extra power from the A4 GPU will certainly be a factor at some point imo.

1) I really want to try an android device but a few things really bug me about it. The fragmentation of the OS, i read about the dozens of HTC phones lagging behind on outdated versions of android OS and it worries me, especially considering the recent samsung fiasco with the behold(i think?). but on the positive i really like the custom ability of the OS and widgets.

2) Do you guys think the app gap will close in time? considering how the Iphone is used for gaming and with the introduction of win7 mobile with xbox connectivity.

3) People keep commenting on the Iphones superior media/audio player over the android equivilent, i still dont understand whats so bad about the android media/audio player? The IPOD on the iphone isnt very complex at all imo.

4) I really dislike how closed the apple OS is, i know many others share the same feeling on this, and with OS 4 this gets even worse with stupid enforced ad's.

Does anyone have any comments to put my mind at ease or any advice on which to go for?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] v1rtu4l:
3) don't worry ... first of all samsung will either tweak the music player or add a own one to android and second (and most importantly) if you watch the audio tests, the galaxy s has a great audio-chip on it which is nearly flawless and produces great sound...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] raiden8383:
Galaxy S

1) Fragmentation- Samsung confirmed that they are working on Froyo for Galaxy S. Also They open kernel for Galaxy S. It means you will be OK.

2) Game- Even I am die-hard Android fan, I can say iOS games are better(I mean more games) for now. However Android will catch up soon.

3) Media player- Original Android OS has less attractive Media player than iOS, but you can manage files very easily than iOS.

Also, Samsung put own Media player(according to GSM arena review Music Player is really nice). It supports wide range of media formats such as MP4/ DivX/ WMV/ H.264/ H.263/ MP3/ WAV/ eAAC+/ AC3/ FLAC/ FM radio.

If you wanna stream you Media to other device, you can do it with DLNA.

If you wanna edit your Video and Image, Galaxy S offer Video and Image editor.

I recommend you to go GSM arena review.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DKYang:
1. The only reason why HTC lags behind on updating Android is because of sense. If it wasn't for that, it would be a quick update and who knows what else they do.

2. Why do people care so much about the amount of apps? If app you need is there, then that's all you need. Gaming-wise, Nintendo DS or PSP. For real though, iPhone is better in that department.

3. People look down on Android's media player because of aesthetics. Yes, the iPhone's is prettier, but does it actually sound good? I'm not saying Android sounds good either since I'm not an audiophile, but a lot have said Apple's sound quality sucks compared to others.

4. I agree.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Knobibrot:
1) besides the fact that there will be froyo for the galaxy s, you forget one very big issue: xda-developers.com!! as soon as the phone is rooted, you'll be able to get the latest version of android.

2) There are more android-phones selling in the US then iPhones. so the gap is about to be closed really soon. more and more apps get ported to android. AND don't forget the fact, that you don't need the market to get new apps for your android. there are a lot android-repositories out there in the www. another interesting fact is, that android-apps are cheaper then iphone apps. take the cnn-app for example: free for android, $1,99 (I guess) for iphone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
What matters for the sound more than the player often is the headphones, and I think I've heard that apple's headphones suck pretty much.

Goint to me nice to test out my galaxy s when it has arrived :)

I must admit I love the casing of the iPhone 4 but would want to run android with a expandable card slot :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
For me just the fact that you can't play divx or other formats on iphone is a deal breaker. I mean come on, what's up with that closed Itunes universe where u have to convert everything and can't even use ur phone as a HDD out of the box??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
1. But wont samsung be the same? I read touchwiz on the Galaxy S is a lot lighter than SenseUI but it all depends on how quick the dev team release OS updates, guess we will see how fast 2.2 comes to the Galaxy S?

2. I dont care as such, most of the games on my Iphone are redudent but gaming on the iphone has shown developers how much money they can make and fragmentation of android and the dozens of different speced mobiles can't be helping. Ill feel a lot better when Sega and EA start porting to android. Either that or when the PS1 emulator comes.

I do like this fact, i absolutely hate the process i go through to put films on my Iphone.

Im also loving the TV-Out option which im assuming will let me drag and drop a film onto my SD card, then drive to my GF's and watch it on her TV. Never used any kind of TV-Out option before.

Im hoping the XDA devs do take a good stance on the Galaxy S providing the bootloader is hackable etcetcetc.

I only knew of the gaming dev team who sold there apps outside the marketplace, the ones who did the Halo clone apps etc. How many more decent repositories are there?

or this:

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] furstrated:
the Galaxy s vs the Iphone4 is IMHO a tie.

1. the internals are almost the same, the a4 soc is a hummingbird ,presumably, downclocked tho, with a sgx535 and vxd375 graphics subsystem (interesting to note that its made by samsung). The galaxy has the hummingbird at 1ghz with sgx540 graphics subsystem.

Galaxy s=1 iphone4 = 0

2. Iphone wins in pixel density, Galaxy s wins in screen size. Galaxy s =1 iphone4 = 1

3. The iphone has top sound quality, since the 1st gen which has the wolfson dac to the 3gs which has the cirrus dac. If i have to say, the 3gs has better sq than the ipod 6gen which uses the same cirrus dac. Not quite up to par with the 7gen ipod and latest gen touch, but all uses the cirrus dac.

The Galaxy s presumably also has good sq, thats assuming from reading all the reviews and because samsung is a supplier for the iphone, im assuming it also uses the cirrus dac because of the very similar frequency response between the 3gs and the galaxy s.

Galaxy s =1 iPhone4 = 1

4. Camera- galaxy loses because it has no flash, similar resolution between the 2

Galaxy s = 0 iPhone4 = 1

5. Memory, Galaxy wins if you max the storage with 16gig + 32gig, Iphone4 wins for base storage at 16/32gig

Galaxy s = 1.5 iphone4 = 1

6. OS is subjective. i'd give android a .5 for being open and infinitely more customizable than the ios. Only .5 because of samsung's shoddy software support

7. design/construction- iphone wins here with the glass and metal over the plastic of the galaxy s.

Galaxy s = 0 iphone4 = 1

final score

galaxy s = 5

iphone4 = 5
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mykenyc:
agreed i just don't understand why not put led on this baby i mean i hardly take night photos on my phone but very few occasions i do guess its time to buy a camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Great summary! :)

Some additions:

1) Flash Player - one of the most important things for me as I use my phone to surf the web a lot. (If we don't get froyo I swear I won't touch another Samsung device in my life.)

2) 4 inch Super-Amoled screen - should be great for watching movies/looking at photos(3.5" is just too tiny)

3) Replaceable battery - Battery life goes down with age and being able to exchange it for a new one is very important(or if you want to have more than one battery)

4) Better Codec support - Having DivX and Flac support out of the box is awesome

5) No sim-locking

6) Widgets - Don't have to launch an app every time I want to get some updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
still trying to decide which way to go. i really worry about the "all plastic" casing from samsung, some people say it creaks when pressed and some say it doesnt....

i also worry about the lack of OS support in the future, how can it be that the Galaxy S might not get official OS 3.0, my iphone 3g which is 2 years old can still be updated the latest OS (altho no multitasking), it still baffles me about the android platform. Im hoping the galaxy gets a lot of XDA support.

its like trying to decide between the above two negative issues against the closed OS from apple.

i want iphone 4 reviews to hurry up!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
Either which way it goes, im going to get a casemate for my phone. I dropped my nexus one a few times and it got minor scratches on it ... i refuse to let that happen with my galaxy s.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Yup - same thing happened with my HD2. Tiny scratches, but they bring the resale value way down.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
very nice cases....never seen those before. i do agree with you both that a case would be a very smart idea with the galaxy...

are there any cases with metal in them rather than all plastic?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
I got warranty still on my nexus one and there is a cosmetic problem that the nexus one has where the paint fades away at the bottom where it connects to the dock ... ill be sure to take advantage with that with warranty.

Honestly I dont know about metal cases yet ... but i prefer the gel case not the plastic one. The gel case slips on nice, has a nice rubbery feel to it to prevent slipping in your hand and its see through.

That is one of the main problems with me and the nexus one ... when i first got it I was used to phones slightly thicker than it so when i took it out of my jeans. I guess my hands were programmed for bigger phone that it would just slip out of my hands.

Now the galaxy s is slimmer than the nexus one ... ill have to get used to the thinness of it.
