[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
here is a guide for flashing a rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

you do not need to do the hardspl stuff since your phone already has it.

please work out whether your phone is a TMOUS(t-mobile USA, 1024MB/1GB phone) as opposed to a EURO/AUS (Any carrier, 512MB phone). Once you know this choose a rom for your phone, the TMOUS roms are clearly labelled.

once you have done that, if you want to flash a custom rom, choose one you like the look of from here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534

I really cant advise you on this its your own choice take a look at the pictures and the add/removed software lists and see if you like what they have done with it.

please note that many rom chefs(developers) have produced roms under the same name with different subnames, such as this energy rom:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591784 it has 7 different versions, with different stuff removed/added.

As for going back to a official HTC rom, I am told(I am not 100% positive about this, if someone could confirm?) it is as simple as just getting the latest rom from the HTC website and installing it, HTC will guide you into downloading the right rom.

I have also seen that this removes your hardspl, so if you ever want to install a new custom rom again you will need to redo hardspl as per the instructions in that tutorial thread I linked.

The hd2 was well advertised with Transformers. Every commercial of one or the other had both products (transformers-hd2)

The Evo wasnt advertised with any movies that I know of. It might of been a rumor started somewhere but i dont think it was to ever have the 2 come with the phone.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Nope! Doesn't come with any movies but I copied Transformers 1, from my HD2 sd card and copied to the evo sd card and it works just as well (if not a little smoother) with the evo stock video player.

Is anyone else having problems with the Friend Stream widget? It worked fine for me up until I rooted and installed Flipz's stock ROM update. Now, it always says "No recent updates" on the widget, however if I open the app there is very clearly a large amount of recent updates. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
[EVO 4G General] masbirdies:
Mine just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this problem? Any one have a possible solution?

Mine works in landscape mode. In portrait mode, I have to use home/menu/notifications to get there. It's like the touch on that row is dead or something.

Any insights as to a fix would be appreciated. I have tried reboot, soft reset, and a factory data reset.

I tried that but I am still getting the same message. :confused:
[Touch GSM General] ZaLiTHkA:
If the CID unlocking didn't work, and you don't have and sort of SPL protection installed (HSPL or USPL), then you won't be able to install any of the Onyx ROMs. Or any other custom cooked ROM for that matter... A list of the HTC RUU error codes can be found here if it helps.

Personally, I would recommend HSPL 2.28 from this thread, but it's up to you.

Edit: I just noticed a senior moderator gave the same advice yesterday in another thread you opened (link).

Guys,

I've been sent this link from a new member [djdiablo] who can't post links yet.

The links fine and legit, I also know of the member who sent me link from the AndroidForum so again nothing to worry of.

Bear in mind though by default it's a Chinese site but Google Translate automatically translated the entire contents easily.

Anyway, the link which goes to the Mobile01 web site has instructions and lots of detailed pictures in how to dissect the i9000 Galaxy S.

Comments please before passing onto cookers. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djdiablo:

Thanks for the help, Beards!!

Yes, I feel these pics could prove very valuable to the Dev Team/ROM cookers as they will be able to see each part that is inside the phone so they will know what they are about to deal with.

Really looking forward to this phone!!

[EVO 4G General] s0v3r1gn:
I don't belive a space in an email address(just like a web address) is ANSI or ISO capable. This would not be a bug, it would be following the national and international communications standards.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
There is no such thing as an email address with a space. Try a "_" or a "."

If its a work email you may be used to typing in real names and it fills it using your company contact book. In that case you might see an email address with a space, but it is just the program hiding the real address from you.
[EVO 4G General] defcon6:

[EVO 4G General] remailednet:
I did try and it wouldn't allow a space when adding an account.

Per RFC3696 Section 3 Checking and Transformation of Names, you do have to escape it but:

"Fred\ Bloggs"@example.com should not be rejected in filtering routines but, should instead be passed to the email system for evaluation by the destination host

That doesn't mean that a vendor will adhere to it, and in this case it looks like they don't.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] buddyrich:
PAY ATTENTION

He said USER NAME.... NOT EMAIL ADDRESS!!!

This is a real problem for the US gov and anybody using Domino Servers. The default user name is first space last. The EVO will let you put a space in for an exchange server in the USER NAME (which is not the same as the email address) but the pop3 or Imap won't. Sprint has verified this to be a problem but some of us are looking for a WORK AROUND and not what others think they know about everything. SO does anybody have any actual useful info on how to get around this till the firmware update?
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I went into setup exchange active sync. Went to manual setup and was able to type a space in the user name? Am I missing something? I dont' have an exchange account that has a space in the username to actually finish the setup, but it let me type it in.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Probably a dumb idea, but did you try to type it in a 'normal' text box and copy/paste it???
[EVO 4G General] buddyrich:
Exchange will. POP or Imap manual setup won't won't let you put that space in.

ANYBODY out there using Domino I found the temp workaround is to go into the USER on the domino server and add the user name without the space. Also go to the mail file ACL and add the user without the space and no server. This will allow you to use the pop on the Domino server.
[EVO 4G General] bedoig:

Since we currently can't write to /system while Android is running, the AdFree app is unfortunately unusable. However, here is the hosts file that the app supplies you with, so you can still put it into your phone manually.

Download the attached file, unzip it and place the hosts file on your sdcard. Then, open up a command prompt, load up your recovery menu (using the instructions in toastcfh's guide) and type:

adb shell
mount /system
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc/hosts
exit

Now you're AdFree :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] karilofyore:
@ acme64 : Some people in market comments complained that it doesn't work fine anymore and it's a root app with closed source. Since it was simple to write a similar tool I did it for myself mainly.

@ Don74y3 : The way to use the application is to put a URL to a hosts file. You may use for example the one in the screenshot (I can't put the link here because of forum rules but use Google to search for "hosts file winhelp2002" and from the first link, take the address from "To view the HOSTS file in plain text form") and then click "Apply". What the program does is get that file and put it in your (rooted) Android phone. That file in turn lets the phone avoid domains that serve ads or malware. The app can take more URLs and merge them, but that's not necessary. After clicking "Apply" it is recommended to reboot the phone to make sure the changes go into effect. You will see that the pages load faster and without ads.

P.S. I'm not affiliated with the guys that make that hosts file, though I'm grateful for their work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MattSkeet:
Unable to figure out system mount point.

Can you please help with this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] karilofyore:
Hi, the programs tries to figure out where the /system partition is mounted on your phone (this is because it has to switch it to read-write, put the hosts file and switch it back to read-only). I wrote the program to parse the output of the "mount" command.

Unfortunately it seems that on your phone the output is far different than what I expected. I don't know how to fix this unless you can send me the output of that command on your phone - by PM for example. To do this use adb (try to Google for how to get Android Debug Bridge) with your phone connected: run "adb shell" from a command prompt and at the shell prompt type "mount" without quotes and send me the output - at least the line that contains "/system".
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Alon G:
Hi,

I have a different question.

I used adFree but then decided that I actually wanted see the ads on my apps.

I removed AdFree but the ads are still gone.

Is there a way to bring them back?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] UndeadCircus:
I think the guy posted this in the wrong forum. The Evo has no problems using AdFree (isn't that why AdFree asks for root permissions in the first place?).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
I would suggest, reinstall adFree, update and download hosts, then the other button in the app, "revert" should undo your hosts file, I believe.

If that doesn't work, it can also be done thru root explorer. I can't remember the location of the hosts file ATM, but if you can't get it, I'll look for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] UndeadCircus:
You can go into your "/etc/hosts" file and replace all of the contents in the file with the following:

That should revert it back. If you look in that file and it lists a TON of different addresses after the 127.0.0.1 pointer, then you'll know AdFree didn't uninstall itself from your hosts. It's a simple fix.

If you can't edit the hosts file on your phone, just download the attachment that I included and take off the ".txt" extension so that the file has NO extension and then copy it to your "/etc" directory. I had to make it a .txt file so that the forum would allow me to upload it as an attachment.

I'm pretty sure you'll need R/W access before you can copy it in the folder, which isn't a problem. Just use RootExplorer or any other file manager capable of setting your filesystem to Read/Write and then copy the file over.

Hi i've been playing with skinning vito's winterface lately as there is a general lack of information (i found a few things that help but they are all over the place)

I will attach some of my work in the second post!

so....

How to skin winterface with your custom icons...

1. copy either icons.bmp or light_icons.bmp from the \Program Files\vito\winterface\skins\bin folder from your device.

2.this image has a grid of icons 42x42 pixles which you can edit using GIMP or Photo shop.

The icons are as follows:

When editing the image IT IS VITAL TO SAVE IT IN A SPECIFIC FORMAT:

Save as a Windows Bitmap (*.bmp) with the advanced option of '16 bit R5 G6 B5'

Also Transparancies don't seem to work, so plan to have a background for everything.

3. When the image editing is complete copy the file back to the same folder (BACKING UP THE EXISTING FILES IN THE FOLDER ARE HIGHLY RECOMENEDED) and change skins in winterface.

When selecting the file to overwrite choose it carefully as each file has a mask (a second image telling it what to make transparent), and this is the reason my PB3000 skin doesn;t work (i need to create a mask file).

I have not yet worked out how to edit the name of a skin; or create an entirely new one, just how to edit the existing ones.
[Windows Mobile Themes] datristan:
My samples

I have attached 2 files:

IReflect.zip a winterface skin based on BluemetalAxe's IReflect Icons

(i recomend overwriting Stamp_icons for this theme)

and

PB3000.zip a winterface skin (that failed to work) supposed to make winterface look like a pipboy 3000...
[Windows Mobile Themes] iambenz:
it doesn't work as well when I edited your bmp file using photoshop.

[Windows Mobile Themes] datristan:
the bmp settings are probably wrong... 16 bit BMP R5 G6 B5; this will mean ;your pc won't be able to preview it though.
