[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
Once you are rooted, you don't want to flash the stock unrooted ROM, I think. I would get joeyrkim's stock rooted ROM or something similar.

You also don't need unrEVOked. When you root, you should have an app called Superuser Permissions that will prompt you whenever an app asks for su (admin) permissions.

Right after you root, you probably have toast's dev ROM (not sure what it is called exactly, it is the ROM contained within the PC36IMG.zip if I understand correctly) on your phone. I don't think that one is supposed to be used, but I think it is supposed to be flashed over right after. If you just want a stock experience with root, I think you should snag joeyrkim's stock ROM here:

Make sure you update your radio too:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696462

I dunno if joeyrkim's ROM comes with the superuser app, which is kinda essential so flash this after flashing everything:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828 "su-2.1-cd-signed.zip"

Try rooting again (I recommend manually, not using the scripts). I don't like Clockwork recovery altogether too much, so I flashed Amon_Ra recovery (I think) and left it at that. The root process should give you a custom recovery though (Part 2).

To flash a ROM:

Go into recovery using a method you have.

From there you should go to Backup/Restore and do a Nand backup, just in case.

Then go to wipe and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. The one I use wipes data and cache together.

Then go to Flash ZIP from SD or something similar and select the zip you want to flash.

If you keep having problems, I think you should root the manual way. It is more involved and time consuming, but IMO it will give you a greater understanding of the process and stop the smaller glitches the automated root has, if it has any.

I currently have WiFi tether running perfectly. I don't use ROM Manager, though.

I hope this helps... And anyone correct me if I am wrong. I am pretty new to the scene myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junon:
This was actually SUPER helpful, I didn't realize that 'rooting' itself doesn't really get you root, it just gets you the ability to get a rooted rom on there. I think that, combined with the other things you told me should allow me to FINALLY move forward on my EVO. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Very happy with my EVO 4G and was looking for an adapter that will allow me to hook up a 3.5mm and charging cables in the car. I know I can do that by just plugging the audio cable on top and the charging cable in the bottom but I am looking for a more clean solution that will allow me to plug both cables at the bottom.

I have the 3 in 1 Adapter pictured below from my previous HTC windows phone but the end that connects to the phone is ExtUSB. If you guys know an adapter that goes from Micro USB to ExtUSB that will help as well. I am assuming that this would allow me to use the current adapter I have.

Thank you in advance for your help!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bielinsk:
I am looking for the same thing. I had an adapter for my Hero that would plug into the bottom USB and had power and headphone out on it.

I am trying to find something similiar for the Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wesbalmer:
It would be interesting to see if the newer 3.5mm phones are even ready for this function, as there is typically a second set of pins dedicated to this function
[EVO 4G Accessories] donjgmz:
Doing some additional research and found this adapter for sale:

http://www.ecrater.com/p/8124399/micro-usb-plug-for-htc-s900

Don't know if it will work with the EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
The Touch Pro was the phone I used to have (on AT&T called the Fuze)...And it used ExtUSB. So no, this adapter won't work as it's doing the same thing the one the OP showed is doing.

Frankly I think it's funny that you guys want a single cable when for years the average joe has been pushing the manufacturers to have standard 3.5mm cables. I don't think that these phones have the capability to push their audio over the standard microUSB connector (ExtUSB is 11 pins, 5 of which are custom for HTC dedicated to audio).
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
I want both, I want the single cable because it's easier (and safer, less risk of breaking the phone) to have one cable plugged in for everything in the car instead of having to plug/unplug something to the and bottom every time you get in/out of the car. I had one on my vogue(because it had no 3.5mm jack) and it was very nice to just be able to flick it out with my thumbnail when i went to get out.

The one for my vogue had 4 ports, data usb, htc usb headset, 3.5mm, 2,5mm. I would try it in my vogue but it's got a funky squareish mini usb plug on it so my converter doesn't work.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scirio:
I've been looking for the same thing as the threadstarter!

I have a really clean set up in my car with a clean wired-in dash mount and a single extUSB cable with a nice right-angle keeping the cable tucked away and nearly out if site. It charges my phone plays audio through an extra input on my stereo deck (AUX input on rear of deck).

I was pretty frustrated that HTC moved to Micro USB over extUSB since it breaks what has been working for my since i've had the HTC Touch and Hero. Now I have to go and change everything.

If a Micro USB audio/charger adapter EVER COMES OUT I'll connect it and pair it with this to keep my single cable setup working awesomely:

http://www.usbfirewire.com/Parts/rr-mcbl-ext-xxg.html

Does anybody know if the Micro USB implementation on the EVO has audio wired in to it? I think the Nexus one's does.
[EVO 4G Accessories] xviiivx:
Has anyone been able to confirm or deny whether you can get audio out of the micro USB port? What I really want probably isn't possible, but I want to be able to plug a regular micro USB cable from my phone to a USB port that will be flush mounted on my console, and under the console would be an adapter to split audio and power. I do appreciate the audio jack on the top, but it would make for a much cleaner install in the car if you could run a single cable. If no one has even tried it yet, I may buy the cables and adapters and see what happens. They're not that expensive..

Speaking of clean installs in the car.. if you haven't heard of them, check out kuda mounts. I just ordered one, and as soon as I get it installed, I'll post some pics. They're kind of expensive, but if you don't like the mounts with a suction cup on the windshield, or the ones that clip onto the A/C vents, the kuda mounts really are the best option..assuming they make one for your car.
[EVO 4G Accessories] midri:
I just ordered a mini usb version from deal extreme, I'll tear it down and wire it into micro usb and see what I can get out of the EVO (probably be a week or so before I get my hardware)
[EVO 4G Accessories] xviiivx:
I found micro usb head sets on ebay that say they work on Evo, so that's good enough for me. I'm wondering if I could plug a regular data cable into this: http://www.meritline.com/female-miniusb-female-usb-adapter-472---p-30323.aspx (if I can find a place that has them in stock) and then plug my old touch pro adapter into that. I'm not too optimistic about it working, but it would be cool if it did.
[EVO 4G Accessories] midri:
A lot of those converters are power only, be weary.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bob6789x:
Has any one figured this out yet? I just ditched my iphone 3g and returned the 4 for an EVO. I had apples composite cables with USB on it so I could put in the dock connector then i have a custom cig lighter with USB on accessory power behind the dash and the red/white leads going into the back of my deck for left and right audio. Worked flawlessly on both iphones. Looking for a way to have the USB on the EVO do the same thing. If anyone finds a cord or a slew of adapter I can throw behind my radio, let me know lol.

I miss streaming internet radio in my car (DI.FM is the ****). *For now I'm using my old iPhone 3G(no service) plugged into my existing setup and tethered to my EVO's rooted wifi hotspot to stream the radio. I know its janky, but only way I know atm.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
This is not what most of you guys are after at all, but I'll put it out there nonetheless because of how well it's worked for me, so it's an alternative worth considering. I've been using this Kensington adapter/doohickey for a while, at first with my iPod touch ('till I got tired of not being able to skip songs w/the remote, iOS bug), then w/my SE feature phone, and now w/my EVO.

It's called the Kensington LiquidAux, it's basically just a small Bluetooth adapter, the size of a USB charger (in fact it IS a USB charger, more on that in a bit), that goes into your cig lighter, and it has a standard 3.5mm cable that you plug into your AuxIn on your deck. As you may have guessed, audio is piped in from your phone to your stereo over Bluetooth via the adapter, it doubles as a handsfree kit, and when you want to charge your phone there's also a USB port for charging devices right from the LiquidAux (port's on the bottom), quite clever.

As long as you don't mind using BT to pipe audio into your aux in (sounds pretty clear, FWIW), this would still allow you to use just one cable (for charging), or none at all if you don't need to charge at the time. I play music on my car w/this all the time and frankly it's not much of a battery drain so I only use it to charge the phone when I've been using WiFi tethering mid-day, or when I'll be using the GPS, or w/e.

I attached the wireless remote it comes with to my steering wheel but not w/the included strap, altho it works quite well (but doesn't look very slick). I tucked it into a nook on the left hand side of my Civic's steering wheel with double sided tape (it's not visible at all, almost looks stock).

The mic isn't the greatest but I didn't buy it to use it as a handsfree device primarily, it's fine for a quick "where are you" or w/e call, not great for longer conversations (my phone's own mic/speaker actually works better in that case). I think I've seen a couple of bad reviews for it online, mostly from iPhone/iPod users that were bugged they couldn't skip tracks (it's a fault of iOS' own Bluetooth profiles, not the device) or complaints about static (if you turn UP your phone's volume and you turn DOWN the car stereo's volume there's no static and bass response, etc remains strong).

It seems to be harder to find online right now, I bought it about a year ago for like $40, I still see it at CompUSA all the time (yes CompUSA re-opened in certain locations). I'd hate to think that Kensington stopped making the standard Bluetooth/smartphone version in lieu of the iPhone/iPod specific version, ugh.

What I love most about the setup is that I just get in the car, hit Play, and I'm good to go... Same as any car w/built-in Bluetooth. I don't even have to take the phone out of my pocket. I used to have a dock and whatnot (for my iPod touch) but I got WAY tired of messing w/all that every time I got in the car, even the simple act of hooking up the 3.5mm cable got tiresome. Someone else out there has got to be making an equivalent BT adapter...
[EVO 4G Accessories] bob6789x:
I finally just bought a 3.5mm to RCA adapter for my EVO so I could run the two red/white leads to the back of my radio. (I know I know, no aux port on my GM radio even in the back, but I have an adapter that was cheap that gives me RCA jacks on the back tucked away behind the dash.) Now I got my old iPhone out of the equation, but require the USB car charger + 3.5mm cord to charge and play. I will deal with that for now I guess.
[EVO 4G Accessories] xviiivx:
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I had never seen that before now, and it does look great. I google'd the part number (K33428US) and found a few places that have them in stock. I think I'll scrap my previous plans and buy one of these.. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverZero:
If you find something you like that uses mini-USB, you could use this adapter to bridge it to the Evo's micro-USB.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cytoking:
Hello, guys, I have a problem when I upgraded my X7500 with Athena Unlocker.

When it came to step 2--unlock radio, the machine had no response and disconnect itself. Now I can only arrive at the three color screen. And it showed that the IPL---v2.02, SPL---v1.20 Olipro. (My former IPL is v2.02, SPL--v1.10)

So what should I do? Is it bricked or not? I have searched the wiki, it said that I should flash the ROM. So which ROM should I choose?

BTW, how I can charge the battery?

Thanks in advance!

I was just thinking about that yesterday!

Can anyone confirm if any IR emitter exists on the 'phone?

no IR.

Whatever that it uses to transmit (bluetooth probably) its only compatible with Samsung TVs manufactured in 2010+

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyron:
First off, does anyone know of a good picture frame widgit that allows for a larger frame size than the default widgit one? paid or non paid is fine

Second question is, is it possible to mod the stock wallpaper software to allow selecting pictures in portrait mode instead of the regular landscaped selection? I know I can just use an app like Wallpaper Plus, but I really do not like that app because it is extremely unpolished with lots of bugs and glitches and the dev has not updated the app in ages
[General Questions and Answers] Satertek:
The other day I dropped my phone from a few feet onto some hard concrete, afterwards I lost signal at work, and at home I only get 2-3 bars at best.

I doubt there's anything I can do for it but figured I could post and see if this has happened to anyone else. How is the antennas attached? Are they integrated directly into the main PCB? (If that's the case there's probably nothing to be done but replace the phone as it's already 3 years old)

(Seems strange that it still partially works, at roughly 50% strength)

It's a T-Mobile Wing (aka HTC Herald). (And not a firmware issue as I've tried a few with no effect)
[Desire General] oursoul:
Now I find out I cant even set an animated gif as a wallpaper.

For all this **** this phone can do there seems to be SOO much it can't do.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
It's 'the new way forward' :D Be glad you don't have a device that starts with an i ... Even more restrictions and things it can't do.

On the other hand, who wants ugly old obsolete animated gifs as wallpaper anyway? Android allows for much much better and nicer wallpapers.

But oh well, it's all personal eh. So far I didn't run into anything the Desire couldn't do when I wanted something done... no.. NO! That's not entirely true, I want to use my Desire as a bluetooth keyboard for my PS3. It can't do that :D ... YET!
[Desire General] bisko:
oursol, I have to agree with RaptorRVL - who nowadays would want to set an ugly looking pixelated, repetitive gif animation for background? We have muuuuch better Live wallpapers!

RaptorRVL ... bluetooth keyboard... I can only add a finishing YET to your post :) They got android on a f...n washing machine! :D
[Desire General] oursoul:
Okay, agreed.. but I am finding the little things just a little bit annoying so I needed to rant.

Is there a way of converting animations (flash or gif) to a live wallpaper?
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
tbh I feel your pain oursoul.

I've been looking at modding the Desire with themes, and icons etc. and I've pretty much hit a brick wall. While this phone is good for Dev's and people seriously into computing, to someone like me, whos wizo on photoshop but not into cmd:// stuff i'm finding this phone pita. The iPhone was much easier to fiddle with.

and I never thougtht I'd say that.

simples

Jailbreak, EXE, follow instructions, done

OpenSSH, find files, edit, compile into folder.

Open Winterboard, tick theme, Restart springboard.

Done

Android

Root phone, follow long drawn out process, upposed to EXE

At this point I'd had enough, frankly bricking the Desire, isn't worth it, and by what i've been told so far, making a theme will require java coding, and repacking into a APK.

tbh I'm seriously considering a iPhone 4, the only thing keeping me on the Desire is the idea of 2.2 with flash 10.1 if it doesn't show up, i'll be off.

so yes oursoul, I understand your frustrations completely...
[Desire General] xtcislove:
U can install skins with metamorph MUCH easier than winterboard u can NeVER say that theming and editing of the phone in iPhone is easier than in Android thats just stupid!very stupid!
[Desire General] brandon1108:
lol, I haven't found 1 live wallpaper out of the 30 I have tried which hasn't

lagged the hell out of my phone. I don't know weather it's simply bad coding

or what - but for now, live wallpapers are simply unusable for me.

(this is also with the processor at 1200mhz)

hopefully with all the claimed performance enhancements found in froyo however, the desire will handle them better ;)
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
ill try metamorph out, but what i'm saying is from a n00bie, position is i'm trying to add to this community with themes, etc but i can't find out jack and when i do people tell me i've got to go routing through the guts of the phone, which i don't want to be doing, if i'm wrong, and it's not that involved i retract my previous statement, but at the moment i'm not getting very far, and thats not from a lack of effort.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Live wallpaper work fine for me at 1ghz! No lag at all.

On the subject of theming. Why not use an alternative home? Freedhome allows for a LOT of customization.

What exactly would you change? There are a million homes that change the look and function of the bottom bar. Wallpapers obviously you can change. There isn't much to change really.
[Desire General] Kizmet:
Give it time... it'd be crazy to do too much skinning just yet because who knows the full impact of the coming OTA on Sense.

I'm also a noob on android... so there's much to learn. :D
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
well all the icons would change the wallpaper obviously, colour scheme, probably even audio too to suit the theme. I want to complete skin the OS.

I've just managed to root the desire, got the SU icon on the menu. and i'm now trying to work out how to access the phones internal files?
[Desire General] jimlad:
i conquer, maybe lag issues are down to branded phone bloatware:confused:
[Desire General] RetroFlux:
Sorry to jump on the post but I am have an animated gif issue too:

I can't play them in a web browser, I have tried the built in browser, opera and dolphinHD but they just wont play. I am sure I read somewhere that 2.1 gives this functionality, yes I know some of you may say why would you want to play them anyway but this is old and basic functionality that I could do years ago on non smart phones.

Is it just my Desire that is at fault?
[Desire General] samac92:
That's what I've felt like as well, coming from an iPod touch I expected Android to be like an already jailbroken iPhone, turns out it's not that easy and there is a lot of stuff you just can't do. I am very tempted to get an iPhone 4 for other reasons as well, such as the fact that this phone is terrible as a media device.
[Desire General] Balos:
I agree. For an open os and 1ghz, there seems to be alot it can not do with this phone. I cant use total recall to record calls what even my old nokia could. I can not use an screenshoot app without rooting the stupid thing. I can not record video with smooth fps. I can not play divx/xvid out of the box like with samsung spica. This are just some things im missing.

The live wallpaper do slow down my unbranded phone also. This isnt free on the cpu and battery either.
[Desire General] slyn4ice:
Just a suggestion...

Why don't you stop whining and next time before you buy a phone - research it and find out if it does what you need it to do! There is no point in *****ing in here. Coming from an iPod Touch user (mainly as a PDA) I AM IN HEAVEN WITH MY DESIRE AND I WOULD NEVER LOOK BACK!
[Desire General] slyn4ice:
... Very Very VEry VERY stupid! Completely agree.
[Desire General] rowanparker:
It sounds more like you're just expected something to be simple and getting in a huff when it's not. Rooting is quite straightforward (easier on the Desire than the Hero in my experience say) if you can follow instructions and copy and paste.

But anyway, now that you have rooted. Go into recovery, use adb and pull '/system/framework/framework-res.apk', extract that, play around with it (change graphics and what not, but be careful and make sure you backup your original framework-res.apk file), repack the apk (it's just a signed zip - it might not even need signing) and push it back with adb. I warn you, I've not actually tested this myself but give it a go.

I'd make a nandroid backup before to be on the safe side (worst comes to worst you'd have to flash a new rom). If you didn't understand anything I said then look it up as I only know it from reading it.

Good luck, Rowan.

Edit: I just tried this to edit my alarm icon and confirm it doesn't need signing.
