I run a Task 29 before every installation of a ROM. It cleans out any chances of funky info still hanging out.

I haven't tried the new radio yet, I'll have to do that sometime, out of the 2.08, 2.9 and 2.10 radio's I have found for my area 2.09 works the best (and has the least battery drain). I usually run the radio's for a week to get a good gauge on what they do.

The extra step I think you are refering too is the ROMUPDATE utility program.

Just download the utility and unzip it into a folder; for instance c:\ROM

Then download the ROM of choice, and unzip it to the same folder c:\ROM

Then run the "ROMUpdateUtility" program and it will see the "RUU_signed.nbh" file and put it on your phone via USB connection.

Then whenever you want to install any other ROM, all you need is the "RUU_signed.nbh" file and you can use the same utility program every time ;-)
[Android Software Development] dismal moron:
.ducks/rolls. Hey - It's not nice to throw things. :D

Ok, I know it's been asked a million times, so before you cut my heart out and eat it with buttered toast, hear me out. I understand that pin messaging is on a closed network, I have searched the forums here, and numerous other places, and everyone agrees on the same thing.

Blackberry just released the 4.6 JDE publicly.

There is a website, Web2Pin, that provides free priority 1 messages to blackberries; and offers to design services around the BBM platform, but they charge an extraordinary amount of money and deal only with corporations.

My thoughts are that there has to be a secondary licensing system from blackberry, and that there has to be a way to design third party software, because it's obviously been done.

I'm not Java-wise, nor Android-wise, so my logic is most likely flawed, but I thought I'd put it out there and see what happens.
[Android Software Development] sunder74:
I'm a long time blackberry user (since the 7100 series) I know this has been talked about several times...I know it has something to do with having a valid pin as thats how bbm communicates with the BIS servers. The program would have to clone a pin or something and be able to ping the server and get access I would think...BlackBerry development has reached several third parties but bbm is a core app and liscensed by RIM so I dont know if or how it could be done would be nice...The final insult to injury lol.
[Android Software Development] dismal moron:
@Sunder74

That's what I had originally thought as well. But I also remember a few years ago when there was a little known, functioning application for WM5 that would do pin messaging (I had tested it while I was working Data Tech at a VZW Call Center).

There's also the up and coming Blackberry Application Suite. It currently only works with BES. I've a hunch that it's probably because they're going to sell pin numbers to corporations or bes server admins.

My other thought is, RIM would probably be more open to selling PIN licenses to individuals if there was a functional, stable piece of software (or base coding) for them to advertise alongside it.

Before the Blackberry App store, I remember going to a website that linked to a bunch of OTA installers grouped by category.

I don't just really want this to work. All the pieces seem to be there. Web2pin proves that the licenses can be purchased and used with bis, somehow. BBAS is about to roll out on WM. It's has to be possible.

I know! I'll sit down in my thinking chair and... Think. Think. Think.
[Android Software Development] nexus9988:
I think the issue here is your all thinking inside the box. Android developers should design there own bbm styled app where android users would get AndroidPins and using the exact framework to create a competition and not a way to just communicate to bb people.

Android Messenger

ver 1.0

Android Pins: A9999-A999999999

Can send msgs threw data just like black berries

Would be free and you could make a donation or pay 1$ for the app

you register your number on the app and you recieve a android pin from the server

and basiclly figure out how to send pushes for when the person recieves and opens and responds to the message

the concept is there for android but i dont think people realize that black berry is like apple they try to close source there stuff which is ok but when android is open source you can litterally work on setting this app to work for communicating with apple iphones maybe blackberries too if you have the skill

just throwin around that idea
[Android Software Development] SpeeDemon:
I do not know if you have ever noticed this, but bbm is RIM's largest ad campaign. There is very little chance that they would sell bbm PIN's.
[Android Software Development] Master_sk3:
actually theres a app being developed for android its called Hello Messenger. Its already out for iOS and Blackberrys, it works just like bbm, with pin numbers and group chats. Follow them on twitter, @hellomessenger. Also theres a Android beta coming out soon, I signed up for it at http://hellomessenger.com/android/. Tell your friends.

there's also whatsapp
[Android Software Development] Chewitt:
im waiting for WhatsApp it is out for iOS, BBOS, they are developing it for Android 2.1+, WM and S60. It uses your mobile number as your pin so to speak.
[Android Software Development] eddyther:

After few hours/days you will get an email like the one i posted allowing you to use the soft.

I forgot yo say that You have to include in the email your full mobile number (with country code), the same that you use in the app. They use it to activate your app.
[Android Software Development] dekend:
Me and my friends used blackberry messenger for the longest time. Mainly the groupchat feature because it was basically a live chat room for only your friends to share pics voice records and randomness. Unfortunately both pinchat and whatsapp do not supply a good group chat. pinchat does have a group chat but its garbage compared to the BBmsger group chat and whatsapp is just flawed. I am still in search for a good group chat program that is also cross platform. or at least on android.
[Android Software Development] PrawnPoBoy:
Non-BB users underestimate how much people love BBM. If there's going to be a cross-platform alternative, it has to do everything that BBM does as close to the way BBM does it as possible. PingChat and WhatsApp come close, but they aren't going to win over BBM users with their subtle, but important deficiencies. I'm looking forwards to the Android release of Hello! to compare.

The biggest problem is that BBM comes installed on BlackBerry phones, and it's going to be VERY hard convincing BB users to install something else. Android and iPhone users are more happy to install new apps, but having everyone pick one app and stick with it is a challenge as well.
[Android Software Development] doaneramma:
Why not try ICQ, throwing a homage to the original IM. Its got native clients for most, if not all platforms. Its even usually listed as a quick install link on BB. Facebook chat is integrated (on desktop and Android versions, don't knpw about Java/Symbian and iOS). You get a number for anti-spaming (like a PIN if you REALLY want to emulate BB).

Yes, some would say "just use X IM app then." But its the only one with native support other than fring. And I find fring clumsy, plus does not have a desktop version.

I have BBM on my work BB. And I know that its superior in a lot of ways, but willing to bet that the reason a lot of features aren't being duplicated are likely legal, not technical, reasons. So I think this is a viable option until whatsapp or others have the kinks worked out (have yet to have a successful convo in 2 days!). Maybe with enough interest they can get the things we want added.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turn:
i'm not asking this because i think it was any fault of your tutorial, but because i'm guessing you'd know the answer: when first going into recovery and installing update from .zip, i'd had whatever rom removed all of sprint's bloatware, but in the format it came in after downloading. after selecting the update, it said no update had been found. i rebooted and renamed the file to update.zip, but after trying the aforementioned steps again, it said the file didn't meet the verification of something. this is starting to aggravate me; i've been trying for a while to load a custom rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
update.zip is the 1mb~ recovery zip, leave the rom named what it was.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukins:
If you just want to add zip files do you have to have full root? I currently am using unrevoked as I dont need full root, at least I dont think I will. LOL

For some reason this is still not adding my zip file. I have been though this process 3 times. Its really frustrating. All I want to do is add one zip file. Pulls out hair.

Has anybody on here been able to compile/boot their own evo kernel? I have been able to

compile a kernel just fine but given the limitations of fastboot on our spl i cannot test the

image using "fastboot flash zimage zImage". I have tried packing the kernel into a boot

image then signing and flashing rom. This got me stuck at the 1st boot screen. I have also

tried to unpack and repack the stock boot image without making any edits and that fails at

the first boot screen as well. So I believe there is definately something different to the

procedure of flashing or creating boot images.

So does anybody have any advice? maybe a fix? If anyone is able to boot a custom kernel please send me a pm!
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
haven't had a chance to test out the kernel ... i know in flipz supersonic .6 rooted ROM a kernel is flashed in the update.zip file. not sure what kernel this is since the OTA update from .1 to .6 the boot.img didnt change, md5sum the same. i didnt compare the md5sum of the boot.img hes using to the RUU boot.img .

i know the froyo ROM on here flashes a boot.img, which i think remember reading was compiled from toast's kernel source. i'd imagine mainly with a modified init.rc ...

hope that helps a bit and gives you some motivation its possible although the two examples i've given are from toast and flipz who both appear to be ahead of the curve!

once the htc kernel source hits i plan on kernel compiling ...

because they exist in the rom, meaning even if you did remove them, they would come back when you hard reset. SOme rom files make a copy of themselves that can be deleted (till next hard reset) but some dont.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrigham:
That white HTC screen is just the loading screen for Sense. Sounds like something is killing Sense while it's in the background so it has to reload when you go back to the home screen. Are you using any kind of app killer w/ auto kill turned on?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhawk2002:
Well, I've "cleared storage" and I am still getting the same problem... Any other possible solutions?

You said, "not being fully rooted has something to do with your problem", so should I fully root my EVO and see if that works?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
You should see that screen when coming from a different home screen. You know how when you start some PC applications there is a splash screen that comes up for a few seconds while it loads? That is exactly what that white HTC screen is.

The HTC launcher is a bit more resource hungry than some of the others, so it has to load some stuff into memory every time it starts. However it is supposed to stay in memory so you can open a music app/game/browser/etc. and then go back to home without waiting for it to load.

If you are seeing that screen something has killed the HTC Sense process since you were last on the homescreen. If you are not running something like a task killer, it is probably that whatever ROM you are running has settings that kill apps quickly, this is often done for performance or battery life, but yours is too aggressive.

Only other possibility I can think of would be if sense is crashing and has to restart every time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayKC:
I'm having this same issue. I'm running a stock EVO, and HTC Sense will reloading sometimes when unlocking/tapping home.

[HD2 General] theblake:
As far as I know (In my area) H is for HSDPA, which is an enhanced form of 3G. So it seems that you are getting 3G data... While G stands for GPRS, which is 2G.

No idea what the U would stand for though.

Also, if you have 3G enabled to auto-connect (I presume it is, if it's switching between the connections,) then your phone should just pick up a 3G signal whenever it can find it. If 3G is patchy in your area, you won't be able to get it all the time.
