[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] firefly123:
I was wondering if there are any extra precautionary steps I could take with a rooted rom when visiting banking sites or other places where security is very important?

I read this piece about the dangers of rooted roms which gave me some concern:

http://androidandme.com/2009/09/hacks/why-not-everyone-should-root-their-android-phones/

Before any of you go off on a rant, just read the article. I think it's reasonably argued. What worries me is that I can find so few voices that sound similar concerns.

What about having something like a separate partition or boot for when you wanted to do extra special secure things. Is that feasible? or realistic? I mean, sure you could reflash each time you wanted to go a banking site but that would be ridiculous. Ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blaboy51:
I've never heard of anything bad like the that happing from rooting your phone or any apps that will take your personal data and when you visit bank web sites you connect to a encrypted network so i dont think anything would be able to retrieve your data

That didn't take long.
[HTC Aria General] damn pixie:
Ha, almost $500. Amazing how close it is in price (without contract) to a gently used Nexus One. Thank you for pointing this out.

I'm getting rid of my T-Mobile N1 because it sucks on AT&T (which I'm also stuck on due to insistent family members). I had bought the T-mobile version before any tech blog hinted that an AT&T version was coming out.

So anyway, Best Buy is offering this phone for $130 w/contract, with no silly $100 mail-in rebate for "AT&T cash" or whatever the hell it is. Yay!
[HTC Aria General] johng75:
take a look at the aria specs 1st, you may want to trade your tmo N1 for an ATT N1.... :2cents:
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Unsubsidized it's overpriced, for sure. There is only $30.00 between that and a new N1.
[HTC Aria General] damn pixie:
I did research the specs, thanks... according to the results, its speed is comparable to the N1 despite the lower processing power (http://www.mobileunderground.info/showthread.php?t=14408). And it's been difficult to find someone who'd trade in this area... so I'll just use the extra $ to pay for textbooks. :) But thanks for your thoughts.

Attn1: It's funny how they overprice it (unsubsidized) and then throw a lot of $10 AT&T services in there that they hope you'll buy. Hopefully we can delete these when someone develops root or a rom for this.... :)
[HTC Aria General] modest_mandroid:
I heard this phone will be available at costco for $99 (upgrade price) or 49.99 if you're a new customer.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
AT&T's no commitment pricing is $379.00. That makes that $499.00 EBay price a huge ripoff.
[HTC Aria General] struff:
It's $499 at my Best Buy. And I hate that they only have dummies so I couldn't even play with it.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Looks like AT&T no commitment price is the best no contract price so far.

Well, on Ebay you can sell the N1 and pretty much acquire an AT&T version for almost the same money.

I don't think that AT&T's $379.00 no contract pricing is out of whack for an Aria, really when compared to phones like the HTC Magic and the HTC Hero (GSM) which both cost more.

I know what you mean about those $10.00 services though. That you can't remove that software without root access is cheesy at best, but it's not the end of the world, either.
[HTC Aria General] waltah!:
The only extra cost services are AT&T Nav and AT&T Music. AT&T Maps is free (albeit unnecessary). Family Map is preloaded, but these things are easy enough to ignore until it's rooted. It's not like they're the only carrier to load their programs on. I doubt that everyone on Sprint is way into Nascar, but it's usually there.

It's a great little phone that's more powerful than the specs would let on. It's smooth and fast. Mine was only $92 with my upgrade and fan discount so I couldn't resist. I don't want another iPhone so this is the best alternative at the moment.

btw, they didn't block Google Maps Nav like I thought they might and it works great.
[HTC Aria General] damn pixie:
I agree with you there. I got mine yesterday and it seems to handle 2.1 better than the N1 did! Of course, there are no live backgrounds... but I can have 7 apps running and it's still smooth, unlike the N1 which could handle only 3 or 4 apps before it lagged (on mine anyway... and using "end app" management programs at the same time... before I had upped it to 2.2).

[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
I'm currently in China and I'm having a bit of a problem with WiFi hotspots and was wondering if anyone can help.

Some of the hot spots names are in Chinese characters... which this phone can't display. So instead of giving me junk data, but still letting me choose the spot like my computer, it doesn't even try and show the network.

Anyone have any thoughts on a way to get around it?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] la_resistance28:
Hey nsvrana,

So you're saying that the Mytouch Slide doesn't display Chinese characters at all? Wow. Can you input or write Chinese characters?

I've seen Chinese input on the Nexus One and on the HTC Desire

So I assumed it was easily available across all Android handsets. I just ordered the MTS, and I will definitely need to write Chinese regularly. If this phone isn't capable of that, I may have to cancel my order. Other than that, it seemed like the perfect phone for what I needed... :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Depends on where you got your Slide. During my time with Nokia, phones of the same model, but going to different regions around the world, will get different regional software. Here in the USA, only English and Spanish were loaded. You would have to get a regional set of software installed.

Being in China, I imagine there are many specialized shops that are able to do this, provided the Slide is available in China... If you are a T-Mobile customer traveling in China, I'd start by calling them, they may be able to send you an OTA update for the regional languages.

Edit: Also, try searching the Market for language packs. I have no idea if this is even possible, but worth a shot. You could also try manually adding a hotspot.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] la_resistance28:
Yeah, I had that same experience with Nokia phones as well. They're very stingy with their language packs, even though it isn't hard at all to install them they don't make them readily available through official channels. But Nokia phones are extremely popular throughout Asia, so it's not too hard to find shops (even here in the US) that can install language packs. Unfortunately, I'm new to Android, and Android is also pretty new to Asia and China, so I'm not sure how easy it is to install language packs.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
I can write in characters thanks to the Google keyboard, and I am able to receive text messages with Chinese characters in them, but whenever a wifi hotspot has characters in its name, the phone refuses to show the hotspot. This is made even more annoying by its inability to show ad-hoc networks. I don't want to have to carry a router everywhere I go :P
[myTouch 3G Slide General] la_resistance28:
*whew*

That's a relief to hear that the Slide can input Chinese characters, I mainly need it for texting and emails. All you had to do was just install the Google pinyin input from the Market? My Slide is coming in a few days, and I'm trying to do as my research to make the transition from my Nokia as smooth as possible, haha.

So the Wifi hotspot name display is the only time the characters don't come through? Maybe you can try contacting HTC directly about this. Since they're based in Taiwan, so many people use their phones in Asia, I'm sure this wouldn't be the first time they've had this problem.
[neoTouch S200 General] doraemon_aa:
I have serious problem for the CPU usage after some software install and the task manager always showing CPU utilization is 100% in Idle mode. Even uninstall the software but the problem is still exists. But i don't think this is software problem and may be some setup in the registry had been changed.

When i click on the task manage, the "taskmgr.exe" always consume a lot of CPU resources. The only way to resolve is hard reset the phone.

Another problem is the backlight saving mode, after 1 min. the screen will dim down and never can light up again. So i think it's some kind problem in energy saving mode.

:confused:

Please let me konw if some kind of registry setting can be change to resolve the problem.

Thanks
[neoTouch S200 General] Wolkenkratzer:
There's a many reports about backlight idle problem, I have it too (backlight never can light up from "off" to "on", or from "dim" to "on"). Possible solution in some cases is to turn off any backlight auto adjust functions (maybe a new solution(s) is founded).

For memory & cpu usage problem, I guess is most likely to perform a hard reset instead of searching (cope whole) in registry of FW.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Well you need to use a goldcard to get an engineering bootloader on your phone.

But if your phone won't read the sdcard I suppose you're screwed. Try to make the goldcard again, if that fails try a different sdcard and make a goldcard of that one. You will just need to pull the battery out of the phone, hold the back button, put the battery back in the phone while holding the back button. From there I think it should start reading the goldcard (hit the back button again if not) and it should eventually ask you if you want to start the update. Hit the trackball to start. Of course all of this is assuming that you have a working goldcard. Afterwards you can just follow the rest of the instructions. You can also use the link in my signature for reference. Good luck.

Even Exchange took about 10 attempts.

Am starting to get concerned that some versions of this phone really aren't up to scratch - poor ROM or whatever ... And what with the busted speaker I'm wondering if this is just going to take up too much of my time to get sorted.

Bit of a bleat, but I'm just pi55ed off having chosen this phone after a helluva lot of research.

when you get issues trying to authenticate are you using wifi, hsdpa, 3G, EDGE, GPRS or soemthing else? It could just be bad signal, packet loss or some kind of issues that is out of your control.

You can probably still return it without the manual. I'm betting there are more lying around where you bought it. Heck they have them from the demo models at Sprint stores.

It will definitely pick up some dirt, but wiping it down with a damp rag once in awhile will take care of it no problem (I'm not a fan of the white personally)

my black evo has some smudges on the back that would be very very noticable if it was white :P

Either way, it won't be half as hard as keeping an iphone smudge/dirt free.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
If you're going to end up getting a case I don't see the point. The only good thing would be that if HTC fixes that screen issue you'll get one of the fixed models. I haven't had issues with mines and I use it a lot. Good luck though I don't think they'll care and besides you can say you didn't get a manual or better yet you can say that the representative never gave you the manual when he bagged your items. You won't make it to heaven but at least you'll get the white EVO.

honestly, i really like white too, but they're right, it WILL get dirty. keeping clean sounds like a good idea for a week but we all get a lil lazy lol. i bought a $20 hard shield that fits around the back, its felt lined, plastic molding with white leather laid nicely over the back. bought it at the sprint store i work at.

!!!!!THIS ROM IS FOR GSM DEVICES ONLY!!!!!

DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU OWN A CDMA DEVICE (THAT MEANS YOU SPRINT/VERIZON USERS)​

Since we all know that AT&T will never put out a Sense 2.5 ROM I decided to create one. This ROM is based off of the 2.07 EUR shipped ROM and has been modified to work properly on the AT&T network. This ROM has been built for stability and speed. Several AT&T applications have been added from the stock AT&T ROM. The main goal of this ROM is to give AT&T users a chance to run a native Sense 2.5 ROM without losing any AT&T functionality.

Currently I have not been successful getting the AT&T Dialer to work with Sense 2.5 reliably. Because of this, there is no Video Share nor PTT functionality. If users really want PTT functionality, I will look into this.

This ROM has the AT&T keypad.dll and multiple rilphones:

* HTC radio 4.49.25.91 (this is the default)

* ATT stock radio 4.48.25.20

* Switching rilphone is controlled in Start->Tools->Radio Manager

* Soft Reset necessary after swapping rilphone

Connection Setup must run to setup the AT&T data connections. This will leave you in a state of the AT&T Proxies enabled. This can easily be disabled in Tools->Proxy Manager

A big thanks to Da_G, joshkoss, aruppenthal, twopumpchump, Ervius, chadster214 and anyone else I forgot to mention. Without them this ROM would not be possible.

Edit: [DISCONTINUED] I have decided to release a 6.5.X version of this ROM. All GUI glitches that are fixable have been fixed. Please note that this is beta code, and I am releasing this build "as is". There are going to be bugs that I can not do anything about, so please do not clutter the thread with 6.5.X problems. This is simply a ROM that gives threaded email support and the latest OS from Microsoft. If you do not want to deal with potential bugs then stick with the 21XXX build.

ROM INFO:

CE OS 5.2.21916_210

Page Pool set to 20MB

Added custom icons (Thanks to DINIK, drik and myself)
