[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
The core of this phone, the 1GHz snapdragon - has already been outclassed by the Galaxy S and Droid X/2. 30FPS cap and other issues aren't doing it any favors

It was a glorified dumbphone. Name me a few awesome touchscreen phones that launched around that time from LG, or some of the lesser known companies like UTStarcom. They all sucked in some way. HTC's Touch Pro 1/Diamond was a disaster, that phone was riddled with so many problems. Apple's iPhone 2G has a faulty digitizer and the iPhone 3G and 3GS has crappy backing that is prone to eventually cracking.

Is that supposed to be reassuring? Poor glue, or gluing is not something to be taken lightly especially since we don't know if the glue is crappy or if there was a misapplication of it somewhere.. either way it leads back to poor QC. What else was fudged on the phone? Take 6 months to find out. I'm not saying the Samsung Galaxy S will be perfect, but lets not forget that HTC is far from perfect too.

"Cheap plastic" can be subjective. Apparently the plastic found in the Audi A4/A5 is "cheap". If you want cheap plastic pick up a 1 year old G1 and listen to it creak.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I didn't mean the screen issue is affecting the ENTIRE production line. It could have just been a few early batches, judging by the number of people who haven't experienced grounding or separation issues yet.
[EVO 4G General] parousia15:
In 2010 alone we've had:

Nexus 1

HD2

Droid Incredile

EVO 4G

Iphone4

Galaxy S (or pro)

Droid X

...God knows what Christmas time will look like.

Most (if not all) these phones have 1ghz processors, over 500mb RAM, capacity trouch, 5mp (or above) camera, SD card, android (minus Iphone and HD2, of course).

As each new smartphone hits the market (with more or less the same specs) our current phones just won't seem as good anymore. I think we're being screwed with by our corporate masters;)
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
I agree with a lot of what you wrote and the quote above is probably the reason why so many people are getting so worked up over negative comments about the Evo build quality. Thank you for your HONEST post.

I too started looking at my Evo and felt some of the same. But this is my first Android device and I was and still am super impressed by Android compared to WinMo 6.5.3 flashed to my HD2 which I was pretty happy with. I still love the Evo but the issues with it and the better screens and size of the Galaxy and iPhone, have me feeling the need to at least try them out and why not since they are almost here. I may end up coming back to the Evo; you know the whole you don't realize what you have until it's gone........
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
For whatever reason, the iPhone only has 256MB of RAM and a lot of people (including tech blogs) keep forgetting that the US T-Mobile HD2 has 576MB of RAM. But 512MB does seem to be the new standard.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
My thoughts too. I don't want to love and spend many hours tweaking a phone and then 3 months later the screen decides it wants a new zip code again.
[EVO 4G General] bob13bob:
why buyer's remorse? your'e still within 30 days, just return your phone. i would go iphone 4. initial cost between phone inconsequential. Whether att worst service in the area warrants the superior iphone4 is the question.
[EVO 4G General] t.o.m.:
It just looks cheap to me. I like the EVOs edge to edge screen and nothing else. I'd have to use one [and it WOW me] to make the determination to switch.
[Android Software Development] chugger93:
I've scoured the market for hours and can't find crap. I've tried "Delete old messages" and "SMS Cleaner Free"

I want a way where I can select x amount of SMS messages from a given contact and delete them. For example...I could choose a contact, and delete all SMS messages from 2 months and older.

These apps I listed above ALMOST do it, but not quite. You can delete entire threads from a specific contact, however you can't choose a contact and delete certain SMS messages associated with that contact.

So for example if I had 450 sms's from my wife, and I wanted to cleanup just the past 2 months of ONLY hers and no other persons.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosuda14:
So i waited for Verizon to do and OTA update for my Droid Eris beause i didn't want to take the chance of rooting it. However i'm tired of the little lag i get with this phone and i want to overclock it, too bad i need to root it. So i have a few questions.

1. What roms will work my Droid Eris. (I know they're everywhere but some people say they don't work, bugged, etc. Which one is the most dependent)

2. Is there a video guide anywhere that can show me how to root. (Again i know there's guides but i prefer a visual guide if I'm gonna take the risk of bricking my phone)

3. If anyone has overclocked their Droid Eris what is a safe GHZ and what ap works the best with this?

4. I've been reading that i will most likely have to downgrade my Droid Eris to 1.5 stock from 2.1 OTA update. Is there a way to do such a thing. There is a guide but it says something like it doesn't work anymore, unless im reading it wrong.

5. Just a question i've been wondering since recently, When could i be expecting a Froyo Rom if at all.

Yes, i know these are noob questions but i just recently got a Droid Eris and i want to take full advantage of this device. Thank you for your time reading this and Thank you again if you respond nicely and don't call me a noob.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudedice:
1. Any of the ROMs. Choosing one is a matter of personal preference. The two I've been using lately are EvilEris 3.0 and CyanogenELB 2.5 (ErisLightningBolt). EvilEris is a Sense rom and looks a lot like the standard HTC OS you're used to. CyanogenELB is based off the standard android sources. CyanogenELB takes a little extra work to get it really workable (adding the google apps and installing the MMS fix with for 2.5) but it's pretty darn good.

2.Video: youtube.com/watch?v=_brg2NbBmx8 Can't post links but you can copy and paste. Any guide for 1.5 will work with 2.1 OTA.

3. Overclocking is dependent on your phone. Numerous reports say staying at or below 768MHz is safe for all phones. Just about everyone uses SetCPU which you can find in the Market for pay or on this forum for free.

4. You do NOT have to downgrade to root. Use the same 1.5 procedure to root a 2.1 OTA phone.

5. Read the KaosFroyo thread. It's a work in progress and loads, but doesn't function as a phone. He's busy with work, so kaos will work on it when time allows.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosuda14:
Thank you so much, Just helped me out alot. I really hope this goes well and i don't have that lag anymore(Extremely annoying). Thank you, seriously
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosuda14:
So i have EvilEris on my phone now, works great and everything however i want to try the CyanogenELB 2.5 rom but I'm not sure what i have to download from the site...pretty noobish i guess. The thing im trying to say is a the download site he gives theres about 7 files and im not exactly sure what to download. I don't wanna flash the wrong thing and brick my phone. If you could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenzomonk:
dl CyanogenELB2.5.zip, CyanogenELB-GoogleApps-v2.zip, CyanogenELB-MMS-fix.zip, 5MPcamera.zip, and ClearVM.zip.

flash CyanogenELB2.5.zip and then flash CyanogenELB-GoogleApps-v2.zip (do NOT reboot in between those 2 flashes).

then, reboot phone... after you setup (google account, etc), shutdown and then flash the CyanogenELB-MMS-fix.zip, the 5MPcamera.zip, and ClearVM.zip (no need to reboot in between those either). then restart again.

should be good to go from there :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
MMS doesn't work with the installed SMS app; the dev's notes say "must use Handcent".

Also, I can't get the IME_mod keyboard to do anything but FC :( ... do you have the same result?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosuda14:
Thanks Tenzo it works and everything but i think im gonna go back to EvilEris since i get a lag every now and then for some reason and sometimes it just reboots on itself. Thanks for the help though
[Legend Android Development] StripLV:
I have rooted my Legend. No Custom ROMS. Just rooted with Modacos method.

Now i have tried from another phone to connect to the Legend with the App "Bluetooth file transfer".

The app says me "you are using "Object Push profile (OBEX OPP) because remote device doesn´t support File transfer profile (OBEX FTP)"

BEFORE i have rooted my Legend this worked without problems.

Is this a bug in the ROOT?

PLEASE HELP: This sucks.....
[Legend Android Development] StripLV:
FORGET IT! I did not know that there is another setting in the Legend under Bluetooth-advanced- FTP Server!

I just enabled it and it works!

no sorry its not possible
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeRed071:
Just powered up my N1 for the first time.. And well, have a few questions..

I came from a rooted G1 and was use to multi touch. So, uh... where is it on the N1?

How do I go about enabling multi touch support on the N1?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
ummm the nexus comes with multi touch out of the box. perhaps you should open up the web browser, or maps, and actually try it? unless you bought an old nexus where the OS has not been updated to the latest, you should update it first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
There are a TON of threads you will want to read first.

Determine if you want to root, if you do, which ROM do you want?

Do you want for the OTA 2.2 update, or get a custom 2.2 ROM?

Is multitouch the only feature you are concerned with?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] verge:
I use my phone constantly and find even the AT&T stock ROM is not stable. I reboot nearly every day which in itself wouldn't be a problem if I could just reboot in the morning and forget it. However, randomly the ROM gets very very slow and I have to reboot and nearly always just when I need it. I don't need a lot of flash or extras though a little speed boost would be nice. I can install the few extra applications that I need. What I really need is a good, stable ROM.

Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
There are lots of good ROMs here. But everyone uses their phone differently. Try one out and see how it goes for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ccbeam:
Mod seem to close these questions very quickly.

But I like to say that I have tried them all and seem to always revert back to Josh's 1.7 (with Sense 2.1) which can be found here....

I appreciate your input steviewevie but I am doing something not everyone here does ... actually looking for some opinions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BeEazy10:
Josh 1.7 Or Jackos OldSchool
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:
I've tried pretty much every GSM ROM out there for my TP2. The most stable with the most available RAM and fastest speed goes out to Jackos Old School 1.1 ROM without a doubt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Prodeje79:
I think there should be a new monthly thread poll open for the 1st week of every month with this exact question.

I can understand how the veterans get sick of this and clutter up things.

On the other hand, I can appreciate having the information available. It is frustrating to search and only find locked threads.

Please mods, take me up on this idea, or at least some version of it.

I wish I had time to flash 10 different ROMs to see which is most stable and fits my needs. Let's leave that up to the people that have time, and allow them to summarize their findings via a regular poll.

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] toadlife:
I find my ROM to be quite stable.

This is the only ROM that i have flashed that never crashes or freezes EVER. i have been using bug free windows mobile for almost a year now (:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] incredulous:
Personally, I find EnergyROM to be my favourite. I know you don't want loads of extras but EnergyROM is very very smooth and looks very nice and then you have those extras to play around with when you get bored!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] freebygsy:
I have been using Energy with Cookie HomeTab 28th May 2010 verison, and works very well.

Very fast rom, even loads and runs Copilot8 without issues, which is more than the HTC 6.5 rom did.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kfreels:
I agree. Mods, why not put up a mini site with a list of ROMs available - such as a "marketplace" and then let users rank and comment with feedback. I've spent a week searching through all of this trying to figure out which way to go. I can't just flash a ROM, get it all customized, then 2 weeks later do it again. I actually have to use the phone to work. At the very least this would allow people to rule out certain ROMs based on their needs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Ranking a ROM is so objective... Some users expect features, others speed and all the all business users a reliable ROM is a must. Maybe there should be a "stars-voting" system that allows the user to vote for speed, stability, futures, eye-candy etc.?

Anyway I think that a pinned thread with a ROM index would be enough. Just a basic info + developers comment.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
I'm not sure that would help, each entry would be the same:

Content: "list of contents"

Comment: "Best ROM out there - ever"

The contents would change, but the comments wouldn't!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Yeah, because people are too cocksure. I would never call my rom "better" or even "the best". I thought about the chief description as a short note what are goals for each rom.

Ach, and one screenshot would be nice too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
My comment was tongue-in-cheek, but honestly, wouldn't you want the Chef of your ROM to be working on having the absolute best ROM out there? Otherwise he/she would not have very much motivation. Think about it:

"Yup, my ROM is OK, but not the best"

Not a ROM I would try...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
So make sure you never try my roms :cool:

I think that a rom is a personal combination of programs/skins that fit the chief. But that's just my thought :D

I saw a guy that said something like that: "Asking on xda what's the best rom is like going to a bar and asking with beer is the best". Different persons, different ROM experiences :) All about taste.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
Myself, I always look for the ROM that "Taste's great, less filling".

Stability & usability is clearly a individual thing & very relative...it will all depend on ur usage.. so suggest try dem out & find out da best for urself, personally I use EnergyROM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] eudaemonic:
If the first post for for each individual ROM thread contained a standard format description, it would virtually eliminate threads like these. Mods would need to generate the format, and enforce its usage.

Even though I suggest this, I wouldn't dare do anything to stifle a chef by putting involuntary work on their plates. Threads like these are better than having less ROMs to choose from, IMHO.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
I would appreciate a layout. Isn't it less work managing the thread (for the chief and users too)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] erwinpiero:
Hi, this is nice thread, by i had a chance trying Joshkos v1.7 ROM, and really it's quite stable, no issue at all.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] panthersdzynes:
I have the ATT Tilt 2 and Ive found that the Energy ROMS have all a tech freak would want, yet sometimes they arent as stable. Not sayin its not good, just sayin with a lil tweaking its an awesome ROM, usually what I use. ... Deep Shining- I did stick with for quite some time. VERY stable, quite fast, yet was kinda bare and plain... X ROM was quite cool as well, Great graphics, one of a kind stuff. Worth checkin out... I do wish, though its a lil off topic, that the Chrome ROMs would move to the Tilt 2 forums. I loved those!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] freddi3k:
The best ROM ever (stable and beautiful) is Leo Cell Pro 9.1!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:
If you play with your phone a lot and need total stability, speed and lots of RAM, no other ROM touches Jacko's Oldschool 1.2 ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Thresher:
I think when any of us reply to a thread like this I assume that (you know what you are doing when flashing, e.g., flashing stock rom or using Task29 properly. We also assume you are doing a modest amount of testing before you begin loading programs and custom settings)

I notice you had a lot of replies concerning "the best ROM" but you clearly asked for the most stable with fewest reboots. I can whole heartily understand why you are asking this as I too can't get a perfect running phone with even the stock rom. As other's have said, you have to try them to know...while others have said, why can't we rank them?

To answer some random question about, "Wouldn't a Chef want his ROM to be the best?" Well many ROMS are not being used by that chef for day to day use. They depend on people/testers so some issue may stay unresolved if not deemed important enough or is outside the deployment schedule of the cook.

Onto the topic:

The stock ROM works well enough but it is lame! (even with no additional programs added) I get lock ups and landscape vs. non-landscape mode hangups (keyboard not showing up properly or screen is frozen half way between one mode and the other) I too have to reset at least once maybe twice a day. Most often the phone needs a reset right at the moment that I need to switch to contacts and add a new one while sitting in front of the person! :p

I was in love with NRG roms but also found a few tiny issues that made it essentially just as problematic as the stock rom.

I just tried CEL EVO and have had similar issues to NRG.

For the sake of this thread, anyone interested in trying to create a review system of the ROMS, let me know. I have a few ideas (yes they allow and adjust for rom/chef creativity and various user needs) but would need some help. Maybe we can create a metrics that can be used and applied for all ROMS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Thresher:
I debate! ;)

Stability is not an individual thing. Stability is an easily trackable issue. IMO

Usability is partially an individual/relative thing, some users may not use certain parts of roms, those parts may be unstable thus others don't run into the issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] porkenhimer:
Try the FARIA rom. The best lookin most stable bug free rom I've used. ENERGY roms cannot compete with the FARIA roms. Every ENERGY rom has been over filled with useless programs and freeze alot plus battery drain issues. If u are lookin for a great rom I absolutly suggest that FARIA roms should be a must have for TP2.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Truenash:
Android-x86 is a project to get android up and running on x86 architecture. It is currently ran by just two people, and 1.6 is more or less completely functional on Eeepc and Dell Mini's.

However, progress has slowed, and the developers are beginning to lose interest due to the current community following. A large amount of the followers of the project demand things, and give little back, often getting angry if they are not instantly provided what they want. This is a scourge of most opensource or hack projects, but especially so here, as the project has had little interest from other devs, leaving them on their own.

Whilst I do not have the ability to give a whole lot of help myself (yet), I desperately think this project should succeed, and am asking any able developers with free time who are up for seeing Android up on a new platform to give it a go.

The google discussion group is here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-x86

The homepage is here: http://www.android-x86.org/

hello,

has anybody tried taking off the plastic housing/bezel? Im trying to get a better look at the lcd panel/digitizer...

if you have successfully taken it apart, please let me know how you did it...thanks in advance.

it looks like its probably just held on by internal plastic clips that I can pop off but not sure.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
I've run a guitar pick (medium-light) down the right edge of the Slide and the bezel opened up. I wasn't brave enough to take it any further. As you can probably tell the digitizer and LCD come up with the bezel. Not knowing where the ribbon/cable is located kept me from proceeding any further. In theory one should be able to free all the "teeth" around the whole of the bezel and deduce the location of the ribbon/cable. A schematic would be preferable.
