Stock (1.32.651.6) with root. Deodex and odex available (06/10/2010)

What does deodex and odex mean?

This is the correct file I am looking for right?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3gh05t:
Hey Guys,

When the official Froyo update comes out soon for EVO 4G phones, will I have a problem since I have installed Fresh Evo on my phone? I haven't performed the "full" root NAND method. I just used unrevoked.

Thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
You may want to wait until Flipz freshens it up and provides an update that way (it usually doesn't take long after release)...if you want to run the official one, run the RUU and go from there to ensure you have no problems. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentlythp:
I personally havent used the unrevoked method, but I would assume that you would still need to unroot to get the official update. Someone correct me if I am wrong...

Plus we have amazing devs. My hero had 2.1 way before the official update! I guess it's all dependent on when they get the code though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3gh05t:
Alright, cool! Thanks for the info!

:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmomoman:
Some people will wait for one of the devs to cook up something in case the update breaks root when the official release comes out. No different from iPhone jailbreaks eventually they find away to defeat it.

Is there a way to add some notification tone for message?

coz i want to have my own tone on messages that i will receive..

is it possible?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean a custom notification for received messages? It should be configurable in the default messaging app, but I'm not completely sure since I use handcent SMS which allows you to customize the notification sounds and a bunch of other stuff.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmsweet21:
so i must use handcent messaging for me to have my custom tone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bione666:
You can create a new folder on your sd card -> DCIM -> media - > audio -> notifications and put your customs notifications in this folder.

You can do the same for your ringtones and alarms by creating new folder on your sd card -> DCIM -> media -> audio -> ringtones and alarms

You will be able to find them in your message app settings.

Hope it helps you

PS : sorry for my bad English :D
[EVO 4G General] bobjase:
Good news for all of you who were waiting for the triumphant return of the Evo to the shelves (whether to get your first one or trade back in your busted-screen):

I just spoke with Wirefly where my order has been on back-log for over a week and they said

"Good News, we have the HTC EVO 4G in stock"​

Cha-ching!
[EVO 4G General] robpet2:
damn.. aint that a bish.. i cancelled my order with them over a week ago when they couldnt give me a time frame on when i would be instock.. they were acting like it could be months..
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Yea. I just cancelled mine two days ago and picked one up from best buy. They had a bunch.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Well sprint.com needs to get some in so I can exchange 3 of them for new ones before the 30 days! Damn damn damn...
[EVO 4G General] dekayte:
too bad they're still most likely the poorly built EVOs that everyone has been complaining about.
[EVO 4G General] Akeldama:
I canceled my order with Wirefly about a week ago. I also had to cancel an order with Walmart; the website said they were in stock, but a day later sent me an email stating "back ordered" instead. On a whim, I checked Best Buy online, they had them, I ordered one, and it arrived two days later. I got it yesterday.

My Evo does not exhibit the display grounding issue or the light seepage issue. I also see no delamination issues, but it's only a couple days old so time will tell there. Perhaps the newer "fixed" Evo's are already in the pipeline and this is the first shipment?
[EVO 4G General] Schnazzy:
What hardware rev did you end up with?

will u please help me if you have any solution
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] pgonza02:
Not sure if this is even possible but was wondering if anyone knew if there is a way to change the icons in the Sense mail tab for the different accounts. I was thinking of maybe having the service logo or something like that.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
I don't think its possible. It would be quite difficult to configure if it was.
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
I've tried a hard reset, taking the battery out and still I have no sound from my any of my speakers. Profiles and sounds are set as normal and still no sound. Sounds works for like 2 minutes after I reboot my phone but then it goes dead. Any solutions?

EDIT: Notifications work so it's not a hardware issue, just no sound through Windows Media or other apps and no sound through my earpiece via calls, can't even turn on speakerphone for calls.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Flash your stock rom and see if that helps
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
I flashed Ricky's 6.1 and that seems to have taken care of the issue so far, granted it's been three days. That was the weirdest freakin' problem i've had with my HTC Excalibur and i've had it for 4 years.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Good to know that you solved your problem :)
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
Okay Problem didn't go away. Sound is muffled like something is covering the speaker. Nothing is covering it on the outside including my fingers. Could something on the inside of the hardware possibly be covering the speaker or a disconnected speaker wire be causing the muffled sound?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Sorry to hear thought you tweaked :( There is a dismantling guide in the sticky will be worth checking may also be an easy repair if just speaker replacement.
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
Where would one get a speaker replacement for an Excalibur? I've never seen a part store for cellular devices.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Ebay can be an option,
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
Dismantling + cleaning should work. Remove the speaker off the back cover and get the dust out of the gap between cover and speaker. The housing has no fabric cover at the housing inside and there is plenty of space for dirt to accumulate between speaker and inner side of the cover. The speaker itself if guarded with a fabric on top.

You could also carefully use a vacuum cleaner to suck the dirt off through the grid before go for dismantling...
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
"Sprint expects to launch Android 2.2 in the near future" (except Hero and Moment)

A bit misleading... Link goes to Sprint's BAW forum where the excitement quickly turned to anger about Sprint abandoning currently shipping phones and users stuck in contracts. Despite the headline, only the Evo will be getting the 2.2 upgrade from Sprint.

From Sprint link...
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
I thought that when 2.2 was announced at the big Google press event, HTC's CEO was quoted as saying that all currently shipping HTC phones would be getting the upgrade...? I'll see if I can dig up that quote.

Ah, nevermind. I found the quote and it was regarding 2.1.
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
I just saw the tweet, and I don't think it includes the hero, but I did hear something on that about them getting 2.2..
[Hero CDMA General] SiL3nTKiLL:
cool! good job for sprint!
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
No, you heard that all currently available Android phones would be getting the 2.1 update. That was when all us Hero owners were clamoring for the 2.0 upgrade.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Oh, and the good news is that we don't need HTC or Sprint to do this for us. We're fortunate enough to have a community of developers that are working hard to put out a Froyo update compatible with the Hero. Remember to tip them well, kiddos, because Sprint just left you behind. Oh, and tell your Sprint rep that this is why you rooted your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
They're melting down over at the official sprint forums. :D
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Drop a bomb that size, you better expect nuclear fallout. If darchstar, damageless and TrevE can get Froyo on the Hero, Sprint and HTC could as well. They just want people to keep upgrading. Good business sense; poor customer support.
[Hero CDMA General] obsanity:
All you need to do is have enough of publicity about this and they'll have to do something about it.

Imagine top tech headlines;

"Sprint drops support for currently shipping phones... refuses to update firmware", "Would you trust Sprint again...", "Angry Sprint Android owners demand a refund"

...and the last one "Sprint agrees to update older android phones’ software after many complaints from customers" :)
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Good luck with that. I'm not sure they care. It's business. Besides, like I said, just tell them these types of decisions are why *ahem* some dude you know *cough* rooted his phone and he knows some guys that are working on putting 2.2 on the Hero right now.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
Posts like this are a pet peeve of mine. Not to discredit the great work that the community dev's do, but community generated ROMs that are cobbled together from other devices are NOT the same as vendor-genuine ROMs from HTC/Sprint. While in MANY ways the community ROMs are far superior, they lack the hardware-specific code (kernel drivers, etc...) that only the OEM can provide. Consistently, the most stable and fully-functional community ROMs are those based off of hardware-accurate vendor ROMs (like Fresh, based off of the shipping RUU). The ROMs derived from other devices are far more likely to have caveats such as "fully-functional except for the camera, sensors, martini shaker, ..." (I don't know what part of the term "FULLY-functional" is unclear to some devs).

While it is inevitable that the community devs WILL create a 2.2 ROM, it will not be of the same caliber that would be possible with a genuine vendor ROM to use as a starting point.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
i guess you havent run. darchdroid heh

Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Darch Droid is fully functional now. Took some time to get things figured out but now that he knows how to get it working. It shouldn't be any issue on future releases...once we get kernel code.

Not to mention that, our drivers are there in these roms, just quirky.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Doth mine ears deceive me? Are you saying that just because an Android developer works for HTC and Sprint that he's better than the hobbyists that hang out here? I think you missed the whole point of open source.

And, yes, fully-functional may take some time, but it usually happens. Kernel and drivers always come out and are adjusted as needed. As gunnyman said, Darchdroid 2.7 is fully functional. My point is that they're doing what they're doing and doing it well. Sprint/HTC could do it, but they're choosing not to, forcing users to upgrade. Again, one of the benefits of open source.

So, why the pet peeve? I'm just curious. I'm not sure if you're serious or trolling. You're on these forums, so either you're into custom ROMs or you're some kind of troll. If you're into ROMs, why are you bashing devs, because whether you meant to or not, that's what you're doing with this post. You're basically saying, "Cool painting, Picasso, but you'll never be Monet." WTF?
[Hero CDMA General] SammyM00782:
I gotta keep this phone until next March so I'm kinda stuck unless I wanna shell out 500 for another phone with this one is 2.5 months old. Well, I don't want to and I can't afford to play this game. So, when we get a 2.2 for the Hero that works like it's supposed to I can hopefully stick with Flipz FreshROM and i'm donating at least 50 to that guy. Between him, Damage and all the other guys with the time and skill to do this they've earned 100x that.
[Hero CDMA General] f16pilot:
cmcraken has a point though, Darchdroid is only fully functional because it is based on the 2.1 RUU made specifically for the hero. Until that RUU hit the streets, every previous 2.1 ROM was handicapped in some form or other. If Sprint/HTC doesn't develop a 2.2 RUU specifically for the Hero, the best the devs will be able to do is get us as close as possible, but never spot on.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
I'm saying that the community developers will never have access to the resources that the vendor devs do. They will never have access to the low-level engineering data that the vendors keep behind locked doors, nor the source code for things like SenseUI. Reverse engineering can only get you so far.

I understand full well what the point of open-source is. the problem is that these phones as a whole are definitively NOT open-source. Only a small portion of the total package is open-source, and even a major portion of that (the Linux kernel source code) is a colossal PITA to get our hands on. Despite the open-source sales pitch on Android phones, they aren't very open-source in implementation.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
I see your point and concede to you on this. Well played, sir. I think, though, that given the status of what has come before, that we can expect great things from reverse engineering. Hopefully, with the things I've been reading about Google and Android specifically, that things will change with Froyo. I've heard rumblings about making Android one package, the things HTC wants to do another package and the things Sprint wants to do a third package, that way Android updates can continue and the other guys have to keep up if they want us using their stuff.

Longshot? Yes. The way it should be? Yes.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
Ditto. The vendor support (or lack thereof) and OS fragmentation is absolutely killing Android. 1.5 million iPhone 4's sold so far despite it being inferior to the Evo on all fronts. The reason? Apple. They fix bugs for their devices and provide added functionality via regular software updates. iOS 4 is provided as an upgrade to the iPhone 3G, released July 2008. Sprint can't even provide updates for a phone that's less than a year old. These Android vendors have got to get on the same page and start playing by Apple's rules if they want to compete with Apple.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
100% agree
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
Where did u get this info from?? darchdroid doesn't even use a single lib from the sprint RUU. Its straight up AOSP cyanogenmod built by myself
[Hero CDMA General] N1vek215:
Pow right on the kisser.

From what I've seen so far, these community devs churn out better software than any employee at sprint can. Because of these devs is why I'm sticking with my hero instead of throwing it into a river.
[Hero CDMA General] mud puppy:
Amen brother!
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
As a sprint retention employee, we don't care.
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Just ouch... (-.-)
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Not being a **** but people like him think the average employee cares that you rooted your phone. Dude we root phones on the call center floor... Its not illegal.
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Anddd that's pretty funny (:

Ouch is now revoked.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Well not on the actual floor, no electronics welcomed there but you get the idea
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Ahh yeah I understand. So what is the view your supposed to have on places like xda?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Most devs work at sprint (not hero devs).

No views, is an open source market. Root> void warranty, most people won't root because of that scare. I've told some customers ive rooted, its no secret.... My job is to keep you as a customer not tell you what to do with your phone, if anything its an advantage cause I can talk about things it can do even if the customer won't do it
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
That's cool.

I'm sure you know how to unroot then?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Yup

10chars
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Then all is good in the world (:

Now an attempt at returning to the topic point.

Any news on an official 2.2 for the HTC hero?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Not coming as far I know
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Shucks... well not much else to do but sit and wait for news to come around or for one of our amazazing devs to have something they think is stable enough for public release (: .... or I can try to learn something constructive and help the community :D

But what might that be?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Find the source and start playing
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Alrite so step one:

Learn to read and edit source?
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
Im gonna say bull**** on that one. Maybe you are one of the few exceptions but if that was the case and sprint didn't really care then why have some people phones been declined service, repair or replacement and been flagged in the system for being rooted then.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Because it voids warranty. Hes talking about calling not taking a phone for service and repair
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
I would think someone would unroot before trying to get the phone replaced. O_o
[Hero CDMA General] wiiguy5:
I didn't have to, the guy just gave me a refurb and I gave him my old phone. He never even turned it on because I said that I had my contacts backed up on Google already :)
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Smooth and sneaky >.
[EVO 4G Android Development] josue85:
Very nice, hopefully you just saved someone a lot of heartache :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Just added a section for un-rooting. Can someone please help me verify this is correct.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ucf.elk:
Thanks!

Awesome guide!

Thanks for the info in the Simple Root thread.

One question that was unanswered (and per your response I ask it here):

Are SMS/MMS info backed up using Nandriod or Titanuim??

I'm a little confused by which can do this.

Thanks again for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Very good question on SMS/MMS. I think I have noticed that when using Handcent SMS app for sending and receiving SMS/MMS messages they are somehow backedup. I think Handcent has a folder on the SD card.

Otherwise if you are using stock messaging app, I am not sure it TB backs that up or not. If you want to verify this for me and let me know your results I would be happy to update my guide.
[EVO 4G Android Development] epmacman:
Just wanted to say thanks for the breakdown, and with my experience Tb has backed up my sms when backing up "all system data and apps"

Thanks again OP
[EVO 4G Android Development] ucf.elk:
Great info! Thanks epmacman and thanks webs05 for the great guide!
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Were you using stock messaging app? Or a third party one from Marketplace?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Reanimatedshad0w:
Thanks for the information. About to start this whole process soon so this really helped Just a quick question though, do classes of the sd card matter? Have a class 2 card atm but about to buy a 16gig class 6 and figured I should do everything then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Yes, a higher class makes a big difference in speed. Make sure you wipe the new SD card from within the Evo before doing anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsnadell:
Dumb question (I'm new to Android):

When switching ROMs, both of which you have a backup for, do you have to wipe, flash the rom, then flash the nandroid backup?

Or would wiping and then flashing the backup work the same?

I have Fresh and Avalaunch's Froyo with all my apps both backed up. I realize it won't save much time, but I wouldn't have to keep both ROMs on my SD card if I could just use the backup to switch.

Thanks for the guide.
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
you should wipe. the backup will save everything you had on the respective rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] huzvi88:
Yes awesome guide thanks, just what I was looking for. Stupid question but when I do a "Backup Current ROM" in ROM Manager, does this also back up texts, apps, games etc?

Thanks again webs
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
To switch ROM by restoring nand backups all you should have to do is go into recovery and restore the one you want. If you wanted to be safe you could wipe first. As far as flashing that rom before nand backup no. There would be no point of that. The nand backup restores ALL, everything that was on that phone previously. It is a full backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Yes, it should backup everything. Upon restore your phone should look and act just as it was when you created that backup. The backup system in Rom Manager boots the phone to recovery and does a nand backup for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huzvi88:
Haha that was my next question. Thanks really appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Your welcome, and the same goes to everyone else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
I'm an idiot i think and just bricked my phone.

I used revoke website to root my phone I did not do a nand unlock. I then installed rom manager because I wanted to backup the current stock rom. I used the option to flash in something from rom manager and then back up. after that my phone restarted and all I see is a picture of a phone with and exclamation point. am I bricked? anything I can do? sorry I'm a noob.

-U
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Lol! You are fine. Fortunately HTC makes their phone tough to brick.

You are at that screen because you only did part 1 of Unrevoked's system. They have released part 2. Follow that and you should be good to go. Post questions on their threads. Good luck.
