Sebrina instead of trolling in the EVO forums why don't you head over to the galaxy s forums and see if you can help fix the whole memory issue the galaxy s has where it wont use all the memory and its laggy etc etc..since you know the source is released and Samsung is so open and awesome.

They could probably use your help.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
is it hot in here or its just me, lol
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I believe that the big advantage the iphone 4 cam had over the evo was the low-light picture quality which can be attributed to larger pixels to capture more light, IIRC.

Also call it the inner conspiracy theorist in me, but does anyone else find it suspicious that HTC releases source on the exact day that launch day evo customers had their 30-day trial expire?
[EVO 4G General] jayvelliott:
Thats awsome right after i return my EVO 4G on july 4th before my contact locks in because of the horrible camera and display lag issue they release the kernal and you guys plan to fix it FML
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I think legally they were required to after 30 days so they just waited till the last moment.
[EVO 4G General] anthonylokrn:
Suspicious? Yes. Understandable? Yes.

If they had released source earlier, a lot of people, especially noobs, would be dicking around with their phones more. A lot more phones would get messed up (noobs would be too frustrated to troubleshoot the problems) and Sprint/HTC would get a truckload of exchange requests.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
hahaha yeah I guess that's understandable. After the initial "oh ****" of my first bootloop nothing scares me anymore. That seems like forever ago.
[EVO 4G General] MaverickSITG:
So is it ok then to apply any updates that Sprint/HTC throws at us?
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
no that would not be wise.

that has nothing to do with kernel source.
[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
I don't know why people want to bash the camera on this phone.

I have a Nikon 10.1 MP Point and Shoot camera, and the EVO blows it away, at least for speed and its daytime picture quality is about equal. While my GF was taking pictures of the BACK OF THE PARADE FLOATS, I was getting 5 or 6 well focused pictures of each.

True at night the picture is not as good, but nor is it on any standard point and shoot. The LED Flash is just not strong enough to take pictures at a distance, and pictures taken up close are washed out by the flash. If anything, its the weak flash that is to blame, not the camera. That being said, how many phones out there actually have a flash for their camera?......exactly. The camera has actually been one of the things on this camera I was most impressed with, but I guess since I don't own a DSLR, I must not know any better.

One of the things I was most skeptical about was the Battery, but ever since Putting the FRESH Rom on my phone, the battery life has been incredible. The only downside is that it takes longer to charge now. I wish people would quit trying to bash this phone. When compared with a friends iphone 4, even he admits the EVO outshines his phone on most things.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
Well I guess this will be your first and last post then right?;) Peace
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
You must be new here. What did you think would happen? With or without the kernel the amazing developers here make. ****. happen. period. ..

These are mini computers with impressive power and are relatively 'open' for the poking. With the downright amazing community that has developed around this phone in such a short amount of time, with all of the heavy hitters that stepped up to Evo...what did you think would happen?

I'm insulted by HTC and will never purchase another of their phones again. Ever. Not even used. I was intent on returning my phone after the first couple days, but after seeing the community that has amassed and the talent that has come to the party there is no way in hell I would bring this phone back now.

Your loss. Now you'll know better next time.

[HD2 General] kashinoda:
After pondering which phone to get for months, and whilst everything pointed to getting the Desire... I just couldn't resist!! I'm a slave to WinMo after my HTC Diamond :(:D

So any way, it arrives, I have a silent orgasm, open it up...

What are the next 5 essential things I should do?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
1.) Kiss it

2.) Hug it

3.) Stroke it

4.) Love it

5.) Wipe the mess from the first 4 off of it ....

But seriously ...

1.) I would start looking at what custom ROM you want on it, the Stock ones tend to SUCK.

2.) Make a full backup of your SD card.

3.) If your are gonna Flash a custom ROM HSPL it .

4.) Make a list and start Downloading your "Essential" Apps you want so you can have them ready, while the phone is getting its first full charge.

5.) See the first list .....

:D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] mdmhd2:
1) Sell it.

2) See point n.1

3) See point n.2

4) See point n.3

5) See point n.4

:D

I'm kidding....
[HD2 General] skilty:
install these...

1.Coreplayer/TCPMP

2.FPSEce

3.Cookies Home Tab&CHT Editor

4.Some wallpapers/JMWD icon changer/and some icons

5.Skyfire browser

There's loads more, but that's a good start..

I've not bothered with a custom rom yet, as i've not had any trouble with the stock rom, but there's a load of custom roms and it looks like there's good progress being made with the Android port.

if you're in the uk I'd also recommend myplayer (iplayer and digital tv)
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
1. Find a decent Rom, or update to latest official release.

2. Cookies Home Tab

3. Install Opera Mobile 10

4. Get Resco Explorer

5. Get G-Alarm
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
Tip

Hi!

I would:

1. Try it for a week without tweaking it in any way. (then you have something to compare it to when you start tweaking and so on)

2. Meantime install Resco explorer, CorePlayer and apps you need.

3. Take a look at Co0kies Home Tab

4. Make sure to drain the battery a couple of times to get the best out of it.

5. Now you can start looking for a cooked ROM :)
[HD2 General] Maggot #7:
1. Install a screenprotector and don't carry it around without it before.

2. HSPL

3. NRG ROM

4. Install ur software

5. Love it. :)
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
would do the same

just add pocketplayer to the appslist, much better than the standard htc player to listen to music :P^^
[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Well I would suggest 5 steps to a beginner:

1. Backup your Outlook calender and contacts folders.

2. Sync these to the phone.

3. Read about what "cabs" are

4. 5 must have apps: a. Opera Mobile 10; b. copilot (navigation apps are like religion - I like this one); c. Resco explorer; d. Omarket (for freeware); e. AEButton+ (great for getting the volume keys to do extra things, like up/down)

5. Then explore XDA software forum and slowly get used to the device. Don't try to do too much at the start

The great thing about the windows mobile devices is you can change nearly everything; the bad thing about winmo is you can change nearly everything !
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Well, assuming that you're not a stranger in ROM-flashing, just flash a into a custom ROM as fast as you can, really! Sorry to differ, but stock ROMs are mediocre. You can try THIS one. :D

These guys are VERY wise, indeed. :)
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
I love that quote! Can I use it in my sig? I'll credit you :)

As for the OP, when I first got mine, I download a shed load of apps and tried all the tweaks going, basically completely changed everything. I then made a note of the apps and changes I wanted to keep/were stable and did a hard reset and reintalled the good ones, making sure I wouldn't have anything that would crash my phone later down the line.
[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Feel free to use the Quote - no credit needed
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
I used the first week to install all kinds of recommended apps, without worrying about maybe ****ing things up.

Then after I managed to **** things up, I knew what apps I liked and did a hard reset and set it up correctly with just those apps.

I highly recommend the LMT launcher, which allows to start apps with gestures.
[HD2 General] andyjm:
May I ask, what difference does it make when changing the rom from the original? What are the advantages?

Also can anyone help me with installing the ps eumlator and how to convert the games i have from my original ps cd's.
[HD2 General] kashinoda:
Some great replies and suggestions here guys thanks a lot!! :D

Chance is I'll have it running under a new ROM within an hour... Even if the stock is good enough, I'm just compelled to. :rolleyes:

Can anyone suggest a good screen protector??

Also

Best sentence ever. :D
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Well, I would suggest reading the ROMs thread, there are alot of advantages, some apply to more people than others ...

More or Less apps cooked into the ROM (hard resets give you more or less)

Customized

Some are more stable, and faster, some are faster and less stable some are slower but more stable ...

There is really too much about custom ROMs to sum up here, all I can say is , Read Read Read, and decide for yourself .....
[HD2 General] andyjm:
thanks for that info watcher, much appreciated. Would it be ok if i pm you i have another question.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
No problem .... PM away ....
[HD2 General] appelflap:
I would use it a for a couple of weeks without changing anything. Give yourself some time to get used to the phone "as it is". After that, when you "own" the phone, I would gradually modify/expand it with some software/roms/tweaks.

The idea behind this is that you have to have a sollid fundament to work from (imo). If you don't have this base experience, there's the risk that you keep searching for the right customization... forever

my 2 cents
[HD2 General] scrizz:
This!

[HD2 General] dan138zig:
too bad it's hard to configure. for the life of me i can't figure out how to set it up.

OMG, I can't believe the most important thing I forgot to tell you to do ....

"Call all the people you know that have Iphones, and BRAG, then completely OWN them!!""

5 Things u need to do

1. wait 2 weeks before u start flashing things :P read all the forum while it 8hours per day ;D

2. INSTALL HSPL!!!!! even u gonna use stock ROM

3. test Customs ROMS test apps decide which ROM u want the most and which apps u gonna use and like

4. backup stuff u need then do fresh ROM and Apps

5. call someone with it :D

4 Things u should NOT!!!!!! DO

1.not Install HSPL

2.install Radio that belong to TmoUS on Normal HD2

3.install Radio that belong to hd2 Normal on TmoUS

4.replace it with iphone :P
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
Must be my large fingers then, but it's not as accurate as iPhone or even my daughters HTC Tatto. I've strugled very much with this problem, else i don't have anything to complain about i just love the big screen and to put it next to an iPhone is a treat. :)
[HD2 General] kashinoda:
Well I was planning on hurling my HD2 through my fiends iphone screen. :rolleyes:

[HD2 General] johnwalk:
ive had mine two weeks now, but no stranger to winmo. ive usually got a list of things i do with a new phone, did install coreplayer but finding htc media player to be good. resco, no need these days everyone else is catching up, but still the best. make sure you install the latest updates and or rom from htc, read up on tweaks and other things and experement, before you put in a custom rom.

screen protector is a must ive seen the video with the keys and knife but not willing to chance it yet. and just love it as this is the best phone ive had since htc 7500
[HD2 General] wakers:
I've had my HD2 for 6 months now and i personally wouldn't say a screen protector is essential i don't have one and my screen is as good as new what i would do is put a custom rom on it makes so much difference and CHT and as long as your willing to do some reading and tweaking you'll love it :)
[HD2 General] Proz00:
nah :)

i just saying its good to hold the horses before doing something wrong

read the guides few times and don't rush to anywhere :)
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
Lots of good advice, but the single most critical thing to do is to protect your investment. Buy a good screen protector (I like the WriteShield by Pocket PC Techs) and also a case of some sort.

Then, as noted, get used to the phone for a week before flashing stuff. That way you have a basis for comparison and will appreciate the changes all the more.

While you're getting used to the phone, check out PocketGear or another site that sells WM software. More sophisticated than the 'apps' for that 'other' phone, more geared to professionals and less hokey nonsense.
[HD2 General] wineds:
Try installing the Swype keyboard. Spend 30 minutes using it and practising. It is simply awesome.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
I wanted to see if you guys have tried this. This is with your home IP address, it won't be quite exact with a cell phone.

I tried this tool, and I think it's great. It's just about 5 blocks off from my actual address on the map. I mean, I think 5 blocks off is pretty accurate. It's less than a mile.

Is it as accurate for you too?

thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I'm in Nampa, ID and it says Boise, ID, which is about 25 mile away.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Not so great in that case. I tested it also from a corporate ip, and it didn't work so well. Maybe it was a proxy what it traced.

Apparently, in your case it means the 2 cities are being served by the same cable or dsl company, and that they share the same range of ip addresses. Or a whole subnet from 000.xxx to 255.xxx.

Probably the result should indicate the possible locations, or a wider approximate region, instead of pinpointing an exact latitude and the longitude.

Well you at least got 25miles off, it's off for me by close to half the world. I'm in Florida, and it says Japan.

Hello , I would like to turn off my Mini`s proximity sensor and light sensor , but I couldn`t find out any setting even in the registry editor .

anybody could teach me ?

thank you
[HD Mini General] Baadshah555:
I don't know about the Proximity Sensor.. But you can Turn OFF Ambient Light sensor.. In Sence, go to Settings tab->Sound & Display.. Here in Bottom you will get Backlight setting, tap on it.. Then you will see the first Option "Automatically adjust Backlight".. Just uncheck it.. Your Light sensor will be disabled..

I don't know if there any other way..
[HD Mini General] eyprince:
This didn't work, It merely turns off the backlight adjuster for when you haven;t used your phone in x minutes.

I am currently looking through the registry on the HDMini to try and find the entry...

Has anyone managed to find the registry entry already?

I tried both of these, and after adding and turning on the options the phone went crazy and the screen kept activating and de-activating. I managed to turn off the options. But still, during a call the screen de-activates so I can't hang up.

I've gone back to checking the registry and have found a couple of entries which could be useful. I'm testing changing a few now. Will post the results...

This is an app, that disables light sensor during calls and also use g-sensor. I have also the problem with proximity sensor (can't hang up after dial), but this app helps me to hang up. After dialing your screen turn off but if you turn your phone to landscape position the screen will turn on again.

It is solution for me.
