LauncherPro all the way
[Droid Eris Android Development] cornbreadfarts:
adw. hidden dock is awesome
[Droid Eris Android Development] DeezNotes:
Launcher Pro no question. Very smooth, HIGHLY customizable... and dock notifications??? are you kidding me???? http://www.launcherpro.com/
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
Launcher Pro for me.

I like that I can backup and restore the settings now if I change from ROM to ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] reinert012:
LP dock notifications seal the deal for me. ADW is great though but started to get choppy on my phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
I prefer ADW, I like the side scrolling of the apps. To me it felt faster than LP.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
LP is the best =p it's just incredibly customizable and the dev is constantly making new releases. Looking at the changelog you can see there are new releases lately every three days or so and they're not small ones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpShit420:
I love them both! ADW also had the faeture to be able to save settings and desktops first. It also has setting to change what swiping down and up do, which is awesome. But the 3d Drawer in LP is incredible....If only they could combine to ADWPro.......Umm there offspring would rule
[Droid Eris Android Development] mortymouse:
Word......
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
ADW was the one for me until the last few updates to LPro.

Keys to Lpro for me:

Ability to hide the notifi bar and unhide by selecting the home button. (I know you can do this in ADW also with the swype)

Locking wallpaper on Lpro. I like that my widgets just slide over :D

Phone and sms counters in dock

Scrolling dock

I do kinda miss the ability to hide app names in the drawer using ADW though, that's slick.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
honestly both the prgrams work awesome its all about prefrence. they both have real good options and its just something you have to see and weigh out for yourself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fmadrigal:
It's LP for me all the way! just like they said before...the dev is always updating to the users needs
[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
Shouldnt be posted in the dev forum. I think theres already a topic in another Droid Eris sub forum.

Thanks

T.A.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vantagejuan:
ADW for me. They're pretty even, but I don't like the look of LauncherPro. I prefer a little color on my launcher. I also prefer how highly customizable ADW is. Plus, the scrolling dockbar is the jam.
[Droid Eris Android Development] korben dallas:
How did you get lwp working
[Droid Eris Android Development] lordkian:
Color? If you are referring about the dock, that's what i thought too at first. But you can actually change it in Launcher Pro too. And speaking of highly customizable, I can make my Launcher Pro look like ADW, if I want to. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
its freshhh rom, its one of the few roms that lwp actually sticks...
[Droid Eris Android Development] eldouche:
Seriously. The gmail/missed call/sms notification in the dock makes it a no-brainer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
i love how open AWD is and i was an avid user until yesterday, when i installed launcherPro over KaosFroyo-v19 and wow smooth as silk, the 3d effect actually works like its on a nexus(side by side comparison) im not saying use one or the other but with the notifications in the launcherBar, and the overall smoothness of the UI i have nothing bad to say about it

on the other hand AWD is slightly choppy in comparison but nice coming from a stock launcher none the less. you can mod AWD a bit more however so it is really a person prefference thing dl them both and give them both a shot =)

[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
ur welcome

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
lol i try to spread the gospel!

& again thankyou for the hard work and coming back from the **** of the threads...
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
launcher pro is just sexy, very sleak especially with the 3d drawer vs the awd slide lefft to right drawer option, like i said earlier its all prefrence, i havent taken to see whats different in spare parts amongst the two but if im mistaken i think its the same...
[EVO 4G General] Matstarr:
Will the Evo ever get the next gen Caller Id that comes in the Wildfire? How about the share app that is also in the Wildfire? I find it odd that they sent us an update and didn't include this.
[EVO 4G General] Matstarr:
any roms that included this?? any info at all would be helpful:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:
when I go on the browser and view a webpage that has a large picture file (well.. really really long picture..vertically) i can't seem to view it right..

if it's just a couple of scrolls down long then it's okay, but if it's longer than that, it seems to pixelate the pictures and i can kinda zoom out.. make it smaller and then look at it, but it's really really hard to read the texts as they are hardly visible after being pixelated..

any option/setting to fix this??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
Ok so I just got my phone fully rooted woah took awhile hit some speed bumps but thankfully trucked through it!

Ok here is my information I used toasts 2 part method

So is this all correct am I good to go start playing with custom ROMS or no?

Firm version

2.1 Update

Base Band

1.39.00.05.31

Kernal

2.6.29-a2443432

build number (dont think you need this do you?)

software

1.32.651.1

Also how do I get apps that are not from the market the apk files I googled it but didnt reveal much

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
well, to test that your nand is unlocked you can use terminal emulator or connect to your pc, use adb shell and use this command: remount rw

if that works your nand is unlocked and yes you should be good to go.

As for the apk files, which ones were you looking for?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
well bad news :( I opened the command bar on my pc typed in

adb shell

remount rw

it said error :( damnit what did I do wrong

Everything went like the IDIOT proof guide said lol

anyway apk files I dont know is there a place to browse them? Or whats good how do I find some?

sorry still learning trying to learn fast

thanks again!

so do i have to unroot and re root again??

or?

also if so how do I unroot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
sorry, when you are in adb shell type:

su

remount rw

As for the app's.... I am still a little confused what you are asking, but all the apps can be browsed on the phone from the market app. I dont think you can browse the market from your pc
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
I just heard there were different apks out there that are not in the market? I dunno I can search that later though.

ok so i pulled up adb

typed in

adb shell

su

(it copied su)

remount rw

remount rw

:remount not found

:(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
I thought it was

adb remount rw

Try that. If it works, you are ready to flash ROMs. You don't have to have NAND unlocked to flash ROMs, it prevents errors with certain ROMs though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
that would make sense! I was working from the terminal emulator on my phone :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
it said remount succeeded

what did I just do LOL

P.S. Thanks! :D

P.S. I was looking at a different ROM and it has a different base band does this matter for me to use it or not?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
you will just have to update your radio to match the baseband. There should be a link in the post to the corresponding radio or something.

Flashing a radio is just like flashing a rom, minus the wiping. So if you can get the rom to flash you should have no trouble upgrading the radio
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
Yeah I followed the link for the radio and it said it was the latest one clearly there is an update I did a search but cannot find any others ones.

Can someone point me to the right direction?

Also I followed Part 1 and 2 so my NAND should be unlocked/rooted right?

I really want to get rid of those dumb sprint things.

Thanks very much cant thank you enough for helping me!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
No problem.

What you did was remount the protected areas of the file system to be writeable. You can delete, write, or move system files and such in this mode, so if that worries you you can always just

adb remount ro

And there you go, it is read only again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
Woah thats awesome so how do I delete the sprint things I know there has to be a guide some where =P

Also if I delete the sprint things and then run a different rom will they come back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
almost all custom roms will remove these. Its only the stock rooted roms that leave them in :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
Thanks goodness!!!

Ok last question(s)

1) where can I get the latest up to date Radio?

2) What is a good custom ROM to start with I think I am running fresh right now.

Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! for your help both of you!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
If you flash a different ROM they usually come back.

A handy way to remove Sprint .apks is to use Titanium Backup or Root Explorer. If you want to use adb, just remount it as rw and do something like this

rm /system/app/Sprint_TV.apk

Sprint apps include:

Sprint_NASCAR.apk

Sprint_Navigation.apk

Sprint_NFL.apk

Sprint_TV.apk

Sprint_TVWidget.apk

Some ones you may need to keep are:

Sprint_VVM.apk <- Voicemail App

WifiRouter.apk <- Sprint's HotSpot Program (Replace it with Wifi Tether in the marketplace)

Just make sure you don't remove anything you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
1) Here is a link to the latest radios.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

They should all flash correctly.

2) There are so many great custom ROMs out. Baked Snack is nice, and it is themed. DamageControl has so many features it is mind-blowing. Fresh is a good ROM, too.

You can flash one a day until you find one you like. It is really up to the individual.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
Ok if I do not like the ROM can I flash back to

OK lets say I use Fresh I flash to DC (damage control) and dont like it so I flash back to fresh I can go into my files through the pc and delete the DC right?

Thanks flashing latest radio now and going to try DC

I feel dumb now what is winmax?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
wimax is for your 4g

yes, when you can switch between roms, although you always make sure you wipe! it is very important so you dont get weird errors or boot loops.

Have you heard of nandroid backup and restore? In the example you mentioned, if you were trying a new rom and you might want to go back to what you had previously, you could do a nandroid backup then flash the new rom, and if you didn't like it then you could do a nandroid restore instead of re-flashing the previous rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustHereTryingtoLearn:
yes very little I think I made 3 how do I delete them sense we are on that topic now LOL

Im kinda iffy on how to create on though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
They are stored on your sd card. Its super easy to use, when you are in your recovery just choose the option backup/restore (or something similar) and choose which you want to do, and that's all there is too it!

If you are sure you are not going to need the backups, just go the your sd card and there should be a folder called nandroid or the like, and you can delete the folder inside corresponding to your backup. -- Although for best practice you should keep one backup from an image you know worked, just in case you ever mess up you will have at least one restoration image.

if anyone knows the best settings to use for ultimate juice for the evo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shlurpee:
Hey guys, first time posting. Hope I got the right forum. I have a stock Sprint touch pro 2. It's brand new so I'm hesitant to do any flashing. Anyway, is there any cab out there that will increase the number of apps available on the home tab on the home screen. Right now it's a 3x3 grid. The stock icons are huge, I would rather have icons 1/2 the size and have twice as many apps.

Is there a simple program out there that will do this, leave the phone unaltered except the size and number of apps on the home screen? I'm fine with the clunky touch flo jazz, I just want more apps on my home screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lennyz1988:
The easy way is to install cookie home tab and then the cookie home tab editor. Use the search button to find it :)

About the flashing, just go ahead and flash. If you make sure you use a gsm rom on a gsm device. And a cdma rom on a cmda device then nothing can go wrong. Just read a lot about it :)

You can always revert to stock and undo hardspl.

ps sprint = cmda.

So does the EVO not have IR er something is that why we dont have any tv remote controls....i used to have this on my old old WM phone kinda bummed we dont have anything like it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Minjin:
The Evo does not have an IR emitter. Very few phones or laptops have these anymore, when at one time it was very common. It is going the way of the Dodo.
[EVO 4G General] bdf:
I am currently looking to get out of my TP1, this one has not been bad, but I have had it since they were released (no not the same one, had about 5 of them).

I have had WM phones since they came out, I forget the first one, but I have been back to Sprint since the PPC-6600, maybe before.

Will I hate or love Droid over what I am used to with WM6.5? I have always run all the hacks used custom ROMs etc.

The gallery's thoughts? Especially anyone with a long history with WM who moved to the EVO.

Thanks

i had so many winmo's devices they were great till i jumped in to my first android device:supersonic.u can do so much with this open source OS,its unbelieveable.i would def recommend android device,it gets better and better every OS update and all goodies from XDA.

get android

root it

[EVO 4G General] rmig825:
For the last 4 years, I have used nothing but WM, Loved it, The first couple of days with Android, I was like I am going back. Let me tell you something, After using android for a month now, I love it best OS i have ever used for a phone, runs smoother,, faster, smarter, less chance of getting errors. Will never go back. And on a personal note, I grew up using DOS, so having to "get back to basic's" with adb and ect. adds a little cheese on the cracker. Love it. If you go with Android,,, don't let the first couple days of newness scare you, I promise it will hook you. just my 2 cents
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
+1 on loving android. I come from every winmo device since the 6700 and let me tell you...the Evo will fix you burritos and wipe the aftermath off your butt when you're finished.

I switched from WinMo to the BB 9630 after getting frusterated with how clunky it was out of the box and to even get it usable, you had to spend hours upon hours finding and trying new things. Don't get me wrong, perusing the registry to find interesting stuff to edit was fun and will forever be nostalgic to me; however, Android takes all of the headache I experienced with WinMo and turns it into curious fun =).
[EVO 4G General] thisguyinoc:
I too was an avid WM user, from the very first WM smartphone SMT5600, and then 3 others ending with the HTC Diamond. I was reluctant to switch to Android, having the ease of customization with WM, but once I did there was no looking back. Everything I could do with WM I can do better with my new EVO. Make the jump, you won't regret it.
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
I come from WM too and I was also afraid to switch. once I did I never looked back.

Android is a much more polished and intuitive OS then WM and very soon due to the rapid growth of the Android platform there won't be anything that you can't do on Android that you could do on WM.

only think I miss so far is Bluetooth Voice Dialing...but I heard it's coming with Froyo.
[EVO 4G General] bdf:
Thanks guys.

One concern is the "apps" I am used to all the free ROMs, tips tricks etc from so many years of WM and others hard work and passion to make WM phones tick.

How is the buy vs barrow app working out?

Thanks

[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
as long as u stick to XDA DEVELOPERS everything is FREE my friend.

the more u stick around here the more u gonna love your android device.
[EVO 4G General] CYDVicious:
I also came from WM, first on the Kaiser, did everything new ROMs, Radios, and even ran haret to boot Andoird (Eclair). I ended up preferring The latest WM rom over Android on the Kaiser. Then I upgraded to T-Mobile's HD2. Loved the WM experience on that device, did the ROM/Radio XDA life with that...sold it for the EVO... I won't be turning back now. There is just to much I like about Android. Now whether the EVO is the right hardware or not is another matter. I try to stick with HTC because of XDA...

Occasionally when I see some WM updates on the XDA Frontpage, I wish I still had a WM phone to try out that new app...But there are enough apps in the Android Market to do what I want the phone to do. And the fact I can have my Work Exchange AND Google Accounts sync'd is enough to never go back to WM, where I could use exchange to do one or the other...

I was a long time windows mobile user, and after switching to android, there is no way that I could go back to winmo. Android OS is miles ahead of windows mobile at this point. I highly encourage you to switch so that you can see for yourself what all the fuss is about. :)

This has been known to work very well on ZenEXP 0.9.7d.

For the deodexed version only

. What you can expect from this update.zip

(If you have Analog Clock or Fancy Widgets installed, make sure you uninstall prior to applying this update.zip)

:

This will not change the workspace cell size. I wanted to make this update more universal and if I change the cell sizes, it screws up other widgets. If you want to do it yourself, refer to my tutorial regarding this at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697994)

Themed HTC Clock per EnergyROM

Themed split clock per EnergyROM and CHT (Analog clock on left / Fancy clock on right)

Themed HTC Calendar Agenda / fits entire screen

Themed HTC Rosie Launcher bar

Themed HTC Friend Stream widget per EnergyROM / fits entire screen

Themed HTC Bookmark widget / fits entire screen

Themed HTC Messages widget / added title

Themed HTC Mail widget / added title / moved mail count to upper right

Themed status bar / updated font to Arial for entire system / clear backgrounds from all (hopefully) status bar icons

Themed XDA HTC_IME / themed phone dialer / themed slider bar

5 column HTC Rosie launcher Not now, it's causing problems / This Rosie does not rotate 270 degrees (portrait only)

Themed weather and music / Both weather and music work in landscape

Themed HTC News Reader widget (not shown) / similar to the Friend Stream widget

Some more screenies:

BTW, way too many people to thank! All the usual suspects, I guess.

Download the update.zip

Lastly, if you get a boot loop or 100% wake time, re-flash the update.zip. If that doesn't work, let me know. And, if you ever get a Force Close popup message that has a "Wait" button, push the wait button.

Wallpaper, if you want it. Thanks to someone in the Diamond forums? I'm sorry, but I really don't remember.
