Is it possible to view the passwords my browser has saved at all? Using Cyanogen 6 and the default browser.
[Desire General] AndyChecker:
I would like to know this too as I have saved an incorrect password once and now can't overwrite this even when typing the correct one despite clearing all browser items such as cache, history etc :(
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
Same problem here :(
[Desire General] AndroHero:
i dont think its possible it wouldnt be very safe would it? anyone that had access to your device could view all ur saved passwords :rolleyes:

have you tried using the clear saved passwords option in settings in the browser :p if that dosent work you could try finding the browser in the applications list in settings and clearing the data
[Desire General] AndyChecker:
I had tried the options within the browser settings but hadn't tried via applications but after doing this and restarting the phone the browser doesn't ask me to save the password for this site at all now - arghhhhh!

Thanks for reply btw :)

hey guys,

Was looking at some decals, and came up with this decal design. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. If decent feedback maybe ill look into getting a batch made and selling them for a few bucks.

Let me know what you guys think?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] wighty:
Awesome! Well thought, thanks for sharing with us. :-)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Freelancerx:
that does look pretty good, do you think the vinyl or whatever your thinking of using will stick properly to the matte coating on the battery door?

I like it. Clever use of the kickstand.

I'm really handy with duct tape and an exacto knife, I could make some mock ups out of colored duct tape or electrical tape, but sadly I don't have an evo to test them on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] runvus:
You could create it at Gelaskins and it will cover the back of the phone. They have a custom area that has a sticking agent to hold it to the phone. Have one on my laptop and Ipod.

I can't post a link, but go to their site and look at the create tab and pick the EVO.

Just pick the Evo. Love these skins for how they stick and can be taken off easily. Don't protect from anything but scratches, but are slick looking if you are careful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krimlin:
Noob alert, I'm new here, and I'm new to smart phones, I had the HTC Touch Diamond but it was defective to the point where the only thing I could do on it was browse the web and make phone calls...

I'm not that advanced when it comes to this phone since I just picked it up 2 days ago...

Question 1

I've searched around and saw there was ways to put apps on the SD card, and I'm sure just like a computer you can't run the apps off the SD card (unless you can?)

Well my issue with that is I've tried Astro but I'm dumb and can't figure it out.

Question 2

What's the reason and advantages of "rooting" my phone?

Question 3

Battery life... Battery goes dead in the matter of hours, I took it off the charger and within 10-20 minutes it was down to 89% battery life.

I've installed an app killer to save on processing, and save battery.

Set it to CDMA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
Answer 1: as far as i know the only rom using apps 2 sd at the moment is Flipz, ive tried one or two others, but they werent using it and im not sure if you can just add it on top. So you CAN install apps and have them run off the SD card.

Answer 2: Reason, because you can. Advantage, many! There are a lot of GREAT developers on this forum who strive to make this phone what it should have been out of the box. Problems like battery issues, software glitches, addons, features, they do it all.

example:

Free wireless tether that sprint wants to charge you an additional 30 a month for. (its a big draw)

oh yeah and custom roms.

Answer 3: there are MANY threads on battery saving tips and the custom roms that are adding their own battery saving features.

there are a lot of threads that cover your questions, so just look around and READ EVERYTHING.

good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
I am only three weeks into this phone, but this is what I gather....rooting your phone allows you to install apps that are not in the market. Some of these apps help you make your phone run better.

- Controlling the CPU - this is an option on an app (forget the name) where you can set the CPU speeds for when your screen is off or many other situations. the responses to that app seem to increase battery life hugely. this is my leading reason for why I 'might' root.

- Cleaning up bloatware - i HATE HATE HATE bloatware and had it off my winmo phone in about three weeks it took to learn how to flash. now i need to learn how to root so i can get rid of the dumb sprint tm'd stuff

- Adding better bits to your OS - (i think this is root and not nand) but you can find better bits for your phone, like a different keyboard or better radio or things like that would work for you better than stock. this way you can do the little tweaks you want.

Lastly you can put new ROMs on your phone. Lots of em already for this phone. So far the Evo seems to have camera issues on the roms...not sure yet which roms have it figured and which are still working on it. But you can try out different roms and see if you like em.

(Hopefully if I got any of that wrong...the experienced ones will correct...but that is what this noob has gathered so far.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
This is not true. You don't have to have your phone rooted to install apps that are not in the market. By default, this option is disabled. To get apps into your Android phone you just have to go into the settings and enable the ability to install apps not in the market. Simple and already in original ROMs.

Now, there are some apps that take advantage of ROOT and have some special feature, but you can still install them on your phone if you do not have ROOT, but you will not be able to use the app's special feature.

As with all apps, some make your phone run better and some make it worse. Caveat emptor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krimlin:
So again I'm new to this, where do I go to get these cool apps and such, and anyone have any tips and tricks for rooting, some of this stuff is above my head.

I'm sorry guys, I'm a moderator for a car forum so I understand having a noob show up asking alot of dumb questions that should be common knowledge in your circles LOL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
lol,

There is a program called simpleroot over in the dev forum that makes rooting a snap, and I think there are even some video tutorials

...And almost all the apps you would want are on the market
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
figure out what version you have, menu->settings->about phone->software information->build number

and then go to the read about rooting that version in the developer section :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krimlin:
Ok so I read through the rooting instructions made by toast, seems easy enough.

But I also saw that it wipes your phone, meaning?

Am I going to have to re enter all my contacts, download all my apps again, and change all my setting back to the way I like it?

Also after rooting my phone, I won't have to like re activate it to make calls right, and after rooting it when I turn the phone on again for use what will I find? Is it going to look like it did when I first pulled it out of the box?

There's alot of things I don't understand about rooting and if someone would point me in the right direction that would be awesome, I've tried looking but keep coming across discussion threads, and instructions, no real explaination of what it does to my phone and what I can use it for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Yes it will wipe everything pretty much. You should sync your contacts with google though so you dont have to worry about reloading those. After you are rooted you can use one of those 'root apps' called Titanium Backup and that will let you backup and restore everything.

You will not need to reactivate your phone. After you flash it will basically look like it did when it first came out of the box. Until you flash a custom rom, then some things may be a bit different (maybe custom themes, removed apk's, things like that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krimlin:
Awesome, thanks for the info. I appreciate the hospitality guys!

Rooting and the OTA

I swapped my 1st EVO in a panic after running the 1st June 29 update. I now have a 0003 with .6 and would like to jump into the world of root. My qusetion is at this point should I do the OTA and then root or just root with the 1st toast method 1 and 2?

Also my laptop set up for dual boot so I can use either Ubuntu or win7. One over the other for diving in?

Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
Try to do your root as close to the lowest version you have, but it seems that people have gotten root even after the latest OTA update.

I don't think it matters in what OS you want to work in to root or mod your phone, but it tends to be a bit easier under Ubuntu. It was a pain in the ass to get the EVO recognized under Windows. The easy 1 click root is made to work under windows. I find that creating a kitchen (aka setup to make custom ROMs with apps/features added or removed) is easier in Linux. And doing development and building the OS from source is waaay easier under Ubuntu. I'm doing development, so it's a lot easier under Ubuntu.

Summary, somethings are easier in Windows and others easier in Ubuntu.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jimbobalu:
Astro Pro is finally available in the market for $3.99. I really like this file manager but why is it so much larger than other file managers, 2.2M compared to .2M to .5M for most others? I also think they are asking too much, I think $1.99 is more reasonable. For now I am going to stick to one of the smaller, free managers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] edesignuk:
Listed as $2.99 at the moment, introductory offer.

It's a great app, I bought it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daemondemise:
what's so special about astro compared to estrong file explorer?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Thumbnail view (image preview) is one of the major ones I haven't found in other managers..

It's got a lot of added stuff like app manager, task killer function etc.

Really quick file moving, and according too the dev, it's supposed to handle interruptions a lot better than the rest. (say you're moving files and get a phonecall..)

The ad version is pretty bad though, too little screen space left for file-viewing.

It was my favorite until last update, now I'd rather pay for root explorer..

-e
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lyingit:
I've used both, they both seem to have the same functionality, but I actually prefer estrong's look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
I bought it also ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mike Blitz:
Plus remember you don't need to buy it as it just removes the ads added in the last update and helps support the developer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bengrulz:
In my experience I prefer astro simply because you can install an apk from within a zip file without having to unzip it. I tried many others but none seemed to be able to do this..

Hi all,

This is my first time creating or you can say cook a rom for the Android Community.

Before this, all I do is to flash other people roms whenever there are new updates.

Today I decided to try out 1 for myself.. Constructive feedbacks are welcome.. =)

Based on DJ Droid rom I had come out with Android 2.2 Froyo (HTC SENSE EXPRESSO STYLE UI)

Thanks to the devs who created DJ Droid.

Rom Installation Steps:

- Enter recovery (press volume down then - keeping it pressed - press power button) and make all the WIPES available, with the procedure you like the most.

- After WIPES have been done, use Fakeflash to install ROM file on your SD card.

- THOSE WHO DOWNLOADED OLD APP2SD, do continue to install the file without wipe after ROM installation.

- After installation procedure is over, reboot your phone (first reboot will take some time to complete (like 5mins?), do nothing meanwhile and do not off your phone).

- After first boot, complete first time phone configuration and YAY!!! you got your sense with Expresso style running...

OK, was going to ask this very question on what base updated Blue version is built but looks like you pre-emptied me:

* Android 2.2 Froyo (FRF-85B) < NOT FRF91 yet

* New Base v2.04 < NOT 2.06 yet
[Desire Android Development] marcdau:
I have to admit, blue-edited part of the battery is very baddly rendered :(. Can we be of any help ? Photoshoping file one by one... a really laborious work, I can understand you don't want to rush on that !

But I also understand that you will fix that in the 2.06 version... I guess it wil take several days, depending on your free time, don't want you to feel any pressure. Take your time mister ;)

You deserve to finally rest ! Get some sleep and come back with enough energy and will to keep on improving the Rom !

speaking for myself, I totally love the new theme ! I feel like the rom has won a real soul :D !! If I were you, I would do a nand backup and flash back the 0.12 rom just to try... No risk since you make a backup

That's it !
[Desire Android Development] :
What are the files responsible for the new lockscreen?
[Desire Android Development] marcdau:
Someone on my french topic has maybe pointed out more graphical bugs :

when highlightning a text field (i.e. Contacts>add new>clicking in phone number) the light-blue frame isn't very beautiful... :(

Edit : more obvious : when typing in the search field in market ... 0o

Silent mode icon in the notification bar, has no cross... so... in doesn't look silent anymore !!

As for the new market, it doesn't seem to solve any of the strange behavior I'm witnessing on my device (stopping after downloading an app, without installing it) but It seem that I'm the only one reporting that, maybe I'm just unlucky. Not that it's bothering me so much, though.

A more significant group of french people, writing in my topic, are reporting more and more missing apps. I understand that's why you've put market enabler for, but for the most part of them, they have never had to use this app in their previous froyo rom.

And after a few tests, market enabler wasn't of anyhelp, apps we're missing ARE on our french market, but we can't see them

And the one containing the french localization of settings menu ? Sound, Display, Voice Input are remaining in English after setting the correct language...

Lollylost100, I guess you prefer the former bar (thiner) of the lockscreen, don't you ? I can't make up my mind about that =)
[Desire Android Development] :
You have to edit build.prop to fake phone info for maximum market compatibility.
[Desire Android Development] marcdau:
And that's what Marlet Enabler is actually doing, is that so ?

I don't think so, on second thoughts, it's just faking the provider id, to access foreign markets.

I'm going to look for the exact build edition I have to make on my build prop, and do some tests. Thank you for the piece of advice.

I'm going to test flashing a build.prop with the Nexus Fingerprint...

Edit : The Nexus fingerprint (I've changed the whole line) hasn't resolved my problem... :'( I've read somewhere that it can take anything up to 24 hours for a fingerprint change to apply and start affecting results...

Apps missing for us, french people :

-the orb app suite (orbMusic, orbMedia, orbLive)

-pandemonium

-seed of life live wallpaper

the fact is, it's foreign (for us) paid apps... arg, I've got a headache now ^^
[Desire Android Development] marcdau:
I've tried editing myself the original png. Here's the result, beside the actual png in the rom.

As you can see the result is much sharper, If you're lacking time, I would be happy to provide the remaining png if you want :o

Edit : I spent an hour with Gimp, and I've made the 50 to 100 blue icons, sharp way ;) I'm gonna keep on tomorrow with others pngs :)
