Sure mate. Use WeFi - http://www.wefi.com/download/wm/
[HD2 General] Jerseyman:
Not to sure why you suggested wefi. it does not work on the HD2 screen resolution (and also need the outdates Net 2.0)
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Thats very interesting what you say, because it working for me:

See attachments.

If this not satisfied you try registry mod. This mod causing, that if phone need data connection, then firstly try to connect with WiFi and if you are not in known WiFi range it use GSM. Similar but without interface like WeFi.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJDuckett:
Just wondering before I do this, because, with my last phone (HTC vogue), I switched to verizon lines, and the service was fantastic, but I kept getting error messages about it trying to connect to data and the like, and, I don't want to put up with that nowadays. Overall, is this something you guys have done? What are your experiences with it? Any drawbacks?

Second question is, how do I USB tether now that I'm rooted? I can do it with WiFi enabled just by plugging the phone in, but, that's just the same as stealing net with a wireless card. I'm looking to correctly root using my phone's data connection. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks for reading, and of course, any help is already appreciated.

I've had a contact for myself in Gmail for years. This way I can just type my first name and email stuff to my work, or home, or whatever.

The People app lists a contact up at the top of the list with my name and calls it "My contact card". I would love to be able to link it to my normal Gmail contact but it doesn't give me any options to.

Is there any value to me duplicating all my info by hand into the "My contact card"? What does that even do for me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
It allows you to send "My Contact Card" to another person, which of course can also be done with your Google contact info. Oh and it also shows your picture in SMS and MMS chat threads. if there is anything else i cant think of it, maybe if you lost your phone somebody honest could contact you ....

Do anybody know of a better mms app other than the stock and handcent. I'm running DC.3.2.3 Rom the problem is that the stock mms compress the picture way to small. Handcent takes too long to send out the pictures as if it donot want to send. Gmail works perfect just cannot sent to a phone number.

Any suggesting
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] n3oS7oRm:
You can always try ChompSMS it's quite popular and very similar to Handcent.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nerovingian:
This is the issue that really bugged me, I hated that the stock app couldn't send a file bigger than 14k and didn't like using chomp or handcent. If you are still looking for a more elegant solution, I might have a possible solution. I replaced the mms.apk file in the ROM I was about to flash with the vanilla one (attached) and after booting up it worked perfectly. I like the black background and when I attach a picture it doesn't compress it to crap. I just opened the zip file of the ROM with winrar and deleted the old mms.apk in the sys app folder and dropped the new one in its place. I realize this solution is less than ideal, and there is probably a better way with adb, but I figure soon enough you'll flash an updated ROM anyways.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
@Nerovingian

Thank you! That was the exact thing I was searching for awhile ago, but people were pointing me towards handcent and chomp (which were overkill for what I wanted). I was looking for white on black background mms app. I don't like the stock because just about everything else in the evo is a dark theme. The mms was obnoxious black on white and was blinding if the lights were out where I was. I hope your app is kosher and will behave itself (if you know what I mean)....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nerovingian:
I understand what you mean. If you have any doubt, there is am excellent post in the Android development forum that has all of the vanilla apks. Just search for vanilla topics and you should be golden.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
Thanks for the tip
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] weezer562:

I got this

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted

what did i do wrong? I'm running fresh 1.0.1 with amon recovery.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
@supwidachew

It worked for me. I went where the original was and renamed it to mms.apk.old. Then I went to the other mms.apk and installed it. No copying. It had some message about replacing something and I just said ok. In the settings of the app, white text on black was checked but not working. I unchecked it then got out of menu and killed the app with a task manager. Started app again and went into settings and checked the box then backed out again. I think I might have done this maybe three or four times before it finally took. I haven't tried sending anything yet so I don't know what's different with that yet.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freeza:
So this is indeed better than the HTC Messaging app? It doesn't compress pictures horribly? and it still works? Does the sense widget with numbered notifications still work? Does the lock screen message preview still work? Does the status bar message preview still work? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] supwidachew:
ahhh, ok. Let me install it and see how that works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nerovingian:
Allow me to elaborate on my process. I replaced the apk in the ROM file using winrar before I flashed the ROM (see picture to see where I replaced the file) using clockwork recovery, so I haven't tried to install it like a normal apk or through any other method. Since it is the vanilla apk it does not do the lock screen notification where sense shows it, although it does show in the notification bar while locked. Additionally, it does not compress the pictures horribly and I have tested sending and receiving, both which worked. I have only tested my method on Baked Snack 9.7, so I apologize if it does not work on your preferred ROM. Perhaps someone more experienced can offer a better method like using adb?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freeza:
Thank you. Does the message icon on the home screen still show the amount of unread messages with this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
If the icon you have on the home screen is the one that was dragged from the app drawer, the answer is no. At least in my setup it wasn't and not an option in settings either. There wasn't a mms widget either

Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
I tried sending a 44kb sound file with the vanilla mms app. It refused to push it out. I tried installing handcent and chomp and try each of them and they both failed. I found where the mms app installed itself and deleted it. Then I renamed the old "mms.apk.old" to mms.apk,rebooted, then the file sent okay. Damn, I was kinda liking the other app too. Hmm, I wonder if I can have both the vanilla and the htc messaging apps installed.... I'm gonna try it now.

This does not have numbered notifications on the widget like sense. It has a notification icon in the task bar, it does not do task bar preview like sense. As far as lock screen I dont know.

Add file via ADB

Steps on how to add the Mms.apk file to the system folder via ADB:

Note: Before you start make sure you copy the Mms.apk file to your Sdk/tools folder (Example: c:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools)

1. Open command prompt

2. Go to your sdk/tools folder

3. Input adb shell

4. Input su

5. Input mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

6. Input cd system/app

7. Input ls (this will show you a list of all the app files...double checking to make sure you're int he correct directory. You will Mms.apk)

8. Input rm -r Mms.apk (capitalization matters...this will remove mms app)

9. Input exit until you get to back to your sdk/tools prompt

10. Input adb push Mms.apk /system/app (hit enter) ...it will tell you that file has been copied over.

11. adb reboot

12. All done. should have new mms app.

Below is a link that will flash the mms.apk file. If you don't want to go through all the adb commands.

Download MMS.apk

Hopefully that helps

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evilecho:
can someone put up a screenshot of what this looks like
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ewilson:
I'm asking the same thing need to see what it looks like. What is different about this mms.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nerovingian:
I have attached a couple of screenshots showing the apk in the default dark theme. It is possible to change it to a white theme, if that is more your style. The greatest advantage to this apk is it allows you to send MMS messages without your picture being compressed to 14k like the stock app does. Also, it allows you to change the font size, change whether a name is next to each message and a couple other neat things. Personally I like it even better than the stock 2.2 app that is in froyo. I did flash this one over froyo and it worked, but FCed when I tried to change the font size. That was the only issue I discovered, otherwise it was awesome. I do not do the facebook sync, so that is why I don't have any pictures on my contacts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] supwidachew:
Ok, I installed the .apk and it works great until i try to send an mms, then it force closes. Also, every time ti turn on my phone the stock app is in its place forcing me to reinstall. Should I use the abd method to fix this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sablesurfer:
Very positive find!! Thanks for posting. I may be doing a nand back up and trying this one out. I have dispised the resize since day one.

For the question about resizing for service carriers....that is done on the servers...not on your phone...USUALLY. For some reason Sprint decided to add the resize to the phone...AND keep the one on their servers. So pics from the Evo are resized twice. :eek:

Now...as for what the other user can accept...that SHOULD be up to their carrier. MY carrier should not resize MY pics....grrr. But then bandwidth costs seem to trump my desires. :mad:

How do I change the Boot animation the Offical Froyo from Open Desire rom?

There is no system/media folder and when I drop it in data/local it does n't see it on boot.

Anyone Anyone?

In FROYO the directory is:

/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

you can symlink the froyo directory with the /data/local/ one with the following trick

ln -s /data/local/bootanimation.zip /system/customise/resource/bootanimation.zip

check it with

ls -l /data/local

ls -l /system/customize/resource

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I have used both ffolkes and netarchy

ffolkes i got better battery life however if you have a nova screen you need to search for and download "Novafreq" app and play with it a little tog et the best results for FPS. My normal FPS on this kernal was 40-43.

Netarchy - YOU DONT use Novafreq (which may be why some of you got such a low FPS on it, you really want to be at its stock which i believe is 380 or you will get horrible fps) With netarchy i get better FPS but slightly less battery saving. my average FPS with netarchy is 49-52FPS

Over all the battery saving was a significant amount or me between the too but it was slightly noticeable. In the end i chose Netarchy since i felt the added FPS was more significant then the slight battery increase.

The other reason i choose Netarchy is it gets updated frequently where ffolkes seems to have stopped at what it is (nothing wrong with that since it was mainly made to fix FPS on Nova screens)
