[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattmann:
Have a few questions about Fresh, rooting, and Hero stuff in general, wasn't sure where to post. Wish there was a informal chat section.. lol

1. I've been running Fresh 1.5 with Gumbo Kernel and Fresh's android peep lock screen for about 5 months or so. Loved it. Decided to get with the times and try new roms, problem is most of them would boot loop my phone. After flashing all sorts, from what i can figure out, my phone won't take an overclocked ROM. Why might that be?

2. I Really wanted to run FreshToast, but it would either boot loop, or be so unstable it would reboot itself all day. So i settled on Fresh 2.1.2. Good so far (on day 2, fully configured), Almost seems like there isn't that much difference in performance from 1.5, but it's stable (which is one of the biggest things for me). I tried flashing Darchstar's Overclocked Kernel v4 for Fresh 2.1.2, but found that even an overclocked kernel boot loops. Is there any improved, non-overclocked kernel, like Gumbo, for 2.1.2?

3. Previously to running 2.1.2 i hated Launcher. I'm a senseUI guy. However it's not terrible i must admit. Been trying to get used to it just to try it out, however whenever i press the home button it takes me to sense home, then i have to press my shortcut back to Launcher. Is there a way to switch the default to Launcher, then later back to sense if i want? Some where there was an option for what the home button does, the way i read it was it would take to you Launcher home, guess not..

Last...

4. If i'm understanding it right, 2.1.2 is "Stock Clocked" to ~700MHz, so if you run OCwidget (or setCPU) that you are actually underclocking (which has it's uses i guess). So my question here is, Using OCwidget, does it Never hit ~700MHz?

So i lied..

5. I didn't realize there was Fresh 2.3.3 when i flashed 2.1.2. Is it worth the effort to reflash to 2.3.3? I don't see how some of you guys can swap back and forth between ROMs all the time. It takes me two solid days of going through all the settings to get everything back to preference, drive me nuts!

Sorry for the long post. Any input on any of these is greatly appreciated. I have done a lot of research, so i know most the lingo. I'm still a noob, but don't pamper me, let me know what's up.

....

6. How can i get a different lock screen on 2.1.2? I tried flashing the 'peep' one i had, but it didn't take. I've never had Fresh's Kitchen work for me, tried that too. I Hate the Vanilla lockscreen, mainly i just wanted something transparent, like the peep one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefoss:
I know, I know, if i want good photos, use a real camera. BUT, if I'm gonna have a phone with a camera and flash, I'd at least like the F'n thing to be usable. Taking pics with the flash is mostly worthless. 8 times out of 10 the LED flash washes out the subject (see attached). Is there an app/hack/kernel that allows us to adjust this?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Only a hack solution so far...use scotch tape to diffuse the light. I agree that the flash should be controllable. I am learning as fast as I can...camera and mms are two that do not seem to get lots of interest...so someone new will have to learn and dig into them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZibIeT:
Hey,

I have some Q's on the topic GPS & A-GPS, coz im gettin kinda confused over these sayings... What is the exact difference on GPS ( f.ex. Car GPS) and A-GPS (Assisted GPS)? The reason why im asking is coz on my Touch Diamond i have GPS: GPS & A-GPS-Ready nd my Desire has A-GPS.

What exactly am i missing?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabiladeeb:
A quick google would have sufficed.

http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/gps_vs_agps_a_quick_tutorial.html
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZibIeT:
Well that article actually gave me some nice info on the topic, but even though im still a bit confused with the A-GPS, coz as it says in the article :

But when you use assisted GPS this whole process is much faster. Very often cellular network towers have GPS receivers (or a base station nearby) and those receivers are constantly pulling down satellite information and computing the data. This data is then passed on to the cellular phone (when requested) and acts like a “cheat” since the relevant satellites to your location are already identified and all that GPS computations is handled by 3rd party computers.

So the A-GPS is pulling data from the network, and this must mean you need some sort of data subscribtion, if you dont wanna get screwed by your carrier, or am i mistaking?

[Captivate General] quarlow:
I had an HTC Aria before my Captivate, and noticed a difference in the YouTube app. On my Aria there was a setting to enable High Quality mode by default. Every movie I watched was in HQ mode. On the Captivate I cannot find that option. I have to start the movie, pause the movie, and press Menu > More > View in HQ. At least in the Aria version there was a toggle for HQ/LQ in the seek bar to the right.

Does anyone know if there is an option I am missing, or a way to install a version that would have this option?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
Ok I have a rooted hero and my boss has the evo so I don't get to updating it much. I used unrevoked to root the phone when they first came out and have installed no updates so far. I saw I missed unrevoked2 and 3 and reading the notes on the website leaves me with more questions then answers. I tried running the recovery console from hboot but it gave me a red triangle with !.

So now I am trying to figure out how to update since I can't access the recovery screen. Can I just update to 1.42 and then run the unrevoked3 and have full root access? Any suggestions. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:
that sounds like it should work, do it quick though because when froyo 2.2 comes out, u might not be able to root.

and btw unrevoked 3 is not a full root, if u use simple root it is, and just as easy, might take 15 min. though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangerruss:
When you are at that screen with the red triangle hold volume up and press power that should get you into the boot screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
What is the difference between full root and what unrevoked 3 get you?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
You unlock NAND which means you can make changes to the file system. If you want to remove stock apps, make any file changes or want to install custom ROMs, then you need NAND unlocked. Careful though, it downgrades your PRI and there is NO way to upgrade it again, even if you return to stock. If you are able to do what you need with what unrevoked provides, you are better off sticking with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
so if I don't care about running custom roms (only really interested in wireless tether) then upgrading the phone...breaking root...and then just running unrevoked3 would be my best option?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
Can I just install the deodexed version of froyo released today?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
Yes but you have to be fully rooted...nand unlocked...and have a recovery flashed to download that.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevillarroel:
Dont do update 1.42....

My advise, don't update to 1.42, unistall unrevoked and do Toast root 1 and 2 method, then you'll have nand unlocked so you can flash a 1.42 rom already rooted, after that you can flash any Froyo flavor you want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevillarroel:
Do not upgrade manually, i repeat, DO NOT UPGRADE, it would be difficult later to get the full root

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjt:
You had unrevoked 3 before the SimpleRoot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
So you can use simple root after downloading the official 1.47 and regain full root access?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
...anyone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
The official 1. 47 yes. The official froyo 3. 26 whatever it is hell no. They have a simple root 3 step for 1. 32 dig deep in development thread. Chillin and good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
The only way you can update to 2.2 AND have root is to go to full root/nand unlock...

Use simpleroot imo and then flash the ROOTED stock froyo rom.

I love the CM6 Rom because it has all AOSP apps, icons, notification bar, all that good stuff. I prefer it over sense.

However I know the CM6 Rom is ported from the Nexus one, but has Cyanogen said he will make a new build based off of the Sprint Froyo update?

I still want AOSP, but I do want working 4G and bluetooth.

I believe that the problem is, because it was from the Nexus one it will take a while to get 4G working and bluetooth because the code is different?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
I'm sure he won't, since the only source Sprint/HTC are required to release is that of the kernel.

I don't know how many times people have to be told that CyanogenMod is an AOSP ROM before they actually pay attention. If it's not open-source, it's not in CyanogenMod.

Seems incredibly simple, yet people have an incredible amount of difficulty with it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknownforce:
This Here ^
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cath0dez:
Most roms use native (i.e. not covered by the Android open source license) code owned by HTC, Sprint, or Google. This includes some Google apps and system processes like the Evo's wimax code.

Cyanogen only uses open source code, period. All of the code is either modified open source code or made from scratch. The reason that 4g doesn't work on Cyanogen is that they are currently in the process of reverse engineering an opensource radio to implement on the Evo.

And now the reason - by keeping the entire rom open source, Cyanogen and the team can focus on the creating a great peice of software without having to worry about legal actions by HTC, Google, or Sprint. There is a lot of work put into the roms and it would be stupid to risk everything with stolen 4g code or a Sense port.

When HTC releases the kernel source Cyanogen will easily get things working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
4G not working has nothing to do with the kernal. its the actual coding htc used to create the program that makes 4G work. Since htc is not going to release those codes cyanogen and team have to reverse engineer the program. Actually 4g is coming along nicely and should be here soon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
From the sound of it the new 2.2 release actually wont help them at all? I feel like that can only be some what true. I image they will still look at the coding of some of the features to guide there way to fixing some of the current issues? Either way CM6 is freakin awesome and I dont plan on changing to sprints 2.2. I am in love with froyo and not having sense on my phone is great since I like ADW anyway.

Ugh no, you can use your brain and know they have nothing to do with each other. Also as the other Guy stated, even on twitter cyanogen said the new release will not help in any way.

RE: Extremely slow data on Android?

Hi guys,

I am currently on Android: dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-Sense-PR1 and Windows: ChuckyROM-23128-Lite.Jul.30

Having set up the phone fine with data working, I was just wondering what is causing the data connection to be painfully slow. For example, engadget.com takes forever to load through my 3G connection even if it shows the H sign i.e. high speed 3G.

Data works blazingly fast on WM so it has nothing to do with my network.

Any suggestions on how to improve the data speed and what is causing this slowness?

Thanks!

Okay, so there could be one possible issue, but I can't test it in my area. I don't know that the EU modem software will support 850 MHz 3G, but my area is only 1900, so it works fine.

This may cause issues with 3G for people in 850 MHz areas following this guide, but you can always flash back if you do have issues, so we'll know more after someone in 850 MHz area tries it.

Neither can I. As you can see it gives me a Tennessee server as my closest, but I live in Raleigh, NC. I know there is a server that's just down the road from me, but I can't get the damn thing to see the right servers. Just play around with different servers until you get one that seems pretty fast. Even with 10 or so servers closer, I found the Reston, VA server to be the fastest for me when it was finding the proper location.

I am in a 850Mhz coverage area, flashed to the 2.1 MODEM_I19000XXJM1.tar and couldn't connect to a 850Mhz tower. Usually when the phone is by my desk I am on 850Mhz, and I verify it by putting the phone in network mode *#0011#. After flashing the phone showed 1900mhz and poor -db, flashed back to default modem software and locked back onto 850Mhz band.

Someone else in a 850Mhz area should verify my findings that the modem firmware for the EU version disables 850Mhz band.

Guess we'll want to try and find the Canadian firmware since it will be 850mhz and see if that helps (when it's available).

[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Well damn, sorry for the premature celebration on this one. I could deal with no 850 MHz 3G since we're only 1900 MHz in my area, even though that wouldn't be a good final solution for everyone, but no voice in call isn't good for anyone.

I guess disregard this guide for now. Like I said, I'm still new to Android, but I've asked and it looks like there's no way to modify the radio firmwares.

It looks like the best bet is to look to the Canadian versions, I know they have networks that run 850/1900. If it's just AT&T with the restriction, perhaps their radio will enable HSUPA without any issues.

Edit: Hah, James beat me to it, exactly what I was thinking. I know Rogers has a Galaxy S planned. As soon as I can get one of those firmware's I'll try this again. Sorry guys, a call should have been the first thing I did, that was my mistake!
