another reason I miss my Aria.

Sense UI had this.

Sense UI Calendar also allowed dialing from Calendar, Contact Lookup (incl. exchange contact search) from Calendar, and url's for webex in the calendar worked.

All 3 of the above don't work properly in Touchwiz or LauncherPro on Captivate.

[HD2 General] Muzun28:
i did it already when i didn't get any answer so noting happend... every thing same as i get it first and it's still unlocked :))

[EVO 4G General] silverhawk_184:
Hello,

I am on a long journey, trying to flash my EOV to Metro ... a long story for later

Anyway, I ran across a post where someone said to write to the NVRAM from WhiteRabbit's generator: whiterabbit.org/android/

The file uploaded successfully (4 items were changed), but when I tried to reboot the EVO, it vibrates and comes up with the HTC EVO 4G logo, goes blank, and reboots

I have tried re flashing the rom, but it did not help.

I have access to the (power + vol down) menu and all i can do is reflash from the SD card, if I go to recovery, it reboots.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I made backups of my original NVRAM.

The backups were created with CDMA Workshop 2.7. How can I convert these to an image?
[EVO 4G General] TheEndGame7:
I am in the exact same situation. HBOOT is the only thing that loads and fastboot is the only command that works. I have HBOOT 0.93.00.0 installed from the 3.26.651.6 RUU.

The Rom Update Ultility (RUU) uses adb or fastboot commands (if adb is unavailable). After learning the commands the RUU uses I am able to duplicate what it does using a batch file (a script of all the fastboot commands in a text file named *.bat).

I cannot enable debugging (it always reboots/loops after white "HTC EVO 4G" splash screen and ADB will not work. I see no way of entering diagnostic mode (so I can't use QPST).

Recovery does not work. It loads and verifies any PC36IMG.zip file on the SDCARD but never asks do you want to update.

Attempting various other commands with fastboot always results in a Signature Verification Failure of some kind. I've been reading forums, guides, etc. all over but few start of with these limitations when trying to root or flash.

This is all I know so far. Hopefully someone else can add more insight if not a solution.

[EVO 4G General] BigRick10:
I went to Walmart last night and for full bars.
[EVO 4G General] ILYCyAnOgEn:
yes.........
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
Now that you mention it, the only time I get full 4g bars is when I am close to wal-mart. Wonder if its just coincidence.
[EVO 4G General] asenduk:
sweet!!! i cant wait to get the official Froyo on mines since i get already good speeds and will be moving soon very close to a Walmart!! :D
[EVO 4G General] fsuwade:
well if you might have saw on engadget there was talk about sprint and walmart having a deal for ever walmart to put up a wimax tower on roof. but i am not sure that there was any more talk other then that.

so if that is true i am going to test it out as soon as i go to walmart.
[EVO 4G General] doberman8u:
My 4g reception has greatly improved and my 4g speed has almost doubled over what it was in the same areas I had tested prior to 2.2. I too almost reached 9 mb when I was previously lucky to get 4.

So far, that alone has made this release very much worth the wait.
[EVO 4G General] ILYCyAnOgEn:
indeed!!111
[EVO 4G General] clayginn:
in St Charles MO no difference. i get 1 Bar and I am 1 mile from Walmart so not all have towers at least yet.

I did do a couple of test and found something else. If i select the St. Louis server best i get is 1500 down (20 miles away) if a select Chicago (450 miles away) i get 2800 normally with the best being 3500. I am think some of the test servers are not setup the same
[EVO 4G General] Nefariouss:
I get the same thing. The Houston server is less than 20 miles away but I can never get over 4. If I switch to the Dallas or Austin server which are like 200 & 300 miles away I can hit 9. Guess its server limitations.
[EVO 4G General] ILYCyAnOgEn:
im in salt lake, when i use 4g, speed test thinks im only 50miles away from austin texas, when i switch to wifi, speed test has my correct location, so its something screwy with 4g servers but i don't care as long as **** works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
The first step to recovery isn't holding the volume down key and then hit power.

The first step of recovery is admitting that I am powerless over xda and flashing roms.

The second step is believing that a Power greater than myself could restore me to sanity.

The third step is to make a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of Cyanogen as I understood Him.

The fourth step is to make a searching and fearless app inventory.

The fifth step is admitting to Toastcfh, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of voiding our phone's warranty.

The sixth step is to be entirely ready to have Cyanogen remove all these defects of programming.

The seventh step is to humbly ask Toastcfh to remove our Nand protection and gain full root.

The eighth step is to make a list of all apps and games we have downloaded (and not paid for), and became willing to make amends to all their developers.

The ninth step is make direct amends to such developers wherever possible, except when to do so would anger them or get us thrown into jail for pirating.

The tenth step is to continue to take app and game inventory and when we were caught, promptly admitted ignorance.

The eleventh step is to seek through brown nosing and donations to improve our relationship with Cyanogen as we understood Him, asking only for knowledge of His will for CyanogenMod and the power to use it.

The twelfth and final step is having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry xda's message to Engadget, and to practice these skillz with all our phones.

Can any of you relate to this? Do you, like myself, keep going back to the Evo section of this forum to see if there's any new roms or maybe a post you can reply to (or see if anyone responded to your post)? If so, please leave a reply. I am hoping I'm not the only ocd person in this forum!

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
You need to have an Android source tree to rebuild any components. The xdandroid guide would be the quickest:

http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_the_Source

Any rebuilds of the RIL need to be placed in /lib/froyo/ of the rootfs rather than /system/lib where Android puts it.

BTW htcgeneric-ril.so is C, while the line you want to add is Java. Are you sure thats the right place to patch it?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] garnecia:
Thanks Tremere.

i am newbie in C and java.

So i can not figure out this code is wrong.

i am sure that postion of code is right.

but just android source is download and make then compile is complete ?

must compile whole android source but only 'libhtcgeneric-ril.so' ?

that's too difficult to me. i am newbie at linux, C .
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] garnecia:
Sorry i am totally wrong.

thas is too difficult.

mmmmm......

I am give up..
[General Questions and Answers] settlethestorm:
This is a total noob question but the sprint ported roms for Eris... if I use those it still works Verizon? I really don't quite know what porting is so my bad and thank you in advance for the simple answer lol
[General Questions and Answers] settlethestorm:
Really...??? No-one can help me with this simple question? Thats dissapointing :( Ive since done a little research on porting but i still dont know the answer to my above question. So again, the sprint and hero ROM ports on jCases "Known Eris ROMs, Hacks and Patches" thread, can i flash those and still use my phone on verizon or is it the otherway around..? Flash and use phone with sprint instead of verizon? I JUST WANT TO FLASH THESE ROMS!!! They look better then some of the 2.1 sense based ROMs and I'm NOT ready for Froyo yet, but before i flash i must have this question answered!!! I dont want to mess ANYTHING up to do with the actual carrieirs. please help :)
[Captivate General] tackleberry1982:
Silly question but I if I root and I need to do a wrranty claim, can I unroot by restoring the phone or is it rooted for good?

Thanks
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
From what I have heard...all that you need to do is uninstall the apps that show you rooted (Superuser, Titanium backup, ROM Manager, Busy Box, etc) and delete the update.zip from the SD card and you'll be all set.

I'm not completely sure on this but I THINK that's it.
[Captivate General] tackleberry1982:
Does it show the lock on the phone like on the nexus one on boot up if you root it?
[Captivate General] p8ntballsk8ter94:
the only way to really unroot is to restore your phone using odin3.

this will completely wipe your phone including the os and reinstall it. you'll then have all the att apps if you deleted it. Make sure you keep it connected. I bricked my phone purposely by disconnecting it while it was whipping. There is absolutely no way to get it out of this brick. you'll end up having to get a new phone (all i said to att was i think the usb port went bad lol)
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
Haha that is one hilarious solution to getting a phone replacement. Did AT&T give you any issues?
[Captivate General] pinoymutt:
Check out the one-click Root Tool in the Dev section. I believe the dev just updated the tool to have a one-click UNROOT option as well.
[Captivate General] p8ntballsk8ter94:
Nope, didn't give me any issues. The phone was completely bricked with no response to outer source power. Plug in the USB, not even the battery thing shows up. the ATT guy tried 3 different chargers and figured it had to be the USB too. Swapped out phones and he grabbed me a new one straight from the box.

I used to do this a lot back with my iPhone 3G. Not that I like to cheat companies out of their money... I'm definitely not for that. But really, the batteries would degrade an hour less capacity a month so i needed to replace a phone without making it seem like it's the users fault nearly every 3 months.

[Nexus One Android Development] babijoee:
Over at PROJ: Overclocking the Adreno GPU on Snapdragon Devices they were trying to achieve to overclock the GPU to improve performance.

I've decided to open this thread for dedication for software porting/improving for adreno GPU on all Snapdragon chips.

1st thing we require/need to start work is:

Any source for the adreno/gpu drivers that are currently being run on our devices.

Its been mentioned that Acer liquid has same gpu running on lower cpu clock and achieving greater results.

Open source 3D driver for Snapdragon @ CodeAurora | Site Source

Acer liquid GPU drivers and source

Require Acer Liquid dump of adreno libegl files

Acer Liquid Kernel Source

| Source site

AdamG working on this repo

http://github.com/xdabravoteam/cm-kernel

(May or may not be helpful)

glbenchmark: Acer liquid | Nexus One = Desire | EVO4G | Incredible

From there we should be able to improve our drivers from other devices but i think its a good start to look at the Acer Liquid since the source is available iirc.

That should be what we need for a start.

If i'm missing anything please let me know and i'll add it.

For reference to the other threads i posted.

Desire Porting thread | EVO4G porting thread | Incredible porting Thread

Hopefully we can get this project going and improve our GPU performance. :D

[Nexus One Android Development] tolis626:
About time such a thread got started!I was tracking the thread about overclocking closely,but things got a little too intense there... :(

So,because I was in the UK for vacation this past week(call me an idiot,I'll accept it) and just got back in Greece I have some questions.First,wasn't intersectraven working on a kernel with the E's driver built in?How is that going?And second,would it be of any benefit trying to port the driver bit by bit?I mean,we could port one "piece" of it at a time and see where in the process things get nasty.

Thanks! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Jack_R1:
Have to correct this. The relationship of GPU clock to CPU isn't a given number, relationship to other places is. The GPU frequency is the same in Liquid E and in Nexus, so the gain will be 50%. Still, a lot to gain, if possible.

It's only semantics, but in case the porting succeeds - it's good to know the ballpark for the expected gains.

Best of luck with this effort, I hope it'll succeed.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
We couldn't do it bit by bit, as it's an all or nothing deal, everything must be in place before the code works, but that did give me an interesting thought...

You see, iR did port the driver over, but it crashed on boot. There's two reasons for this, either it couldn't find a userspace driver and we're much closer than we think, or it went about the wrong way. We know that the driver can be ported without compilation errors based on this, so... I wonder if we can port both drivers at the same time? Give the framework for the current GPU driver to work so that it doesn't crash, but have the new driver reporting errors? It would at least show us a bit more about the boot process.

Say we had all of the new driver and all of the old. Only the new driver is "active" but the old driver has all of its symbols as they were. Any external program calling these symbols would get them, but they'd never be activated by the kernel. Even better, we could redirect the symbols to the CodeAurora equivalents. Then we could map what is actually called early on and possibly by whom.

It's a bit absurd, but it's a possibility going forward. Now if only we had some way of getting kernel panic dumps off of iR's kernel, then we could make some real progress.

Anyways, my big post updated to reflect Jack_R1's correction.
[Nexus One Android Development] babijoee:
This idea seems plausible, i'll pm iR if hes able to do that :)

If anyone reading this is also able to do this please let us know. I'm sure theres many people who are willing to test this.
[Nexus One Android Development] madman_cro:
i think that you should share this tread to desire and evo, and maybe get some more help from theirs devs. its basically what we all want
[Nexus One Android Development] tolis626:
That's right.Evo,Desire,Incredible,they all use the same GPU.I too believe we could cooperate with devs from these forums.
[Nexus One Android Development] NeoS:

I'll keep an eye on this. Good job babijoee.
[Nexus One Android Development] madman_cro:
good memmories from wm))
[Nexus One Android Development] babijoee:
Will do :) lets all work together

like you i want to improve graphics on our beloved devices.

Edit:

I've setup a duplicate thread in Desire,Incredible and Evo threads all linking back to this main one. Alot of people are thinking the way to improve GPU is only to OC it and NeoS2007 and myself know better. We both were involved in winmo msm7k gpu software/driver improvement and achieved great results with the help of other xda members/developers.

Not for one second did i believe that our devices were running optimised graphic drivers and other devices such as Acer liquid E for example proves that.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Posted in the Evo section as well. Told some idiots to stay back :o :p

I think one thing that we had an issue with before was the fact that it wasn't integrated in the full Qualcomm kernel. There could have been other code in there it depended on that we didn't pull. We need to clone the whole CodeAurora kernel repo (.32) and build it and see if it boots.

Then there's the Liquid E stuff. And the new FroYo Sense kernel is a .32, so once we get HTC's source it may be able to be implemented there too. I don't think any of the Nexus kernels that are around are .32 so that could be why it wouldn't build.

Just my $.02
[Nexus One Android Development] babijoee:
Wow great start storm :) it sound like you achieved quite alot in write short time frame. Keep it up. Need any testing? Let any of us know :p
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Oi... I'm far away from testing here, my current goal is just to switch framebuffers... I realized where I'm going wrong, so I'm rebasing to iR's kernel source. It's a .35 source and that's been where all of my problems have been.

Quite literally, here's my procedure as of now: Get the Kconfig for drivers/video from the Acer Liquid E driver, copy and paste the framebuffer code from drivers/staging/msm to drivers/video/msm, try to compile.

I'll keep this post updated once I get the iR source downloaded.

Edit1: Alright, got my compiling to work, so far the only tweak I need to do is add "#include <linux/android_pmem.h>" to msm_fb.c (edit3: instead, put in msm_fb.h) , still having errors in GPIO...

Edit2: Added definition list from mach/proc_comm.h to staging-devices.c and mdp_vsync.c, repeated adding NULL as above in edit7.

Edit4: Changed line 23 in mdp_ppp.c to #include "msm_mdp.h"

Edit5: Commented out line 71 and 72 in mddi.c

Edit6: replaced dma_coherent_pre_ops and post_ops with dmb, as the functions prior don't exist and a commit says dmb replaces them. Really not sure about this. Compiling is smooth sailing from hereon out, except a duplicated function. Let's see if it kills my phone. :P

[Nexus One Android Development] bais:
I may be kind of off topic but I wanted to know:

Is PowerVR 530 (The Droid 1 one not the Droid 2/X) really much more powerful than Adreno 200? I mean Gameloft Games run a LOT better on PowerVR phones. But on benchmarks like Neocore or Quadrant (advanced) a Nexus and a Droid gets around the same score in the graphic department.

The question is not which is better but how much.

So I dunno, is it just a matter of bad Iphone port, or the Nexus One just can't handle Gameloft HD games? If someone could explain me...

Thanks!
