[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
There seem to be a lot of EVO threads turning up in the Desire forums these days!

Seems to be some overzealous and incorrect moderation!

Regards,

Dave
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dono74:
I'd be interested in pitching in on this. My wifes evo has been a pain in the ass. It had its issues with 2.1 but has had nothing but issues since 2.2. Before the witch trials begin, I wanted to root her phone but the wife got all,,,, well, you married guys know where I'm going with this!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzbrie:
I was an idiot and upgraded OTA to 2.2 instead of flashing to a custom 2.2 ROM. With that said, if there is a bounty I'd gladly throw in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Or any others for that matter?

I have only found one set so far...

I'm sure I saw some one with a black round ball that the indicators went round, looked like it might of been a Dusk mod but As it was a picture.. Not found it again to ask them...

Any Ideas people? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
You mean like these?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
They're nice!

They're nice mate, are they as a cab or ping? Don't mind really, presume you drop them in to windows folder as usual?

They aren't the ones I was originally talking about, it was a single ball, about twice the size of yours, cant really tell you any more as you can understand, i passed it only glancing. Wish i had made a note... :(

Thanks again buddy, can you upload them? :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
These page indicators were made by k8sh and were in a cab file in this thread. The on page indicator in the cab is blue. I just modified it using a free graphics program called Gimp. I've made several colors to use depending on the backgrounds I'm using. The ones I've modified I haven't cabbed up though. I find it easier to just drop them in the windows folder. If you are going to use these, you might want to backup the CHT default ones before you over write them. The file names are CHT_page_on.png and CHT_page_off.png. Since I have different color on files with different names, you will have to rename them to the correct name before dropping the files into the /windows folder.

Let me know how it turns out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Sweet dude!

Take a look for yourself! :D Thanks man! Really nice!

Still curious to see what else is out there...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xXJohnXx:
How about a notification bar ?

Don,t know if there is 1, but i would look nice :cool:

Nice setup snowblind ;)

Greetz.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Thanks xXJohnXx!

Cheers buddy :)

Still on the list of things I'm looking for are:

-Notification bar

-Custom start menu Icon

-Toggle switches

-Slim slider hider

-Maybe a different page indicator (not sure as i love what Ive got :D depends whats out there)

-Bit more texture to my clock digits

-Music player buttons (CHT)

-and finally a nice font that includes all characters

And I think I'll be there!

Not much I know! lol :D

Just wish I had a decent pc so i could learn to do it my self, not my crappy notebook.....

Thanks for the compliment ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
Try these clock numbers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Paten!

Thank you man! Just tried it,

Looks freakin awesome! :D

one favor to ask..

Can you make the bottom half of the digits the same as the top half as I noticed Its not as shocking in contrast, more mint coloured.

I think it would look absolutely awesome with it all the same as the top half :D

Thank you so much mate, :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
Okay, try these.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlintech:
green police home CHT 1.8.5

hello I seek the same font that you ( green ) for any home for manila 2.5.2016 + CHT 1.8.5 thank you very much! :) sorry for my English
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
You want these clock numbers?

I have manila 2.5.2012 on my stock ROM + CHT 1.8.5 so I don't know if there is a difference with 2.5.2016. You can try them if you want.

Edit: Now that I've thought about it for a while, I think you mean you want to change the text on your home tab to a different color, right? You have to use Co0kie's Home Tab Editor and go into the miscellaneous settings. Go down and tap Main text color and enter the RGB code for the color you want. I found a website that shows the RGB codes for all the colors you could want here.

Hope that helps.

Also, if you go back to the Co0kies Home Tab thread, there is a fix for the location and temperature text that doesn't change Just go down to the "Known Issues" section at the bottom of the first post and download the fix. [Manila Mod][19-Jun-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5

Spot on!

Exactly what i was after! Thanks! :)

Thats a few more things off the list!

Thanks again Paten! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
No problem. Glad you like it.

Nice one mate, I love Paten's work! He's been soo good to me ;)

Are there any other different shaped ones out there?

Just curious.. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

I don't know if this question has been asked here before or not, and please spare me on the flaming if it has, but what are your honest opinions about trading in a Droid Incredible for an Evo?

Personally, I love my Incredible, and don't think there is anything wrong with it. I just wish it had some things that the Evo did.

Factors that matter to me and I am considering the Evo for:

1. Largest screen

2. Front facing Camera

3. HDMI port

Factors that scare me, or keep me from an Evo:

1. I have heard the size is really uncomfortably big, is this true?

2. I heard the battery life is horrible on the Evo! Personally I think the battery life on the Incredible is nothing special either, but I heard it's really bad on the Evo. I almost never use 3/4G or data, and just use WiFi very little, so this might not be a big deal for me.

I am sorry for writing this post without actually having an Evo in my hand, but it's sold out in my local stores. I intend to just ask for a trade on Craig's List or buy it from Ebay, if I get positive responses...

Also, 4G is negligible for me, since I will be using it on the Verizon network. Thanks for all your help, guys! I really appreciate your help!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
Dont really see any use for a larger screen, HDMI port or front facing camera.

I would get the samsung galaxy S for verizon when it comes out, its screen is in the middle of size betwen the dInc and evo. I dont believe it has HDMI out or front facing camera. Also EVO is on sprint and i know sprint by my sucks the fat one. I would rather stay on VZW.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
I've held the evo. Its fat. I mean its cool, the front facing camera is awesome, and the HDMI out is awesome. But its fat. I mean.... obese...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Hmm, it's funny, but not completely unexpected the responses I am getting for the same post in the Evo forum versus the DInc.

So for your guys it really comes down to the size, huh? I thought about the Galaxy S, but other than the screen quality on that thing, I am not too attracted to it. Something about a Samsung product, just never sounded right to me (even though our DInc screens might be Samsung, huh :P)? Plus, I love Sense, I don't think there is a better implementation of Android, so far, in terms of the UI, than Sense.

Front facing camera is really the biggest force pulling towards the Evo. The screen is also a huge component, cause, it's the biggest in so far (other than Dell Streak, which I don't care for).

Since we're here, why not make the inevitable comparison and ask abou the Droid X... what do you guys think :)?

Thanks for all your posts!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbenj:
Huh? did I miss something?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
ummm... how will you use it on the verizon network? the evo is locked to sprint even though its a cdma phone... and pls dont talk abot flashing the IMEIs. Its dangerous (not sure if its illegal or whatever) but certainly can brick your phone. A 4.3" screen brick with HDMI, and a front camera will still be a brick. If u want a bigger screen - i would recommend the droid x, even though it does not feel as sweet as the htc phones. Cant help with the front facing camera - seems none of the VZ phones have that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lcsglvr:
Verizon's getting the EVO. Yippi ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Nope, no way. Don't want a phone that big (same goes for the Droid X), and I sure as hell don't want Sprint.

(You asked for an honest opinion ;) )
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
why would anyone want to pay 10 dollars extra a month for a 4g that is pretty spotty at the moment and not available everywhere?

The LCD screen of the EVO is no match for the AMOLED display of the incredible.

Other than that.. if you are OK with switching to sprint network over VZW.. then go for it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asterdroid:
I think he means he'll be using VZW towers, since Sprint phones use VZW service if they're out of range of their own towers.

I think...

Or I could be wrong. I usually am.

Either way, in response to your original post, here's my issue. I took a look at the Droid X and left the store very happy with my Incredible, for the same reason I wouldn't buy an Evo. Simply put, you can't use the phone in one hand. Unless you have gigantic thumbs, there is no way you can manipulate the entire screen with your thumb, while holding the phone in the same hand. It's not a question of the phone feeling too bulky. It will still fit in your pocket just fine. It's not an iPad (with wings) after all. It really comes down to whether or not you use your phone one handed or not. If you always hold it, and manipulate the screen with the index finger of your other hand, great. Get the Evo. If not, you'll hate it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
No flame here, but i'm curious as to what exactly youre using the phone for besides calls.

On a different note, considering the large screen and front facing camera are the two deciding factors for you, i would say stick with the incredible. I promise you the EVO isnt gonna be the last phone with these features. im sure the next phone to have these 2 features will utilize them much better than the EVO does.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technikalkp:
I went the opposite way. I had an evo and returned it for an incredible.

The phones are more similar than different. Battery life was pretty much the same. No major differences in performance, though the inc seems a tiny bit more responsive.

I didnt see any use for hdmi out on the evo - I already have an htpc connected to the tv for viewing anything online. I've had front facing cameras on every laptop I've owned on the last 5 years and never really used it so not a real advantage for me.

Size wise the inc is more comfortable, but the evo is not too big.

I'm in a 4g city, but at home and work 4g performance was no better than 3g.

Rate plans for me were very close in costs, though Sprint was more flexible.

I returned the evo due to WiFi range issues and general concerns that I'd bought a multimedia device that happened to be a smartphone when what I really wanted was a smartphone that could occasionally play multimedia.

Add in Versions option for 1 year contracts, and the inc was a better fit for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Remcodb:
Hey guys, i've been looking for this all day, but i can't realy find a awnser.

Today i deleted all my contacts from google (gmail, on my pc). Obviously they disapeared from my phone aswell.

Now i restored my contacts on my phone (made a backup), but they wont reapear on gmail...

Now im wondering how the sync works, and if this has to do with my ROM (CMH) not having sense.

Thanks in advance guys :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Remcodb:
Omg I must be retarded...

I just had to press the 'Sync now' button in the menu -.-'

Sorry guys, just delete this.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
I would suggest finding a demo unit somewhere to get a feel for the size. As far as battery life goes, if your not using data very heavily and constantly messing around on the phone you should have no problem going all day on a charge. It depends heavily on your usage. I think they are both good phones, and you will ultimately have to decide for yourself. I know that's not what you wanted to hear.

As far as using the EVO on verizon's network, I assume you are familiar with the necessary steps to sneak the phone's MEID into Verizon's database? That is not something just anyone can do.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
IMO until the next gen comes out the EVO is the best phone money can buy.

I actually love the size, its not too big for me at all. I don't use a case or screen protector. Back when I had BB's I got in the habit of devoting my front left pocket solely to my phone. The EVO is so perfect for me its scary :D

Battery life is a non issue if you know how to set up and use the thing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
+1

No complaints about size or battery life (last phone was a G1) and if you can use a computer, you can make the EVO better than any phone out there imho
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Thanks for your responses, guys.

I guess it really comes down to preference, huh? I got the exact opposite advice to this in the DInc forums, but that's not unexpected, is it :)?

I don't think the size should be a problem for me either, but like you guys suggested, I really have to try it for myself.

What do you guys think about the strong knocking on the EVO's camera? People say its HD recording is a joke... Obviously I don't follow the threads, but the FPS updates and tweaks, improve that stuff?

How about the mirror capturing of the front-facing camera?

There's also some buzz about the screen being duller, cause it's an LCD TFT screen, with only 265K colors? As opposed to the AMOLED on the DInc, and 16 m colors?

Heck, since we're here, why not I mention it... what do you guys think about the Droid X as an option?

I really appreciate your responses again, thank you!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkinnison90:
I think the screen size is perfect. At first it did seem big and like 20 minutes later and felt like any other phone to me..

Battery life is perfect for me as well. Gets me through the whole day so not much more I could ask for outve the battery.

I'd say pick up the evo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
And as an added bonus, the Sprint plans are cheaper. It's a win-win.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
My opinion on the EVO 720p recording is that it is not top quality filming material. There is a lot of granularity in the shots and it lacks a crisp HD look. With that said I have never used a phone as a primary camcorder and point and shoot device like I have with the EVO, and I love it for what it gives me - quick spontaneous moments caught on film and at a very passable quality. Just remember it is a phone first and camera second and you won't be disappointed. If you use it outdoors in sunlight it works fantastic, low light settings, not so much.

If you prefer AMOLED and the rich colors, you might be little disapointed with the EVO TFT. FWIW I don't think either technology works well in direct sunlight, but I would take LCD over AMOLED just for that reason.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpeazy:
To each their own, but I love my EVO (and I have played with several Incredibles), my wife (who is not a phone person loves hers...I get no attention now) and my 15yr old daughter loves hers. I don't think I could comfortably go back to a small screen device.

Hi I want to start this post so everyone can post their experience with the new 720 Recording Feature on the HTC Desire!

Please post Like this:

Problems

FPS

Rom used

I'll start:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxxPdPd8ea4

Description:

Me being very concentrated while playing the Drums... new song ;) Bad Lighting hard sound situation (way too loud for this little Phone ) so worst case :D

Problems:

I see constant drops in FPS, or more likely a stuttering ever few seconds video playback just kida stops, audio is fine though! I did not have this Problems with other Roms so I think its not my SD card acting up?

FPS: 5-11 not very constant at all, although lighting was very constant (although very bad)

ROM used: LeeDroid 7.1b
[Desire General] andycted:
Before official update:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugjI5ygsXzQ

Average/good lighting

20fps

Can't remember the rom, I think MCR v5, it was before the official update.

Not a lot of stuttering that I can notice, but the lens cover was a bit smudged and so the video came out a bit opaque.

After the update:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6KuPCn6_2M [quality should improve in a bit]

Probably a tad better lighting conditions

23fps

ieftm semi-stock rom

This is the best sample of three, one was ok, but the last one was stuttering quite a bit, as I think some background program was accessing the sd card heavily. Also lens here was a bit dirty

by the way, youtube quality doesn't render properly, linking videos should be better.
[Desire General] finnschi:
Did not know that, your Video looks very pixelated... Is that because its on Youtube? I will edit main thread thx
[Desire General] andycted:
No, I think it was me that turned contrast a bit too high and the fact that without optical zoom or camera lens optics you can get lose details in the distance on such high resolution
[Desire General] gogol:
I gave up 720p, it is not good. Jumpy, low fps and especially ****ty voice quality.

I use 480p, but it is also not good, not too jumpy ... still ****ty voice quality.
[Desire General] chris_h16:
I have 2.2 rom from here and 720p keeps freezing every few seconds.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
720p is ok for me. Is it possible that its to do with the internal memory available? I have 60mb or more free, I know some people are down to low numbers. my card is a class2 too. I think the clips look better played on the PC in VLC lpayer than when I upload them to youtube. I think youtube might be introducing some of the negative aspects seen... maybe?

P.S. -- is this jamming to the old WHO classic I CAN SEE FOR MILES ? -- just curious... in the event it is because Roger Daltrey still tours this very summer playing it -- and a friend of mine, a session guitarist in L.A., does Townsend's parts. ... Me, waiting for the answer:

P.S.S. Is this not the coolest thing? DUDE! Your bio here at XDA!

I gotta applaud you. I have used Apple products for 25 years. And I currently use primarily Mac computers, but I also use Windows machines. Very agnostic. But I have never used the iphone, especially since Apple was nowhere in sight when I started with touchscreen smartphones 5 or 6 years ago (but I salute the Newton!)... But I'm a usability designer, so i consider myself fair. And even though I have wanted my Desire to match or exceed the 720p capability of iphone4 -- i was at the Apple store a few weeks ago getting my damp MBP repaired for 3rd time and played with the iP4 -- and the 720p recording is pretty damn good. ... Lastly -- are you familiar with the various TEST PROJECTS that have been going on here since the Nexus One to optimize 720p in this HTC class of phones? If not, search... There are a whole bunch of serious collaborative engineering projects here, and as always XDA-devs work miracles -- so I'm not giving up hope yet. We may smash that iphone yet in recoding quality -- though I doubt it... I am told it records 30fps and no matter what backflips are done here, thru Froyo or other enhancements, we can't get this hardware to meet or exceed that. Is that true?
[Desire General] Daanlt:
720p is crap, its just upscale from lover res., dont use it.

more info:
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
The data rate of 720p is over 4 times greater than 800x480. 6000kb/sec versus 1200kb/sec. It's not purely upscaled at all. I made two sample videos of a page of text and compared.

There was ALOT more detail in the 720p video. Even when I zoomed up the 800x480 one. I agree it's not as good as "true 720 HD" but its certainly not 100% upscaled.
