Facebook will link some of that information to your contacts by default but that function is broke in 2.2 right now. There is a hack that you can run in the shell to fix it or search for the hacked .apk on these forums.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
WHo cares, all this thread is going to be a pissing contest about OPINION
[EVO 4G General] sturmen:
I like Sense. I like how cohesive it is. I understand the customization aspect that some people like about AOSP interfaces, but I like it o look good without any work. On top of that, you can install it if you want to, which a lot of you seen to like. However, it's hard to add it to devices that don't come with it. Is rather have it and disable it than not have it and seek out a buggy port if I do want it.

[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
Oh, the horror! OPINIONS!
[EVO 4G General] Dreddge:
I agree with OP. I love CM, but I eventually went back to DC because I love sense.

The Evo was my first experience with sense because I cam from an ADP1. I do not understand why people say that Sense is slow...I noticed NO difference in terms of speed between CM and DC.

I simply wont go with anything except for sense now that I've had it
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Uh... You can't just "disable" Sense. Rosie is not the only part of Sense.
[EVO 4G General] Albaholic:
The main thing I liked about Sense was the dialer... Using Dialer One on AOSP isn't seamless at all. I also really liked the FB integration. Excellent point on the Copy/paste. I miss it as well

About the 4g toggle widget. There is one in the themes section that works on AOSP and SwitchPro widget supports it as well
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
There's also a 4G toggle on Extended Controls.
[EVO 4G General] ReallyShawn:
I do see why some people like Sense. My wife loves Sense and the integrated Widgets. She also likes her Windows 7 laptop.

I like the freedom to tinker and mess with the OS. So I have a triple boot laptop with Win 7, Ubuntu, Win XP.

I think each of us enjoys our experience their own way. My wife has a sleek appliance that does what she likes. I have a techie wonder that lets me choose the elements of my experience.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
You can use yahoo mail with CM6....
[EVO 4G General] jnewkirk10:
It really is just all about personal taste. I came from a Samsung Moment and a lot of people were dying to get sense on there. I like to make the phone my own as well but I like sense. I haven't noticed sense making the phone that slow. I know maybe on the benchmark tests but in real world I didn't think cm6 was any faster than sense. I guess let the flames begin but I'm a fan of sense.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
I've never been able to get the pop sever thing going well with cm6.....................

it's a lot easier to do in sense than it is on aosp(the point I was trying to make).
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Yeah good point. But if you are on CM6 and want to use yahoo mail with original email app do the following:

Make sure you are not on wifi

Select manual setup

Select IMAP

for IMAP server enter imap.mail.yahoo.com.

Make sure port # is 143 and hit next

for SMTP server enter smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

Make sure port # is 25 and hit next.

Done
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Whoa, thanks alot! This'll definitely help out when I go back to cm6; messing around with baked snack so no need for now lol.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
AOSP is almost better in every way IMO. Sense just looks nice, that's it.
[EVO 4G General] LudoGris:
CM6 was boring. I had to move past that one pretty fast. Just not what everyone on here made it to be. I will just stick with sense builds from now on. Integration of everything is great, and nothing has been slow yet.
[EVO 4G General] trojandnc:
I agree with the OP. After flashing no less than 5 other custom ROM's over the past 50-something days since I got my EVO, I was just glad to have an up to date ROM where I knew everything worked again.

Then, with the addition of Root Explorer I think I'm set.

No, I am not an iPhone lover, but for all those crying about bloat this and bloat that... HTC and Sprint made the damn phone. Why should they be castrated because they want to make a UI that is best for the "Majority" of its customers and not the select few (like us) who dont care about voiding warranties and stuff?

..and since I still don't get this fps thing... 30 or 55... whats the diff??? 55fps is like have a "retina display" on a 3.5' phone.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
No, 55fps is like having smooth scrolling on an ipod touch, then switching to your evo and watching it stutter moving between home pages....
[EVO 4G General] wy1d:
There really are pros and cons to both and I haven't found a perfect solution. It's been driving me crazy trying to find my every day ROM. I can't find a perfect mail solution to save my life and I've tried every client (vanilla, sense, k9, touchdown).

CM6 offers a unified inbox and can support multiple Exchange servers. Auto-GAL lookup is awesome but only retrieves email addresses. There are practically no configuration options and for some reason mail sent with the client don't word wrap so everyone complains about my emails. No way to look up phone numbers from the GAL

Sense seems to work well and send mail correctly but can only support ONE Exchange account has no unified inbox. GAL lookup works for phone numbers, title, company, etc. Sense can also forward meeting invitations correctly as if you sent them from Outlook. CM6 lets you share a .vcs or .ics file but it comes as an attachment.
[EVO 4G General] DanBergundy:
I 100% agree. Htc makes a good UI. I'm still rocking cm6 due to functionality but I pick up my wifes evo for a taste of sense here and there.
[EVO 4G General] Eric-1987:
Haha just the opposite for me. Ever since using CM6 I realized how lame sense really is.
[EVO 4G General] splcfiya:
I don't see why people don't like sense.

I find that with sense off, the phone looks very dull. I also don't know what people are referring too when they say sense is cluttered and slow. I have 7 screens with all the widgets i use. I love the HTC widgets. If im not using the app then its not on any of my pages, therefor i never see it. I really don't understand.

As far as performance. I really don't find sense to be slow at all, any improvements in speed with it off are really unnoticeable. And I'll take appearance and simplicity over a .0001% speed increase any day.
[EVO 4G General] Eric-1987:
Depends how simple it is. Sense just feels like its locking me out of my personal customization. I used to like sense over the stock UI but now I dont since I've been with both. AOSP doesnt really add a lot like Sense does.
[EVO 4G General] chumba8:
Wow I'm completely opposite I liked sense ok till cm6 and now used the sense 2.2 and really hate it I think its horrible slow and unless and the 3d app drawer is way cooler in stock too I just can't live without 4g
[EVO 4G General] chrisctb:
used to love sense, started using cm6.

**** sense.

:D
[EVO 4G General] Rudementry:
I kind've like Sense more than stock, and I really have noticed that since I've been using CM for the past week. I think the only thing I'll miss really is Wiimote bluetooth, but I can always NAND restore if its needed. I don't think a patchwork of widgets is very clean or efficient, not too mention for most of the "replacements" for HTC widgets, you actually have to pay for them. Why would I want to do that when I get all the widgets I need on Sense free? Maybe I'm just sick of the same layout I've had for the past few days, maybe I just need something new. I might get bored of Sense once I use it for awhile. Oh and I HATE the AOSP browser. It feels awful. The + and - signs are redundant, the bar at the top is clunky and crowded, and the bookmarks system is atrocious. I really don't see whats so bad about sense. It doesn't feel any slower than nonsense, and its completely customizable. I can always just use a different launcher if I get tired of the Sense Launcher. Right? But in the end, I hop ROMS too often so its not like I'll ever stick with Sense, I'll probably be back to CM whenever RM2 comes out.
[EVO 4G General] xgoochx:
IMHO with sense you need to press a lot more buttons on certain things to get where you need to versus vanilla android. Like the phone dialer for accessing contacts for instance. Also the keypad is set up retarded for text messaging.

Only thing I like about sense is the clock with the weather widget, the rest of it you can keep.
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
For what its worth, I tried using my phone without sense for a week (trying out alternative launchers and widgets) and I missed it. I'm running stock sense now and prefer it.

The only thing I wish it had which it doesn't is landscape support.
[EVO 4G General] Shadow591:
If it had WiiMote Support I would leave it alone
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Love me some Sense UI :)
[EVO 4G General] bcispcpro:
the only two things i miss after switching to CM6 is the smart dialer (can type a phone number, or start typing a persons name on the dial pad...i REALLY miss that.)

and possibly HTCAlbum. 3dGallery just seems...slow. in my opinion. not to mention i could browse to a folder with something like RootExplorer and select an image, and it would IMMEDIATELY load for viewing in HTCAlbum...now i have to wait a good 10 seconds for Gallery to actually display the picture. its...annoying, but bearable.
[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:
i don't notice much of a difference... i just know cm6 is much smaller
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
I'm a new user on the Android OS. I was curious. I like the Sense UI but I agree that HTC and Sprint have a lot of junk locked onto the phone. If I root then unroot will the junk apps remain deleted?
[EVO 4G General] barbiedollish:
I really like Sense. After having a Samsung Moment, I don't think I will buy another vanilla android device. Vanilla is very customizable, but (not to sound lazy) it takes too much work and time to set up, not to mention too many apps. Sense just works and looks nice. Only upside I see for CM6 is the wide variety of themes, but that's about it.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
CM6/AOSP showed me just how bloated and slow Sense really is.

Then again I don't need HTC holding my hand when I need to upload a pic to facebook etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Kenzilab:
Hi all,

I have created one new app, it easy and in my opinion funny, i would like you all test it and say waht you think. It's CJDroiD, and it shows you many jokes in english and spanish. There are more than 30 categories and more than a thousand of jokes.

The goal of this app is that's sooo easy to nav between jokes and categories and you can hear them from your TTS service, but... if you like a joke sooo much, you can send it to friends using SMS.

It's new... and i'm working hard, I will add loads of funny jokes as soon as i get them! so... be patient and say all things you may need from CJDroiD... i'll try to do them!

You can download it directly from Android Market totally free!!

Thanks in advance!!

i hope you all help me improve it ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] secondskin:
This is not a new problem but I don't think a fix was ever released. When the official 2.1 for the Sprint Hero was released I noticed that my bookmarks weren't getting saved in the order I had them set at. In other words I would check to have my bookmarks listed in alphabetical order but once the browser was closed and removed from the memory they would not stay that way when I reopened the browser. Though it's not the end of the world it's highly annoying. I remember reading somewhere that this was a known issue as others had noticed and reported it. Months later I've noticed this still hasn't been resolved in any Sense based roms that and was wondering if someone could resolve this.

It wasn't a problem in 1.5 so I imagine there must be some way to fix it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] derekwilkinson:
If you think its the widget try getting the widget from the 1.5 rom and pushing it to your device
[Nexus One General] osugsxr:
loved using the nexus one, wanted to try out the new iphone 4. Sold a nexus one I purchased used, which had custom engraving, and the cords. Sold it for $475, unlocked bootloader, custom rom etc...helped the guy who purchased it go over everything. Borrowed a friends iphone 4 using the 4.0 os, multitasking SUCKS!....plus I got **** for selling the n1 from the fiance too, and I would be switching carriers plus paying alittle more, and 2 year contract.

Purchased a nexus one today off craigslist, only $340 :) pretty happy about that. Came with all items, box, paper work, headphones, case, charger, usb data etc... Very happy about that, well gets better I didnt have to unlock my bootloader for custom roms!!! Did a nandroid back up of my previous n1, and all is back to normal.
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
hahah interesting! What was so wrong with the iphone that you didnt like? Not really customizable?
[Nexus One General] cyberchuck9000:
From what I hear, the official iOS4 multitasking pales in comparison to alternatives for jailbroken iPhones.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Welcome back! Nothing like going around in circles :confused: :D
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
When I get home and ready to browse the web, I always make the choice between my ipod touch and nexus, and usually go for the nexus 9 outta 10 times. The ipod OS just doesn't excite me in the slightest. It's boring, really too much so.
[Nexus One General] osugsxr:
Didn't really like the os, love the trackball notifications, customizing is probably key.
[Nexus One General] hansmrtn:
Sounds familiar. I had and iPhone and hated its guts. Gotta love the Nexus One, Amen

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieterv:
Hi everybody,

Could somebody be so kind and upload tiwlan.ini from a 2.1 rom please?

My wifi stopped working. I used to have 1.5. To get wifi connected to ad hoc networks, I had to edit that file and push it back using the sdk. Now that I'm on 2.1, I had to do the same. But instead of pulling the files, editing, and pushing them back, I just pushed the tiwlan.ini file I still had on my computer for 1.5. Hmmmmm laziness gets punished in my case :)

I could flash again, but I'd rather avoid that.

ps: I have VillainRom 7.3.2 if that matters

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Can't you just grab the file from the ROM zip? Or is it only generated when running?

Also, are you aware that VR7 (aka VR10 iirc) is not the latest? VillainROM 12 might be of interest to you.

I'm on FroydVillain so can't get that file right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieterv:
ok got it. Thanks. The file is indeed inside the rom zip.

Anyway I upgraded, so wifi is working again thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rand0m:
Hi there,

I just got my galaxy yesterday, I've read through the FAQs and searched the web but couldnt figure out how to flash the Galaxy without losing the installed apps. I read that the internal SD isnt touched but when I checked the JP3 build my device lost all installed apps.

So in case I want to revert back to another or try another firmware, what switch would I need to set not reconfiguring everything from scratch? If this isnt possible are there any other ways to quickly restore all apps I've installed?

Regs

r4n

edit: as samsung-firmwares seems to be down, does anyone have a UK O2 stock firmware image available?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tulips:
Use Rom manager, from there you can backup/reflash and keep the data
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Titanium backup. this app needs root but save every app. Normal apps protected apps and system apps
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wliu88:
Titanium backup is a nice app.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwirf:
Hi all,

It's possible to make one symbolik link of the /data/data/ content to one partition of my sdcard (same of app,dalvik cache,ect) without make my phone unstable ?

In my head, i think it's very unstable if devs don't use it....

Can you tell me some informations about this ?

Thanks,

You can change the theme back to the new one in the bottom left.

Hi,

Why did you that xda was all messed up?

Whats the problem?Anything

I could help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
WIP! help would be great.. netarchy..? :D

I take no credit for this, I just zipped and signed the kernel from ava's previous sense+froyo rom.

anyways... I don't have much else to say. I did this just to see if it would work and it did so I thought I should share :rolleyes:

Rear camera is stuck at 3mp, wifi and 4g are down. I am not great with kernels so I will not be able to fix them, this is where I need help.

EDIT: ok so my approach failed. wifi and 4g are still down. I will see what I can do on this but feel free to fix it yourself since I am not the most skilled person with this stuff

Update: ok, so I added nets drivers but it didn't magically make wifi work. he did work on the source and I have never really tweaked kernel sources before. atm wifi and 4g are down which sucks sooo I suggest going to netarchy's kernel. I might take on all this kernel stuff at some point in the near future but I have school work and work that I have to do and I feel like right now I should get that stuff done before diving into a whole new project. I'll leave this up but I see no point in using my hacked together kernel when you have netarchy's :D now I know all the other devs have the time for this but I procrastinated on summer reading for high school (yeah, I am 16) and I just got immersed in 3 new languages for work. my brain is pretty fried. anyways, enough with this long ramble, and happy evo'ing :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
Gonna try it now! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
Gonna try too, crossing fingers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cerbera8:
tried using amon ra to flash it and it doesn't work.

would use clockwork, but I don't use it because of personal preference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gohan5052:
Nice! been wondering how long this would take. Will try it when I get home. thx for posting
[EVO 4G Android Development] setite:
fps fix for epson and/or novatec?
[EVO 4G Android Development] twigums:
Thanks! Once i get confirmation that this works looks like i will finally make the move over to 2.2. Been waiting for a kernel to come out before i did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cerbera8:
I say upgrade to 2.2 because it moves pretty damn fast! I say faster than any other kernel and rom for 1.47 base.

Recording in 720p is super smooth and video performance is very snappy. Don't worry about the "numbers" as it performs very well.

Of course, once the RUU is available, performance will improve.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twigums:
Yea i was just waiting because i wanted to see if the "final final" release of 2.2 was any different but with as much work has been put into the release we do have i dont think i can resist.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlin:
If it is from Ava's ROM it should work for both screens.

EVO on Tapatalk
[EVO 4G Android Development] cerbera8:
yeah I thought about that too, but I flash ROMs so often that I have to reinstall and sync everything all the time. Just do it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrono:
any chance of getting this to work with CM6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
I would use cm6 snap for that
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
CM6 already has this stuff built in. You can OC, FPS is in the 50 fps range, and cameras work fine. The only things not working are HDMI, and 4g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
Thanks

Works ok, except the rear camera is only 3Mpix
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
god damnit! haha i didn't check that.. well its between oc, no touch lag and high fps or 8mp camera... idk your choice. I will stick with this cuz I cannot stand touch lag
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Very nice work so far.

Now.

Paging Netarchy?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
YES! we need him...

LOL Thanks for your hard work buddy. We really appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] novanosis85:
Is this true?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Will this work on av3o1.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
I don't know what ver. that is but this is the kernel he had on his pre official release. I may be wrong but I think cyanogen cooked it up for him
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Its his newest ver. Based off the new ota 2.2 update

Edit: my bad i think im talkin about a diff. one from a diff. dev
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrl4214:
I flashed your ROM and it booted up and came to the lock screen. Then after unlocking it shows HTC and then 5 android proccess crash, No idea how to fix or restore back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
just reflash ava froyo or his stock kernel. all your data will still be there it will just replace your boot partition
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrl4214:
I may be flashing this wrong, do I enter recovery and apply the .zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Yea, recovery, choose zip, install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
I had the same issue with the 3.7.3c froyo kernel. After I flashed and rebooted, as soon as I unlocked the phone it would crash everything constantly. Acore, MMS, keyboard, etc. I couldn't use the phone because every 2 seconds acore or something else crashed.

kinda makes me hesitant to try this one.. but I do miss OC and Fps fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmelchert:
Theres no harm in trying. Its just a kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrl4214:
Yeah no luck reflashing with cloakwork.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
As for WiFi and 4g working, did you copy the new drivers ovrr? Whenever you compile a new kernel it will compile a new driver for each of those. you must copy these new drivers to your phone to make then work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
No wifi for me, where can i get these drivers?
