That's a great idea as I have no idea on which one to use.

Can't wait to see your video.
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
I like this idea...
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
Dash from SPJ does a lot of ROM reviews for the EVO as well as the HTC Touch I think.

http://www.youtube.com/user/iamdasht19
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
um... all the ROMs do basically the same and almost all of them are on the stock rosie. You can see what's different in each ROM just by reading the ROMs initial thread.

this would be a waste of time
[EVO 4G General] adeyo:
That would be awesome! I like the idea
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
CyanogenMod to show everyone how much it destroys the others!
[EVO 4G General] signals:
I disagree. I'm new to the evo, and to android in general. The custom rom threads frequently seem to assume you are already familiar with the rom. I've seen a lot of changelogs, that explain what is new since the last version, but that doesn't help if I've never run the previous version.

I'm currently running fresh, mostly because I had no idea which one to pick. It's been working great, so I'm in no hurry to switch, but I am wondering what I might be missing with another rom.

I think this is a great idea. With the recent news about record android sales, there will be a lot of folks coming to the evo without previous android experience. This series of videos will help them a lot.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Then I'll get started today! First on the block will be stock, Fresh 3, and CM6.

Infamousjax, you don't have to watch them. :)
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Me neither....good newbie thread tho
[EVO 4G General] spoolin347:
Good idea, as a newbie ill definitely watch. Is bugless beast going to to be featured?
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
If you request it, I'll flash it.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
That ROM hasn't been updated in forever (There isn't even a 2.2 port or anything).

[Captivate General] alphadog00:
has anyone been able to extract the best nuggets from all the different phone builds?

the i9000 has the process widget and some different home screens; There are also the samsung apps themselves - one is a telenav type app that dims the screen between instruction.

I am sure Vibrant has some stuff captivate doesn't too.

Is it possible to pull these apps out and share between the different phones?
[Captivate General] bedwa:
As one that has a N1 (Nexus One) with live wallpapers from the Galaxy S series, Apps from the Droid X and other tidbits from other phones (and having ran a cooked Desire/sense rom with these) I'm pretty sure that more than a few are available in app form. I would look around in the N1 themes and Apps section for a few apps, but the rest may be coding and a need to make a custom rom. I'm hanging around this area due to a friend having a Captivate. I'm sure we'll get there. :)
[Captivate General] Fortune090:
If you can find a system dump of each phone, all the apps are in system/app/. I know there's a Captivate one in this forum, and I'm sure there's at least one in each of the other forums. Shouldn't be too hard to grab... Just need to sideload em all on the Captivate.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I am new to android;

So is this just a big tar file? Are the apps listed as apk that can just be pulled out? If you know of any links to help newbie android hacker that would be awesome.

Thanks for the hint!

EDIT: actually just looked, there are some big binaries in the TAR file, so there must be some tool needed to extract things out of it.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Can someone please explain to me how to extract the .APK for the system apps? Im sure im just missing something. If I can get them out it would be useful for the ROM devs who need the good samsung apps like its camera, swipe, etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] h.boushi1987:
i wanna ask you is it normal while scroling between sceens i see very fast shadows from icons my question is is it because the limittation of the firmware or its just my phone??
[EVO 4G General] ddavtian:
Hi all.

Today I noticed that in last 2 days I had lost around 300 photos from the SD card. I had around 600 photos on Thursday, more than half are gone (randomly, couldn't see a pattern for leftover photos). On Friday I upgraded the phone to .6 from .3, it wiped out the phone but was not supposed to delete anything from SD card. My music and video files seem to be not affected, ebooks are also untouched. SD card itself seems to be working fine, no corrupted files, no unusual files/folders on it. I don't think it was the upgrade but have no idea what could have happened. Before the upgrade I had to install HTC sync, to get the driver. Does it do something by default? Does it sync/remove any files?

We just came back from vacation. Most of the pictures were taken on my camera, but I had good amount of shots on the phone. It's my fault for not coping everything before the update but I wanted to know if you had seen anything like that.

My only hope is to check the work computer that I used for upgrade, but I don't think sync would move files without any notice.
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
This may not be what happened to you but i did have a friend that did the upgrade OTA, there wasnt enough space on his SD card for the OTA file, plus i guess it also needs extra space to swap files. Therefore, in his situation files on the sd were randomly overwritten. Anyway this im getting 3rd party from him so it might not apply to you but thought id toss it out there.

Evo Sent
[EVO 4G General] vinscuzzy:
Did the pics get moved to LOST.DIR? Sometimes when you plug your phone into a computer and don't eject or unmount the card, some files get corrupted and moved there. It sucks cuz it removes the extension, and changes the file name to a number, but sometimes you can just add the jpg extensions and save the pics. It's worth a try.
[EVO 4G General] timdsmith72:
Yep. Same thing happened to me. I wasn't doing any kind of upgrade or anything. Still had 4+ Gigs free on my SDcard. Opened up the gallery and it only had 10 pictures in it. 90something pics just gone. I checked LOST.DIR and there is one big file in there around 140MB. Can't find a way to extract it.

Luckily, I had a backup on my laptop that was only a couple of days old so I got most of my pics back, but still annoying.
[EVO 4G General] ddavtian:
LOST.DIR has one small file.

I didn't think about not enough space on SD. I had around 300Mb when started the update, I didn't have to copy anything to the card, it was ran from the computer.

My lesson (again and again): there is not enough backup.

Thanks for replies!
[Captivate General] jedens:
okay so i rooted my captivate installed titanium backup and deleted a bunch of the bloatware but somewhere in the process i deleted a file that goes along with the market i can still use the market however when i try to download and install apps it gives me an error message and they just constantly say downloading i tried using odin and have tried factory resetting the phone and nothing is working can anyone help me fix my phone?
[Captivate General] designgears:

[Captivate General] J4CC3B:
Mod, move to general please
[Captivate General] jedens:
i messed with odin for like 3 hours and it didnt do me any good so i ran a program to unroot my device and i restored the factory data and that didnt help me a bit i guess i'm just going to root it again is there any way possible that i could just reinstall the market.apk file? i downloaded one but it wont let me install it on my phone something about it my phone not being allowed to do it or are there any captivate roms that are available i dont even care if they give me all the bloatware back or is the i9000 rom usable on the captivate?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Did you use the Odin one-click download to re-install the Original OS? There is no file to load - just one big 300MB Odin file.

If you can't get this done, then I doubt you will be able to put the i9000 firmware on - it requires you to use Odin and is more complicated.
[Captivate General] startngate:
How did you try to install the market.apk? Am guessing it would have to be sideloaded as I doubt it's a standard market app, and of course AT&T cripples the ability to load non-market apps natively.
[Captivate General] jedens:
yes i used the one click downloader and i follow all the directions it has on the thread but when i go through the process my phone doesnt show up and i've tried it may different ways and when it does show up nothing has worked it always goes to file analysis then after a few seconds it says fail

could you possibly tell me or show me a walk through of how you use it because i may be doing something wrong that the odin thread isn't telling me

plus do you use the .exe .rar or .zip? not that i think it would matter
[Captivate General] jedens:
i found a market.apk file searching online and put it on my sd card and tried to run it from there because thats what i used to do with my pure and .cab files so i figured i would give it a shot on the captivate
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Snowtoad23:
I'm just wondering if anyone is familiar with some artistic style apps, for example ones like Ethereal Dialpad.

In a sense that they're not your typical 'app' or game, but theyre just really cool, fun and have replay value.

And for anyone who is familiar with the demoscene (e.g. pouet.net), are there any demo-like apps for android?

I think there is amazing potential for an Android demoscene, people could create some truly stunning audiovisual presentations and having them on a portable media like that makes it so much cooler, being able to show friends etc. Also as shown by Ethereal Dialpad, really cool effects are possible by utilizing the touch input.

Any suggestions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Snowtoad23:
Also just saw this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425216 this is what I'm after. How its based off a demo app of WM. I can't use LWP, so anyone know of similar demo apps etc for Android?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaWolf:
I have found two actual demoscene productions for android... Do you know of more?

Yellow Rose of Texas

Para 'N' droiD

(Can't post links as I'm a new user... But just look them up on AppBrain.)

There are all sorts of tech demos on the app market (google for: appbrain "tech demo") but I don't find most them that impressive really... I hope we get more creative apps in the future!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Snowtoad23:
Awesome man that's exactly what I'm after! If you find anything else like that let me know.

have a look here

hxxp://www.pouet.net /prodlist.php?platform[]=Mobile%20Phone

replace hxxp with http and remove space after .net

lots of them are .zip so you'd have to download them to see if they're apk

the category is just mobile phone not specifically android

hopefully there will be more coming :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaWolf:
Good point - I had not spotted the mobile phone category before. Only found a single additional android app though and it was a tool instead of a demo (Morning Routine - havchr .net /mr/).

I really like all kinds of creative music apps. My all-time favorite is AXE on Nintendo DS (see youtube. com/watch?v=1ewMNgiTQ30 ). It's really simple concept (you play staccato notes using stylus to a predefined backbeat), easy to pick up but very hard to let go... :) I have searched the app market for interesting musical apps and found these so far:

PP-Electone (a basic piano app with 128 different instruments)

SpaceTheremin (a simple theremin-like instrument)

MusicGrid (a step sequencer akin to Tenori-on)

Lumin (another Tenori-on lookalike)

Loopstamatic (a three channel ten second audio looper)

I'm hoping android attracts more creative minds in the future. If case Jordan Rudess is reading this, *please* port MorphWiz to Android ok?? ;)

I also love retro sounds so I was really happy to discover the Droidsound app. It plays back original music formats from C64 and Amiga using emulation engines to stay true to the sound of these classic computers. Definitely recommended for all android fans who like chip music! :)
[HD2 General] me:
Has anyone here tried alternate software keyboards with the HD2 (other than the ones that come with it)?

For instance, SPB keyboard (giant keys), Fitaly keyboard (different key layout, different kind of prediction), etc.?

Curious to hear your reviews--whether there is any point in getting any of those?

Also, is there any way to get the standard WinMo one back? (I don't mean for all the time, but occasionally it comes in handy. For instance, it has a Ctrl key, which one can use to cut and paste. Touch Ctrl then C, it copies selected text to the clipboard. Ctrl then V pastes them. Etc. I've only seen that Ctrl key on the standard winmo keybd.)
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
if you have not tried swype yet i would suggest giving it a go.

it works very well on the HD2 and makes inputing text alot easier
[HD2 General] osrix:
try Resco, ive just bought it cos i find it is more accurate and looks alot like the htc original

it has some great features and is only £6.50, theres a 10 day trial on it for testing.

ive found it to be faster to type with less errors, with the same size keys. it also has copy and paste as well as a calculator built in
[HD2 General] ap3604:
Does anyone know of a iPhone looking keyboard?

I hate, Hate, HATE the arrow keys on the HTC keyboard and the alternatives are not what I am used to.

The layout of the iPhone keyboard is absolutely perfect for me and unlike Android, I cant seem to find a keyboard replacement that has the same layout :(:(:(

Please if anyone knows of one let me know :)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
Considering most of us hate the iphone keyboard, I'm guessing that is why no one has made one. I like the arrows on the htc keyboard, about the only reason I use it.

Have you tried swype?

How about fingerkeyboard?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501434
[HD2 General] ap3604:
:(:(:(

I absolute LOVE the iPhone keyboard! I hate how my right hand has to type awkwardly due to the arrow keys taking up space on the right side of the landscape keyboard. I would much rather just have larger letter keys.

Hmmm I tried the SPB keyboard and the Rescoe keyboard so far but didn't like either one. I want something that has the EXACT same layout of the iPhone if possible.

Edit:

- tried out Fingerkeyboard 2.1 and it doesn't work since it still has the same arrow keys which I HATE and dont want on my keyboard taking up space

- tried out swype but it lags when doing regular typing and doesnt show a letter pop up above the letter you type like the iPhone does.

Anyone else know of a iPhone type keyboard?

Please help! All suggestions are welcome.

After flashing OMJ's 2.2 ROM on the first day of its release (knowing that wireless tether would not work), something has been preventing wireless tether from working in all ROMS.

I have tried everything I know (which is not much)... different combos of radios and wimaxes, several different ROMs (based off both 1.3x and 1.4x), different kernels... nothing can get it working.

I am guessing that there may be data somewhere that did not get wiped through recovery or through doing my nand restore.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
There are a couple different updates for the Wireless Tether app floating around. Versions 2.0.5 pre 4, pre 5, and pre 6. I've had success with all of them varying by rom. Can't post the links right now, but some of the rom threads have them posted in the OP. You'll probably have to try each one til you find the one that works. One of them should.

[EDIT] I think there's a pre 7 also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
wireless hotspot for 3g works fine on cm6. it's a 2.2 aosp rom. no sense. don't ask about including sense. won't happen. 4g currently doesn't work, and i'm not sure that a 4g hotspot will, because sprint's implementing a MAC confirmation with 4g hotspot (they really wanna charge you 30 bucks a month for it).

but, 3g hotspot works fine on cm6 2.2. that's my point. that's all there is, don't ask for more.

other roms have 4g functioning, so i'd assume 4g hotspot works on those, if you pay for it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DingusMcGee:
sorry that I did not make this clearer in the original post but I have indeed tried all of the different wireless apps (including pre 7) with a variety of ROMs and nothing is working.

The problem I am focusing on is that I originally had wireless tether working on fresh 1.01 (based off 1.47), I created a nand backup, flashed OMJ's 2.2 ROM, then when I restored back to the Fresh ROM my wireless tether was kaput.

None of the combinations of different version of the app, ROM, kernel, radio, and wimax (and I have probably tried 50+ unique combinations over the past week) have provided any working results.

I even went through the entire ROOT process again, and still nothing is working.

EDIT: What I'm trying to emphasize here is that once I flashed a 2.2 ROM wireless tether stopped working on ALL ROMs... even the 1.3x and 1.4x based ROMs

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaEVO:
try this maybe

Had the issue after running ava v3.

Wipe everything, data cash, dalvik. Dont flash your previous radios or wimaxs, they arent for froyo. Once everything is wiped flash your new rom. Evio 1.1 works great. When you open wifi tether, it should ask you for user permission, if it doesnt somethig is wrong with your su app.

We need more details about your issue. Otherwise all anyone can suggest is wipe everything and flash another rom and try runnig the app. Or like someone else suggested uninstall and reinstall verious versions. But the first time you run wifi tether super user should pop up, if it doesnt this is what is preventing u from running wifi tether.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DingusMcGee:
I'm sorry I did not specify exactly what was happening, but I thought that since this was a well known error for the early adopters of 2.2 people would be familiar with the nature of my problem.

When I put ANY rom on my evo (regardless of whether it's 2.1 based or 2.2) my wireless tether program does not send data. The app itself works fine (gets SU request), creates a network, it just doesn't transmit data because of the authentication Sprint worked into froyo.

My UNIQUE problem, is that this problem persists even when not using those early 2.2 roms. I have tried HUNDREDS of variations of radios/wimax/app editions/ROMs/kernels (including the latest releases) and it does not matter what I do, when I start up wireless tether it stops at .4kb and will not transmit the connection to my computer.

I have gone beyond wiping all of my data (through amon recovery), I even went back tot he 1.3x RUU and went through the whole root process AGAIN and still the problem persists.

There is something on this phone that the data wipes are not removing that is blocking this function, and I do not know how to revert it back. PLEASE HELP.
