[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JustinLoe:
I have a request..

The stock SMS thread color theme (yellow,blue) is a bit ugly to me. I would LOVE to see a change from Yellow to GREEN. Possibly a bit darker Blue as well.

Blue/Green SMS theme, PLEASE???!

PS. Also would like to see the blue theme on the notification more stock(sense) looking.

(gray on black)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] BigWorldJust:
Can someone provide the stock icons, so that I can reflash them with Metamorph, lol?

Been running speed tests around Austin/san Marcos/san Antonio and noticed that 4g only reaches 2.5 megs, whereas in those areas was able to reach anywhere from 5 to 8 meg speeds.

From what I see the test fluttered at 2.5 which is one of the symptoms of a cap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaWhip:
I live between Austin and San Marcos on 183 and I have gotten up to around 5.5mbps on 4g a couple times. It is always faster at work (near the airport) than at home. Home is usually around 2.5mbps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Not capped
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaWhip:
double post
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zackhow:
That is what I usually get as well, but just today I was in all 3 cities and got capped at 2.5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
I have got up to 12mbps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kornsaq:
It all depends on the server location you run the speed test on. I live in TN, and for some reason when I do a speedtest to Clarvsville, TN I only get around 3mb a sec.

Now, if I set it to test on a server in witchita KS, I get 7-8mbps.

So, try different server locations. I use the speedtest.net app since it seems to actually work correctly now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] om4:
first if anybody is going off the results of the speedtest.net app, dont put too much trust in those results, that app isnt very accurate, go to the actual site from the phone...anyways i noticed the same symptoms (capping) but im thinking that sprint is throttling the speeds in certain markets to help off-load the strain which alot of providers do, nothing new, whats disappointing is that what ever they are doing to regulate their speeds seems to affect the coverage, some days i get 1 bar 2Mbps some days i get 2bars 500kpbs and somedays i get 3 bars 1.5Mbps and my area is SATURATED in 4g coverage
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supdawg:
Ive ran speed test 50 times in Nashville, and I've only seen 3 mb (even with full bars). Of course, Nashville isnt official yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 146aj:
After the 2.2 update I went from average 2-3mbps to 6-7 mbps. I live in San Marcos by the way, so I would think in SA or Austin the speeds would just be a bit faster. My 3g speeds also increased after the update but those have been piss poor since I've had a treo 700wx....

And hello xda, been lurking around since I've had a mogul. Thanks to all those who have contributed to this wonderful place of knowledge.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
I'm currently using Jackos SmartMove Rom with sense 2.1, and I'm really happy with it. However, ive recently come across a few problems regarding the phone lock.

Basically i've been looking to find a custom lockscreen app which is similar to the default wm6.5 one but doesn't destroy the mem usage in gwes.exe. I mean, I'd be perfectly happy to use the default one if it didn't cause such a memory leak. I've tried s2u2 which, despite its high mem usage, seems to do the trick. But now I have began to notice that it gives me the screen of death almost everytime my phone goes to sleep (probably because I'm also using the overclock app, which i'm not willing to stop:P)

Now I would have been happy enough (albeit somewhat disappointed) in having to resort back to the wm6.1 lockscreen, but ive noticed now that while it is locked and I receive an incoming call, it doesn't automatically unlock or show me whos calling which seems somewhat strange and has caused me to miss important calls. (tried a hard reset and still the same - maybe its my rom? As this seems like a crazy crazy thing for microsoft to have implemented on their own accord.

I've also tried other lockscreen apps like throttlelock, but I'd really really like the app to overide the deafult lock (like s2u2 did) so I can click on start and select lock to get to it.

So basically what I'm asking is if anyone knows of any decent lock apps that are capable of this?

Is there a way to sort out the issue with incoming calls when using the wm6.1 lockscreen?

Or is there a way to sort out the memory leak with the default wm6.5 lockscreen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm sick of tweaking my phone and have now (almost) got it to exactly what I want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WrEcK3:
im currently using Mr.X Rom with co0kie Hometab Editor 1.8.5, using the HD mini lock that it includes and i have not had a problem with the memory usage or SOD with the overclocking app.

give it a try and see how u like it..

im receving a unable to save to sd card error message when I launch my camera. Further more I now nolonger have any of the pictures that I once had on my sd card, ever since the update.

How can I fix this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
That's odd. I am pretty sure that it doesn't even need to touch the SD card. Anyways, try flashing the HTC Kernel and see if it fixes your problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfunk:
Where did you get the "now now camera?"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfticivic:
I dont know know where I got the now now camera ha. Swype gets the best of me sometimes. I dont know what it could be cause im running the official kernal and rom....just rooted. The sd card is formatted fat32 so there shouldnt even be any permissions. Could froyo done something screwy with my sd card for app install to sd ? Im just kinda upset that I lost all my pictures and videos
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
this may sound stupid but did yuo go to the sdcard and look to see if they were ont he card? it is possible thety arent showing in galelry but are infact ont he card. It would be extremly weird for it to delete all your photos and videos (and only yuor photos and videos)

i believe they are normally stored in the DCIM folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfticivic:
Yeah the files typically are. Now that folder is completly empty according to my mac, my winbox, and astro pro. Im not to concerned about loosing the pictures but rather want to fix the issue with the sd catd so I can take pictures

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I think it would be really cool to have an app that could look in the system and pull the version and the name of the build from the phone so we could see which ROMs were being used the most and when a new version showed up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
Just add a ROM tracking feature to ROM Manager and you'll have what you're looking for. Suggest it to Koush.
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
When I'm at work I get a crap signal. Like one bar and I drop calls like crazy. The Verizon PRL hack thing helps a LOT! I get like 5 bars and no drops. Problem is, it's a pain in the ass to switch back and forth. I want to be on Sprint when I can and only use Verizon when I absolutely have to.

An app, a kernel something that allows an easy toggle between the two to force roaming would KICK serious butt.

Is this possible, I would be willing to pay for such an app. I think a lot of others would too.

If someone can make this happen, I got $10 on it. Anyone else?
[EVO 4G General] mawst95:
Id pay for a full auto app
[EVO 4G General] n3x1s:
An app like this would be nice. I'd pay! I'd finally get service at my house!!! (Maybe, my AT&T work phone doesnt get signal at my house either . . . :( )
[EVO 4G General] faster3200:
Like this? Cyanogen also has it in the settings, although it is called something else.
[EVO 4G General] joey3002:
where is this in cyan's rom?

thanks
[EVO 4G General] cosine83:
Unfortunately, the thread you linked is for a modified Phone.apk for the Hero's Fresh ROM. Not too many people are keen on modifying their Phone.apk or would even know where to begin. I'd love one for stock 2.2.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
PM MrGreg and ask him to do the same for your phone.apk
[EVO 4G General] tbee2k9:
Would be cool if they can make a apk for the evo. My area suck far as connection.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
me too i got a 10 spot for anyone who can make a toggle.

i jump back and forth from roam to 1 or no bars.

but if i walk outside i get full 3G bars but data speeds are only like 50kb/sec

if i am inside roaming i get about 125kb/sec

this is the way it is (outside 50kb/sec) for about a mile radius around my work.

if i could force roaming in that area for data that would be cool. just turn it off when i am outside the area
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
Give me $10 and I'll post the apk then..... :D
[EVO 4G General] cosine83:
I got $10 burning a hole in my pocket and I loved your work with the Moment.

There you go, $10 in your PayPal account from me, Justin.
[EVO 4G General] iamshaked:
this app would be great.

wheres it at?
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
Hey I was joking but thanks, so here's the edited Phone.apk that allows the Roaming only option.

Thanks should go to MrGreg for the mod

Flash through recovery

EDIT: Pulled to fix FC's
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
back up nand and flash zip from sdcard via CW Recovery ?

i would also just make a copy of the phone.apk on the phone with root explorer so if it tanks and i can get back in the phone, just delete the modded one and rename the original phone.apk back to normal.
[EVO 4G General] bigrushdog:
I apologize if this is out of context. Wouldn't the recent PRL hack work for this purpose.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737594&page=7
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
Yes, just flash from a recovery console and yes on the other part 2
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Does that work on 2.1 too? I'm still on 2.1, I tried 2.2, too much crap didn't work right so I bounced back to 2.1

Guess I can Nandroid and find out! :D
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
In a sense it is but I find it easier to just change a settings than flash a prl file everytime
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
No it won't work on 2.1 but I guess I could do a 2.1 version later
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Hell yeah.. I was sick of trying to flash back and forth. Hope this works on 2.1...
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Yes please, so many of us are still on 2.1...

I tried CM6, I tried Fresh 3.1.0.1, I tried some Damage Control rom, I keep ending up back on Fresh 1.0.1 because EVERYTHING works flawless there.

Decided to hold out for HTC to release source on FroYo and the kernels so things can be fully worked out before I jump on FroYo again.

I will gladly pitch you a few bucks via Paypal for your time, just pm me your paypal addy.
[EVO 4G General] ibsscott:
Please post the original Froyo 2.2 phone.apk. Flashing your file causes FC whenever I dial a number. I can no longer make calls.
[EVO 4G General] johncjenc:
Same thing happened to me. I didn't replace the original dialer however, and a reboot solved it. It tried real hard to frak my phone though.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
jeez.. i dont even get to do anything. the minute my phone boots i get com.phone.apk Force close

i cant even use the tool "network" to see what the phone is set to.

cant go into anything phone related without it crashing.

what did that file do... its obviously not meant for stock rooted deodexed 2.2

thank god i made a backup of my original Phone.apk.

cripes i am also getting process com.android.phone has stopped - force close.

christ its still happening even after i went back to the original and rebooted.

I cant do anything on my phone without getting various DIFFERENT FC's
[EVO 4G General] bigrushdog:
I see. Heck ya I would love to switch PRL's on the fly without reboot....
[EVO 4G General] Andrell:
Access

This may be way too much of an in-depth request, but is there any way to make this setting accessible to toggle from the dialer?

And on a separate but related note, is there a way to change the ringer screen from a 'push to answer' button to a 'slide to answer'?
[EVO 4G General] ibsscott:
Of course I was too trusting to backup my original phone.apk and I've made many changes since my last nand backup. I really could use that file since my phone is useless right now.
[EVO 4G General] villalva_evo4g:
phone dialer force closes

so, i flashed the .zip and i did get the option to for roaming only, but i also had my phone dialer force closing... I see you guys are talking something about a phone.apk and renaming it or something along those lines. what exactly do you guys want to do with the phone.apk it would be great if someone could explain.

At first i erased the phone.apk which messed up my whole phone but luckily i did nandroid backup before a flashed the .zip file
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
yup same here, not sure what happened, even though i did back up my original phone.apk, the phone is still fuxxored, i tried reinstalling the original Phone.apk by installing it, and it wont let me.

now the entire phone aspect of the phone is dead. data or calls, nothing works.

i cant even get information about the phone to find out whats happening.

everything phone related just force closes.

I am also getting a message that i need to set my Time Zone.

a little icon in the status bar that looks like a guitar pick.

i choose Central time but each reboot its the same.

now why the f*** did that file completely f*** my phone.

aside form restoring NAND can i just wipe one of the caches?
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
It did work fine earlier but now I'm starting to see some FC's dialing, so I pulled it till I fix it. But here's the stock one for the time being
[EVO 4G General] ibsscott:
Thanks for the quick response and I appreciate all the hard work you do!
[EVO 4G General] cosine83:
Works great from a stock ROM. I'm using netarchy's Burnt Droid. No force closes using the dialer or anything.

What ROMs are you guys using that are having problems with it?
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
that doesnt do anything calkulin..

that apk completely ****ed my phone and now im peeved.

i too have had an extended period of good luck and its been a while since i nand backed up, i was so excited about this hack that i forgot to backup.

if i have to restore i do, no big deal truly, but its really screwed up alot of stuff.

right now i can not even connect to anyone or anything, my bars are zero with an X on it
[EVO 4G General] iamshaked:
Ouch, gotta love nandroid. Lol

Still waiting for this app, please keep at it.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
After restoring i tried it again

I forgot i just did a backup yesterday

Its working now.

Only thing that changed was a custom theme i installed, thus the backup yesterday.

Just a fluke,,, no too many people with issues.

Custom theme is the cause? I dont believe so but could a theme cause such a thing?
[EVO 4G General] Just_s:
If you haven't tried Calkulin's EViO 1.0.2 Froyo, you are missing out. I have run every available rom since launch day including Magnus' crazy colored/themed roms, all the OTA's, you name it. I stuck with BakedSnack for quite awhile and even updated to Pastry, while I held out for Cyanogen's 2.2. :eek:

But then I flashed EViO and I am sold. Bar none the best rom available, 2.2 or otherwise! Everything works (with a little tweaking for the EPST, 8mp camera and some SetCPU magic.) Fast, reliable, best Froyo battery I have encountered and stunning with some light theming. Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.:D
[EVO 4G General] ibsscott:
I installed EPST 2.1 earlier today for the prl fix. Could that be contributing to the problem?
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Well hey other then the fact it forces closed, it does what it's supposed to do lol.

I just watched my phone go to roaming and it added 3 bars. Too bad I cant use my dialer! :D

I'll buy you beer if you fix this.
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
On a side note, the app itself does work, does switch you over to forced roaming.

I did my Nandroid restore back to 2.2 just to test it out and i could set roaming only. I forgot to set it back to automatic before nandroid'ing back to 2.1 though so when I booted Fresh Rom 1.0.1, I was STILL set to forced roaming and it worked with no FC's however as expected my only options were Sprint and Automatic after that.

Once I clicked "Automatic" it went back to the Sprint network. The issue must be totally in the dial apk then, if you can work that out, I got beer money for you.

I'd personally prefer to see it for 2.1 myself but both would be nice! :)
[EVO 4G General] cosine83:
About you people dialing, do you not save contacts?
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
o man this would f'ing huge beer money incoming
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
it has nothing to do with the dialer dude, it's 100% about anything data or phone CALL (voice) related.

it doesnt matter what you do..... given your analogy how do you explain that it force closes the minute the phone boots to Rosie? or LaunchPro...

it has nothing to do with dialing, thats just where they saw it.

mine happened when i did a n y thing data or voice related, it would force close.

it's interesting bug and one i would enjoy seeing Caulkin fix. for other peoples sake.

***oops i forgot to ask***

what do you gents/ladies get for roaming speeds.

here we are locked (as far as i know) to 128/128

and its a really slow 128 too, the latancy is horrible.

i do believe we are given a very low priority within the Verizon radios we roam on.
[EVO 4G General] rkirmeier:
Is force roaming the same as changing the PRL? I remember the CM ROM had the option in the dialer to force roam but after reading the PRL thread I didn't think it was the same thing...
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
I don't have alot of time to finish this tonight, so I'll have to work on this tomorrow
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Fully understand, real life and all. :)

No rush, thanks for looking into it though!
[EVO 4G General] Lyvewire:
I updated to 2.2 Sprint released froyo, and everywhere I've turned I keep hearing I'm screwed if I was never rooted prior to update. Is that the case with this method as well? I'm willing to pay $10 to get a roaming hack or better yet if anyone knows how to get my phone back to 2.1 so I CAN root it. technofiles hack along with a PRL I found elsewhere had the triangle on my phone like I wanted. Now its gone of course since ##775# is disabled now..

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
There is no root for 2.2 yet. Your stuck waiting until it's hacked. Although, with 3.0 possibly coming out in October, the effort might not be worth it if FroYo really is short lived.

As far as going back, HTC/Sprint are currently the only ones with the tools to "roll back" phones to 1.47...
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
Cyanogen has this built in his roms
[EVO 4G General] jt513:
I have 25 bucks on this if anyone can pull off an easy to install apk that will give me a widget to turn "forced roaming" on and off.
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
Well, I got the mod working on 2.1 fine now, still working on 2.2 tho, so hopefully I'll have something later
[EVO 4G General] Lyvewire:
Do you mean the Sprint Store has the software to roll my phone back to 2.1??
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
you should check out his ROM then, i was getting 45's in linpack before the update today
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Got a link bro?! :D

To the 2.1 that is.
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
to mods - please move this back to dev!!! doesn't belong in Q&A just change the original subject line or something
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Yeah I didnt understand why it was moved either. The Dev section seemed very relevant.

Anyhoo, Calkulin!!!! Hook it up! Dying for this for my 2.1 phone. Will bribe with beer! :D
[EVO 4G General] egzthunder1:
I'll meet you half way. I will move it to General as it is a request for app. It isn't rom development and it isn't a question either.
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
Ok, well here's the 2.1 version for now. 2.2 still giving FC's and I'm running out of ideas, so if anyone else wants to help, feel free to try to get it working

Do a backup of your current Phone.apk before flashing!!!

Flash through recovery
[EVO 4G General] TheDave1022:
I too would like to have just a simple widget to turn on and off roaming
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
Well, I've been using the 2.1 version since yesterday and it works very good!

I'll toss you a few bucks when I get home from work today. Any word on the 2.2 version? Wouldn't mind trying out some of the other 2.2 roms now that kernel source is out. This forced roaming app makes me want to stay on 2.1 though lol :p

And before someone else says it, yes I know CM6 has this. Thats where I got the idea to ask from. I just prefer Flipz roms.
[EVO 4G General] Crotchety:
Do you have to change any settings in the phone or enter anything manully with this app or does it take care of all that when you flash it?
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
Dumb question time but would one have to be rooted to use this?
[EVO 4G General] n3x1s:
I havent tried this version from Calk, but, in the original I looked at, you had to go to Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Roaming. This is where you will select 'Roam Only', 'Sprint Only', or 'Automatic'.

I'll be flashing back to Fresh 1.0.1 tonight and trying this out. I'm about done with Froyo anyways.... Its just the little annoyances that are driving me nuts. Nothing is really 'broke', things just dont *quite* work like they did in 2.1. :(

*EDIT*: Flashed back to Fresh 1.0.1 using Netarchy kernel 3.7.3c, made a backup of my Phone.apk, and then flashed this from RA recovery. It seems to be working as it should. I'm now roaming all the time with 3-5 bars of service compared to 0-1 bar with it set to 'Automatic'. Damn Sprint and their coverage holes . . . Oh well. I'm sure the data speed will suck since us Sprint customers will only get 1X speeds while roaming on Verizon towers, but I use WiFi when I'm home anyway, so it doesnt really bother me. And this is really the only place I have a serious issue with lack of service.

Great job guys!! I'll test the 2.2 compatible version when someone releases one. Now onto trying to hack an HTC Sense On/Off widget to toggle this setting! (I doubt I can do it . . . maybe someone else can??)
[EVO 4G General] Smac7:

[EVO 4G General] DaWhip:
