You just hit the nail on the head on this discussion. As the XDA servers are based in the US, we are pretty much bound by any and all local laws and regulations by every government institution out there. So, in an attempt to block off potential legal problems, we have to forbid this kind of discussion because facilitating resources is just as bad.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
I'm going to throw my two cents in on activating Evo with Boost.

I have a friend that has Boost Mobile. He wanted to do Android development but didn't have an Android phone. I was going to give him my Sprint Hero since my primary phone is my Evo and the Hero, at the time, wasn't active.

After doing some research, a Sprint phone can be activated on Boost, but only if the phone was never activated with Sprint. Apparently, Sprint locks out phones from being activated through Boost (and I would also say Virgin Mobile) if they were already active on Sprint...even if they aren't being used on the Sprint network anymore.

So, according to the information I have, you would need a brand new Evo that has never been activated before.

Of course, I'm going by information I obtained. Since I have Sprint as my service provider, I've never actually tried activating a Sprint phone on Boost.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
Technically, it would work.

Not sure about policies, however. Sprint has always had a policy of not activating any phone that wasn't branded Sprint. I'm not sure if that policy applies to Boost in regards to Verizon phones.

[G1 General] oneswellfoop:
I know I might have to pull the battery....I downloaded ROM manager in the hopes that it would be an easier way than spending a couple hours upgrading to CM 6 from my older version of CM (I don't recall which version it was).

DLed CM6 via ROM Manager as well as the google apps. It asked to reboot to complete install, I chose not to wipe data, and currently it's stuck on a screen showing the date as Sept 2 2008 and with stripes of red, green, blue, and white going across the screen. Display is not changing, nor does it seem do be responding to key presses.

Advice please? Anyone else gone through this?

[EDIT]

Pulled the battery, it was stuck in a boot loop. I started walking to the T-Mobile store to get a Samsung Galaxy. After a while in the store, I heard a text message notification from my phone. The boot loop had damn near killed the battery, but it booted. Now going to try it the right way by following the Froyo update guide that I was in too much of a hurry to see earlier.

Still want a Galaxy though :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyeoka:
I'm about to just toss my evo into the wall.

I read lots of threads and tried everything I found but still no go.

I went from stock 2.2 to the new 2.2 root.

From there, made a nand backup and updated to netarchy's kernal and rom.

Everything installed fine except for trying to connect to google to sign in to assign my google account to my phone. It was a 3g issue. I turned on wifi and signed in. Same issue with market. I can pull up the main pages but can't pull up app info page. I have to use wifi instead of 3g.

I found a apn xml file on another thread that everyone said works. It looks the same as the one I backed up before I rooted.

That still didn't work.

I restored my nand and everything worked.

But being the stubborn person that I am and was determined to get it to work, I tried it again, this time I updated the radio and wiimax. Still the same issue.

I went back to my nand and now 3g doesn't work for google/market again.

It works fine for everything else. speedtest shows 1mbps download speeds.

Web browser works fine.

I d/l netarchy's 2.2 rooted stock as well as steelh's 2.2 rooted stock but still the issue with 3g.

Please someone help me before I end up destroying this phone to pieces.

Oh another issue is if I do use wifi, some programs from market shows cannot install. I know the fix is to install from explorer but I can't find the reason why that is. In otherwords, why can't it install from market anymore?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonesInn816:
I am having the same problem with market and syncing in 3g. All works in 4g. Stock 2.2 to rooted stock 2.2 a couple of days ago. Help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydeaner:
second thread of this type that has popped up, this just started happening to me today also.

Seems anything google related isn't working over 3g for me.

Wifi works fine.

Have tried several roms, updated radio to newest version (even though i'm pretty sure it was).

Tried ##768# and ##3283# reset.

Ummmmmmm.. Yeah that is about it. 3g signal stays connected and middle to high signal strength at all times. WTF is google doin here.... Glad it isn't just limited to me lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyeoka:
Sadly doesn't seem enough people having issues that there is a remedy is there?

I think one of the reasons is because the apn got messed up.

I found a xml file for it from cm6 thread but it didn't fix it.

I posted another thread requesting another one but no one replied to that one.

Another issue I found that seems to be 3g related:

So now my issue with 3g is that I can't get google to sync contacts, calander, email well, google talk times out, market can't pull open pages and now my current location city name.

Crazy ironic thing is that facebook somehow always automatically installs itself.

I keep uninstalling it and it somehow shows up again as version 1.2

A friend suggested I go back to RUU and start completely over.

I d/l 2.2 RUU and still issues with google, man wtf.

I used part 2 of the 2.2 root and still no good with google.

I guess I gonna go to bed with the battery taken out and see if that does anything when I wake up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyeoka:
So I guess it was an issue with google?

I woke up and it works fine now...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
I'm wondering if its possible to partition my sd card so that half of it can remain baked snack with everything I have set up then the other half to cm6 final then just flash the roms and kernels from the applicable side when I want to run it. So essentially I have 2 to choose from each with their own backups ext...

Possible?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImJacksAmygdala:
Kinda like a dual boot box... Is there an app for that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
I don't really want an app for it. I think that would end up slowing the system down substantially. I just want to be to choose a partition flash the rom from that partition then do a nand restore for that rom(located on same partition) and have that side of my sd card already set for that particular rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wy1d:
cool idea. for now I just nand restore when I want to switch back and forth but it takes a bit of time. If it was as quick as rebooting to another partition that would be hot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novanosis85:
That's very possible. We dualboot our pc from Windows to Linux so should not be impossible. Someone just needs to make it work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
Maybe I'll suggest it in the Dev section someone in there will have the know how to get this done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
well the rom doesnt install to the sdcard. hence the reason you can format the sdcard and still have a working phone. it installs to the phones internal memory.

your best bet is to do what is stated above. do a nandriod of the roms you want, setup how you want and a titanium backup of each to restore your settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
So I can't just partition it and have 2 different "sides" for each roms information like I can't tell Baked Snack to look at "A:" and CM6 to look at "B:"? are we sure about this? Maybe even partition the memory inside the phone to 2 different roms then choose 1 from boot loader? Think I'm going to try to post something in dev section and hope they won't get too angry at me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydeaner:
You know, i think the main reason this hasn't been discussed before is that previous phones didn't have the nand capacity to hold multiple roms that you would switch between. Even at 512mb it is pushing it depending on how many apps you are going to have installed on the phone on each rom that aren't going to be insstalled to sd.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
Well I have 270 free on the phone and I still haven't moved every app I can over to the SD cdard. I think Cyanogen is smaller then most other roms the Zip is only 70 mb compared to baked snack wich is 170, well over double. I think it would be pretty easy to have enough space. This may hinder performace if internal memory is completely maxed out though, not quite sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
Yeah thats what I doo I have Fresh 3.1.0.2 and CM6 and I just restore depending on my mood.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] loserskater:
I believe they use apktool but I could be wrong. I think once you have it broken down, it requires that all pictures be resized also... not sure what the percentage or anything is, but I think there's another tool that can batch resize images.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Most times you use apktool to disassemble the apk then change some values in xml files. Then build a new apk and copy the compiled xml files from the newly built one to the original one. Actually you would then need to sign the modifed apk but as the stuff we usally goes into /system it's trusted and used anyway.

As for resizing bitmaps I did it on the wallpapers not because it was needed but because it was a waste of space using wallpapers made for 480x800 and 320x480. It propably also runs a little faster with wallpapers that has the correct size for the device but noone has measured it asfaik.

As for the new VoiceSearch I did try QVGA adjusting it but for some reason my modified version didn't work so I dropped it. Also the only thing you need to pass the initial dialog is to start it in landscape mode. After that it works fine in QVGA asfaik.
