Never liked mesh case. They look weird to me
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] versp:
As nice as all those cases are I love the look of the device how it is, hence my attempt to hide the only bit of it I don't like.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hanhav:
Maybe you could just cut the jellycases back open and there is your bumber...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
Good point....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MomijiTMO:
I have a couple of cheap silicone cases on order and might try cutting one into a bumper.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] versp:
Thanks for biting the apple, I'd be most greatful if you let us know how you get on if you do choose to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hanhav:
I did that already and its not good if you cut the whole backside off. Sides come too loose in my opinion.

Maybe if you don't cut the whole back off and leave some backside to keep the case in shape and give some friction it would be ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Croak:
Starting to sound like a shill, but the Phantomskinz Chromatic "carbon fiber" appliqué that I'm using does a great job of hiding MOST of the iChrome look of the bezel. It totally covers the sides and leaves just a small ~1mm bit of chrome exposed on the top of the device, which is much more tasteful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiaOrana:
Hey all,

I had Swype working on my desire for a couple of months now. I got so addicted to it.

This morning, I flashed the new radio as well as the new LeeDroid 1.9a and when I restore my swype it told me that the trial period had ended.

It's really weird that it happens after flashing a new rom (I wiped everything).

Do you guys know if I can reset the trial period?

I tried uninstalling then re-installing the app, but it stil doesn't work.

I really need your help, I love swype!

Thanks a lot

post it

Where does it say you can't post it? I'm trying to get Swype on my Evo, seems like it would make navigating the huge screen easier..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiaOrana:
I don't remember where I saw that, but I think it's a matter of copyright.

is there another keyboard that has arrows like the one on the bottom of the stock 2.2 keyboard? i like the stock keyboard in all but its not like the multitouch droid keyboard. i wish someone could put those arrows on that keyboard
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Swype has a special editing keyboard, by swyping from the Swype key to the SYM key.

Alternatively, there's a keyboard called Full Keyboard in the market. It's not great for day-to-day typing, and doesn't have a horizontal mode, but it has all of the editing keys you could want (arrows, del, insert, etc.) as well as Ctrl+*letter* keys, making it great for SSH sessions in ConnectBot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smarcin:
I've been using the demo of Smart Keyboard, available in the Market. You tap the number key twice and it brings up a screen with arrows, a delete key, Tab and and Enter key. Then you switch back by hitting the ABC key. The skin I'm using is the iPhone skin. It has small spaces between the keys. It works for me.

I really like SwiftKey the best. It not only guesses the words you're typing, but also the next word. Works really well, but no arrows.

I also found a useful little app that allows you to have a virtual trackball, called Virtual Trackball. It's useful for moving around when you're trying to edit text. It also allows for a virtual d-pad. It's in the Market and costs .99 Euro. I think it's worth it. The developer is very responsive and is adding more features. I used to have trouble with it going away when running a lot of apps, but the new update seems to have made it persist better. If it disappears, you just hold on the home key to bring up recent apps and turn it on again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] benjio12:
This is a PC36IMG.zip that will restore both RA recovery 1.7.0.2 and the ENG hboot 0.7.6 after running an official Sprint RUU (or any other scenario that might have upgraded your recovery and hboot). I noticed RA revovery was having a lot of problems when using a non-ENG hboot.

You must have S-OFF (Via Unrevoked Forever or some other magical way noone else knows about)

To apply this, just copy it to the root of your SD card, pull the battery, and boot up while holding the volume down key. You will have to reboot once before entering recovery, or it will not work properly, even though it might seem like it is. In one instance, the bootloader flashed fine, but flashing the recovery failed. If this happens, just pull the battery and try it again. It should work.

PS- This will not root your 2.2 evo! I made this for myself so I can nand backup my CM and run the RUU to use ## codes, then flash this so I can nand restore. All I did was package these together because one flash is faster than 2, and I figured I might as well share it with the community. I will provide no support, and promise no updates.

Edit:

Wanted to add real quick: Big thanks to Toast for for providing the ENG hboot and all the dev work you put into the evo, what with the rooting hackery and CM6 and all.

Thanks to Amon_RA for the rock solid recovery!

Big thanks to the unrevoked team. Forever is a big step in the right direction for me, and although a lot of ppl on this forum may have a problem with your software, I'm still rooting for you. Looking forward to your next breakthrough!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Thank you so very much was needing this since last night.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sombdy:
Curious...does this downgrade your PRI to 1.34_003? I know everyone is probably blue in the face about PRI but I figure people will want to know.

nice work btw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] benjio12:
I don't think it would downgrade your PRI. That is part of the radio firmware, and all this does is give you the ENG hboot and recovery... Although I can't say for sure. I've been stuck on 1.34 and can't get it to upgrade anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rugedraw:
I believe I read somewhere that the 1.34 PRI comes hand-in-hand with the ENG boot. I know I had the 1.40 PRI and it went to 1.34 after I unlocked NAND. I would guess that this also reverts your PRI back to 1.34, but if someone knows anything I don't, feel free to chime in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sombdy:
That was essentially what I was thinking. To my knowledge the downgraded PRI came from flashing the engineering bootloader in Toast's method (eng-PC36IMG.ZIP). If the OP's zip file is the same engineering bootloader, then I would say that yes it will downgrade your PRI if you flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
That was only if you flashed the whole package, which was your only option with Toast's method. With Unrevoked Forever, you can flash a repackaged ENG bootloader just fine without changing the PRI.

[EVO 4G Android Development] leeoniya:
pretty sure PRI is NOT radio. Radio images are firmware updates, the PRI is the driver for the OS to use the radios. (i could be wrong)
[EVO 4G Android Development] crimeslunk:
So this has changed my recovery so I'm now able to flash to CM6? What in the end is the major difference in these recoveries? And is Nand backup the same as a nandroid back up? I guess my point is that if I used a nandroid backup can this recovery restore from it?

and if need be is there anyway to get back to the other loader?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rezidual:
As long as you have the 0.7.6 HBOOT then you can flash CM6....As for the difference in recoveries, I've read that Clockwork doesn't completely (and correctly) wipe the phone...Nand is the same as Nandroid and yes you should be able to recover your Nandroid backups with Amon_Ra
[EVO 4G Android Development] mcjx:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ombheembush:
I get rebooted to bootloader continuously after flashing the OPs package. Any ideas as to what I my have done worng?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bsnyder217:
how do you flash this using bootloader?

edit: figured it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zabalba:
Was in the same boat with this guy.

I rooted 2.2 and wanted to switch from clockwork to RA. I went ahead and patched your file and got stuck in the bootloader. While I was stuck there I went ahead and updated the RA to the latest (1.8). After a reboot I was able to get into RA recovery and flash Fresh Rom. Rebooted phone and it was back to normal booting.

Help that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onelovekir:

yeah but what if i dont want to flash a custom recovery, how to stop this, this is driving me crazy!!??

[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Thanks for your help. Can I still flash this if I already flashed the eng hboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] deathpod:
Yea, it won't hurt anything to flash the ENG over top of itself. I did exactly that this morning with benjio12's PC36IMG.zip a few posts back and everything is fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onelovekir:
first it was 1.7.0.2 but then i tried with the new 1.8.0 and it was still doing it, so i flashed back to the .93 hboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Now, this doesn't change your baseband or radios or prl/pri does it? I know this is probably a dumb question but I'm pretty new at this. Thank u very much for your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deathpod:
Correct. Your bootloader and recovery are each completely separate from the radios and your pri. The whole pri fiasco came up because the original rooting methods involved flashing an ENG bootloader that included the older pri. Now, it's possible to avoid downgrading the pri while flashing the ENG bootloader. Probably more info than what you asked for, but why not...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Do I have to take my battery out to flash this or can I just turn the phone off?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
By the way, thank u very much for helping me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deathpod:
Either download it with your pc and transfer it to the root of your sdcard via usb, or just download it on your phone directly (easier IMHO) and use something like astro to move the file from /download/ to the root of your sdcard.

Now turn off your phone (hold power, select power off) then once it's off, hold the volume down and press the power button. Keep volume down held and you'll enter the bootloader. Don't do anything and let it scan the PC36IMG.zip. Eventually it will ask if you want to update the bootloader and recovery. Press up for yes. Once it's done, press up to reboot. Done.

Once your back into Android, just move the zip file out of the root of your card. (move, delete, whatever)

Good luck and if I helped you, just be sure to pay it forward to someone else when they ask for help in the future.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
Is this the HBOOT-0.76.2000 ?

That's what I have on my phone now, but my computer doesn't recognize the phone while in fastboot. It knows it's plugged in because it makes the "device connected" sound in Windows 7.

Attached is my problem in the CMD prompt.

I flashed this PC36IMG just to make sure I had the correct bootloader, and it's still hboot-0.76.2000. Is that what it's supposed to be?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] sqeet:
I tried booting with this, but now my phone continually boots into hboot. It will not load the Phone OS. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Nevermind. Fixed it by flashing the "boot.img" located in the Amon_Ra recovery link on Part 2 of the 2.2 root method via fastboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
this doesnt work downgradiong 2.02 hboot after s-off....any idea
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tibedabeeto:
I am in the same loop as you where it keeps going to HBoot screen everytime. I am trying to flash the "flash_image" file but cant get adb to find my device. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit

So I got into recovery from an option in HBoot. I flashed the 2 files flash_image and mtd-eng.img and still go str8 into HBoot?

Edit

Guess Im stupid, I never tried to load a custom rom after doing all that and now it is working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mfenske:
This recovery mod seems a little more cumbersome than Clockwork as I had to copy the zip file (EViO 2) to the root directory to get out of the endless loop of rebooting and had to move the pc36img file to a different folder. Though it was nice to be able to access the sd card while in bootloader.

[EVO 4G Android Development] buttercupz:
I'm stuck in a boot loop.

Tried flashing CyanogenMod 6 and I get stuck at the roms bootscreen. I have no idea how to fix this, could anyone shed a bit of light on whats going on?

Edit: Rooted using unrEVOked, Flashed Cyanogenmod 6 RC2 with Clockwork Recovery because I couldnt flash Cyanogenmod 6 Stable without the .76 bootloader.

I found this thread and installed Amon_RA recovery, followed the few easy instructions on updating the recovery and boot with this PC36IMG.zip. I then got stuck at a boot loader so I reflashed CM6 RC2, then got stuck at the Roms boot screen. Amon_RA Recovery gives me "E: Couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandriod/" when I try to revert back to all my old stuff.

I think this is the correct information I should be giving.

Help :(

Edit2: I flashed Fresh Rom 3.2 and am able to access my phone finally. But this isnt the rom I want. lol

Edit3: Okay everything seems to be working again, the only thing I have a problem with is that in RomManager it says I have ClockworkMod Recovery flashed (Which I would prefer over Amon_RA since everything is working again) but everytime I boot to recovery it comes up with Amon_RA Recovery v1.8.0, I think it has to with the update to Amon_RA included in this PC36IMG.zip.

Last question. I was under the impression that I needed to use the .76 hboot eng for Cyanogenmod 6 Stable release, however, Im now using the Cyanogenmod 6 RC2 which seems just as stable. Is there going to be any problems in the future if I keep the .76 and dont go back to whatever I was like .97 or something? If yes, where can I find the .97 or whatever it was?

I am fairly new to this and appreciate your patience and understanding.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
.... Edited........

[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
There is a thread that has a hex-edited version of 2.10 that tricks the phone into thinking it's 0.76 and then you can flash the real 0.76.. I know it's in the dev section but not sure where.

I have rooted my original white EVO last year and had 0.76 bootloader and everything else possible. I now have a black EVO and have bootloader 2.02.0000 and can't seem to downgrade the bootloader.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
I surely can't be the only one having this issue. It doesn't seem to be related to any particular firmware, as its been an issue ever since I got the phone, and I've since had quite a few different FW on it. Someone I spoke to on another forum with an SGS said theirs did this as well...

Basically, I can be happily surfing away, and then randomly, a page will not load - "Web page could not be loaded" message. Refreshing does not work. At best, turning the APN off or switching to Airplane mode and then back on seems to fix it most of the time. At other times, a full restart of the phone is required.

Most of the time this will happen once or twice in the course of a day, but today it happened on several occasions and it's getting annoying. I had to switch to GSM today for several hours - though that could have been my network provider, but its strange how other Vodafone users in my office were having no issues at the same time I was having issues, even when using the same APN settings.

Any ideas? This is quite a frustrating bug at times.

stick to only WiFi or only 3G

you will get those hic ups when the phone is changing between WiFi & 3G

it goes to either side depending which one has a stronger signal

it will have preferences for WiFi over 3G

WiFi is not as stable as 3G from personal experience, so i turn off WiFi and use 3G most of the time

It's sad to say but I have to surrender in himalaya crazy party.

Firstly - My himalaya died (while charging, my brother sit on it, charging port died, as well as display)

Secondly - My second hima was lost, maybe stolen, don't know. Someday I missed it (totally drunk).

Thirdly - There is ABSOLUTELY no money gain for that, nothing like HD2 forums, or just YAHUAHAHAH(etc) donations. I did it for free, now I know it was not good.

I don't have cash to revive my hima, also I don't want to.

I also will downgrade me from Moderator state there.
