I just bought 2 anti-glare screen protector from Clarivue for like 10 bucks. The good thing about it is that it has a lifetime warranty and I heard their anti-glare works good. I'll update after I test them out.
[HD2 Accessories] jimbonics:
15 bucks for TWO of them. And yeah, they're nice and matte and do a great job of antiglare. They're also very easy to remove and replace.
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Oh snap. It's been a while since I bought them... PRICEY. But yes. They are good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAttitude7689:
Okay, I had to make an insurance claim on my EVO and I'm getting it tomorrow, what to do you guys think my odds are of getting a new Evo with stock 2.2 froyo already pre-loaded??!!??!

I really am hoping it still has 2.1 than I cant still root it and not have to loose root if I get stuck with stock 2.2... ugh!!!!

So what do you think what are my odds?

(A) HTC Evo Pre-load with stock 2.1?

or

(B) HTC Evo Pre-loaded with stock Froyo 2.2?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
I think by now they are coming with 2.2 unfortunately. However, always a chance.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testrunner:
Not good...

Unless the the tech who put your refurbed EVO together was lazy I am pretty positive most if not all EVO's are coming with 2.2. Of course there is the chance.

Whenever someone comes into my local Sprint Store wanting WiFi Hotspot (root) and whatever else, the manager sends em my # to root their phone. I was getting a lot of calls until the past week. I think 2.1 is drying out fast.

I rooted a ladies phone this morning. She bought the phone on launch but had thought the update process would take too long so she kept pressing cancel. Then she decided she wanted root and called me. She was just lucky I guess.

But all the calls I get lately go something like "I just got a EVO with 2.2 can you root it for me?" Its getting old.

Whoever comes up with a 2.2 root is going to get a nice fat donation from me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAttitude7689:
well my faith isnt very high lol, but I will say about a month or so a go a friend of mine got his HTC hero replaced thru Sprint care insurance that some of us pay $7 a month for, and we got the Hero with Android 1.5!! which I was a bit shocked about....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
I think you have a 50/50 chance right now. I was talking to a tech at a Sprint Repair Store and he said all of the refurb'ed EVO's he has received have 2.1, they are told to do the OTA to 2.2 before giving it to a customer.

He said all the new EVO's are coming to him with 2.2 on already.

Since you are getting it from Assurion, who really knows if you'll get a new one or a refurb'ed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAttitude7689:
ugh!!! 2.2 preinstalled
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
That sucks dude :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAttitude7689:
so is it just not physically possible yet, to downgrade to 2.1 or does sprint know of a way and there not telling us?

Theoretically, this method eliminates the need for using GParted or any Linux Ubuntu to install Neopeek android ports (or XDandroid if babijoee decides release Ext2 :)) Partition within Windows.

>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyO6DOS1leQ << Watch in 720p please

Recording program used: Camstudio

Partitioning program used: MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

Operating system: Windows 7

Partitioning tool >>http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html <<

If I did anything wrong such as partitioning as "primary" instead of "logical" please tell me...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jianC:
I have also found a program (shareware) that can open, add files, and recompress tar.gz files (especially androidinstall.tar.gz) I have tried using 7-zip, Win-Zip, and Win-Rar to do this but Winrar and Winzip will not allow me to do thos. 7-zip just gives me a memory allocation error.

Normally, you would have to install .apk files one by one which is time consuming but by adding the apk files you want to install to the directory /sdcard/npkinstall/androidinstall.tar.gz/data/apps , you can save time and it will automatically install it when you run install.exe or when you first install a neopeek android port onto your device.

The program name is "PowerArchiver"

http://www.powerarchiver.com/ <<the official website. It gives you a 30 day trial, sort of like winrar but better ;)

A video to demonstrate the process of installing neopeek builds..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArWYwjKEACo
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] neopeek:
I am going to use this video on my site if you don't mind!?!? Some users still have problems to get an EXT2 partition working! Especially windows users have this kind of problems! Anyway thank you for sharing this. Great work!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] batabe:
I could add apk into the tar.gz with total commander with installed bzip plugin.

i didnt try to install the new androidinstall, but next time i'll add some apps before installing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jianC:
I haven't tried total commander for PC with the bzip plugin but I'm sure its a better method than using PowerArchiver but it works both ways.

I also tried G-zip but it wasn't very noob friendly.

2 build on same sd card?

hi. is it possible to install both neopeek build ang xdandroid build on same sd card? i am too lazy to clear my sd card each time a new build came out. tq
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, but to my knowledge you can only run one neopeek build.

I basically have a folder called "Androids" and then I have several builds in their own folders. You just have to adjust the startup.txt in each to reflect the folder location.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jianC:
Oh and if you're having problems dual booting windows mobile and neopeek builds with GEN.Y dual boot (not dual booting 2 android builds though) follow this link..

http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/12-...EODual-Boot-Neopeeks-Android-Ports-by-Mohamad
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kazuya87:
did u mean by adding rel_path=XXXXXXXX on the startup.txt? i will give it a try to store neopeek build and xdandroid build on same sd card this way.

by the way, i already dual booting my winmo and android but i just can't resist the temptation to try latest android build by xandroid and noepeek. they both awesome
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, that is correct.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] blast0id:
can someone elaborate on this, for a andn00b?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
You add "rel_path=path/to/android" to the cmdline section... This would be if the build was 3 folders deep from the root. If you just have Android say in a folder 'andboot' off of the root of the SD, your statement would read "rel_path=andboot" - make sense?

You also realize this has absolutely nothing to do with the builds that require an ext2 partition right? It's just a way to organize multiple builds of Android, but only the "normal" builds that don't require an ext2 partition.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] necafe:
How about the 8 gigabyte sd memory?

I understand 2G sd rom format, but when I format 8G sd as you showen with my own size, android phone could not distinguish it exactly. Could you explain about the 8G sd card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] helicopter88:
From what i know on the sd card there must be 3 partition:ext2 and swap have to be always the same size (EXT2: about 350 mb and SWAP: 64 mb) and the fat32 one has to be the free space should be something like 6.5-7gb on 8 gb card,

What problem do you experience?

Added, how to change keymaps under linux
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] daeinnor:
Great! Thanks e334, updating rootfs.img in Neopeek's ROMs should now be easier with your how to guide.

Do you think it should deserve a new thread instead of using this "howto format ..." thread? If I may, would suggest something like [Howto] Update rootfs.img in Neopeek ROMs. "Older ROMs" do not apply to XDAndroid ROMs because updating those even if older is straightforward.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jianC:
Ok.. I will do that then..

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
It appears you have a rare monodie device, go here and download the latest zImage, and try again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] LENINred:
Thanks, I'll try. and can you explain to me that means monodie?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
I not an expert dev so i can tell you only to what is related. It is related to memory adressing ( memory banks ), it seems that newer TOPA100 on market since march 2010 have a different memory from the older ones ( since the official launching ) and they are adressed to monodie devices and the older ones are dualdie.

Anyway if you wanna know something more you should have a look at that thread.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] LENINred:
no. my device not shuts he just freez, not reboot.:(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
Hmm, strange problem. Whats your device, TOPAxxx?

Whats your SD card capacity and did you tried formatting your SD card with this tool ( BUT BE SURE TO BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES )?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] LENINred:
my device is topa100
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
Aha, did you tried that tool?

And there were some reports that 16gb SD card doesnt work with XDAndroid, do you have the 16gb version? Anyway if you have another SD card with 1,2,8gb try it and report back.

Hello,

Unrevoked 3.14 is now available for the Wildfire.

Grab it here and enjoy!

http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/

Please read the FAQ:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked2

And install the HBOOT drivers if you are on Windows:

http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Good luck, have fun. Please report issues here.

HTC SYNC CAUSES PROBLEMS. DON'T USE IT.

Other programs which communicate with the phone over USB cause problems as well. Disable them until after you have run Unrevoked 3.14
[Wildfire Android Development] wuliaosuiyue:
It's pity. But understand the situation. Just hope they will be fine.

And update the ROOT soon.

Anyway, Take care.

[Wildfire Android Development] droidpirat:

[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Because it involves work compiling, packaging and testing it so that it "just works". Behind the words "just works" lies a complex set of processes. Just hold tight, people have lives outside this place :)
[Wildfire Android Development] TweetyPeety:
They should take the time, better a good running root, as a ok running root with 1000 of questions afterwards.

Take you time, university is more important, and when its done, its done. I also appreciate your work and hope for a release soon.

Backup everything

Hi

I assume the unrEVOked will install a new ROM on the phone, clearing all the data stored on it. So we have to make backup from the phone before rooting it (Is it true?)

So I tried to make the full backup. The best solutions available were the:

1. The Titanium Backup. It needs the BusyBox to be installed. I tried to install BusyBox on my wildfire which was already soft-rooted using MartinEve great work, but it made errors creating a folder under /system/xbin and failed. So Titanium Backup is not a solution now (Again, Is it true?)

2. The Nandroid Backup which is also a perfect tool, but I think it will not work again with the soft-root and needs the unrEVOked root ROM to be installed. (Is it true?)

Finally I have no idea to backup all the phone except simple tools like ASTRO file manager which makes a backup of all applications, etc.

Is there any better idea?

All the best
[Wildfire Android Development] adeadrat:
No idea what the best backup way is.

But unrevoked will not release a ROM.. they are just releasing a.. ehm dont know how to put it... a something that makes it possible to flash other ROMs to your phone
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Hi,

No, the unrEVOked root will simply flash a custom recovery to your phone -- the main partition remains in-tact. That said, you might still want to do a backup using a 3rd party market app if you feel paranoid.
[Wildfire Android Development] asharifiz:
Thanks Martin.

By the way, end of week is so close, and still there are only 5 faces on the site. We are really waiting

Some noob questions

Hi

I'm new to android, I just bought my HTC wildfire.

Because of some reasons android market is not exist on android phones sold in my country (Turkey).

I want to flash this ROM to have market, but is it possible to restore back to original bootloader and HTC ROM in case of any warranty issue.

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] raskall:
One strange problem, though. I am trying to do a backup with myBackup Pro. It asks for root permission for /system/bin/sh for each file it's copying.

This is really annoying. Anyone knows if the default action after the countdown timer is Allow or Deny?

In Recovery, Power Button back to previous menu, Volume Up/Down or Trackball move select previous/next item and trackball click select item.
[Wildfire Android Development] shinelt:
big thanks, unrevoked!!

can I put any rom i want or just the puzzle rom if i rooted now ?
[Wildfire Android Development] adeadrat:
my guess is that you can only flash the puzzle one, as thats the only one made just for wildfire, but im just guessing ;P
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
How long did rooting take with you guys?

I downloaded the software, have adb access to phone.

When I launch unrevoked3 it just stays on the message "pushing recovery image".

I have waited for approx 20 min, which is way longer than it took to root my Desire.

Any idea what's wrong?

Brilldoctor: I doubt it as you probably need the OpenGL component built against the kernel.

You could always do a nandroid backup, flash it and see. If it won't boot, paste output of adb logcat so we can see what's happening.
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
Almost there, but not quite...

Thanks Adeadrat,

That did make a difference. Nevertheless, I am stuck gain.

After flashing the recovery boot and some other things, the phone reboots into recovery with the ClockworkMod Recovery ROM.

However, Unrevoked3 now says:

"Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."

I have tried 3 times and it aborts in the same place every time.

I think that having booted in ClockworkMod Recovery is already a big step, but rebooting from here, still doesn't appear to give me superuser rights.

Any suggestions?
[Wildfire Android Development] f0xy:
Have you tried unplugging the usb cable and started the whole process again?
[Wildfire Android Development] danne_jo:
or flash a rom that have root rights now then you have a recovery that can flash roms? thats hole idea ;)
