[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyyhacylon:
I tried out CM6 today, and there are some things I absolutely LOVE about it. It's VERY responsive, more so than any other ROM I've tried. I love the launcher and the transparency to the wallpaper when you're scrolling though your apps. And I love the 3d gallery.

There are some dealbreakers for me though.... I don't like:

1- The camera app, I much prefer the HTC once.

2- The contacts list, I loved he way the stock one synced w/facebook updates and user pictures.

3- The calendar, which again synced with dates from facebook (birthdays, events, etc).

Are there apks that I can download to replace the ones in cm6 with? Or will I have to use a Sense ROM to get those?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
No. It won't happen. If you want Sense, go to Sense. Otherwise, just look for alternative apps on the Market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
short answer, no

long answer;

sense widgets only work with the sense launcher. download official facebook app to sync with cyanogenmod or syncmypix. for the calendar, use ebobirthday to grab facebook birth days then sync to gmail and in gmail under calendar on the left at the bottom click "other calendars" then add "browse interesting calendars", then more tab, then subscribe to "Contacts' birthdays and events" as for the camera, someone made progress getting it working on the n1 but have not seen anyone trying to get it working on evo. right now, it is still a bit ugly and some things do not work, but they will soon enough. when cyanogen and the rest of the team are done, you will be able to do way more with their camera than you every could with the stock on. infact you already can with a large assortment of codecs and fine tuning options. hope this helped
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
You could try LauncherPro Plus. It won't give you a camera app, but it has an ever-increasing assortment of Sense-like widgets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyyhacylon:
@DomSim: Thanks for the long answer =] I though from reading another thread that CM6 didn't link the contacts w/facebook, but you're telling me otherwise, so I will give that a try (I'm flashing CM6 again as I post). Honestly, the larger font on the contact list still bothers me, I wish it were smaller =[ And thanks for the info on getting the calendar sync, I don't think I EVER would have figured that out, hahaha!

@Noxious Ninja: Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a whirl once I'm flashed back on CM6. =]

One more thing I missed: The stock Sense clock/w weather! I love that clock =[ But I actually like the clock from CM6's lock screen better. Is there a widget for that?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr_bahal:
Hi All,

I have a Tilt 2 and today I notice that I have a black stain on back of my screen. I first thought it was due to humidity since I am in mexico right now on vacation. But after playing around I figure out that looks like a burn pixels and also my touch screen fuctionality is not working any more. its like its froozen. I have tried to reset but its not helping.

I am thinking maybe this has happen due to some pressure on the phone during the flight i am not really sure. Do you think the LCD is bad? do I need to change the LCD or is there any other way to fix this. I see these items on ebay. do i need to buy both items?

Update:

Looks like its not a dead pixel. some how the humidity has cause water to go behind the screen between the LCD and front cover. Any ideas how to get ride of it with out opening up the LCD? I tried blow dring but that has not help alot. The strange part is it goes a way after a while and touch screen starts to work but then it comes back again.

any ideas would be appriciated.

Thanks.

So, I posted earlier about looking for a Stock Android 2e recovery image, to no avail.

I have pulled the recovery from a stock build and being that I don't have an EVO, I respectfully would like to ask a couple people to test this.

The goal is, that after flashing the zip via HBOOT, that entering recovery will yield the stock HTC Recovery that came with the phone. I believe this is necessary to have to successfully install ota updates from Sprint in the future.

Of course, your S-OFF will allow you to revert back to Clockwork or Amon_Ra.

It's attached at the bottom of the post. Appreciate the feedback.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
I think it is possible to flash this recovery via fastboot. Take out the recovery.img and go into fastboot and simply use:

Hello there. Lately I've had the urge to run the awesome android os on my PC. I found a website, www.android-x86.net that has this ready for download on a live cd. I'm posting this here because I have a few questions about it.

First off, what are the chances of the Android OS becoming a desktop distro like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint?

Also, I see that some desktop distros are capatable with ARM, which my Eris has, so how would one go about porting those to a touchscreen phone? Is it possible?

I'd love to hear any insight or knowledge anyone would like to share. Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Not that I know of. Android can only booted with android.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
They was some development for this for a different android phone, but it was only to dual boot between 2 different android rom's. Even if you were able to dual boot, it would either have to be a different android rom or linux. Ios, RIMM, and Windows mobile are not open source which makes it almost impossible to install on our phone. The phones that run those Os's are able to dual boot android, because Android is open source.

I'm in the process of routing my 2.2 evo. I'm running on a macbook pro right now but i'm running windows 7 via bootcamp. At first i downloaded all my files while i was using osx and then i copied them over to my c:\ BOOTCAMP partition and set up all the files and put them where they need to be ex. c:\android\tools\xxxxxxx.zip now i plugged in my evo and went to go transfer unrevoked to the sdcard in the command prompt and its not allowing me saying failed to copy permission denied. it didn't work so i redid all the downloading the files set up another directory all while on windows and i'm getting the same error. Can any one help me out with this?

So what do I do to push these files to my evo? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
Did you try

adb push unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/unrevoked-forever.zip

I dunno if it'll make a difference, but it might. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the phone (Settings --> Applications --> Development) and that you're setting it to charge-only when you plug it in.

If that doesn't work, I think you can just hook up the Evo in USB disk mode and copy the files that way instead of doing the adb push.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jspambox:

Do anybody know how to make the Droid 2 live wallpaper work on our phones or can resize them or compress them anything
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Even if you could, would you really want to?

The Droid 2 is 1GHZ, stock Touch is 400mhz, OC to 500mhz-ish

Animated stuff usually takes up CPU usage, so your phone would probably be slow/sluggish.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
First off, I have searched this site and google and have turned up no answers.

As we all know (hopefully) the new froyo ROMs feature the CM settings which allow us to install apps on the FAT32 partition of our SD card. Much more convenient than making the ext2/3/4. However, last night I installed about 75-100(ISH) apps onto my FAT32 with my freshly flashed SuperFly Froyo ROM by HTCClay. Awesome ROM, btw. So anyway this morn i go to turn the phone on and I get a G1 spash boot loop on the screen. Dont know why. Anyway -- I wiped everything, then flashed again and all was well and still is. However, all those APPS that i installed on my FAT32 are no longer there. But when i explore the SD card the android.secure file is still on my SDCARD with ALLL the .ASEC files on there --- how do i get this installed apps back on this fresh ROM??? They're still on the SD so there must be a way to get the back to show/launch from the launcher.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
I doubt they will not. Apps2FAT write encrypted files to SD and do a loop-mount to access them. So the root explorer will not be able to re-create this mounts. Probably one of the a2sd - experts aka Firerat can write a script to restore them, but also here I doubt it will not be possible, sorry.

Apps2FAT in my opinion is a failure. Use apps2ext and you are fine. Only my 2 cent.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
Just use EStrongs File Explorer and with its App Manager use backup option on app you want to backup, it will place .apk in /sdcard/backup/apps by default. For me it's easiest way to extract apk from your phone. It don't matter if app is on FAT32, ext or in internal memory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Yes, as long as you have a running system and the FAT-aps are mounted, but he did already a wipe. So all connections and mount points are destroyed and so the sytem will see only encrypted files on SD ...

I have been looking through the source code Samsung released. I have yet to find the drivers for this chip. Can someone point me in the right direction.

There are all of these app's out there that allow you to control your computer from your phone (using VNC and others). This is all well and good....but there are no shortcuts to do anything on these apps.

You most certainly are able to do it with your phone.....but hell...it was way more complicated than it had to be.

I would LOVE to just touch a shortcut on my home screen that would send a couple of keystrokes to my computer. Or telling my computer to open a particular program from a shortcut created on my android phones Home screen. This would be amazing. I could tell my computer to run whatever task from my phone QUICKLY...without having to jump hoops through screenshots/mouseclicks/keyboard on VNC app's......

Using this, you would no longer need all these separate video/music player control apps...you could just wire hotkeys/scripts to be run to control ANYTHING. I could send a keystroke to minimize/maximize a window....pause iTunes....Give a song 3 star rating....open a particular site...
