[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poolphreak:
hehe... let's see if I got this right.

You rooted your phone

After rooting your phone, you're asking what you can do with it now:confused:

marty responds and thinks it's a little strange why a person would root his phone and

then

ask what benefit it was, to do so, he also includes some benefits of rooting, then follows it up with some helpful advice on how to use the

search

to find answers here

You respond by telling him to FU with the criticism, and give him "real answers"

:confused::confused:

This world never fails to amaze me.

Common Sense 101 (you got that in your nym, but sadly, nowhere else) is you READ about what rooting is, what bad things could happen if you do it, what advantages and disadvantages there are, how dangerous it is to do so, how hard it is, the success/failure rate of it, the different methods of doing it.. You do all this READING.......

BEFORE

YOU ROOT YOUR PHONE!!!!

Would you not agree, that would be a more sensible approach?

Granted, it's too late now, but maybe you could use that approach in the future?

This is not criticism, this is a HELPFUL GUIDELINE:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
I got your back

Wow Deja vu you are me a few months ago. Well I think I will help you out a little bit.

Rooting does two things. First, it gives you su binaries and a supeuser app that let you access your phone's operating system to make small changes and use apps that could harm the phone over a long time and/or save you moneeeeey! Second, it lets you install a custom recovery. Recovery mode is a tool that lets your phone update itself and, in a total system crash, recovery itself. A cutoff recovery can make the phone think it is being updated or recovered, but is actually being totally changed.

NAND unlocking lets you make major changes to the operating system that you couldn't do otherwise by removing all security (from you, not from hackers) and letting you install asop and other stuff.

Once you get a custom recovery, you can flash (falsely update with a read only zip file) a rom. These rooms can have small or large changes depending on personal preference. You can add themes to these rooms the same way, and change kernels, as well as installing root only apps.

Remember, before you flash anything ALWAYS make a nandroid backup in recovery mode, so if your phone is totally wrecked from the inside, you can fix it. There is no other way to fix it if you mess something up.

You're welcome.

Some Information 4u

Why can't you guys just answer his F'in question, a$$holes.

ken101, some thoughts.

Try these links to get more information.

http://smarterware.org/3189/why-and-how-to-root-your-android-phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496

the procedure I followed to root my stock 2.2 EVO, basically you downgrade to 2.1, install unrevoke, upgrade to 2.2.

Here is a good one that goes through all the steps. NOTE: YOU WILL NOT FOLLOW this for your phone, but it gives you an idea of what you next steps are.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5214290

From the link above, research every step, so you learn the pros/cons. For example, why wipe my phone, do I need to, does the custom rom require it, what does wiping do.

AND remember, BACKUP FIRST, BACKUP FIRST, should I say that again.

When you rooted your phone, you installed a Recovery Mod, you should via SuperUser be able to boot into it. There is a feature called NANDROID, use it to backup your system and apps before you do anything else. You will then be able to use the same procedure to restore if you do something that breaks your phone (breaks as in the system), going forward.

Good Look Chief, sounds like you are on your way. One last, google search "best roms for Evo", see what you come up with, I think there are 6 or 7 good custom roms out there now for the EVO, make sure they are ready for 2.2, but anyway, investigate the pro/cons of each rom before going forward.

Cya..

Best roms

Honestly, cyanogen is too unstable and you lose too much. It is very widely respected, but I do prefer ava v7 froyo. It has the battery life of fresh, and some great visual and app enhancements. Choose wisely. And, I cannot say it enough, NANDROID BACKUP! ! !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
IDK how someone who actually had the patience to ROOT stock 2.2 (which looks very much like a pain in the ass to me!) is so clueless after having just completed that task? Wouldn't you have a few ideas in mind before you rooted your phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ken101:
Thanks for the nice remarks. The reason I didn't look ahead because I wanted to see if I can root it or not. Once I was able to next step was to do creative stuff with it.

I have seen in a bunch of threads where people talk about the % of their battery and how it drops from 100 to 90 right when they take it off of the charger...how do they know that? The only time I can see the battery % is when it is plugged in. What am I missing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
There are Widgets on the market to show you the percentage and some roms have it included or need to manually turn it on like cm6..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehalter:
Can you name a good one? Something that is monitoring battery power seems like it would drain the battery more?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
You could install the smoothsense theme which comes with a custom battery icon that has percentage in it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehalter:
Are there any apps that work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
Battery indicator pro, batstat widget, or if you're rooted you could flash a battery icon mod onto your stock rom like what I use in my attached file.

So I got the Extended Battery this weekend and the extended Battery Door/cover wont fit in my Best Buy Rocket dog Snap on case (sucks!). Anyone know what case will fit the droid x with the extended battery? Any snap on thin case like the one I have? Any pics? :confused:

Thanks
[Droid X Accessories] cbaty08:
You can do what I do and simply leave the back door off when you put the case on it.... The extended battery sits flush really.
[Droid X Accessories] MrDanger:
Or you can just use the standard battery door cover. It will still fit.
[Droid X Accessories] sfreemanoh:
I saw in another post that someone who used the standard cover with the extended battery said it looked like it was putting a bit of pressure onto the inside of the phone (I can't remember when or who posted this, sorry, so no link, but it was on xda I believe). So if that's true, that's probably not a good thing to do.
[Droid X Accessories] Casshern:
It does put pressure on some components if you use the stock battery cover. You can see it clearly about half way up the screen, and applying any pressure against the cover results in "pretty colors" on the screen. I tested it and quickly decided against such. I'm most concerned what would happen if further pressure would be applied to the screen or phone in pocket, and what could happen in even a minor drop. I use a clear snap on case, it stays on reliably.
[Droid X Accessories] synplex:
I'm currently using my extended battery with the original thinner back cover so I can keep my phone in my Snap on case. There wasn't much pressure and im not seeing any effects on my screen but my phone back is heating up much more then usual. I also know that battery expand when they heat up, so I'm worry about future pressure issues with my original back cover.

So I'm looking for a snap on cover that will fit the extended back cover.
[Droid X Accessories] Casshern:
I have also learned you can just take the back cover of the Droid X off, and use a thinner hard shell case without adverse effects.
[Droid X Accessories] InfamousDX:
I'm rocking it with my cheap TPU case. Fits nicely and I like the TPU for 'drop protection' over a brittle case.
[Droid X Accessories] RedBank:
Have a TPU case myself...loving it and fits perfect with extended battery and door
[Droid X Accessories] bgs_piece:
I am using the stock battery door with the extended battery and have not had any problems. I can push on the back cover with quite a bit of force and there aren't any discolorations on the screen. The cover was slightly more difficult to slide on, but once I did it the first time it now goes on perfectly without any extra pressure. I am also not noticing any extra heat from doing this. I have a battery widget that shows me the temperature and I logged the temps for a day with standard battery and then again the extended and if there was any difference it was always less than 2 degrees fahrenheit.
[Droid X Accessories] zanix:
Lucky, my standard door over my extended battery leaves a dark mark near the middle of the screen. So back to the extended door for me
[Droid X Accessories] manaox2:
After five days, I can confirm the otterbox commuter case works perfectly with the extended battery and cover.

I have the OtterBox Defender Series case and it fits great with the Motorola extended battery installed.
[Droid X Accessories] Dr.Dad:
Wow, maybe I received defective otterbox cases, but neither defender nor commuter works perfectly with my extended battery and cover.....ok, but definitely not perfect!
[Droid X Accessories] manaox2:
Yeah, I didn't notice for a good while it as its hard to tell, but the commuter does not set perfectly flush with the screen along the side with the extended cover on. That lets some dust in. :(
[Droid X Accessories] dirtyfingers:
Has anybody tried the sedio innocase surface with the extended battery cover? I am thinking about getting the extended battery and this is the case I use.
[Droid X Accessories] jgraham4598:
I have the seidio innocase surface combo and just received the extended battery. I can use my case with the extended battery door. It barely separates the middle of the case. I was able to get the stock battery door on the extended battery with no problem whatsoever. Either way I am happy with it. The extra battery life is incredible.
[Droid X Accessories] luigi90210:
from what i have seen most cases work with the extended battery
[Droid X Accessories] dirtyfingers:
The seidio innocase surface actually does not work with my phone. The middle clamps will not stay shut and it falls off very easy. I see it works for many people but just is not a good fit with mine
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Galaen:
I searched through these forums and I could not find an answer, so if I missed it, just let me know. I am curious if anybody knows how to solve this problem. I live in a small town that is on the At&t's Edge network, and I commute to a larger city with At&t's 3G/Hspda network.

Whenever the phone transitions from E to H networks, the data connection will not work. I activate Opera or do the weather update on the home screen and a message pops up saying that it cannot connect. Now, if I do a soft reset, it works perfectly. It never disconnects or gives me any problem. Also, when I return to the E signal, it switches over perfectly with absolutely no need for a reset. It started this when I installed the new Tilt2 rom from the HTC website. I have installed Net 3.5, jh2001 data speed fix, the advanced config tool, and have properly set up the required options on the config tool and under settings->connections->advanced network. If necessary, I have never changed the radio.

Has anybody else run into this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.

I personally don't like the fact you put it on a stand then plug a wire on top. I like my cradles to plug in when I set the phone on it.

Facebook 1.3.2 will import contact info from Facebook. As far as the HTC People app, you're out of luck. Most, if not all, of the Sense specific software requires the HTC framework and Ruby, CM and other AOSP-based ROMs run off of a different framework.

EDIT: The reason it works on SkyRaider Vanilla is because it's still stock HTC sense underneath and it's just had most of the surface Sense stuff removed, modded, or switched out with AOSP versions. I really wish people hadn't started using "Vanilla" to denote a "de-Sense'd" ROM. It's just confusing. Vanilla should always denote AOSP versions of Android.
