In my previous thread, I mentioned about rooting my device to remove unwanted apps. I have a few questions:

1) Is removing the apps as simple as removing the apps from /system/apps? Would that remove the icons as well?

2) I would like to backup the rom just in case. Can someone recommend what backup app to use? I read that there is a rom manager in android market which is used for cm. Can I use that to backup?

3) Is it possible to move existing apps to sd card using app2sd?

Thanks!

@tech_girl

Hey,

1) yes an no. it can be if you know what you are doing.

2) Download Titanium Backup * Root

3) I guess it would but i personally would not recommend it. Best to leave system apps in the system/app folder.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anomoly:
First of all thank you Devs as xdandroid is my full time phone OS...

I'm just curious as to which feature is now most wanted and please leave a comment as to why:

NOT WORKING IN THIS BUILD:

BT

Camera

Headphones

Speakerphone (no mic)

Opengles: using software rendering for the time being.

Battery Meter (about 75% fixed now)

ps i know that some of these have workarounds... but i mean which would you like built into the build and/or 100% working
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
You have forgotten these things

USB

3D

Backlight keyboard and the buttons above the screen

Proper calibration

Able to send and receive MMS's

and many other stuff
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Grogck:
As a CDMA user the biggest thing I'd like for the immediate future is for the 3.5mm headphone jack to work. Having to resort to the startup.txt+headphone+voicemail trick unfortunately kills all sound except for that originating from the headphones . . . including calls. I currently have to boot back into WM on my commutes so I can listen to music/podcasts. Get that working and it's Android full-time for me.

Better power management would be #2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mikeszekely:
Battery management, for me. I'm really impress with all the progress that's been made, but for me to use Android as my full-time OS on this phone, I need to be able to accurately track the battery's charge. Oh, and charge the phone... I can't tell if it's charging or not. When I plug the phone in, it says it's charging for a few seconds, then stops. I booted back to WinMo and the battery was around 70%, so I don't think it's charging.

So, yeah... resolve the battery issues, and I'll retire WinMo. USB, BT... all that's just icing on the cake.

Donating?

Why not set up a feature bounty?

I really love my Rhodium and I rather I keep then go for another android phone.

So I suggest we set up and track a bounty list where you vote with your wallet :)

There's been 40 voters to date. If everyone donated just a measly $5 that's $200 already. Bump it to $10 and you got a $400 in the pot.

Setting up a bounty makes much more sense as the port is almost there, so why not help speed up things and get it wrapped sooner?

Getting a fully working Android on TP2 is worth more than $5.

Also, getting the keyboard back-light working + a proper keymap should be on the chart and surely one of the top priorities.

The only reason to stay on Rhodium is the AWESOME keyboard.

So, lets list ALL the features that are missing so we can set up a bounty list.

[HD2 General] ReganH22:
I have recently started having a problem with my HD2. When I long press the end button to bring up the phone options menu in order to power the phone off, the touch screen becomes unresponsive and the phone locks up. At first I thought it was a problem with one of the Android builds I was running so I reformatted my SD card as well as tried a different Android build. That didn't work so I re flashed the Windows ROM I was using and still no luck. Now I have flashed to a different Windows Rom and refrained from using Android and it still doesn't work. The phone options menu pops up, but it wont register that I have pushed anything. I would say 1 out of 20 times it will register a response and will shut down. This is the only time I have a problem with the screen. I am able to do everything else with the phone, but use the phone options. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me. I have searched all over this site and the net and have not found anyone with a similar problem. Oh yeah I have also done both soft and hard resets to no avail.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Did you try removing your MicroSD Card to see if that changes anything? I had that happen to me a few months ago and it worked after I removed the card. Not sure why that has any effect on it at all, but I'm a trial and error type of guy. Ended up formatting my sd card and after that I never had the problem again. It might not work for you, but it's worth a try.
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
Thanks for the response, but I have tried that and no luck. The card has been reformatted and the phone does weather I am in windows or android.

[HD2 General] Mister B:
Hardware issue related to touch screen ribbon cable located behind end button.

on WM OS you could create a link to launch endkey.exe (found in windows folder) & use that instead of physically pressing endkey. This would overcome your issue to some extent & help diagnose fault as hardware or software ...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brn85:
hi!

guys, when should i charge the Galaxy S battery to maximize his life?

In my old phone, i only charge it when the phone shuts down himself. It can run for 7 days with no problems until i need to charge again.

Should i do the same thing with Galaxy S battery?

Well, when i need to connect the phone to the PC using USB cable, it will charge anyway. Is it bad? Should i do it only when i know the battery needs to be charged (when it has low battery)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
any time you want

it should always be topped up, there is no memory effect
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brn85:
Some people say that we should charge when the phone has 25% or 30% of the battery. And every month we should make a complete charge and discharge.

Is this a good method to keep the battery ok?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
best way is to cycle through 2 or 3 batteries

charge them full

then use them down until you get the warning, and change to new battery pack, then take the used battery to the charger

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einride:
Although I don't really have any definite sources to back this up, I've read several places that Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries can (and even should) be charged as often as possible. You should avoid letting them run flat, apparently.

What is certain though, is that they themselves have no memory effect like NiCd and NiMh batteries have.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
our SGS will nag you to death as soon as it reaches 10%, and it will constantly annoys you to charge the battery at 5%

so, no worry about running flat :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bundao1:
Technically to maximize the life (ie. capacity) of a Li-ion battery you should charge to full when it gets down to 40%.

The cooler the ambient temperature the better - A Li-ion battery operating at 25 degrees C will lose 20% of its capacity in one year. Higher temperatures drastically increase this degradation.

Given that most people will move to a newer phone after 2 years or so, and spare batteries are cheap as chips, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brn85:
So, people say that we should charge the battery when it has 30-40% of the capacity.

But what is the thechnical explanation?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that's exactly what i would like to know as well at 30%-40% will make the battery totally useless if that is true

might as well take the phone with a super long extension cold with you if that were true

LMAO :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppeccin:
I don't think that would be the best strategy, AFAIK (and read)

Li-ion packs prefer more frequent charges, even if after partial discharges, than full charge-discharge cycles.

Its also not good to store the pack fully charged. Best to store at 40% charge.

Following these 2 concepts, I imagine its better to charge the battery as often as possible, like every day, than to let it discharge until you get the warning.

Also, if you cycle through several packs, letting each one discharge almost completely, then charge it fully and move to a different pack like you suggested, that means you will be letting the battery unused at full charge for a longer period (the more packages you use, the longer the pack will stay stored at full charge).

Thats how I understand the behavior of those batteries. Just my 2 cents.

Paulo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailerr:
I will say what the first reply said, charge as often as you feel you have time. Do not wait for any percentage of drain. There is no memory effect and yes about once a month do one full uninterrupted cycle. The point of which is to let the device's power management recalibrate where 0 (or thereabouts and 100% of the current fill are.

Cooler is better, this is also true.

All educated advice on Li-Ion batteries is that they remain healthier for longer the fuller they are, but the chemicals must be exercised occasionally, thus the full charge cycle in one go.

One charge cycle also actually counts over multiple charges, and not just uninterrupted ones. You can drain then charge 25% 4 times and that is counted as one cycle for these batteries.

I have always stuck to this advice since I learnt of it several years back and I find my batteries work better and longer than many people I know (who stick with drain, charge methods (lack of updated information).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i agree with nailerr
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Simply charge it when you need to. It's better to have a fully charged battery when you need it, than run out of battery when an important call is coming through
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brn85:
So, the main reason to charge it with 30%-40% left is to avoid the battery heat too much?

I found this: h**p://batterycare.net/en/guide.html

It says more or less what you guys said here.

But you need to know that i always charge from 0% to 100% my old phone. It is 4 years old and it has no problems with the battery. It can run up to 7 days without any charge... Looks like charge it that way is not so bad anyway i guess...

Hi,

I'm a lead retail consultant at a Sprint retail location and starting on 10 / 7 there will be several new accessories available in store.

HDMI Video Dock 39.99

HTC EVO BATTERY CHARGING CASE and HOLSTER - 49.99

If any one is interested in having them shipped possibly a few days early please let me know.

Thanks,

TC

What are the retail SKU#s for these two devices?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rugedraw:
I appreciate the heads up, but is Sprint really going to release and $40 HMDI video dock so when can stand our phones up when we stream from YouTube? lol I think that will be a better release when the phone can actually use its HDMI out for something more useful. I recently read on here that iphonemoviez.net works through the HDMI out because the movies streamed play on the stock media player, but that is just a coincidence more than anything else, IMO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
You're going to have to provide a lot more details than this. I agree with the other poster asking for an SKU and i'd also like to see some pictures. Your claim that these will be released on 10/7 is interesting, but where are the facts?
[EVO 4G Accessories] DomSim:
uh, whats a battery charging case?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Aliendude151:
Sprint SKU & Accessories

I've noticed that you can now order a

HTC HDMI Cable (D-type to A-type connector) from sprints website for $29.99 but don't notice a docking station. Also, bestbuy was suppose to carry the HTC dock but still no such items listed on their site.

The best two sites I have found for EVO items are

seidioonline.com

ProClip.com

Wondering if a Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery for $49.99 is worth the money - how much talk/data time can I get? Note: the standard battery is 1500mAh
[EVO 4G Accessories] jfmrfish:
The skus are evh1357q and cxh4613q.

They aren't preloaded yet, my info comes from our accessory update spreadsheet.

The charging holster, will charge your phone while its in the holster.

Im not asking for payment now, just when they are available for shipping, who will be interested.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DomSim:
wait so your saying its a holster that you wear on your belt or what not, that charges the phone while its in the holster and walking around? what?

as for the bolded? why the f would we buy anything from you? why would we not just walk into a sprint store and buy it instead of risking money with a brand new member of this forum?
[EVO 4G Accessories] mchlwvr614:
Great announcement if true. I've been waiting for the oem dock.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
The charging case is like this but obviously for the EVO. There is a battery built into the case and the case has a microUSB plug that is plugged into the phone. The case, if it's like the one for the iPhone, would be able to run the phone like a car charger or top up the battery when the phone battery runs low.

The charging case was in the pre-launch presentations for the EVO if you remember (first image in the link, bottom right).

I'd also like to note that the SKUs that the rep mentions above are the same as the SKUs listed in the slide at the link immediately above.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mchlwvr614:
Another interesting thing to note is that the Desire HD is supposed to be released in October. Very similar to the Evo, if not the same, so accessories might fit both.

[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Like another poster, why would anyone "pre-order" from you when you're a faceless person when if your rumor is true, they can just go to a sprint store and buy it directly when it comes out? After all, you've got no legitamacy and it's not as if you're offering a discount. You're simply claiming to pre-order from you. Yeah, hang on, let me get my creidt card.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mchlwvr614:
If you don't want to order from him, don't. He is at least trying to provide release date info on some accessories people have been wanting. I don't understand all the whining and complaining. When october comes around we will know if he is full of it or not.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jfmrfish:
Check the accessory weekly update. Under running the store, and any two accessories gets you ten percent off.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
And the URL for this would be?

No one is saying a damn thing about the accessoires, just that no one is planning on "pre-ordering" from a guy who claims have them earlier. That just makes no sense.

OP needs to post more info.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ttringle:
Why is it taking so long for these accessories??

I appreciate the update and don't take this as an attack on you as opposed to HTC or Sprint.

This phone is now almost 6 months old, and in the age of Smart Phones etc that's very nearly 1/4th of the phones entire life cycle. New phones are already on the way that will significantly eclipse the phones currently on the market. Yeah those are all just vapor until they appear but this phone has been on the market for nearly Half a YEAR! Why is it that accessories that were promised on DAY ONE, are only just now getting into the stores?

Why weren't they available at the same time as the phone itself when MOST people would have bought them. Many people purchased car kits from 3rd parties because there was almost NO information about the car dock that was touted heavily when the phone was being marketed to new buyers and finally in stores ONLY in the past 2 weeks.

Luckily for me it took 6 months to convince my boss that I needed to get this phone so it actually works out best for me.

And while I am at it, why does it seem that the sprint stores have almost no clue as to when things are coming in or will be available.

At least I have somewhat of a heads up and hopefully that will equate to the way it was with the recent car dock. Nobody knew when it was in, but the forums here said it was going to be soon. So when I walked into the store a week and a half ago they had it in stock and I was able to walk out with it immediately. Quite a pleasant surprise for me.

Take care guys and thanks for the info.

Tim
[EVO 4G Accessories] clamknuckle:
Tim,

You need to realize that most of the general public keeps their phone for their 2 year contract. They aren't like the enthusaists here that get each new phone as it comes out.

It seems like this forum always seems to forget that. We are in the minority. The average person doesn't root, doesn't care about custom ROMs, and isn't upset that the Desire HD is out and already better than the EVO.

And while the phone has been out for 4 months already, there are still people waiting to get one. These accessories aren't that behind.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
My biggest issue with this whole late launch is I have bought a seidio caae an otterbox case a bodyglove case and an seidio 1750 mAh battery when this case would have solved all my issues.

The OP explained who he was and was kind enough to provide info that some of you didn't have. If he can make some extra sales then let him. He is no different than anyone else on here. I am on the Porsche boards where people used to think that you if you can afford a Turbo or a few other cars that you don't need to rip someone off and they would be all over a new comer. Guess who burned whom more? That is right - the veteran members. So don't always discount the new guy.

I am debating making items or offering up items on these kind of forums. We are a manufacturer and wholesaler of cell phone accessories. I have kept quiet to see the reactions of people on here to people like me. It has been with mixed results from what I have read.

Also as one poster said - we are the minority here when it comes to Rooting, Multiple cell phone cases, etc. Most keep their phones until upgrade time and use it mostly for a phone not a mini-computer :)
