recommend you buy/install mybackup pro.. you can reinstall a bunch of apps without it prompting you for each one... i think if you pay for titanium backup it does the same..

i frequently copy the appmanager (diff app i use) and titanium backup directoryies from internal to external sd so i have have a backup in case of a full reset ..

i also set mybackup pro to backup directly to external sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yeah, that was my problem i forgot to move a copy of titanium backup from internal SD to external SD

otherwise i'd not have had to go thorugh 800+ clicks to say OK to everything

LOL :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
well... after aprox 250+ apps/games installed the phone is going back to its old self slooooooooow when you try to install 2 or more apps concurrently.

and the list of Manage Apps takes a while to load up

so it seems like the sweet spot is to keep less than 200 apps on the phone to keep it running silky smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tkalli:
Thanks for the report and the painless part, AllGamer.

May have to try it one of these days if I screw up.

After reading you post, I move the Titanium Backups to SDcard

just so I don't forget. Now have to remember to update it.

:)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
I can't even imagine how you have 800 apps on your phone. I just counted and I have 21, and to me that is a lot, but perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
not 800 it's 400 but for each install you need 2 click

so that's 800 clicks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtx:
I have an evo 4g, and I would like to root the phone, simply to run force roam, so that I can roam to verizon in weak sprint areas, instead of the phone constantly trying to flip back and forth and killing my battery.

I don't want to run a custom rom, I just want to keep the stock rom. The phone is on 2.2, with the latest update applied.

I found these instructions on the web: [ for some reason I can't post the link, anyway, it is the evo 4g root instructions on android central]

-------

1. Download this file (PC36IMG.zip). Move it to the root (as in top level) of the Evo's storage card.

2. Turn the phone off. Once it is, hold down the volume button and the power button until you get a white screen and some text. You're now in the bootloader. It should automatically start checking the PC36IMG.zip file you put on the card.

3. Once it's done, it'll list all the images on the card and ask if you want to flash. (This is your last chance to back out.) Say yes, and we're on our way. It'll look like this as it's going:

4. After it's done, it'll ask if you want to reboot. Surely.

That's it. You have a rooted ROM. You'll want to rename (or delete) the PC36IMG.zip image file that you put on the card, so that next time you enter the bootloader it won't try to automatically update again. You can do that by plugging in the phone, choosing "HTC Sync" and going to your favorite command line prompt and typing:

adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip

Leave the phone plugged in if you want to go on to the next section and load the custom recovery. (After the break, for cleanliness.) Otherwise, you're done.

-------------

Can I still run those instructions with the latest update applied, and will that allow me to simply run programs that need root and keep my current rom as is?

Thank You
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baknblack:
If unrevoked works on the newest OTA that's your best bet. It also flashes a custom recovery and sets S-off. that way if an OTA takes your root away it can always be undone.

I thought all I wanted was roam and a week after using unrevoked a new update for froyo appears. I'd already removed a bunch of sprint crap so my phone wouldn't take the update. I just flashed a stock rooted version of the update along with the new radio and pri. Joeykrim had a rooted version up the same day the update came out.

I was scared of flashing myself but, it's really not a big deal.

BTW MrGregs roam control works great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliendude5300:
I have an Epic 4G (rooted), and I want to do the same thing, but I also want to keep a stock ROM. I don't really want to change much at all, I just want to be able to force my phone to roam onto Verizon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecklbrg:
I am pretty sure there is an app on the market that allows you to force roam. I think it is like 4 or 5$ though.

personally, I have rooted my evo (toast method) and use CyanogenMod 6.0 to force roam (it has a built in feature)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtx:
Thanks for the replies. I am actually coming from a Nexus One and a G1 before that, where I ran CM most of the time, so I am not opposed or afraid of rooting the device and running custom roms. It is just that I am still in my 30 day evaluation period on Sprint, so I don't want to go too far, but I was looking to possibly root if it was something simple that I could revert if needed. At this time, All I want to do is run the force roaming app from the market that was mentioned, but it does require root access.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baknblack:
If ur rooted mrgreggs app will do the job for you. I think it's 3 or 4 bucks, email him first and check if your phone is compatible.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sigma20xx:
I got my Tilt 2 March of this year. While it's been fun, I notice less and less support for it everywhere. We've had some good times together, but it' can't be helped that it's time to switch over to an android phone. It's in really good condition and I was thinking about putting it on ebay. Can I charge at least $200 for this thing? I don't want to get a new phone until I can unload this one somehow. Yes it does seem like a waste, but it's rapidly becoming the phone not to have IMO. I've been rocking the Energy Rom since I've had it but the lack of apps and other goodies that the newer phones have are killing it right now. So that's why I think it's time for an upgrade.

This was my first smartphone. I upgraded from a motorola razor that I had for 3 years. I think that the next phone I get will be the last phone that I'll need. It just seems like the Tilt 2 didn't last as long as I thought it would.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djteotancolis:
how is the condition? if in mint condition 200 is easy on ebay
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sigma20xx:
It's definitely mint. Never been dropped or anything like that. I'm just wondering if it'll be worth anything to the general public seeing as how there are bigger and better phones out there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djteotancolis:
its easily possible if its in mint condition and comes with accessories and all
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
It's not worth anything. Send it to me for proper disposal.:D

Seriously, I've only had mine since June, but I love it. Not my first Smartphone as I replaced an LG Incite with it and have been using a WinMo PDA since 2003. I have yet to not find an app for the things I do with a phone and for just entertainment. Is it perfect? Of course not, but is any phone? I don't think so. I have friends with iPhones who marvel at some of the tings my Tilt 2 does and I have friends with Android phones who are jealous of some of the features their phones are missing. If it isn't doing what you need it to do, then by all mean upgrade, but ditching a prefectly good, working phone just because you think the grass is greener on the other side is foolish. You might get $200 on eBay (I paid $250 for mine in June and it was NIB), but with Verizon getting iPhones in Jan and Windows Phone 7 due in December you better hurry as prices will be falling real soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AVakil:
Android was working perfectly ok with a 3G connection, but the new build isn't connecting. Any help? I didn't see anything in the FAQ.

I uninstalled the CAB from WinMo and deleted excess files off the microsd card.

Any idea on what's going on?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is the force cdma option enabled in your startup? This only applies if you are on a CDMA carrier, obviously.

Also, don't use MGJDroidUtil... it has been known to screw up the startup.txt, I thought they were updating it tho... Haven't heard anything about it so just stay away from it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AVakil:
Thanks for the tip regarding not using the launcher. I have noticed that startup.txt getting corrupted.

The force CDMA is enabled in my startup. I am on Sprint.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lip008:
same....

I have the same problem. Force CDMA is checked. The BLAZN and default releases were my first attempt at this when audio support was added. Both of those tested and worked as expected. So that's two of us so far.

BTW I told myself I'd donate once some great minds got audio working. Is it best to donate on the main page or to any other specific party?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
To both of you... you may want to format & start over. lip008, you said "force cdma is checked" - that sounds like you're using MGJDroidUtil, because the startup.txt is a text file... you have to make sure the force cdma command is in the cmdline section.

Oh and for donations, I'd say the general XDAndroid Donation page is sufficient :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sukru:
I'm on GSM (T-Mobile), and I had the same issue (not the BLAZN build, the regular one)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ok, how about APN settings? sukru, others, have you checked those?

Honestly I haven't had to add the APN manually for several builds, but maybe there's a regression in the new build.

As always, make sure your rootfs, zImage/modules are up to date.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lancevs:
Heres the solution if you are on sprint

Boot into windows mobile and connect to pc so you can access the files in the andboot folder on your sd card. .

or (the purpose of this is so you can edit your STARTUP.TXT using notepad)

You can take out your SD CARD and put it in a card reader and do this too.. as long as you are in windows mobile..

DO NOT DO THIS IN ANDROID..

Once you get access to the SD CARD files.. go into the ANDBOOT folder..

locate STARTUP.TXT and edit it with notepad

locate the long line of commands that starts with "Set cmdline"....

read the entire line and somewhere in the middle you will find a part that says..

force_cdma=0 (remove this part only)

and make sure you have this at the end.... htc_hw.force_cdma=1

NEXT: SAVE YOUR FILE.. AND HERES THE IMPORTANT PART..

***** BOOT WITH HARET.EXE***** NOT WITH THE MGJDroidUtil program...

THIS WORKED FOR ME.. and if any of the mods here want to add to this.. please feel free to clarify..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lancevs:
In lamens terms... On cdma network sprint only

THERE IS A CORRUPT ENTRY IN THE STARTUP.TXT that needs to be removed..

EDIT this entry using notepad while not booted up in android.

the entry needs to be removed mentioned above..

DO NOT USE: MGJDroidUtil to start android.. USE FILE EXPLORER.. AND start

HARET.EXE..

hope this helps..

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lancevs, I appreciate then enthusiasm, but I don't think that would have any effect on GSM guys.

However, using MGJDroidUtil can still screw up anybody's startup.txt, regardless of the type of phone/radio... so he is correct in that fact:

DON'T USE MGJDROIDUTIL.EXE!!!!

Edit - didn't even think about it but sukru - do you have this force_cdma statement set to 1? For us CDMA guys it's required, but it probably will break you GSM guys if it is enabled... So check that out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lancevs:
Yes for clarification

MY POST SAYS " FOR SPRINT USERS ONLY" at the TITLE...

GSM users, this does not apply..

I am on sprint and spent a good part of yesterday trying to figure out why i had no service.. I am on SPRINT which is a CDMA network..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sukru:
Will check again tonight. Android was getting better each time, then it suddenly went down for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] shawndoc:
Hey guys. I had been running an early August (pre sound) release of Blazn, and everything had been fine. Today I decided to upgrade to get sound and 3D support, and every time I boot into Android it shows no signal, and shows I'm in airplane mode, and it will not let me turn the radio on.

I'm using a Sprint TP2, and I followed the instructions for earlier in the thread, but still no go.

Here's the line from my config file:

lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod400 htc_hw.force_cdma=1

Is there something wrong in it? I am launching Haret directly from TotalCommander File Explorer. Same problem if I use the config/startup utility.

Also, to install the latest version, I deleted the andboot and android folders on my SD card, then installed via cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That line looks correct, perhaps you should post your entire startup.txt.

Or just start with a clean build - wipe everything Android related and do a fresh install. The new startup utility is pretty slick, just be sure you check force cdma in the advanced section.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] shawndoc:
Seems to be random. About 30% of the time it will work, the other 70% of the time "no service" and no way to turn on the radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, perhaps you shouldn't use the update utility at all. It has been updated so it shouldn't corrupt the startup.txt, but I had issues with it... so personally I prefer to just use haret & modify the startup.txt manually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] shawndoc:
I am launching Haret directly, see OG post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Start with a clean build. Don't touch the startup utility, because you said you had previously. It's been known to corrupt the startup.txt, even these new builds I had my startup.txt go to 0 bytes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] swaters3:
hi I am having the same problems cant get android to connect with sprint on the tp2. I am no expert but have become very good at using windows mobile as a user not a developer so all i know is i downloaded a cab file that was haret version 9 28 it came with a little icon labeled android project when i launch it i get to a screen that lets me make some advanced setting and check for updates before and choose my phone model. It says aka sovereinty at the bottom. I have tried to boot without forcing cdma and it does not connect and when i choose force cdma it seems likes its kinda connecting but keeps getting a error message and then i force close and it automatically tries again. If i boot wiithout force cdma the i can connect via wifi but that works but seems to also disconnect after a few minutes, though that is not my concern for now. I tried with the sim and without. and have updated twice so i am know on 10 4. anybody that get help would be appreciated. I love my tp2 with windows mobile but am curuios to play with android being that sprint wont let me unless i change my plan and make me pay double. not interested because my tp2 works great now and has everything i need.

thanks

First i would like to say that doing a search in the main HTC HERO CDMA forum which can be found on the top right of the page will help you out tremendously.

As for kernels, Here is a link to all the kernels that Decad3nce has done. You can read through and test them out.

A lot of people are using the #14 kernel which can be downloaded at this link

CM6 #14 kernel

As for customizing, either go to the themes and development forums and you will find themes and themed ROM's. There is also some tweaks you can do in settings>Cyanogenmod Settings. It's more of trying out different things. What I do to my phone is my preference. Make it your own. Trial and Error..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Thuneau:
First post- I did search but found nothing.

Is there a tool to undelete files on the internal SD memory after a full reset?

I thought I'm safe to factory reset the phone (Samsung Captivate) after backing up to internal SD with MyBackup pro, but the SD looks to be reformated. I know the files are still there, because actual deleting of few GB of info takes quite a while, so it's just the directory that got reset. A full scan will find the files. If I could remove the internal storage, there are tools to perform this operation on a Linux computer, but what about internal storage that's accessible only through USB?
