Thanks "ricsim78", I agree 100%

There are way to many users who just want their answer answered because they think they are in their own little world where no one else matters. No matter how many times their answer is already posted in other threads or posts!

Now I really wanted to share some battery stats, because this is a MSC thread, I thought here would be a great place for this, if not my apologies and mods please move to correct thread!

Set-Up

Currently, i'm running an E3D with hboot 1.5 S-off, I was able to flash, InfectedRom_Synergy RLS-1, and the stock rom kernel Ziggy471.

y battery is a beast, 3600mah extended battery. SetCPU-192MHz max & min.

Results

Currently over 23hrs & 30min use time, and 14 hours remaining.

I also made a really cool background, i'm a graphic designer by trade, I thought you guys might like to have it for your e3D.

This rom will also overclock the evo 3D to 1.725GHz, so I just bump it up when I'm doing something that needs it. Quadrant 3450 Score. Also this was not a reading from just sitting around all day! I used my favorite video editing app to create a 5 min video which took 2 hours of hard use, and of course lots of web surfing calling, ect....

Let me know what you guys think!

I would say this is probably the best rom/kernel combination for the E3D, If you can get everything working on it! I had to flash it about 5 times before everything worked! For some reason in a specific order. My idea on this is because, specific pieces of data get left behind when flashing over (Even when wiping data,cache,dalvik, BATTERY(which I always recommend))

haha blunt but useful.

I didn't ever get involved in the whole radio stuff. I figured that would make or break a rom... if it's slow.

I followed this tutorial here:

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-on-hboot-2-18-with-s-off/

I got through the whole recovery thing except when I got to the steps for S-OFF. The very first command just returns a "device not found" error.

got stuck in a boot loop when I put cyanogenmod 7 on it. I redid some steps then just started panicking and flashing ****. Finally it booted into cm7.

When I boot into recovery it still says S-OFF but I can use things that require root. I am able to grant apps access to root using the SuperSU app. I want to be able to install ROMs via the SD card but I can't seem to do that with S-OFF. I'm confused though, because I followed that tutorial to the letter. I've never rooted before so I was very cautious. Then I thought I bricked my phone and was screwed when it wouldn't boot.

I don't understand this **** well enough.... -_- does anyone else have any suggestions for getting S-OFF? Nothing I've tried works and I don't understand why I keep getting "device not found" when I've enabled debugging and typed the command properly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
Calm down, you're already rooted so you dont need to do any of that crap. All you need is a good recovery. Smelkus can do that for you. Look it up and flash it, then you can. Begin downloading ROMs and flashing them through recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Risket:
My phone won't even load the recovery. When I go to the bootloader and choose "recovery" it just goes to "fastboot" anyway. I have to use the command line on my computer every time and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img" to get my phone to load recovery so I can flash anything.

I found Smelkus at goo.im They have aokp, cm9, ics, mason, reloaded2, tmdirt2. I tried them all and they all say installation is aborted.

I'm currently using CM7. I tried CM9 this morning (with Android 4.1.1) and everything was crashing constantly. I couldn't even use the Play Store, Music, YouTube, Drive. TeamDirt got stuck in a boot loop. Finally I just formatted everything and put CM7 back on it. I thought it would be awesome to have ICS or JB but I really just needed something that worked.

recoveries

i've read alot about cwm not being as good as amon_ra because it leaves traces of previous roms and you cannot flash radios, is there any truth to that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhauler1969:
2.5 years ago when the evo came out Amon_Ra was definitely more reliable and would flash anything you told it to. After a bad experience with CWM when I first rooted my EVO I wouldn't use it. Around version 2.0.5.X CWM was having problems properly wiping dalvik cache, which would ultimately leave remnant data behind when changing ROMs which creates a lot of problems when flashing incompatible ROM versions, i.e. from a Sense ROM to an AOSP ROM. Any more CWM is and has been reliable for quite some time, I personally don't use it unless I absolutely have to, I much prefer TWRP on my current devices.

Doubts about unlocked htc 4g

Hi,

I am new to installing custom ROM. I have a HTC EVO 4G sprint unlocked. I use MTS as my service provider. I have a doubt, that when I install custom ROM whether the phone again will get locked to sprint or the unlocked status continue? KIndly clairfy.

still no reply. excepting your reply

Raghavan N
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grtdrgn:
If you are using a different service provider, your phone is "Carrier Unlocked" and to my knowledge will remain "Carrier Unlocked" regardless of flashing ROMs, Rooting, Unrooting, or any other modifications made to the software. Although my knowledge is still somewhat limited when it comes to phones, I believe "Carrier Unlocking" is done at a hardware level, so no software can change that.

Kind regards
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFschizoid:
However I believe that you have to set up the phone software's carrier in fain order for it to work with data correctly

Is there any possibility to take HDR photos on HD2? Best way would be to integrate such feature right into the built-in camera app (iPhone-like)....

Thanks in advance, Pete.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurokrem:
I was just about to ask the same question.

I searched other threads and there is still no word about app that would enable us to get HDR.

HDR is strictly software level based so it shouldnt be too hard for someone to make app or modify ROM so we can use it.

iphone and Android didnt have it,but now they can enjoy this feature.

Hopefully someone will make that app for us.

I have followed all of the install notes and still get the "need to unzip a rootfs file" when booting. I have tried numerous ROMS and get the same result, including Chuckydroid. Currently installed Energy23138 with 2.10.50:26. I have also tried installing many of the Android Roms with same result. Last ROM that worked was FRG33. Something has changed since then. Help!

Hi,

just noticed that when auto-focusing the phones camera makes a quiet click. This is more obvious when taking a macro shot. Should I be worried or is this how it should be working? Someone once told me that if a camera makes a noise when focusing you should be worried...

Thanks!

[Streak 5 General] ale922:
I´m in Chile and want to get a Streak but my problem is i´ve read a lot of threads of people who wake up to a shattered LCD with the streak not even falling once, or others that a drop from 2 feet shatters the gorilla glass. I´m about to pay $550 + shipping to chile + taxes here in chile, so it´s about $700 dollars for me, and I don´t want to wake up one day, pick up the streak from my desk and find the screen shattered. Are these problems common? has your Streak´s survived some falls?

And a second question, does anyone know if dell has international warranty for the Dell Streak. If my screen breaks here in chile can i get a replacement from Dell Chile? I´ve bought Dell notebooks in the past in USA and they have international Warranty but not sure about the streak.

I tried to chat with dell and ask them. The first agent said that it did have international warranty. Just to be sure I logged in again and asked the same question and another agent said that it didn´t have international warranty. and a 3rd agent said that dell doesn´t sell phones, only computers.

Hope you guys can help me out. thanks
[Streak 5 General] stryfe604:
First of all my streak screen and glass is broken just by putting my streak in pocket. But I still dont dislike the phone. THe phone is a great product, BUT the problem is the way Dell is handling well everything to do with the Streak.

Dell agents are useless, but They do have a international warranty, but it doesn't cover the screen or physical damage. If you damage the screen then you're screwed because dell doesn't even have repair department set up. They won't even let you pay to get it fixed. The warranty only covers hardware or software defects that happened due to manufacture problems. Otherwise Dell will tell you to go f*** yourself. Im not joking. That's what they told me.
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
I have heard that if you are persistent, they will replace your Streak from screen breakage. You especially have a strong case if you're one of those whose screen broke with no trauma.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
problem. before the 107 update my ringtones and notifications played fine. after the update it doesnt. they break off, sound comes distorted, drives me crazy. i reverted back to 27 (like before the last update) and its fine again. does anyone have this problem? any permanent solutions? thanks

BTW, as a temporary fix, if i toggle the bluetooth off and on, it will fix the problem for a while, but then it will happen again.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Have you tried unmounting your SD card, going to notifications, verifying that they're gone, then re-mounting it? (Might also want to reseat just in case).

If you have something A2DP connected, this can happen, but in general, I haven't noticed it much. How are your ringtones encoded?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I've experienced this issue also. It only happens when I'm connected to another device through bluetooth.

I've been contemplating reverting back to DG27 also, but for other reasons. Ever since the update, Android System Process keeps the phone from sleeping properly. I'm getting half the battery I was getting before.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Miamicane99:
A friend and I both download NESOID and we were trying to get the Net Play to work but were unsuccessful. We tried both blutooth and wifi and were unable to connect on either.

[Captivate General] maximus-dev:
Sorry to start yet another thread on it... but I didn't want the question to get lost in the shuffle.

I'm rooted, and absolutely do NOT want to run the update. I just got a text message saying an update was going to be coming and when asked to do it to say okay. I've shut down my phone for now... from other experience, when the update tries to be forced... can it be stopped?
[Captivate General] maximus-dev:
Sorry to double post... just a bit surprised no one has answered. I saw the post with the update available to be ran through clockwork, so as soon as my phone said it was connecting to some server (red/white arrow), I shut the sucker down and downloaded the update from the thread in the developers section that is flashable with clockwork. Turned the phone back on, copied over the update and flashed it before the phone could offer me the over air update.

Worked great, so I recommend it to anyone.

Still have the question out there though... to users who got the over air update, were you given any option to stop it or not?
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
There was a cancel button, but all that did was stop downloading and next time you tried to re-download/continue downloading you would just go straight to install.
[Droid X General] amoeller:
So I have a rooted Droid X running official 2.1. I want 2.2 but I want to keep my original bootloader. Is there an update.zip that can take me to the OTA or the leaked OTA without messing with my booloader or recovery? I would also not like to wipe my data ether.

Also just to clarify, I have bootloader version 29.01. The stock image in ROM Manager from what I see requires me to update my bootloader.

Thanks

Edit:

Better question. I was reading around about this and I came across the system 2.2 only SBF. Now it says all it dose is write to the system and nothing else. Can I use this SBF to flash to 2.2 from 2.1 without data wipe and not touch my bootloader at v29.01? Link at http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...announces-froyo-system-sbf-rsdlite-4-8-a.html

I have a sickness ... not sure what it is called, or if you would even call it a sickness.

Here I am, staring at my Droid Incredible, after having just "un-rooted" AGAIN. I have had this phone since June, and I LOVE IT! I love the fact that you can do so much to it and tweak every aspect of it. It keeps me interested and busy playing with the phone. I have rooted and un-rooted so many times. I have loaded so many different roms with different themes. I am starting to get to the point where I wish I could find a good setup so I can just leave it alone and use it normally, instead of "hacking" it once or twice a week. It sucks! I can't leave it alone. I read about so many cool updated or new ROMS and feel I want to try them out.

Do any of you have the same issue? It is difficult for me to be satisfied so I am always changing my phone. I am tempted to just give it up and get a dumb-phone that just calls and txt's, and maybe get an iPod Touch for music, browsing, and games ... but I know I will end up jail breaking it and tinkering with it. It is a waste of my time! LOL

Anyway, just wanted to vent for a minute to see if it helps me.

I want to find a good setup and stick with it. I am sick of wasting my time rooting, romming, unrooting, etc. I can't help it though ... it's so much fun! :D

Thanks for reading.
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
im the same... but i find it normal if you are changing roms every week... i mean normal as in a "normal" rooted user.

isn't this the very reason why we use android though? if we wanted a setup that "just works" and never changes we would all have iphones. apparently that crowd can live with the same setup for 2 years (not that it's really changed since it's debut)!! how can they NOT get tired of looking at the same ole thing for that long?!?

anyways, unless it's ruining your life... keep doing what makes you happy.

[Droid Incredible General] wryun:
Thanks for the inspiration. :)

I think it has something to do with my OCD as well. Trying to find the perfect ROM/KERNEL/THEME that will give max battery life and performance etc.

Maybe I should just limit myself to once a month.

I always go between CM6 and Virtuous, and sometimes branch out to another ROM but always go back to the two (CM6 & V). I go to Virtuous for the stability and familiarity, and go to CM6 for something different than SenseUI and more experimental.

I just mostly get tired of having to set up my apps and settings over and over.

Thanks again.

These things are just high-tech crack pipes, and ROMs are just downloadable crack rocks, and rmk40, ihtfp69, kingklick and all the others are just a bunch of crack dealers. This site and the other Android dev sites are like street corners - I'm checking them on a daily basis looking for fresh crack. The analogy breaks down when considering that none of this costs any money (other than voluntary donations) which just fuels the addiction. We're a bunch of crackheads smoking free crack and can't get enough. We definately need a 12 step program around here and a "Droid Incredible Rehab" forum section might be a good idea ;-).

rmk40 is releasing Virtuous 3.0.0 tonight or tomorrow so that'll be the next hit I take. Time to stock up on steel wool.
