you can disable the notification on the standard messaging app by going in the messaging app, clicking menu and under received messages make sure the recieved notification box is unchecked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
then you wont be notified at all...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Exactly. We just don't want notifications on the locked screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigj225:
+1 for this I really hate that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Can you turn off notifications in the default, but still use it for messaging, and just use handcent for its notifications?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
SteelH pointed this thread out to me before I got my EVO, so I put it on my todo list to look at once I received.

After taking a look at it today, you can certainly remove the notification message at the bottom of the stock lock screen that appears when using the stock messaging app as well.

The only drawback is, if you consider it a drawback, is that you end up removing ALL notifications at the bottom of the lockscreen, such as missed calls, text messages, etc.

If this is still something those who posted in this thread want, let me know, and I can post something up. I'm thinking a MetaMorph is the optimal solution, so as to avoid any other changes that you may have done previously to your HTC Lock Screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadoc04:
^ not a drawback at all...

Im interested in what you cook up JS...

Not quite sure what a 3.29 EVO is? Regardless use unRevoked: http://www.unrevoked.com/#evo

Step 1: unRevoked 3

Step 2: unRevoked Forever

then, nandroid backup, Titanium backup, then flash away...:cool:

I'm not looking for Touchwiz specifically. I actually don't care for it. I DO want the blue accents and theme for the framework. Which I HAVE searched for. The Gefrost theme for the Desire is slick. I just don't have the ability to port it or make a theme myself.

question when u turn sense off what do it look like n did it improved your battery any ?
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
so, i come from a Windows Mobile background (HTC Wizard first, Samsung Code after that). I've never owned an iPhone or played much with one.

we happened to be in the mall around the apple store and it was unbelievably packed (seriously). so we went in while we waited for our friends. and i started to play with an iPhone 4...and i'm not changing my phone...obviously. i pulled out the evo and I had my newly converted Avatar playing and got many looks from customers there....:D

anyways, point is while trying out the iphone I got to play guitar hero on it and it was great...so i got out of that store wanting to keep my phone and get a new game for it. when I go search on the market the only guitar hero on there has horrible reviews???

has anyone played a guitar hero / band hero type of game for the evo that works well? i dont want the iphone but just that game has had me thinking about it all day!:eek:

on another note...when do you guys think we'll start to have the amount of big companies developing for android like for the iphone? i would like to get some premium games!
[EVO 4G General] jpsheridan:
I know what you mean about big companies developing for the Android Platform. With the fact that Android Devices are now over taking the Iphone.. I would say that it won't be long before we start seeing apps flying out from those same companies that have been dedicating there apps for just the Iphone. They can't ignore the market and the shares that Android phones have now taken. IMOP it's going to happen real soon that we start seeing them. I've noticed a lot more apps being developed across both platforms. Not to mention when you have phones with the speed like the EVO; they know more Iphone users are starting to jump over to the Android platform.
[EVO 4G General] bludragon742:
I have seen a few GH games for Android and they are pretty decent IMHO.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
well i tried Guitar Hero World Tour and couldn't get past the login screen. after awkwardly putting in my username....what? no ok, next, arrow, nothing to move past that screen. nothing on the menu button...just nothing! and then it force closed...so uninstall and refund.

now i'm trying Guitar Hero 5...it's not perfect but at least it works. i have the idea that the one for iPhone was still better, but from what i'm seeing this is a 3rd party app whereas the iPhone one was official Guitar Hero (from their site).

i got another 23 hours to decide if i want to keep this $10 game:rolleyes:

any other recommendations? i know there's a lot of apps that wont show up in the market, maybe you guys know of some killer game like this that's out there?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Big companies wont get involved in Android no matter how much it surpasses Apple. Heres why:

There are simply too many ****ing Android phones. HTC pulls a phone out of its ass every month - they are literally all the same except different screen sizes, pixel counts, and processors - like its something revolutionary. Its a REALLY stupid marketing design for the long run. Apple, on the other hand, releases something completely new every iPhone while keeping the hardware the same. By this, I mean there aren't 500000 iPhone 4's - just one. With this, developers, especially for games, can focus on 1 platform whereas with Android you have to worry about a mess of hardware issues.

Really, its stupid HTC's fault. They REALLY need to stop releasing a ****ing phone every 2 weeks and focus on keeping the quality of their phones top notch. The Hero was promised so many updates but still lacks all of them.

So yeah developers really giving a **** about Android? Unlikely. If you want games get an iPod/iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Sorry, but that's the the dumbest argument I have seen all day. So why is Windows SO successful with app developers? With literally thousands of models of laptops and COUNTLESS configurations of desktops with different screen sizes, resolution, graphics cards, ram, the list goes on.

In fact, Android does it even BETTER than windows. Phone Hardware is tightly tied to Android APIs which means your LED flashlight app should work on all phones with LEDs, and so on.

Resolution is also not an issue with Android, as apps are written like webpages: resolution-independent, unlike iOS. . Example: Most android market apps run great on the newly announced Galaxy Tab whereas Apple had to throw a frickin' iPhone emulator on the iPad.

It ultimately comes down to adoption. Android is a monster now, and developers ARE taking notice. In fact, ALL of my iPhone app favorites are on android, or currently in development.

Also, releasing different phones is NOT stupid marketing. Turns out there are SIX BILLION people in the world, and different people have different needs. One size does NOT fit all. And guess what? Android is projected to become the #1 mobile platform very, very soon.

It's Mac vs. Windows all over again. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who's going to win.
[EVO 4G General] Zori:
Off-topic. A few days ago we were at the galleria shopping for a present, and we passed the Apple store like 8 times. Every single time we passed it I would take out my Evo and point it at the store and we would start yelling IPHONE SUCKS ANDROID EVO 4G. And then walk off casually as if nothing had happened. Was awesome.
[EVO 4G General] bnrbranding:
This made me LOL.

In any case, to think that developers are going to ignore Android because there are to many handsets is ridiculous. Developers are going to go where the money is, period. Even with the extra headache, having a potential market that is 20x larger is a pretty significant reason to put up with the fragmentation issues (that I don't believe are nearly as bad as the Henny Pennys make it out to be).
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
I agree that goes on the books as one of the dumbest arguments i have read. i mean it would never be possible to make an app that let you choose your resolution or make it default to the resolution of the device it is being used on such as with almost every full screen computer game/program :O thats impossible. oh wait no it isnt.

The android platform will pass up iOS (if it hasnt already thought i read it already did but will give benefit of the doubt to apple). The fact that they bring out so many phones is exactly WHY it is going to. you have 1 phone (ok 2 if you count last gen) for sale normally with iOS. you have how many android devices? A LOT. the longer it is out and the more people actually get to use it the fewer iphone drones there will be and the more android will flourish and with that comes more development.

Many developers have already started (though some of them seem not to have done there homework) EA for example has already started...though they said they wished android had an app delivery system such as the istore .... (they apparently haven't heard of the app market in android)..but they are starting to develop.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It's a decent argument. They aren't selling these games for $50 like they would on Windows. When you are selling a game for $2-5, margins are slim. Look at the high end games right now, they usually have to make several versions of the game to work for PowerVR GPUs, Adreno, etc.

As for resolution independence, not completely. Android uses raster images for a lot of UI elements. If you look in a APK, you'll see a resource folder that holds image data for various resolutions, usually just two (320x480 and ~800x480). There is no folder for higher resolution tablets so either they'll a) be blurry from scaling up or b) have a lot of empty space in the app. Option A would be the same as how the iOS does it for the iPad. Anyway, this a non issue to me (and hopefully everyone else too). Why use a tablet for phone size apps? I want tablet apps, I already have a damn 4.3" Android phone.

One last point about resolution problems, since Apps have to include weighty graphic files for all resolutions it also has to carry the added file size. So the more resolutions it has to support, the bigger the file. Because Apple was in control of the hardware they were able to do something that works: just double the resolution (320x480 to 640x960). Apps made for both resolutions look the same regardless of which resolution it was originally made for since they can scale 1:1.

Here is why developers don't like the Android Marketplace:

1) Fragmentation, yes it's real. No matter how much you argue, developing for Android requires more work than iOS. That is a fact.

2) Payment method. It sucks on Android and doesn't on iOS. A lower ratio of user buy paid apps on Android and that's a fact.

3) Not as many countries even support paid apps at all. This hurts it a lot.

4) User base is still much larger on iOS.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
award no one said their wouldnt be more difficulities in dealing with the diffrent resolutions. What we said is that no smart developing firm is going to ignore the android platform because of it which is what the arguement said they would do.

does dealing with multiple resolutions increase cost for the developer and present more difficulties then developing for just 1 phone. Sure. are developers going to turn there nose at the android platform which is currently close to if not bigger then the iOS platform as far as usage and growing quickly? I cant see the future but i would wager no they arent.

so the arguement that big developers will never touch the android platform because of resolution issues IS a stupid arguement. if he would have said the developers are slow to get involved because of how fractured the phones are for the android platform i would tend to agree it was a decent arguement, but thats not what the arguement was.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
By itself I agree. But Android's Marketplace problems (which I noted) add up. I work as a developer/designer (not mobile apps though) and time is money. The money just isn't there to justify building both iOS and Android apps.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Exactly. My boss used to work for 3

Ea games and he said there is an entire section of the Ea building that is sealed off like the pentagon. This section is the iPhone developers area. With ios booming so much its not economically feasible to develop for Android. Besides that the android line has far too many hardware differences. There is a lot of bad information in this thread. Believe me when I say everything I have said to be the truth. If android wants games like iPhone it needs to start producing similar hardware which is not going to happen.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I agree with the other poster, if the buyers are there, developers will invest into the platform. Android Hardware fragmentation will never be solved and will always be a pain to developers. That said, it'll be a pain they'll tolerate but not until they fix the broken Marketplace that is preventing/pushing people from buying apps.
[EVO 4G General] evohack99:
I feel in time, android phones will be more alike, after they find one good setup... But also more people are coming to the adroid phone which will drive the demand for devs, so I feel they will start producing in the near future.

[EVO 4G General] dag16:
I have several friends who design apps as a living for the iphone. I've asked them why they don't do Android apps, and they basically said this exact same thing. With low profit margins and the need to constantly release new apps, it's easier for them to just focus on the iphone because it only has 1 phone, they don't need to change anything for each different phone. Even if android ends up being 60% of the market, that 60% is split over 10 touchscreen phones, while apple has the remaining 40% with just the one phone
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Yeah I don't know why some people in here are doubting my argument like I am making frivolous claims. This is my job - to work in programming and simulations. My boss used to work for EA. He still helps dev teams out with the iPhone. Lots of people on these forums just talk talk talk talk like they know what they are talking about. Sad.
[EVO 4G General] Kubernetes:
Big companies wont get involved in Android no matter how much it surpasses Apple. Heres why:

That's idiotic. Game development by big players is happening right now. Remember that Android didn't have powerful hardware in a mass market seller until the Droid, which was released only a year ago. Now that the hardware base is full of Evo, Droid X/2 and Galaxy S phones, there's a huge opportunity. Not to mention that Android will likely be the #2 smartphone OS in another year, and probably dominant in the US.

Couple that with the fact that Android is easier to develop for than iOS, and a company would have to have some retarded management to disregard Android.
[EVO 4G General] chandlerw88:
The person who said they wont get involved because of hardware differences is absolutely correct and its been said its the reason why android has been somewhat held back. When the iphone4 and evo first came out u read that's in an article. The development tools are harder to use also probably due toso many different hardware specs. But it also said that developers think android is the future and will be better than iOS. Eventually we'll see better games but its really does make sense about thee difficulties of turing to develop something on devices with completely different hardware specs. And its not the same as computers because most computers can be upgrades on the hardware front or they come barely good enough to work with a particular software.
[EVO 4G General] vikmurthy:
Relative Smartphone O/S Market Shares

I can't speak to the relative speed of game development on the respective phone platforms, but I can say that Android's market share gains are pretty formidable. According to the latest reports, Android is closing in on RIM and Apple for smartphone operating system market share in the U.S..

On a worldwide basis, Android appears to be in third place behind Symbian (by a large margin) and closely on the heels of RIM.

I wanted to provide a link to the source of that information, but was not allowed to do so. Thus, I'll simply say that you can find an article called "An Analysis and Valuation of The Success Story Formally Known as Android" on the Zero Hedge website.

I'd be shocked if the top mobile gaming titles weren't available on Android in the foreseeable future.

I just started doing the xdandroid (since it was 'finalized' on 9/16), by downloading the cab, and installing the reference version of the package.

Everything installs and runs fine. The first time. After a graceful shut-down, and re-starting, I learn that the startup.txt file is 0 bytes -- empty! So, Android won't boot.

Why is my startup.txt continually being modified and cleared?

Any info appreciated.

Thx.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
Did you guys search? If I search in the android thread on "0 bytes" I get 20 results. It's a bug of the startup utility. Don't use it or rename startup.txt to default.txt. Maybe putting the startup.txt to read only should work to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Best option: DON'T USE MGJDROIDUTIL!!!

Also, for you cab peoples - it uses this by default - use haret.exe!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uncleswoop:
i had the same prob. it goes to haret and if u click run it will say it cant find default text. uninstall android. delete all files in andboot folder. reinstall. copy and paste the "startup.txt" file to the same folder. rename it "default.txt" or just "default."

the same thing will happen to the startup.txt but the default.txt will always work. you just have to hit run when it gets to haret.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I would, just because then you get a better feel of what's really happening. I installed the cab for the first time last night... that thing is an atrocity.

At any rate, MGJDroidUtil was also updated, so you should be safe using it again - assuming you're using the newly updated version that is.
