[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Magic ISO will open the two .rfs files.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shep211:
First thing is choose what base you want to work with. Then load the rom and dump /system.

1 Install busybox to /system/xbin

2 cd /sdcard

3 chmod 777 /system/xbin/busybox

4 /system/xbin/busybox tar czvf dump.tar /system

On your sdcard will be dump.tar. Copy to pc. Unzip the dump.tar. Use xUltimate to deodex /system/apps & /system/framework. Now you can edit framework.res and add theme, battery icons & shutdown menu if needed. This requires Linux to dump the files and Linux to repack them if there are no themes, battery icons or shutdown menus available for your base rom. Add busybox & root. Add what apps you want preloaded to /data/apps. You can also include modem and kernel if needed. Now create update.zip that will flash the files you changed. I have been working on learning how to dump and edit framework.res. From this process I have learned its easier to make your changes to the source code then making changes after then rom is compiled. I read up on CM and they suggest making android apps before compiling from source to get use to android file system and what not. I am now learning android sdk with eclipse. Then I am going to start working with source code instead of making roms from dumps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbbo2002:
Thanks Mikey for the info that helps a lot so I don't have to load a Linux (still might since I have VMW. I assume Cygwin can do the reconstruction?

Well I got the Frameworks rfs to extract but not any others? What other .rfs file can Magic ISO open/extract?

OK the Cache.rfs file I was able to open and extract the zip. On the first ROM it wouldn't work so must be bad.

Thanks

In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple

[EVO 4G General] rtdrumz:
Communistic features = example... if you (Steve Jobs or your company Apple) don't want to write or support the platforms or applications that I (the consumer) want to run on MY DEVICE... then that is fine... *I'm not asking for your support* But don't ban or prohibit ME from doing so! We (the consumer) pay alot of money for these devices. The very least Steve Jobs can do is allow for me to improve on what I purchased. It's mine! I paid for it! And it wasn't cheap either! Yes it is a good product but could be better....
[EVO 4G General] Arm0:
I don't think there is anything sad about it at all, the android phones are not for everyone YET. If i were to buy a phone for my mom, I'd get her an iPhone. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Evo (and I used to have an iPhone), but the android OS is just not as user friendly as iOS, YET. There will come a time when the iPhone [much like every other apple product] becomes exclusively for the apple fan boy/girl. But until that day, I believe it will continue to be the most popular smart phone.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:

If you want free tethering (or many of the things that you feel are not available on the iPhone) on you're EVO, you're pretty much forced to root your phone. In the same sense, if you want to, you can jail break a iPhone and get access to Cydia - a Apple free app store.

Its true that the official app store has more restrictions but its also part of the reason why the quality of the apps is better. But still, your claim is a weak and uninformed one. The jail breaking / dev community on the iPhone is as large and active.

[EVO 4G General] evohack99:
Actually his point and myn hit the nail on the head. If you don't allow ppl to come up with ideas and not so good apps, but only the best of the best? That's communistic features, the android market may not have the best apps but it being free to any dev gives it more of a capital setting which we all know is better for business. Mark my words, if he keeps his market that way, many will change to android. The market needs to be open to everyone. I feel android is already taking over apple.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
there's a difference in making it to where the user has good experience than where the platform is overloaded with crap and makes the OS look like it was made for a 7 year old. There is a reason why people like linux over windows, just as people prefer android over ios.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
There's also a reason why Linux has a 1% market share and was being returned like crazy when it used to come preloaded on netbooks.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Every year there have been rumors of this happening and so far it has never happened. But if it does, then the #1 supplier and pusher of Android powered phones in the US would probably do a 180 and start pushing the iPhone instead. And if there aren't any contractual agreements with Verizon, I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up on Sprint with 1-2 years.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
lol linux as market share? you kidding right? linux is an open platform. If you are talking about users using buying linux for their laptops then that's wrong. Linux doesn't make any money at all from selling stuff to the users. The only time they make money is when red hat and commercial linux versions get used for server OS. And in that case about 70-80% of the market belongs to linux as servers.

iOS offers no customization at all. It's the same doesn't matter what you do. Android on the other hand has HUGE area of customization and tweaking. And at the same time it can be tweaked by the users to make it faster (aka modded kernels and such)

If a verizon cdma phone comes out, i'm pretty sure someone will find a way to get it to work on the sprint network. Same way they made at&t work on other networks by hard modding it.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
People like Linux over Windows? People like dumbed down devices. Windows>Linux, iOS>Android - Not because one is better than the other, but because they are so dumbed down that even a 3 year old can use it.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
They're not getting the iPhone 5. Apple releases their iPhones mid-year, every year.

Verizon, when it get's it, will be the iPhone 4 turned CDMA. Now here's the issue, why would Verizon put out an iPhone that's not LTE friendly? Why would they put out the iPhone 4 when 5 is around the corner? I have a feeling that Verizon will not be releasing an iPhone during the first quarter of 2011 but instead waiting till mid-year and releasing something else. I also see their network going to **** when all the sheep switch over
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
I've been using smart keyboard pro and it's terrible. Something about the space bar isn't right....The only keyboard on the Evo right now that is just as good and possibly better than the iPhone's is the new Sense keyboard.

I'm not including Swype, that keyboard is insane. Not for me though, I just can't seem to get what I want out of it.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
People like linux because of the amount of customization and the light weight nature of it. Some even switch to get rid of viruses all together. But in this case we're talking about "user friendly" devices. And to me, if you were to give me a device that my 5 year old would have no problem using, would be as if you were insulting me and calling me dumb. Android on the other hand allows you to modify it in any way you want, and is less user friendly but better for techies which is why i bought an android phone in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Compare stock iOS and stock Android. Iphone isnt very customizable at all, what you get is what you get. Android can change almost every single thing about the phone. If you dont like the keyboard, change it, dont like the phone app, change it, dont like the browser, change it, dont like the LAUNCHER, change it. One of the biggest reason I think the average user might not like android is due to not knowing that they can change it if they dont like it or simple to dumb to figure out how. They think "well this keyboard sucks, I guess ill have to return the phone." My brother was one of these people, he had NO idea you can change the launcher, browser, lock screen, etc..

Rooted Android and jailbroken Iphones are both great, they let you do whatever you want. The biggest thing though is that androids source is open source, even android devs will answer questions about the source code and how to fix/change some things. Iv seen it. You can compile your own android OS, tweak as much as you want. Cyanogen mod is the best example.
[EVO 4G General] Arm0:
Every device has its ups and downs. The iPhone is no different and neither is the evo or the incredible. We just pick whatever device suits our needs best. Though the ATT network is subpar. Lol.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
He's right. I was just having a conversation with my friend the other day, i was all hyped up about what my phone was capable of. He's an iPhone user, so he's all like "man, i told my mom we shouldve gotten android phones!" As soon as i reminded him that in order to get his phone somewhat like mine, he would have to tweak the hell out of it, he backed off. iPhone users just want something that will do what they want out of the box; and that's what I respect about the iPhone, that out of the box, it does exactly what you want with a nice simple interface.

But the reason I love my Android phone so much is because I can say this is MY phone. I think that's why everyone loves their android phones. We could all be on the same firmware, but we have all added our own tweaks to make it totally our own. Out of the box, Android phones are just clay that can be molded into whatever you want it to be; while the iPhone out of the box is a preset statue that you pretty much have to adjust to whether you like it or not.

Sorry, let me rephrase that, 1% of the home user share.

I'm primarily a web based developer and designer, I work with various sever distros of Linux all the time. I've also tried out just about every distro of Linux for personal use. They all are terrible -- I'm speaking desktop OS's. The only thing going for it is that it's free. Poor software alternatives. Poor hardware support. Poor design and user experience. Poor almost everything. There's a reason why no distro has taken off of with desktop/laptop OEMs like Android has in the smartphone market. So even then, yes, market share matters because nobody finds it worthy enough to sell.

Again, a jail broken iPhone can be customized to hell to.

Poor hardware support? they support almost every single type of video card out there, as well as almost every processor. Ubuntu/debian/fedora/etc.. have AMAZING design quality and experience. You know those little graphical motions you see on phones and iOS now days? yea those were first started up by compiz fusion/beryl.

[YOUTUBE]ZD7QraljRfM[/YOUTUBE]

Just a simple beryl video. Beryl is the same as compiz fusion. Compiz and beryl merged a while ago to create compiz fusion.

The iOS distro that's installed on laptops and desktops now, are all copying what compiz/beryl has been doing for YEARS.

Software is a LOT better than any windows platform. Not only does it support wine which runs about 70% of all windows programs, but platforms like ubuntu also support install manager which list thousands if not millions of programs that are available for free.

The reason people don't use linux is because they are lazy ****s and have been taught the same **** since windows 2000.

yea, a jailbroken iPhone. Android comes out of the box with customization options. you can have 4-5 different launchers, you can change out icons, you can add widgets, you can download new widgets, you can even change out the default browser, and thats all from stock OS
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
You really just showed Beryl? Haha. Man, I've used Linux far longer than you think probably before you even knew it existed.

All I'm going to say that I work doing interfaces with some very talented people, and trust me, the quality of work just doesn't touch what Windows and OS X offer. Anybody worth asking will tell you the same.

Nobody wants to deal with Linux not because they are lazy but because they aren't stupid enough to deal with it's problems when there are BETTER alternatives. Why deal with fixing hardware compatibilities when OS X and Windows offer MUCH BETTER support. Why bother running WINE when OS X and Windows runs the apps natively with full OS integration. Why bother trying to configure a ugly unintuitive library of UI / UX functions when Windows and OS X offer high quality UI/UX work THAT WORKS right out of the box. Why? Why? Why?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
lol WHAT problems. I've installed debian on over 5 pcs so far, and have had 0 problems. Ranging from intel to amd as far as processor goes, and nvidia to radeon as far as graphics cards go.

OS X runs its own programs, while windows runs its own. Same with linux. Why are you even comparing OS X in the mix when barely any developers make os x based programs for free. And the reason i mentioned wine was because you brought up the point for apps running on linux, and i told you that over 70% of apps function perfectly with wine, not including all the thousands if not millions of programs that are open source that are 1000000x better then the ones on windows, not to mention its open source. When a windows program comes out for free that includes sources and such, about 99% of the time there is a tarball for linux as well, yet there is no OS X version.

And please don't go into coding at all. There is a reason why 80-90% of all servers are preinstalled with debian/centos/ubuntu/etc.. It's light weight, faster, and any script or program runs 100x smoother on it rather then all those buggy languages like vb.net/vb/C#/etc..
