[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackk819:
Hey guys I will be getting my Evo tomorrow. And I have some questions.

1. What are the positives of rooting the Evo?

2. Can the Evo be unrooted?

3. There seems to be alot of choices on which ROMs to use, which are best?

4. I really love the smooth a sharp look of icons and the whole interface. Can I keep this? I am not sure if I can explain it well, I just hate the blocky looking interfaces that some themes have.

5. Is this dangerous to do? I dont want to break my phone.

I will think of more questions I have. The reason I made a new thread and didn't just search for everything is so I can interact and ask more questions.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdizzle9:
Fair enough I guess, but to be honest you'll most likely get better/more in depth answers by searching the forums. But I'll give ya some quickies.

1. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/129648-quick-intro-rooting-those-new-rooting.html

Some benefits are listed there. ^

2. Yes.

3. That is kind of like asking what car is best. Better to test drive a few and see what you like. CM6, Fresh, BakedSnacks all seem to be popular.

4. Yes. You do not need to change themes by rooting. When looking at ROMs, it seems you would benefit from choosing one that has Sense or even a stock ROM.

5. As long as you do research and follow directions the risks are minimal.

I'm far from an expert on this, though, so still do research.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
So I called T-Mobile on Monday to get a replacement phone since my current G2 already has some "dust" in the screen - this after a week or so of usage only.... Long story cut short I received my replacement phone today and here's what I got:

I can't believe this ****, this is what i put my hard earned money towards?! Are you ****in' kidding me?!? :mad:

I'm sending this one back and the next replacement phone better be perfect, I've lost faith in HTC.... wow
[G2 and Desire Z General] gjvah:
You're either the most unlucky guy I know, or you abuse the **** out of the phone... But probably it's #1.

P.S. Don't loose hope.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
#1 sounds more like it... I was all excited to unbox a perfect replacement phone and BAM! Dead Pixels slap me in the face when I turn on the phone...

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a *****!?!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ThaGeNeCySt:
that looks like the same exact phone I sent back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lpaddikt:
I got that exact same thing with my first phone and then got it replaced with a looser hinged one. My brother bought one too and he has a dead pixel too. Looks like bad luck is not the answer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] t3rabyte:
I'm on my third G2 unit, arriving Friday or Saturday. The previous two have had dead pixels. I swear, if I open up this package and find another phone with dead pixels I'm gonna scream.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
3rd?! Damn I guess I'm not the only one around here that needed their G2 replaced... On another note, while I was away I turned on the replacement phone again for **** & giggles and I noticed an even worse issue...

The screen displayed white's in a yellowish color, I sat it next to my current G2 and it was a night & day difference :eek:...

WTF is going on HTC/T-Mobile?! Do you really wanna send defected products to your customers?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ekoulak:
I think its more t mobile than htc. Here is why. I had two vibrants both returned with in buyers remorse both with issues. Now I'm waiting on my second g2. Looks like tmobile qc sucks.

Sent from my G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
if your only problems are the dead pixels, I would download a strobe light app (one of the ones that flashes colors on your screen very rapidly) and turn it on its highest speed.

Sometimes the pixels might be stuck, not dead, and rapidly changing the colors on the screen can sometimes make pixels un-stuck.

Might want to give it a try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
Good idea, the only draw back is what I just posted... the screen is not displaying the colors accuretly, its showing white with a tint of yellow. Why is this problem? Because my 1st G2 actually displays white as whites not yellowish white.

Oh well, another waiting game for a new G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] t3rabyte:
I tried. On both phones. No luck. I'm sure this 3rd phone I'm getting will have dead pixels too, so I'll try again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
lol that would be some bull if it ended up being yours.. as long as I can get it replaced ill be happy, let's just hope my 3rd G2 will be my last.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
My second G2 has dead pixels. Lame. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] electronicrice:
I've gone through 4 G2's now. First had random reboots, second had an extremely loose wobbly screen, third had dead pixels, and now the fourth is working well, but of course I dropped it from 2 feet on the second day of having it and made a nick in the soft touch plastic.

I can't win with this phone so far...
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
4 G2's!?!?! If I were you I would of killed someone by now lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
did you guys do this at a in store exchange or mail the sucker back and forth?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
Since mine was pre-ordered they said I couldn't exchange it in store, which I thought was the dumbest policy ever...
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
So if i got:

No dead pixels

No random reboots

But the screen is a little annoying some times, it closed on me once.

I should probably just keep it huh?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
:rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] electronicrice:
Seriously, I was getting pissed. The T-Mobile store employees were getting pissed at me too. But if I'm paying off contract for this phone, there better be no issues. Now I'm just struggling with that chip in the plastic I made. It's pretty small but knowing it's there is killing me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fusion06:
I just read in the XDA Portal that someone found a way to dual boot between two different Android Roms on one phone and ,well...i was wondering if this is possible with Windows. i have Miri N Dinik's Rom right now but say i wanted to try out Energy's Rom too...but keep my previous Rom. Is that doable or is there something special in Android phones that makes it possible? :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mskip:
Thread moved to Q&A :)

To answer your question no its not possible to dual boot between 2 WinMo Roms. Android runs of partitions so you can install an Android Rom on different partitions and then select which partition to boot from. WinMo doesnt work like that.

thank you captain fu*****g obvious for your brilliant worthless post... next time use the search button..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gaiden0000:
What the other guy was trying to say, but in a very rude way, is that although the spec's are the same there are other issues that will cause the HD2 to not run windows phone 7 to it's full potential.

For example, each WP7 phone comes with a specific key (so to speak) embedded in it which is kept on MS's server, which will allow each phone to authenticate itself with MS to get most of the on-line features, I.E. Xbox live integration, yada, yada.

So yes, it is easier in that it's already been proven (check the video's about it) that WP7 will run on the HD2, but with-out most of the WP7 online functionality.

Update was successfully downloaded and starts to install, progress bar reaches the 25% mark than the phone goes into root mode with the message;

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i_z:
Hi,

My physical keyboard's letter "O" has a mechanical problem. If I press it normally, it does not register it, if I press it with a little more pressure, or a little sideways, it will write 3 or 4 "o"-s minimum.

Would you recommend taking it apart to see if it is just dirt, or is it more likely that something is broken, that I would not be able to fix without parts?

My dilemma: It is a T7381 Telstra, (from Australia) that I am using on ATT in the US. In theory it is still under warranty for 4 more months (not sure how easily I could get things fixed being the 2nd owner). This is not enough of an issue for me to mail it to Australia and wait for it for weeks, but I don't want to lose the warranty (in case I run into problems in the next 4 months) by breaking the seal on the screw, unless I have a good chance that I can fix the keyboard.

Any and all thoughts and experiences are welcome!

Thanks,

I_Z
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Send it back. You'll likely get a new phone out of it. If you have a warranty, use it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andio81:
Check with Telstra if it is still under warranty (serial number). If they say yep, then send it back for sure.. Even if they replace a major component it would be worth it.

Otherwise you can always check ebay for spares for keyboard and such.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dopeee:
Sorry Im a bit of a noob at this, but I've been wanting to apply the BuuF theme to my galaxy s. I know there is an ADW version of it but I want the full theme with status bar, notification bar etc to be replaced as well.

This theme is found in the Themes Android XDA forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=574139

It seems this theme can be applied to a few different ROMs and phones, but none that I know are available for this phone.

Just wondering can you only apply themes that have been built specifically for the phone / mod specified? I was reading up on this app called Metamorph which sounds like the app to do it, but sounds risky.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mvenneker:
i didnt check if it was suited for galaxy S but i am pretty sure it is.. but..

u have to root your phone :-) and since u state it yourself that u are a noob i suggest u better read in first on how to do that .

goodluck

thanks. yeah my phone is rooted already. i'll probably give this a go on the weekend then...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] devabhishek:
hey... this theme is created around oct 2009.. when samsung galaxy was yet to born.. and in that theme the menu style looks old style when u needed to drag the arrow to the top to open the menu... i am afraid this theme is not for samsung galaxy s..

and the procedure to apply the theme also doesn't looks like its for galaxy s.

anyways ... if you feel like giving it a try .. its totally your call

best of luck buddy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dopeee:
hehe yeah i had a feeling as such. thanks for the advice mate if I get any luck putting it successfuly on the galaxy s, I'll share it with everyone. perhaps I'll only use some of the theme and skip all the parts that dont fit with the style of this phone.

[Desire HD General] Milali:
Hi guys I'm a veteran game programmer who is venturing into Android development.

I am looking at getting an android phone for development test but also communication purposes (I don't have a smart phone atm)

I am torn between the SGS and the HDH, the sgs appears to have the better gpu, but the hdh has htc, so it will most probably get 3.0.

I am in Australia and there isn't a viable option for a nexus one.

What do you guys think? Just keep developing on the emulator until the HDH is released?
[Desire HD General] phunkycow:
Desire HD features the new Adreno 205 GPU, which is basically on par with the SGS GPU (at least according to the first benchmarks). :)
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
Not entirely true, since it depends for which architecture/API the application was written.

http://androidandme.com/2010/10/news/3dmarkmobile-gpu-showdown-adreno-205-vs-powervr-sgx540/

@Milali: for compatibility's sake as well as for the potential of developing on a constantly evolving platform in a timely manner, I would definitely recommend the DHD.
[Desire HD General] Spaky:
+1. I would like to add that CPU\Ram on the DHD will be better than on G2, so benchmarks and general performance will take a boost. Anyway I would like to see how the SGS scores when it takes Froyo onboard, last but not least, at the moment a lot of game are optimized for the SGX GPU....so difficult to see real power of DHD with actual software but I'm planning to take a DHD as soon as available in Italy
[Desire HD General] Milali:
thanks guys, I'll just sit and wait for the DHD to be released. here is hoping Vodafone has decent coverage around Canberra! :D

i never had an Android phone yet, but i already have 5 apps. I've been using the emulator to develop my apps, but for 3d games you should develop on a phone because the emulator isn't that perfect for 3D games.
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
If i was a proper full time developer, i would purchase a nexus one and a flagship htc device...

Reason being you can test so much more on the nexus as its 100 percent unlocked and open to whatever code you would like to chuck at it;)

Then once completed you can find a way of porting what you have built to the desire HD, if it needs any porting at all;P

A Serious Dev's phone is a Nexus one;)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] babillon:
So first some background:

I have an original 1.5 Rogers HTC Magic phone. I applied the 911 update to it when it was pushed out from Rogers. It was then flashed following the CyanogenMod6.0-RC directions from their Wiki and had been working well enough up until recently.

Rogers released their 2.1 and so I decided to give it a whirl.

Downloaded RCMagic Rogers RUU 3.54.631.3 Android 2.1 for magic+ ( [Rom][NR][32A]RCMagic v5 710Mhz OC WIFI Working |Rogers 2.1[Oct 10] ) and attempted to apply it via the ClockworkMod Recovery. Am now stuck at the HTC MAGIC splash screen. It just sits there. So I tried flashing the CyanogenMod zip I had left on my SD card and am having the same issue.

Booted up in fastboot and have the following info

SAPHIRE UNKNOWN 32a ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43

I suspect I screwed the pooch somewhere, though I'm thankful I can still get into both fastboot and Clockwork Recovery.

And of course, I was silly and didn't make a nandroid backup once I got everything in place the first time.

So how do I get myself back to a working phone? I couldn't find anything that would get me going where I needed, and really am just more confused.

If it makes a difference I'm running Windows7 on my PC (it's always been a pain using HTC/Rogers RUUs due to that).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Did you do a full wipe first? data/cache/dalvik?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] babillon:
I hadn't before I posted, no. But I just performed both Wipe options in Clockwork and I'm still hanging at the HTC MAGIC splash.

I'd be willing to bring the phone back to stock and work up from there if necessary. At least I'd be somewhere!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] babillon:
Update! After using the Radio Switcher Tool at work on an XP machine all is now well.

For some reason the updates wouldn't push to the phone from my Windows7 machine but then again, I've always had finicky issues like that with it.

But its got no HTTPS with that and I'm to cheap to buy anything. >_>

Barnicle, Yes i know what it is....and that would be great if my PC had a wi-fi card!

I've used it...windows 7 laptops at walmart...hahahahah

***edit***

But it does not matter now, I've gone back to Slide2G1 battery life and tether but no location.. hopefully when the update for the 1.2 comes out it will be the slideUI and have normal Froyo tether...or work with HTC sync to tether
