[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
So how is it in the best interest of sprint to gimp a phone on their own network to drive sales to a different device on their own network which costs less and has the same service fees? Maybe this is why they are doing so poorly, they have business plans thought up by 10 year olds.

It just doesn't make any sense. They intentionally "dumbed down" the epic to support the evo? Why?
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
Being that I own both I want to remind you that the EVO came "gimped" as well. <30fps and at the time, and per HTC, it could NOT be fixed as it was hardware limited, bt issues, some have gps issues as well, HDMI out ONLY works for video/pix in certain apps etc., etc.. The fact of the matter is the the HTC community is much larger, and more active, than the the Samsung Epic community. The EVO community has knocked most of these issues out of the park one by one. Where we have a handful of people on xda working on the epic, cruise by the EVO dev board and you will see there are easily 5x the people working on issues/releases/new things. That being said I notice that a lot of other HTC phones cross over... so if the EVO community doesn't fix something, another HTC phone comes up with a fix that is easily adapted to the EVO.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I do not agree. The epic is the most feature rich galaxy s phone. The little things you mention are programming errors or samsung decisions.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I wish there were as many devs working on the Epic as there are on HTC devices. That being said, I'm extremely thankful (and we, as Epic owners, are very fortunate) to have the talent that we DO have working on our devices as well. We DO have some extremely talented devs in this section. I'm tickled to see devs that came over from SDX that were so involved with the Moment. That phone had several plagues and the devs as SDX were hard core devoted to it. Some of them still are, and some of them have come over to play in the Epic park.

Thanks to all the Epic devs that we have. You all are truly talented and I sincerely appreciate all the time/effort that you put in so that I can enjoy my device that much more.

This has been the case for quite some time. I remember the TP2 was very similar. Devs were always taking features/tweaks/fixes from one device and making it work on the TP2 because we 'had to have it'..

I believe the Galaxy S phones will cross over as well eventually. We're at a slight disadvantage though in that regard as there are a whole slew of HTC devices that are similar and we only have 4 or 5 Galaxy S phones..

Either way, I'm thankful for the talented devs that we DO have working on these phones. And you never know, some of the HTC devs might just get tired of working on HTC's and wanna come play with something that's Epic :D
[Epic 4G General] smeyerhuky:
I am much happier with the epic than the G1 or the Moment that I had before. I don't thiink sprint is using this to boost sales of the evo. they are doing fine advertising the evo without the "sales" from people who don't want the epic.

The epic has better specs than the evo first off -- talking hardware. HTC has been in the game longer than sammy and as it as said earlier, the samsung programming team could use some help.

Our phones are open sourced, if someone is not happpy with something CHANGE it. Go to barnes and nobles and get a f****n programming book and do sometthing.

Lastly,

It is kinda funny that sprint is still having those stupid "first" commercials regarding the evo. We got it already sprint. Now advertise the second and ......
[Epic 4G General] smeyerhuky:
Damn this sounds bitcy, sorry. Slept very little last night. I mean eerything I just mean to sound like less of a tol saying it.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Did they cut down on some features out of box? yes..but its 100% does not have anything to do with the EVO..sprint doesn't make more or less money with whichever device you choose...so why would they go out of their way to do it?

But they do need to advertise Epic more...I mean I see commercials with Instincts on them and they don't even have them in stock...talk about wasting money...
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
The Epic's smaller internal flash wasn't a gimp... we got better flash than the the others did. The Vibrant and Captivate have the equivalent of a hardwired microSD card (SLOW). We have real, parallel-interfaced flash.

AT&T and T-Mobile went for big-number bling. Sprint listened to the engineers.

Personally, I think the Epic is off to a slow start against the Evo, but will ultimately win the marathon by virtue of being more maintainable by end users over the long run. Evo owners basically have to depend on hardware similarities with the Nexus One to get any kind of independent driver support. Samsung built the kernel using proper loadable kernel modules. The Evo's kernel is easier to remix today; our kernel is easier to blow away and build from scratch tomorrow.

Now... Samsung/Sprint DID totally gimp the Epic's keyboard by using large flat keycaps. They should have kept the pitch, but made the keycaps half as tall and wide. Or rounded them to make it easier to press the centers without pressing adjacent keys. They sacrificed genuine usability for the sake of making it thin and pretty in pictures. :(
[Epic 4G General] runvus:
I had the Evo, and moved to the Epic, and don't regret it at all. I miss some things(I loved Fresh Roms on the Evo) but I love the screen colors and brightness on the Epic and I think the camera is better. Once it gets 2.2, I think the Epic is a better choice.

Plus I love the Gorilla Glass(no screen prot needed), the better rear camera(no easy scratches) and the keyboard if I need to type out a lot of things(still use SwiftKey or Swype more than the hardware keyboard).
[Epic 4G General] churro7:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alcatrazx:
Ok Guys

I suppose that you all know about the the 3.14 Rom by now .... I must admit that it is quite fast compared to the previous stock builds from HTC.

However the mystery comes here. This version comes insalled with Manilla Build 2018 and to my suprise

- There is no Ereader tab

- There is no Documents tab

- There is no Facebook tab

- There is no Manilla TV tab

- There is no FM Radio tab

- There is no Manilla Today Page tab

It would be really cool guys / chefs / developers alike if we could have CABS for the above-mentioned tabs. There was a project over here which had 5 of the above tabs added to Manilla. However with the latest build of Manilla, there is an error (an unknown exception) when Manilla launches. Unfortunately this project (of the extra tabs ) was discontinued.

There is also a ROM out there (by Netdgr if I am not mistaken) which has some of these extra tabs included (and also includes the FM Radio tab) but this ROM is unfortunately in French :(

I would really wish some help from you fellows so that maybe we introduce a section where new Tabs are posted by developers and people would be able to add/remove Cabs individually so that they can customize their Manilla.

if anyone can help out or maybe let people like me know where to find the different tabs (cabs of them), it would be greatly appreciated if you could post your links here. The more tabs the better.

I thank everyone again for being such a great community. The HD2 is truly a good mobile but XDA does really make it rock!

Regards

Al
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matthewharmon102:
are you talking about a stock 3.14 rom? i didnt think these tabs existed as part of a stock rom and they were made by the chefs (i could be wrong on this)

id love to see an fm radio tab! im currently running cleanex dse v6 so ive got a facebook, documents, gps and tv tab. no e reader tho :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Raiderman:
I dont think those tabs are in stock Roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RollaRed:
lol he's had a cooked rom for so long he forgot what stock roms look like!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jir0nimo:
Haha. I was thinking the same thing! Only 'cause I don't even remember what a stock rom looks like!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
The 3.14 rom on the HTC website is Stock rom, not Cooked rom!!

tray to use a cooked rom instead. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
HTC will not support any more tabs in here roms. Because the HD2 is to old for

this guys. Ha, ha, to old? The HD2 is at this time the best what you can get with

this big screen. And i know so many people with a HD2. Also in different beta

groups. And co0kie says: my HD2 is holy :D.

On questions about the tabs ask me please. Possible i can help out. But use at 1st a PM please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alcatrazx:
Sorry to disappoint you but you are wrong .... the ereader tab emerged as part of T-Mobile's ROMS and Dutty was kind enough to make it a standalone tab. So please don't come tell me "the chefs did it ..." .. its not the case at least with the Ereader tab.

I am not too sure RE the Documents tab either... If I am not mistaken it has originated from another stock ROM (probably US TMo again...)

As far as the FM Radio / Manilla TV / GPS tracker / RSS Tab as mentioned ... and Facebook tabs... they are all done by the chefs over here ... but so far they have been presented as part of ROMS...

Don't have me wrong guys. But personally I prefer stock roms, cool homebrew stuff done by developers at XDA. I am not into total customization of the HD2... I am sure that there are many people out there which share the same opinion.

Again it would be REALLY COOL if we could create a STICKY with all the cool tabs which the developers create ... so everyone could customize his / her Manilla as he or she wishes....I don't think that any of the tabs hog the HD2

As for the age thing re the HD2.... By all means HD2 AIN'T OLD .... it outspecs the HD7 for f**k sake! .... I think that HTC realised that ... and I don't think they really like the HD2....This little baby .... is capable of running WP7 .... and Android like a charm.....Microsoft's attempt at saying that the HD2 DOES NOT have enough hardware buttons was ridiculous! the HD7 has 3 ... the HD2 has 5! More buttons does not mean less specs.... stop doing marketting HTC and M$.... it sucks....

Well where were we? Oh yes .... if anyone has ... any useful info please post here ... I will do the necessary research and come back to you with LINKS and pics if possible ... so we could make this one good thread :) Things should have been tried and tested to work ........

Many thanks

Al
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alcatrazx:
If you were referring to me ... I always used stock Roms .... I love cooked ROMS mind you :) but I usually prefer the standard feel of the phone ... but some extra tabs won't hurt .... Never had a documents tab or ereader tab ... but read on pocketnow .... about it ... and these were introduced by Tmo US .... Then Mr. Dutty was kind enough to create a standalone app... but tab does not work on build 2018 (manilla).....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alcatrazx:
I KNOW that it is a stock ROM .... but there is no need to revert to a cooked ROM if I just want to install a couple of CABS .... again there are people like me who just want to customise some little things here and there ... they don't really want heavy modding ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alcatrazx:
a HUGE THANKS...

Hi there ...

Will try each and every tab ... and will get back to you (via pm) and ultimately here as well... keep the info coming :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alcatrazx:
Maybe you never tried stock Roms ... but always remember that the chefs (who are brilliant by the way) .... always cook their rom versions from the original rom ... I have nothing against it ... but if I just want to add an extra tab or 2 and with the rest I'm happy why not keep the rom I'm happy with ?

Again ... I have looked at dozens or roms out there ... many of them have one thing and do not have another .... but at the end of the day ... it' all boils down to taste really ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
I have updated my posting #7 about the HD2 tabs. In this case the Manila Today Page info.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo84:
That's why Dutty is making roms ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huedawg:
Hey guys . I tried rooting my phone using unrevoked 3.21 . I installed the boot drivers and ran the reflash, it done it thing and said everything was good . Once I try to get into recovery , I get nothing but a black screen ? I just got this incredible the other day and its running 2.2 . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . :) Edit : I should add that there is no rom manager or anything like that in my apps , only the super user ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MvRouC12:
Had the same exact problem about 2 minutes ago, and i came across your post when i was searching for a fix. Now that i've found a fix, i thought i would help a fellow rooter out. According to what i found, it's a screen problem. Something to do with the new Slcd screen on the incredible and the root. Anyway, enough of the small talk. Time for the fix.

1. Plug your phone into your computer via USB.

2. Select "Disk Drive" in the options menu that comes up on your phones screen and hit okay.

3. Download the new recovery image here: ( Sorry for the messed up URL. Since i made this account just to post in this thread i can't post outside links. Just remove all of the *'s )

http:*//dougpiston*.com/files/Recovery/PB31IMG_cwm_mod.zip

4. Rename PB31IMG_cwm_mod.zip to just PB31IMG.zip

5. Put it on the root of your SD card. ( For me it was H: )

6. Make sure your SD card is formated to FAT32. If it is not, make a backup of the files on your SD card - as formatting the card will delete all data - then right click on your SD card drive, go to format, select FAT32, and click start. Once it is formated, place all of you files back on the SD card.

7. Disconnect your phone from the computer and power it down.

8. Boot your phone into HBOOT (Power + Volume Down)

9. Wait for HBOOT to load. It will ask to update "recovery". Select Yes.

10. It will ask if you want to reboot. Select No.

11. It will take you back to the HBOOT menu. Select Recovery.

12. Select "back up and restore" ( Not sure what it exactly is. I'm writing this from memory... )

13. Remove PB31IMG.zip from your SD card to avoid HBOOT asking everytime.

Done. In 13 easy steps. You can now boot into recovery any time you please.

NOTE: I take no credit for this fix AT ALL. All credit goes to doug piston and adryanlyne.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Or just download ROM Manager, select the second to the last option, which is Flash Alternate Recovery. Then reboot into recovery to verify it works.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huedawg:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huedawg:
Nevermind , when I renamed the file , I accually renamed it to PB31IMG.zip.zip . . ha ! Thanks !! So far , so good ! I have the green and black screen now !

To add to this , I can get into recovery and see everything , however, when I click on something like "advanced" , it just goes to a black screen and does nothing ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] a2937:
Hi people!

I'm investigating how to reach maximum performance with Android in my POLA200.

I had run top command from the terminal emulator and I note that I have only 1 MB ~ 3 MB of free ram.

My questions are:

- How can we free more ram?

- Installing it in NAND gives us more free RAM? (I think not but not sure 100%)

The more free RAM we can get, the more performance we can get in running apps (no swap)

I'm running VaniljEclair RLS11. What happens in Warm Donut or in Froyo if you run top?

How much RAM have you got?

Thanks in advance. This will be a nice thread to get conclusions.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pl0ppy:
Too less free RAM you got there. If that bothers you much, try Warm Donut, or if you are really scrapping the bottom of the ship barrel for RAM, try Fresh Froyo or a Cupcake (1.5) build. But I will warn you, Cupcake is outdated.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] manu33xtro:
Hi,

Maybe you can try to enable compcache ?

If you want you have to do that with an emulator (better terminal Emulator for example) :

type "su" and after type "compcache.sh start"

Wait a few minutes

after type "free" to see a new line called "swap".

With a Polaris100 I can see :

- Mem : 104008 (101868 used)

- Swap : 26000 (2732 used)

- Total : 13008 (104600 used)

Cheers.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] a2937:
I have it enabled. From spare parts-> enable compcache.

Running free after i see swap but it have 0 used.

Thanks!

My camera stopped working after flashing Leedroid 2.2a! I have been using RCmixHD for the past 10 days and after reverting back to my old rom it doesnt work anymore! I've tried switching sd cards erasing everything, I also make sure to wipe before flashing. Any help on this? Everything works except the camera, I'm trying some other roms at the moment and will update asap.

*I've tried loading a different version of Leedroid and opendesire and it still doesnt work! Camera just initializes but I am greeted by a blank screen!

Anyone that can help me??? I am getting mighty desperate. Could it be a possibility that the camera is broken? Everything else is working just fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7pellc:
I’m not sure it's your ROM mate. I reckon the camera's gone. As long as you fully wiped and the camera isn't working on any ROM I cant see how it can be a software problem?

Have you retried flashing a new radio?
