Part of it because HTC is having doubts about Windows Phone 7 OS, and is making their cheap ass phones. I am sorry but they just lost my business.

HTC if you are reading this...Bye Bye, adios!! You made your bed and now sleep in it!

I ordered from let'stalk back on the 26th (when they listed shipping 28) still haven't received. If it doesn't ship by this evening I am cancelling and just purchasing in store
[HD7 General] xhamoodx:
i called letstalk yesterday and i cancelled the order

they said the earlier they are going to ship is on the 8th but it's not guaranteed
[HD7 General] diablos991:
Yeah, just cancel it unless you don't mind waiting.

Okay thanks going to call them now

Just cancelled mine with them. Will just get it local on Monday. Think they missed the whole concept of PRE order lol
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
Is Android really secure enough to bank on?

What security precautions do you all take?
[EVO 4G General] vboyz103:
I would not suggest to do any banking on any mobile device not just android specially with hacked roms. The risk is too much for instance losing ur device and if ur device is rooted then it data is exposed.
[EVO 4G General] Mast3rpyr0:
I use Mint just to view my bank account, if i ever lose my device, they still need my pin number to get into the app(not your bank pin, any pin you set) and i can always change the password of the account online.

Over a cell network is probably THE safest way to bank. I trust that Cyanogen hasnt done anything that will steal my bank info.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Unlock screen password + BoA app doesn't have my password saved, AND has most of the username censored. 3G is also fairly secure, compared to cable or a WiFi connection.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
No matter how you bank online it will be insecure IMO, using an unrooted android phone is probably a little bit more secure then using a PC or mac though. Just don't set it up so anyone can get in there without using a password or something.

I say unrooted because once you root it's a whole new ballgame. Using any custom ROM or giving any 3rd party app SU permissions means they have a free for all to any and everything your phone has and does.
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
I use the web on the phone to check my accounts, but I do not use an app for it.

I also make sure to never save passwords on the browser as well.
[EVO 4G General] Josh H.:
Just don't save your usernames/passwords if you bank on the browser, and make sure to tell any banking app to log out when you leave the program (you might not even be ABLE to stay logged in).

All data through CDMA cell networks is encrypted by default, not to mention the additional encryption that any reputable bank's website/app will have. As was mentioned above, online banking with your phone truly is the safest way to bank online.

In regards to rooting, it is only as dangerous as you make it. If you root and then grant SU permissions to "Swe3T fREE BaBEs 4 U" app, you're probably asking for trouble. But I only grant SU to Quick Boot and SetCPU, and other legitimate applications that don't ask for more permissions than they require. Just don't be an idiot and you'll be fine! :D
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
So is there a near consensus now that it can be secure?

Any naysayers remain?
[EVO 4G General] vboyz103:
It's really your choice to use it or not all it comes down to. I am in the Information Security field and when you learned about how things work and how to get around them. It's scary!
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
Taking field bias in consideration, I'm looking for your insight on how to make it most secure or if it's really necessary to wait for further security measures.

There are ways to practice safe sex afterall..:D
[EVO 4G General] cjohnson:
i'm still not quite sure how sending data over a CDMA network is any more secure than any other means. i mean sure CDMA is encrypted to begin with; yes. on top of that, any banking you do should be encrypted with SSL at least. great. now you've got two layers of encryption/security there. the fact is though regardless if it's CDMA or SSL, you're still transmitting data out thru the open air where anything with an antenna can grab it. it doesn't really matter how encrypted the data is at this point, it's unsecure in that is is freely available with only an antenna. security is not really how secure the data is at the presentation layer, but how secure it is at the physical layer as well. ;)
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I have a very similar job to you. I used to think the same.

Thing is, getting around those things is possible, but less likely that most other ways. Getting a wallet or purse stolen is common. Handing your CC to a server at a restaurant or bar and not seeing what they do with it is pretty trusting, no? Bet we've all done that.

Do the best you can, and be watchful of your accounts. I bank on my phone with more confidence than I would have at Starbucks on wifi.
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
I've had my Evo since June 4th and finally decided that it's time to root it. I've seen too many ROMs out there I'd like to try.

But there's so much information on rooting now that I'm confused and don't know where to start. Can someone direct me to a definitive guide to rooting my Evo?

I'd like to focus backups in case I need to undo the root.

Thanks.

i was going to link the root and unroot guides for you but since i'm still in newb status it won't let me. :(
[EVO 4G General] Mundo <3 Sprint:
I'm a complete noob to the evo as well. I barely came from at&t 3 days ago, so everything is pretty much confusing compared to jailbreaking the iphone.
[EVO 4G General] SpaceMonky:
with unrevoked 3.21, rooting is very simple. it's about as simple as jailbreaking from what my friend tells me of doing it on his iphone.

i'm a newb to all this myself, i've had my evo for about a month and it's my first cellphone in 5 years. I just rooted with unrevoked 3.21 about a week ago. i wish i had done it sooner. it's not as scary as it seems and well worth it.
[EVO 4G General] Cerberus128:
How about the other way also

I hope I am not seen as hijacking your thread, but I am interested in a good guide to rooting AND would love to see solid info on the other way 'round. As in 'How to go back to COMPLETELY stock from Root'.

I am one of those that needs to know that there is a way back from any grey side. Even if it is somewhat remote that I would, it is comforting to know that I could and until i can feel comfortable that back to stock is relatively effortless or even possible, I guess I am stuck on the bland side.

Tons of great info in this thread, expecially the first post.
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
Cool! Tutorial videos are exactly what I was looking for--Thank you!
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
I'm going to root my phone tonight. The only thing that I'm still not clear on--and this may be just me not understanding the terminology but, at what point do you backup your original ROM in case I want to undo the root? Is this what's called a NAndroid backup? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Yea once you root and have the new recovery, nandroid back up will be in the menu. What it does it return the phone to the state it was when you ran the backup, everything, kernal, settings, homescreen, apps, etc. Its good to do if something goes wrong while flashing or tinkering around with a ROM and fudged it up.

I actually had to use nandroid earlier today, I wiped and flashed another rom and I forgot to backup my browser bookmarks a:cool:nd ADW settings using mybackup app. I used nandroid I had a week back and was able to restore to that point and run the back up again and back up ADW. Its a pain in the a-hole to have to manually redo 35 bookmarks and all my system and ADW settings.

If you need to unroot there are a handful of threads in the development section that explain how, I haven't done it but I think its just flashing a factory zip named PC(and some numbers).zip.
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
Yeah, but I'm talking about "before" you root. What if I need to get back to that? What's that called?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
You can't. You need a custom recovery to make image backups. The best you can do before you root is use MyBackupPro or something to back up your apps. However with Unrevoked 3.21 it's really not necessary. This is the first rooting method I've used that didn't wipe out your system and it was great :D Just follow the guide, you'll be rooted in 10 minutes and the only difference in you're phone will be you have root access. That's when you boot into recovery and make a nand backup of your system as it is. Save that one somewhere safe.

First I installed the spl, that went through without a hitch I downloaded everything, from the customRUU.exe, to radio 2.15, to a rom android sense, i tried flashing both not at the sametime changing them to RUU_signed.nbh, and when i run the ruu.exe it give me an error. When i try the other way, by changing them to LEOIMG.nbh and ptting it on my storage car, and shutting my phone off then turning it back on by holdong the volume button down with the power button all i get is the tri color screen with either serial or usb, nothing more, no image screen to continue, so i have to take out my battery and put it back in to restart my phone to normal. Im lost the process is very easy to do, but im having problem and i cant find anything in the forums to fix them nothing seems to be working. please help and sorry to be such a noob to this.

Also side note one user said i can us my tmobile rom, and radio, my current rom is like 3.14 and my current radio is higher the 2.08. just put android on my phone and run it. i put the folder in ran clrcad.exe, of course did nothing, then i ran haret.exe, it bootloaded to linux, now i phone is stuck on a blank screen with green htc lettering. I dont know why something so simple is giving me such a problem. I even looked at the vids on how to do, I did nothing different but no go.

Just curious, how long did you waited at the "green htc" screen. During first boot, it can take up to 20 minutes to create the data files needed. I have to be patient. That screen usually indicate that it is working.

another, which android build did you try?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldogauci:
You are probably almost there. When you get the green htc letters on the blank screen, that is probably the time the image file is being created. This can take a good 10 minutes (according to the size of the image file being created. Your phone may seem stuck but its working in the background. Just leave it as it is for at least 15 minutes. If it stays like that then there must be another problem.

hardspl

flash a custom rom

download an android build

drag and drop extracted android build to your storage card

select clrcad.exe and then haret.exe on your storage

How difficult is that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falustine:
I didnt change my rom, or my radio I kept them all original tmobile. My radio was already higher then 2.08, and my rom was the newest from tmobile 3.14. All I did was format the sd card, downloaded Mdeejay_eVo_Sense_v._2.0_REVOlution extracted it, moved it to the sd card and thats it. Clicked on clrcad, then haret and after about ten minute it worked. The only bad thing was i left my phone on with android running and I fell asleep, and woke up with a dead battery, i thought my phone bricked lol thank god the other way around.:cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apallohadas:
Now whatever you do, be sure to ignore anyone that tells you that it's your microsd card that's draining the battery. It's misinformation that's still be spread like it's 'The Android Gospel'.

Do yourself a favor and get SetCPU and CurrentWidget. There's a thread on SetCPU (google for it) and use the settings that you find there.

The most recent builds tend to not really need taskkiller, as 2.2 is pretty good at memory management.

For future help, it's best to post in the existing thread for whatever build you're using, instead of a OMFGHELPAAAaaaaa thread in the wrong place.

Hi bit of a beginners questions but how do a port an application from one rom to another.

A am currently running MicroMod's 2.5 Rom but the FM radio isn't as good as the one on Cyanogen so I thought I would install it on Micromods rom.

This is what I tried, open up the nighlty build of NC rom, went to system/apps and copied the fm.apk to my sdcard. Then I installed it using Astro in Micromods but when I try to use it I get force closes.

I suspect it different or missing ddls files but unsure were to look to find this out.

Any ideas
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nephron:
Im pretty sure the fm.apk is linked to the CM6 framework so it would only work on CM6 atm...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allofusjw:
I would also like to know the best way to do try to do this in general. Ive always wanted to put the browser from cm into an enom rom but the same thing happens as op said and it just fc's. If I were to use root explorer or 7zip to unzip the apk is there a specific place to look to see what other files need to be where in order for the apk to function properly?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwazi:
it's pretty complicated which is why people tend to avoid it. You basically need to copy the right sections of Cyanogen's framework code into MicroMod's framework.. and since I believe MicroMod's ROM is based on HTC, that would involve some disassembly (look into smali/baksmali), but that would require some knowledge of assembly language.

It's a LOT of work, and a lot of testing (and swearing.. haha). Hate to discourage you.. but if anyone knows of a better (and more feasible) way I would love to hear it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
I honestly doubt it's possible. CyanogenMod uses the MIUI method for the FM radio, which is most likely completely different than HTC's proprietary method. Kwazi is right though, it lies deep within the framework.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
Hi There!

I believe that in order to load these ROMs in this thread, you need to "root" the phone, but I don't see a sticky that explains how to do it?

Also is it like with Windows Mobile phones that you need a separate radio rom to the OS ROM?

Thanks in advance for any advice?

I take it the official update for Froyo for the i9000 isn't released yet? Is this something that happens automatically over the air or you need to initiate it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
Why so sucky thread title?

What do you mean? No roms in this thread ;p

Btw most ROMs in this subforum are already rooted and while ur current ROM is overwritten (being either rooted or not) in the flashing process... Ur device becomes rooted after flashing most of them. For more detailed information go to ROM's threads.

Root is kernel-related thing, so I dont get ur point.

Hi There!

I may be using the wrong terminology, I am looking for flash proedures for the ROM's in this forum. I thought the process of applying those roms required you to root the phone before use (like hardspl for winmo roms).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
Refer to each rom's thread.

Full stock leaked firmwares come in .tar packages, flashed by Odin.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tp2me:
hey guys.. i'm almost ready to post a video on this.. haven't had luck with any help so i am reposting with what i've done.

I need info on what could have went wrong or a point out on a possible step i missed.

I uninstalled sync, phone is charge only, I checked multiple times to make sure boot loader was installed.. the only weird thing with that is when i hit volume down and power into bootloader mode I only have 4 options and not the fifth bottom option that i am supposed to select as shown in the few videos posted.

The root program goes through.. the phone sits there and reboots like 2 or 3 times and the program looks good.. then the one last thing where it says r****** into recovery then the phone goes into recovery the the program on the computer says done. The phone runs through steps.. then last step in recovery it says varifying system type and then has a list

E: unsupported radio version..

E: i forget..

something about sim card..

failure

on the phone it says super users is on there.. so i did titanium backup and tried to run it and it said root not found. lol this is supposed to be easy guys what am I missing???

Your not alone. I experienced the same. Unrevoked my newly arrived desire (orig. 2.2 Sept. 2010 release).

SU was installed and I can access all dir (r only) but have no rights deleting system apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
You don't have the exact same problem, what you have is a working Unrevoked root which gives you only read access when booted and r/w access when in recovery. If you want to delete system apps while booted try this, reed it carefully and understand the risks off what your gone do. (If you however S-off your CDMA Desire with Unrevoked i said nothing)

Sorry about the first problem, don't know how to solve that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temiatwork:
Thanks for the reply and I stand corrected. It is a working Unrevoked (thanks to those guys) but I don't want to s-off my desire atm.

I did the process assuming that given SU privileges would allow me r-w access to the system/app dir.

One other thing, titanium backup does not run saying the phone is not rooted. It is really the issue of doing S-OFF which I want to postpone for now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
unrevoked is a "soft root" or "shell root" it dosent allow write access to /system/ while the device is booted, this is because the bootloader has certain security measures built in, when you security unlock your bootloader "s-off" the bootloader is tricked into ignoring these security flags, giving you full write access to your device :)
