[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@XLOL:
Thats funny because just the other day I figured sense the Evo is similar to the HD2 and the HD7 and they run windows 7 is it possible to make a rom that will port windows 7 OS to the Evo...Just a thought, I really like the OS and I want to at lest try it...BTW there not going to be a W7 phone on sprint for some time...What do you guys think? :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
This might not be too bad of an idea. Have any of you nay-sayers actually used a WP7 device? I would bet no. It's not a phone that could replace my EVO, but the interface is kinda cool. It would be neat to dual boot WP7 - just because. It saves you from having to buy an expensive WP7 to use it infrequently. I think it's a cool idea, but I don't think there is support for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfecteagle:
I would also love to see this idea come around, more as another ROM for our phones than anything else, just because I would like to try the interface and I like the idea of having Xbox LIVE on my phone, as well as having a choice of OS's, like Sense and AOSP. Maybe someone out there would like to contribute some time to this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbetts:
Windows 7, no. The NT kernel is x86/x64.

Windows Phone 7, technically it meets the requirements, but that's what the HD7 and other WP7 phones are for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfecteagle:
Windows Phone 7, of course. The title of this thread is a little off (Sorry OP). And yes, while we could all certainly go buy Windows Phone 7 devices, why would we do so if our EVOs that we already have are more than capable of handling it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbetts:
In terms of specs, the Evo meets the requirement. But there is no other way right now to flash a different OS on the Evo like there was in the case of the HD2 booting Android. There is a tablet coming out or is already out that can dual boot Android and WindowsCE6. So we might be able to find something from that if anything comes out of it. But it wouldn't do any good right now even if WP7 was running on the Evo, you need the genuine Windows phone services, which the HD2 doesn't have since it's not a certified Windows 7 phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfecteagle:
You can flash Ubuntu to the EVO, I would define that as a different OS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbetts:
Ubuntu is also a unix based linux OS like Android. Windows 7 Phone isn't. You're not really flashing Ubuntu on there either, you're really just loading it onto the SD card like you would for Android on the HD2. There were and are tools available for WinMo 6.5 to boot linux on that device and other WinMo devices, but nothing like that for Android devices to boot up CE kernels and OS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Simple answer:

Not going to happen.

Why?

Android is open. The devs can modify the source to tailor it to a device. Windows Mobile and iOS are not.[/thread]
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
There won't ever be a worthwhile WP7 port unless you can remove the stick from M$'s butt, because as Team DFT put it "Microsoft's Genuine Software check will basically disable all cloud based services like Zune, Marketplace and Xbox Live if the system can't pull a valid key from the handset's motherboard."

Which means, if your device wasn't pre-loaded with WP7, WP7 won't work on your device. Now they have ported it to other phones, and run it, calls, ect. They just can't access the materials that make WP7 what it is.

So you will need to expect to buy and install a mod chip in your Evo to trick a future WP7 port into thinking your phone is a WP7 phone, or you will need to accept the fact that no phone other than a WP7 phone will be able to fully utilize the software.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] bradleyG:
Is it just me or does it seem like our games on android just aren't that great? Maybe its because the devs are just more into making other apps rather than making games. I don't know though. I love android but i wish we would take a step forward in the fun section along with everything else were on top of (:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sold1erjjt:
Totally know what you mean. I think one of the problems is that it is hard to be noticed in the Android Market especially compared to the App store, which (if you haven't used) is fluttered with directories that are easy to use and great way to find app that will work for you (I.E. Genius, top 25, etc). As well it is ton easier to pirate games on Android, which scare off developers. If only Google could rework their Market to work...better.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bradleyG:
I understand that Haha im against pirating for that reason and for the reason that the devs put in a lot of time and work to make these apps. But that's one thing about android that i like is the ability to install non market applications, at least with a rooted phone. But i mean you get the same thing with the iphone and jailbreaking. And i do think android needs a more efficient way of promoting apps in different areas (i.e. Games, business, social, etc.).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] avgjoegeek:
... Just as easy to pirate Apple as it is Android. If you jail break your iPhone you can load pirated games just as easy.

And I think dev's like iTunes better because once you bought it... it's yours - none of this "oh, I don't like it so I'm going to uninstall it though I already have the *.apk file on my SDCard before I do" bs.

The Android market needs to become a little more "dev friendly" and not allow people to get that refund so easily. On the flip side Google/Android will need to be a little more big brother and scrutinize the applications being released.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
There need to be incentives to developing good games for Android, IMO. The platform is more than adequate, but the hardware is also differentiated. A guy with a Backflip isn't going to get the same experience with NFS Shift as a guy with a Captivate. Where Apple only lets you download apps to _hardware qualified_ devices, the Android Market doesn't do that. Until there's more control over the Market and platform capabilities, it's going to scare off devs. All I really want to see is Netflix for Android. That would make me supremely happy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bradleyG:
The netflix idea is good and i agree there needs to be limitations based on hardware and which version of android you have. I thinks that's what is going to happen when gingerbread comes out though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hjvad:
Hi,

I am running FroYo on custom board developed for multimedia tablet. I am using sdcard as an external storage but I also want to use USB pen drive for external storage. Adding rules in vold.fstab, both sdcard and USB drives are being mounted but Gallery application only shows the contents of sdcard. This is because EXTERNAL_STORAGE is set to mount point of sdcard in init.rc file.

I fount from MountService.java code that Android doesn't support multiple volumes. But I came to know from internet that Samsung Galaxy is using two sdcards, one as an internal (not removable) and other as an external.

Anybody knows, hack to use both external media and get both detected by Gallery application?

Does anyone know, about vold.fstab and init.rc tweaking for Samsung Galaxy.

I am not even able to use internal storage? Do you know, how to enable internal storage? which configurations are required?

Thanks,

Ram

I tried restoring a nandroid backup after flashing a different ROM (which didn't work) and now my phone won't get past the White Evo 4G screen. Help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
Also, I'm using Clockwork and had previously done a factory reset (for the new ROM)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campchi:
Try install a different Rom and see if it will noot, also check to make sure the cache are clear before perform a nand restore. Maybe you need to clear it a few times before doing the nand restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
I think I figured it out. My other backups were restoring but not this one (earlier today I couldn't download something because my phone was out of memory). I think what happened was the backup wasn't complete because it ran out of space (which would explain why it also finished "restoring" in a matter of seconds).

...ugh, time to redo a weeks worth of customizing :P

Thanks though, I'll definitely keep those in mind for next time :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamicpda:
I've been happily flashing the HTC Hero for a year, almost every few days in the past few months, so I am comfortable with the basics of messing with the phone.

I'm planning to get an Evo this week and will mess with it almost immediately.

One of the caveats I came across in my research is the importance of nand backing up the stock rom, in particular to save the wimax RSA keys. Backing up is always recommended but the caution for the sake of the keys isn't highlighted in the few documents of the wiki I've read.

Are there any other caveats I should keep in mind before I embark on unstocking the Evo?

TIA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campchi:
You don't need to nand backup the whole Rom, you can just backup the wimax partition to keep the RSA key.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamicpda:
Thanks for the clarification on that.

Is there anything else you would advise me to be aware about?

[Fascinate Android Development] wasupwithuman:
EDIT: Well just found out it is limited to a short.....Which is around 32 seconds.... So 32 seconds is the max you will have. :(

FILES AVAILABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

Ok after going through a lot of lines of code and i mean a lot, I give you all

Extended Soft Key Backlight (15 seconds to be exact)

If using a theme with a white status/notification bar (bubby's rom) then i would wait till i make this custom for it... This will give you white text in the status/notification bar.

I am using JT's clean rom and it works fine.

If something happens to your phone.... NOT MY FAULT

Now for the release

1. MAKE A BACKUP (JUST IN CASE)

2. INSTALL THE MOD OF YOUR CHOICE (10 SECONDS,15 SECONDS, OR 32 SECONDS (WHICH IS MAX)) WITH THE "APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP" OPTION IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

3. WIPE DALVIK CACHE IN THE "ADVANCED" MENU IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. IF YOU DO NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE YOU WILL NOT GET THE UPDATE

4. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FASCINATE THAT HAS 15 SECONDS OF SOFT KEY BACKLIGHT!

5. It will take awhile to boot (1-2 mins.), so don't be worried :)

I plan on adding different versions of this, 10 seconds, and a really long time one... If I get enough requests.

Time to get some sleep now.
