This is my first contribution, so I apologize if it's in the wrong place. This seemed like the spot to put it...

Garmin Mobile XT 5.0.xx when used with newer high res devices has really tiny vehicle icons. It worked great with QVGA, but not so much with WVGA. I looked all over and couldn't find any large vehicle icons. Lots of custom vehicles, cars and odd things. But no arrows large enough to see. Anyways, I found a utility on the internet to convert .srf (Vehicle Icons) to .png and back. http://techmods.net/nuvi/ So I took the stock blue arrow and enlarged it. Just the 2D arrow, 3D is untouched. Sorry, I'm not skilled enough to do the 3D arrow. :o

Unzip the attached file and place the "Large Arrow.srf" file in the "Storage Card\Garmin\Vehicle" folder. That's it. Open Garmin Mobile XT go to "settings\map\vehicle" and select the second blue arrow. (The first one should be the stock arrow.) Once you select it, the vehicle arrow should be quite a bit larger.

This looks perfect on my HD2 and my Tilt2.

I know this isn't much, but it's the only way I have to give back to this community!

How do I take out the time on the notification bar?

With a widget that has a clock/time on it, the time on the notification bar seems pretty useless.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
LOL, with the time in the notification bar, widgets with that info are useless ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayprime:
I'm pretty sure you can not take take that clock out. I think a bunch of the system stuff runs from that clock.

Friends don't let friends flash drunk...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyDoan:
Well I have the TypoClock widget where it shows the time AND date. The notification bar only shows the time (date if you pull down notification bar), but I'd rather have just the widget.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henreeg:
Have you tried using a different Launcher?

Launcher Pro allows you to hide the notification bar.

Another attempt at cross-platform messaging, except this one may actually take off. They use the whole PIN number thing like BBM does. It has picture/file transfers, integrated twitter and facebook, customizable profiles, and PUSH NOTIFICATIONS.

Currently only in Beta and for Android but iOS and BB OS6 releases should be pretty soon.

My PIN is LPW8X4VZ if anyone gets bored and wants to talk!

Why should I use this over Yahoo messenger or something similar?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
IMO, it seems to be a lot more feature rich then any IM client around. And since it isn't based on an email address, not every Tom, ****, and Harry can get ahold of your email and spam you or share your personal details.

QUICK NOTE FOR EVERYONE,

OK people,

IM MAKING THIS VERY CLEAR.

You can NOT < again NOT LOAD PC36IMG.zip before you root and flash. The batch file is wrong.

STOP TRYING TO FLASH THE PC36IMG.zip FIRST.

You need to ROOT and flash the misc with MTD-ENG.IMG.

You CAN NOT flash PC36IMG.zip before you do that if you DONT do that first you WILL RUN INTO MAIN VER OLDER ERROR.

Im making my tool, i bug test the hell out of it it will be released soon. Im tired i was up all freaking day and night and now im up all day again..

PC36IMG flash fails

Mine says "Main version older" and fails to flash PC36IMG. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Hmm mybe i linked to wrong PC36IMG.zip im reloading and relocking S-OFF and repeating instructions one min.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
More likely he got a bad flash. Downloading for the 4th time got a different MD5 everytime none correct. Any chance of hosting it somewhere more reliable?

***4th times a charm got a good copy. Check you MD5 hashes save some troubleshooting

****Same thing main version is older. Update failing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Why update to this from .76 or .79?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6uPMAH:
Trying to load eng-PC36IMP.zip and no-go. Is the hosting server down or is it just too busy with others downloading it? Maybe we need a couple of fast mirrors?

UPDATE: after about 2-3 minutes of trying to connect, finally downloading... We'll see in a minute whether it works or not. Keeping my fingers crossed; was up until 2 AM EST trying every other method out there. :eek:

UPDATE2: got the "Main version is older!" message. Motherf....
[EVO 4G Android Development] czz7661:
I was able to download it fine, md5 checksum matches, unfortunately it's also telling me main version older.

some of us have phones that came out of the box with hboot at 2.02.0000... cant be rooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgildoss:
my radio is at 2.15.00.09.01... wonder what everyone else is at ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] danh18:
well??

does it work or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mortalscan:
no...not for me it didnt
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6uPMAH:
No go here. Got the "Main Version is older!" message when loading the PC36IMG.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] danh18:
Main version older...

could we possibly get past this error message by taking a ROOTED version of 3.30 (the .zip file version) re-naming it pc36img.zip and flashing that?

Since its not actually "older" but the same version, could this get us past this hurdle?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
Think we will just have to wait for OP to link the proper pc36img.zip . Hope he didn't run into problems. Been a while since he said he was going to try relocking and unlocking. Thanks for working on it though I'm still hopeful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Nope just went to sleep.

Relocked it again. Going through the steps. Mybe i missed a step so one sec.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
pc36img md5 was wrong for me on the first download, trying again :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] mortalscan:
how do you know what is the wrong and right one ?..

I just download the one on the first post
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
hmmm. Nothing says Rev3 or 4. I know my hardware version said 0003.

The top line in hboot says Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
According to your instructions, I shouldn't have run it yet. Checking for root is the step right before running recovery-windows.bat

EDIT: I went ahead and ran the rest of the way through, flashed unrevoked-forever.zip and rebooted. Stuck at white HTC flash. Someone in another thread suggested renaming the RUU to PC36IMG.zip and flashing that through bootloader, which works fine for getting my phone working again, but it is still unrooted and can't flash ROMs. The bootloader stays S-OFF. Any ideas? (other than just running the RUU, to try to start completely over with an S-On bootloader, which is what I am trying next)
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
so if you flash the 3.30 ruu....you still have s-off right?

you should have the stock recovery at that point...so if you flash one of the recovery pc36img.zip from the other thread that should give you a non stock recovery...(clockwork or amon_ra)

what if you try to flash steelrom or fresh after that? or even the stock rooted ruu....what happens?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
I get this:

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/lsmod
E:Failure at line 10:
symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/lsmod

stock rooted ruu is what I have been trying. I'll DL fresh and try also, if you think it would help...but it would be the third I'd tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
nah i was just currious....but you said you can flash the stock ruu (can you flash it using the ruu utility) and use the unrooted one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
Nah, I can't use the rooted ruu...it throws the same error.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
can you flash the unrooted stock ruu using the ruu utility?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Well your just in luck to test the software.

Im uploading now..
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
Well maybe this will help me too, I get an error when trying to flash a custom rom from Clockwork recovery. Are you going to post a link in the OP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
Yes. It doesn't change hboot. BTW. I also tried Dan's method. The pc36img.zip flashed fine, amon ra installed fine, everything went fine....until I tried to reboot, and it would get past the HTC white splash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Yes it will be in the original post.

Sorry file is kinda large includes everything that you need.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
So, if I already have s-off, how should I use this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
If you already have S-OFF run it from the begining, start to finish.

It will not hurt the phone to run unrevoked-forever again.

I suggest doing it from start to finish just so it includes all steps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Link FOR THE SOFTWARE IS ON FIRST POST.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
Oh noes... it says "Can't find HTC EVO device... Root Failed". It's stuck on the HTC screen with the 4 triangles in the corner. What should I do from here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
4 Triangles in the corner ?

Did it do everything else successful?

Load stock ruu and start again.

Make sure you have drivers installed.

Thats the one thing it will check for.. It will not just randomly start anything. it looks for the phone first. Check drivers.

Reboot phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dynamicpda:
I'm reading these posts to understand before I do S-OFF and HBoot downgrade on my own phone...

"Load stock ruu and start again." Does that mean do a hard reset? At this point, there is probably not a recovery ROM installed.

Does a hard reset kill the RSA keys?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Basically it was sucesfull at rooting your phone and should have flashed the misc-mtd.img.

It failed because it rebooted you to fastboot, then booted you to htc ruu. then either your pc didnt have drivers or there wasnt enough time for it before it checked if the phone was ready or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
dynamicpda,

he should actually be able to just reset the phone and it should boot fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
what are the chances of losing data so far with this? trying to avoid the need to reinstall all my apps if possible.

might be waiting a bit for this method to mature, or for unrevoked to update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
This is what I look like. I'm running the stock ruu from my pc because even after a battery pull it still looks like this
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
So for curiosities sake what is it doing in regard to downgrading the Hboot? How does it work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
this has me worried about the step where it downgrades hboot...
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
ok flashing the stock RUU brought me back to life. Going to try the app again
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

I find that werid that you were not able to pull from htc bootloader mode.

The program never flashed anything to the device that would be harmful.

The first step of the program is to upload files, reboot phone, run root, if root was a success reboot phone into fastboot, reboot to bootloader.

If its found then load eng-PC36IMG.zip, once that is done it sends the cmd to reset phone. Waits for a 35 secs, reboot's phone to recovery, push's recovery files. Then runs modified recovery with unrevoked-forever.zip waits 4-5 secs reboot' phone. Then reports Success!

Downgrading the Hboot is for people who want to try it.

All it does is write a patch hboot of 2.02.0001 to the phone.

Then writes the original Hboot .76.2000 to the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

If it does it again, type this cmd.

fastboot oem reset

It will reset the phone and see if it boots.

Please paste HW Version and Hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
I have tried 3 times now with the new app, i hit free my phone and my phone restarts completely while the sprint animation logo is going it tries running the exploit and rooting and then says root failed am i doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
same here.

i noticed in device manager my evo took a while to show up.

going to try installing the drivers again from the bootloader
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastercolin:
I'm a little worried about trying this out... Noone has had success yet and i'm worried about what needs to be done to fix it if it breaks. Whats the worst that happens and how hard is it to "YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO INSTALL A ROM WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY AND WITH .76 HBOOT OR YOU WILL BE STUCK IN FAST BOOT."?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
yeah, drivers are fine, keeps rebooting completely after checking for root
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
Tried again with the drivers and redid the entire process still rebooting completely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
4th time with new drivers and a reboot of pc. Nothin' doin :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheNexxuvas:
I'm debating on whether to Run the stock RUU and then reroot using this method all over again. I used original method 3 and everything was great until I tried to connect to 4G...I got the infinate Scanning and no actual connection. My mac address and rsa keys are all intact according to all the 4g lost threads but infinate scanning when I'm standing under a 4G repeater antenna in my store location is just plain stupid, specially when all other devices show connected.

Gonna give myself a few hrs because honestly, I customed the heck out of my phone in my own secret way and doing that all over again just to get 4G fixed doesn't sound fun but 4G is 4G and is awesome and I hate to miss out on something I promote and use everyday myself at work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
the methods are so similar its silly...infact the method in my thread came from this thread. the files are the same....did you upgrade your radios?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
The problem is when the software checks for the htc device. Each computer will affect the timing. This is why I said it's beta. Im going to change a few things and see if it will help you guys out. Im going to need a tester as I don't have the evo. Anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheNexxuvas:
I did, and reflashed them before I put a stock custom rom on and pulled everything off the rom to make it lean and clean outside of the 5 core apps I use I did not update them after the rom flash, didn't think I needed to, and now just wondering if a flash after the rom install wouldn't set me right again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
i'd be willing to check out the update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
well .... the app worked for me and I have a rev 003 evo i purchased late october. This is what I found out worked for me. I originally had CM6.1 RC1 installed and I tried running the app with CM installed. I used my desktop running Windows 7 x64. I ran into the error after it pushed the exploits it couldn't find the phone. So just to make sure it wasn't windows 7 x64 I switched it over to my laptop running windows 7 x86 and everything just ran smoothly. Could it be that the 64 bit version of windows runs into some errors with the drivers? *Shurg* but it worked. Oh and after It failed with my CM6.1 mod installed, I reflashed with the stock RUU running 3.29 from the wiki on this forum. Everything worked thanks ama :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
BTW I did put a link to this in my post
[EVO 4G Android Development] mortalscan:
Okay so abit confused ....

Do i have to do this ?

The Downgrade Hboot button will downgrade the hboot but might throw a error..

YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO INSTALL A ROM WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY AND WITH .76 HBOOT OR YOU WILL BE STUCK IN FAST BOOT.

i want to run armon recovery and CM6.1 rc1 ....
[EVO 4G Android Development] dinkoh:
Still S-ON, after using your program. It seems my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore after running your Evo 2.02 program. Downgrade HBOOT doesn't work for me, just goes to a blank screen. Had to hard reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
I can tell you I did have to reflash my ROM after running the HBoot downgrade. It wouldn't let me nandroid restore my backup either. I was however able to reinstall Fresh right over the top. Just wiped cache and reflashed it. At that point I was able to boot and everything seems to be back in order. But in short yes it is going to make you boot into recovery and reflash your ROM. Good luck with CM if you have one of the newer phones. For myself and others the camera isn't working in roms with custom kernels. CM being one of them.

**Also I had to run the Hboot downgrade three times before it took. The last time it finally worked I ran it with the phone booted to recovery. Don't know if that was the difference. The first two times it would install the patch then reboot and the app would be stuck at waiting for phone. The phone would reboot but the app would never kick off the second push to actually downgrade it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
is there any reason to run the hboot downgrade if you're running the factory rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
The reason to downgrade hboot 2.02 to .76 is, well for my personal reason, that certain custom roms only work with hboot .76. For example, the stable version of Cyanogenmod 6 requires the eng hboot .76 version. If you don't downgrade and use the 2.02 hboot and you want to run Cyanogenmod, then the CM 6.1 versions are the only versions that can run on the new hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] robollama:
the app reboots my phone and at the Sprint 4g screen it tries running the exploit and ends up saying "root failed" :,(
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
it happened to me too. Once I flashed to a stock RUU it worked perfectly. I used the stock 3.29 RUU
[EVO 4G Android Development] dynamicpda:
Please keep us up informed on how this works out for you. I'm wary of losing 4G during the S-OFF process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
well, turns out the Hboot Downgrade doesn't work. Once I hit the button, it reboots the bootloader, takes it into fastboot usb if I remember correctly, then the next screen that pops up on my evo is a black screen with htc in the middle. The app states Can't find HTC Evo device .... root failed. I do have all the proper drivers installed I don't know what gives. After I flashed with the first step in the app, I reloaded a rooted 2.2 version with amon_ra recovery, the latest version 1.80. Still no go. Can't downgrade hboot. Very frustrating :p

Also, everything seems to be working fine with drivers, I have no problem logging into shell under adb... When I get the htc screen, I unplug the usb cable and it takes me to the hboot menu, the only option I have is RUU highlighted in orange. I'd post an image but I can't post images until I get full account privileges lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Ill say it again, the APP Is beta.

It works flawless on my machine, why you ask? Because all the timers were set for my machine. Im going to see if swapping out the cmds real quick will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
***ALSO SIDE NOTE***

If you dont know what downgrading the HBoot is for or dont feel comfortable doing it, then simply DONT DO IT.

It's not REQUIRED.
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
Understand that the app is Beta, and I can honestly say I really appreciate all your efforts. If you need someone to test your new updates let me know i'm willing to "sacrifice" my evo lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dynamicpda:
amoamare, what windows version are you using to develop this app?

and what windows versions do people with problems have?
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
i'm running 32 bit windows 7. I was previously using my 64bit desktop with win7 and ran into errors with step 1 of the app. Soon as I tried it on my 32bit laptop, the first step worked flawlessly. I'm stuck on step 2 with the downgrade of the Hboot. I get to a point where it can't find the device after it sends the reboot command for the bootlaoder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aegiswa:
To be sure I understand -

I can perform step 1 of you app, skip step 2 -

And then I'll be rooted, and then be able to load a custom (or have a stock rooted) ROM like Fresh that uses the hboot 2.02?

Will it have a custom recovery loaded after step 1? Just curious..

Thanks for all your hard work!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
I need someone who is awake and ready to test out some things, I dropped wait timers, i realized something when i was at the movies, adb lets me wait for device.. WTF was i thinking..
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
i'll be awake until I get .76 hboot lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Ok so now what im doing is placing a waitforexit(timer) this will now run the command to wait for the device up to 1 min, if it doesn't detect it by 1 min it will then fail.
