Okay so I'm using the uprooted Evo 4g but I would like to know if I should root my device or not. Someone please help
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Don't root unless you have a reason to.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
If your asking if you should root then IMHO just walk away and forget you even Sen this board

some place in the world !!!!
[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
My advice on this is . Figure out why you want to root in the first place . You want to load custom roms or tweak the OS thats fine . Wanna try out Setcpu and other apps like that go for it . Most important read everything there is to read about rooting . The different ways to get root , most importantly how to remove root in the event you have to bring your phone back for repairs or an exchange . Several threads have been "stickey'd" in regards to rooting explaining terms and so forth . Me personally I have rooted my phone and never looked back . Especially with Myrn and his recently Rom RLS3 . Simply amazing rom I honestly dont think I will flash anything else since having this . But in the end its your choice and what you feel comfortable with . I really really strongly push , reading all the info you can find first though
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Most important thing is to know the risk involved. Do all the reading, then read some more. Don't just root because you heard it was a good idea, root because there's something specific you're looking to gain by rooting. If you feel that stock is fine for you and meets your needs, don't root.

If you do decide to root, read the misconceptions sticky. Someone posted a set of questions there that you should be comfortable answering before you attempt root. If you can't answer the questions, you're not ready to root.

In other words, if your phone works for you, then stay unrooted.

FWIW, I decided to root to get rid of all the Sprint apps.
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
My evo was plain boring and bogged down by all the Sprint bloatware and Sense UI. Now that I'm rooted I get better battery life a faster phone and everything tweaked and set just how I like. I highly recommend rooting for everyone interested in it, Especially with the EVO the process is so simple and basic.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I could not imagine not having a rooted phone. I rooted my Hero and my Evo I would not want an unrooted phone.
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
Why? I'm not trying to be a jerk out troll. I just want to know why you say that. Giving some reasons or what you perceive as benefits of rooting may help the OP decide.
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
How about the ability to tether for free? How about the ability to remove unwanted apps? How about being able to get better battery life through underclocking or custom undervolted kernels? It's your device, so why would you not choose to gain ultimate control via root access? The only reason to not root, is the voiding of the warranty, but that's not reason enough for me.
[EVO 4G General] amartyca:
Root or get off the pot!
[EVO 4G General] skennedy843:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DJZager:
I started this project to get an appreciation for all the work that goes into a theme. Mission accomplished.

I decided that this thread would be better suited for themers who are looking to make their themes more complete but don't have the time to go searching through decompiled apks looking for values. I hope this helps. Need me to be more specific, just post and I'll update the thread as I can.

Thanks to:

Myn -- Letting me contribute to his project, and ending my ROM flashing addiction.

JsChiSurf -- Continuing to answer my questions, this guy does absolutely amazing work.

Rujeluss22 -- Pointing me in the right direction when I first started

Manup456 -- The man whose theme I've loved since I first saw it and made me want to theme.

GIMPSTA -- Author of HTC_IME_Mod online kitchen, thank you for showing me what I was missing.

HtcDialer -- for clarity, when I speak of the dialer I am talking about the keypad that you see when you open the phone application. In order to completely change the look and feel of the keypad you must make changes to (3) different apk's: HtcDialer.apk, Phone.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk.

HtcDialer.apk filepath: /res/values/styles.xml and the incall screen dialer keypad is in Phone.apk filepath: /res/values-hdpi/styles.xml.

Inside the xml you are looking for (3) blocks of code.

<style name="text_style_dialer_button_number">
<style name="text_style_dialer_button_alphabet">
<style name="text_style_dialer_button_zero_number">

In these blocks of code you will be looking for lines like:

<item name="android:textColor">#ff00cc00</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#00000000</item>

(Note: if you are editing a completely stock dialer it may have @color[some stuff] instead of #[AARRGGBB] )

This should help you get a grasp of where all the icons are located.

Some more pictures of Warm 2.2 dialer:

HTC_IME -- This is by far the more difficult of the two projects that I have taken on. I have always loved the HTC_IME_mod and now hopefully you themers out there can do your magic on the original apk.

Some pictures:

The PNG editing in this application was by far the easiest part. All of the icons for this are in drawable-hdpi. All of the keys that we are concerned with are saphire_somename.

I had originally thought that the colors would be controlled by /res/values/styles.xml. This is not the case. Thanks to GIMPSTA, all you need to edit is:

HTC_IME/com/htc/android/htcime/ezsip/KeyboardView.smali

HTC_IME/com/htc/android/htcime/ezsip/Port20KeySIPView.smali

look for: Primary Color -->

const/high16 v6, -0x100
replace with: const v6, 0xAARRGGBB

Alt Color -->

const v6, -0x888889
replace with: const v6, 0xAARRGGBB

Tertiary Color -->

const/4 v6, -0x1

Make sure to comment out any line that is invoking a shadow layer.

So

invoke-virtual {v10, v6, v7, v8, v9}, Landroid/graphics/Paint;->setShadowLayer(FFFI)V

would become

#invoke-virtual {v10, v6, v7, v8, v9}, Landroid/graphics/Paint;->setShadowLayer(FFFI)V

If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I hope this helps you themers out there with your todo lists.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Thx - I succesfully edited the dialer and htcframework - do you know which values i need to edit for the incall screen dialer? Maybe values are only different since I`m on DHD - but they should be basically the same.

My best gues are these entries:

<style name="TextAppearance.DialerLine1" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.Button">

<item name="android:textSize">32.0sp</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>

<item name="android:textColor">@color/dialer_button_text</item>

</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.DialerLine2" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.Button">

<item name="android:textSize">18.0sp</item>

<item name="android:textColor">@color/dialer_button_text</item>

Edit - unfortunatly HTC changed a lot with the latest Sense version, so this does not work on DHD...

Could u provide line numbers for the applicable lines of code in smali to designate exactly where u mean? ...at least for Stock APKs?

PS. I dont mean the ". Line #", but the actual line # the given code can be found.

I'm looking at KeyboardView.smali ....and sh*t is it daunting! Don't see "const/high16 ,v6 -0x100" (plaese don't tell me they change Luke m10's, lol!

Edit: well atleast I finally remembered that Linux provides a search option ...making things a bit easier, lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
K, I just used my search function to check every instance of;

"const/high16"

to find;

"const/high16 v6, -0x100"

...and i assure u it does not exist in either 'KeyboardView.smali' or 'Port20KeySIPView.smali' in my copy of HTC_IME.apk. Neither does 'const ,v6'. The closest I've found was;

"const/high16 v0, 0x100".

It is a 'Trace' version tho. Could that be it?

Please, share your experience if you have.
[Desire General] ste1164:
There are many trusted websites for unlocking your desire. Find one and check its valid. If it is they ask four your imei and some money. After a while you get your unlock code. You put the sin that the desire doesn't support in your phone and it will ask for an unlock code. Input your code and your done :)
[Desire General] spile:
Avoid the websites. I had nothing but grief with them. Simply ring the phone operator that the phone is locked to and request an unlock code. in the UK they have to give you this but will charge around £15. This is what I did with my locked to "3" Desire. Now unlocked after a 5 minute call.
