I really dont wanna lose root, but if an ota will turn my phone into a sack biting snake... Im in!

It's called 2.3 because that's how many seconds it takes to get over your excitement after you install it.

[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
Yes, thank Jesus. Some people (such as myself) like sense. You can easily find a ROM without sense, such as CM6, or even one of the few pure AOSP roms out there. You don't need a ****ty bloatware UI to remove their "amateur attempt", you just need to know how to root your device.

Also, updates would not come a whole lot faster, where are you getting this from? The Moment had nothing but stock Android and it was still a while after the N1 before the Moment got 2.1. The Hero was only a few weeks behind the Moment.

It's not sense that holds up updates, contrary to ignorance on these forums. The EVO was in testing well before the 2.1 update came out for the Hero, meaning there was already a sense for 2.1 Hell, they are probably already working on one for 2.3 and 3.0. When a phone launches, it's usually been in existence for a good 6 months. Sure there are tweaks and bugs to find, but it's pretty much done well before launch.

Again, look at Samsung. The Intercept still doesn't have 2.2, and it's version of Touch Wiz is hardly as encompassing as Sense.

HTC isn't some small time dev. They are a global smartphone provider.

The only phone that's going to get updates right away is whatever "Google" phone is out.

And Finally, why are you worried about getting updates? Aren't you a member of this community? Is your phone not rooted? I was on Froyo well before the official release, as were many others. Why should it matter how often Sprint and HTC put an "official" release out? There are always leaks here anyway.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Hmmm, let's see, what's easier? Pulling the AOSP source and working out hardware related software issues (drivers, etc); or, pulling the AOSP source, updating the skin/overlay software as well as the hardware related software issues? Is there really a argument?

As for as dealing with custom software, etc. What about 99% of everyone else? What about not having to dealing with it at all?
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
You're looking at this like HTC is a dev on these forums, which they aren't. HTC has access to a lot of resources from Google that make these things easier, as well as God knows how many people working on just sense.

Maybe I was a bit hasty in saying it's not a reason updates get delayed. I'm sure it plays into it, but it's hardly a major reason. Again, look at the Moment as a prime example. It has nearly the exact same internals as the Intercept, but will not be getting 2.2 at all. Why? Because of some UI that can't be updated? No, it's a Samsung decision not to update it because they want to sell the Intercept which does not have an AMOLED screen and probably costs a hell of a lot less to produce.

Updates are at the mercy of the manufacturer and the carrier, the UI overlays have very little to do with it. Using the devs in this forum as an example, look how many people were able to port themes over from 2.1 sense to 2.2. One person was able to do most of them in a few days. That to me tells me that the changes from 2.1 to 2.2 in sense were't that major, and a company like HTC wouldn't have any problem pushing out a new update a few days after it were available from Google if they actually wanted to. The fact is, they don't. You don't sell more devices by constantly updating your old ones. I highly doubt even the EVO will get anything past 2.3 officially. By then the next generation will be out and they will want you to buy that one instead.

As far as everyone else and custom software, most people I know like sense. When I show them CM6 they tell me it's ugly or boring. Anecdotal I know, but I would be willing to bet that if you gave the average person a complete run down of AOSP Android and sense, most of them would pick sense.
[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:
Thanks for your post Isaacrccl. I dont doubt one bit he saw someone with 2.3 because I'm sure someone is testing it somewhere. Its sad to think with all the truly smart people on this site sometimes they forget what it was like to have only 20 posts. I for one am glad you asked the question and all the jerk-offs that made fun of you are sad and immature with nothing better to do on a saturday afternoon.

Have a good one Isaacrccl.

I got screwed on that island thing. They dont tell you that the jet feature only works if you have a 4g connection and there is no 4g on the damn island. I spent hours on the phone with tech support and finally had to build a raft.
[EVO 4G General] apheonixboy:
So you built a raft with one hand while waiting for tech support to answer, or did you have a Magical Bluetooth Headset that charges through the solar cells behind the mic? Because I swear I saw an idiot building a raft in a nearby pond while screaming " 2.3!! 2.3!! "

[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
always use bluetooth! I got to my island and noticed I didn't even have 3g, it was 1xRTT so being angry about that I decided to call tech support using the new native video calling feature to tell sprint to improve reception out there. the video was crystal clear, it looked like I was right in front of him! the conversation wasnt going well and I became angry at the 4g delay at my island so I reached through the phone and started strangling him! dont know what came over me. a few seconds later QA ended the call to try and stop it so the screen went black with my hand on the other side, now my arm ends in a bloody stump! they sent a text stating a doctor was able to remove my hand and I could retrieve it at the hospital.

use bluetooth and dont videochat with iphone users as you might accidently touch their phone when you reach through and the call drops

[EVO 4G General] justwantafile:
Long time reader first time poster...

All I can say is WOW... there are so many jerks in the world. If most of you A$$es had read and understood IsaacRCCL's post he was asking if it was true not stating a fact. The first reply was actual helpful information, then the monkey chunks ganged up and jumped on. I just came across this thread last night (11-21-10) and low and behold this morning I awoke to a prompt on my evo for a system update to 3.29.651.5.... Seems to me that someone might have actually been right and I have yet to see a post of anyone saying anything close to yo my bad. I thought this was the place for an exchange of information. A place where those of us that want to take control of our devices come together and learn from one another.

Here let me show you how it's done... Thanks IsaacRCCL for the info thanks jwhitney83 for the follow up link. If the update prompt on my phone is what you were talking about you were right. Good lookin' out and keep the info comming!

See it wasn't difficult at all.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Only problem is.....that is not android 2.3. Download it and see. Reply and let us know what you got....
[EVO 4G General] justwantafile:
I'm not downloading anything because I'm rooted and don't want to chance losing it. IF I wasn't rooted I would, but that wasn't the point of my post. My point was how quick all these people jumped all over the OP when a question was being asked. This isn't the first time I've seen it one a few different forums.

Also once again I said in MY post "If the update prompt on my phone is what you were talking about you were right."

I never said it was.... I said if.

I read the OP as a question, friend told him/her something and the OP came to a place where info is exchanged. I might have done the same since this a place when I feel I can get answers I can trust. There was 1... ONE helpful reply, then the crap began. I curious... see I can be honest and say I know NOTHING about creating a ROM and I come here to learn. How many of you that had all these great replys have actually cooked a rom? Done more than download the work of someone else and install it one your phone? I've said I haven't, I come here to learn...
[EVO 4G General] Cy_n_ic:
Stupid questions deserve stupid answers. Things get slow in development and we need something to pass the time. Posts like this one that could be easily answered by a simple search serve no purpose other than fuel for a good flamin'

Odds are next time the op will take more time and do some of their own research before posting something that is nothing more than rumors.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
You know there's a way to permanently root your phone no matter what ota you download right?

Yea, I agree, there are a lot of assholes on here, me included. I think like you said, the thread started with direction and purpose until a few jokesters chimed in and its been downhill from there.

In retrospect, Sprint released 2.2 about a 3 months after the Evo was released, which had been out for about a month on the nexus I believe. While we assuredly will NOT be seeing 2.3 at launch, we will definitely see it within the next couple of months.

Seriously, we have to be honest with ourselves. The Evo just does NOT get the same treatment as the nexus 2 or whatever the next google poster child is. After all, in google's eyes we aren't the cream of the crop as we think we are.
[EVO 4G General] justwantafile:
edtate, thanks for the reply and I've read about the perm root, but why chance it when a rooted version should come along in a days to weeks. As I said I'm new to android and still learning, but I know not to ask people like Cy_n_ic anything unless I research it first.

Now....

Cy_n_ic, Cy_n_ic, Cy_n_ic.... LOL you're one of the people my post was directed at, yeah I know there are a lot of noobs, you were one once too. Problem is instead of helping you'd rather be an ass. How about instead of making the assumption that everyone has the same technical level as you as far as searches and such, either instruct or STFU. Let someone on the forum that wants to actually help.... help.

I see you're a senior member does that mean you actually create ROMs, sounds, art work, wallpaper or whatever or does that mean you've just been a member for x amount of time and/or have posted enough times to become one. Oh and you mean to tell me there are actually no topics on this forum/site devoted to rumors or speculation?

"Stupid questions deserve stupid answers. Things get slow in development and we need something to pass the time. Posts like this one that could be easily answered by a simple search serve no purpose other than fuel for a good flamin'"

IMO that just makes you come off as a real jack ass and if that gets me banned/ removed form the forum then oh well. Maybe you don't care what people think about you over the net, typical keyboard warrior... there I made an assumption about you. Again I thought this site was devoted to open discussion about our devices.

Really? It was joke? Seeing that it only took me 2.2 seconds to get over Froyo, 2.3 seconds for Gingerbread sounds pretty damn accurate.
[EVO 4G General] justwantafile:
Are you still TRYING to be funny? The point was the OP asked a question, and instead of helping most people piled on. As I stated I thought this was the place to ask questions... And again I did wake to a system upgrade prompt on my phone, maybe the "friend" was mistaken and it wasn't actually an upgrade to 2.3 but a upgrade of some sort is there. Your reply post that you (and apparently everyone else on the forum according to you) have nothing better to do during your wait for new content than flame noobs was a **** statement. And yeah I still think you're an ass... but that's just my opinion wtf do I know. Oh and by that way if this was directed at me

Edit: i would get that serious case of member envy taken care of soon, just cuz someone is more active, having more posts, higher member status doesnt make them any better.

Oh believe me I KNOW you're not better than me. I wouldn't treat someone trying to learn that way. I'm beginning to understand what part of your problem is, you can read you just don't comprehend what you've read. I asked how did you become a senior member. Was it attained through posts alone or time of membership. Considering I've been here a while but haven't posted I'm assuming it's not time alone, so it must be posts. Next I asked and I'll say it loud and slowly... WHAT ROMS HAVE YOU CREATED? WHAT CONTENT (other than rude lame attempts at humor) HAVE YOU CREATED FOR OUR PHONES? None? Then you're no better than the noob OP, you just sit on your duff and wait for the next ROM and act holier than thou. Like I said now I know this isn't the place to ask questions, right? If I do chance it, I better do every conceivable bit a research possible otherwise people like Cy_y_ic will make fun of me. Must be great to be perfect and know everything like you. You're my hero!

OK I can say now, SetCPU not completely working on my MT4G

Scale doesn't work. If I set min at 768 and max 1024, it will still bounce between 245 Mhz and 1024.

At first i was using the headset with music . and when i was pressing the button next to mic it was doing nothing. So i tought it was just because it's not compatible with the media player. But when i receive calls and my headset is plugged activating that button does nothing even if im talking with someone it doesn't hang up.... Basically that button next to the mic does nothing. Do i have to activate something or do i have to hold it for 2 min each time... maybe its broken ? but i bought it like 1 week ago and i pay attention to it... anyway any feedback is appreciated...

open up better terminal and run:

reboot

I ran a fix_permissions as well..

Supercurio seems to be successful in formatting OneNAND stl device to ext4 file system, getting rid of that rfs fiasco.

If you look at the screenshot, besides /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (where /data is mounted in normal Galaxy S),

/dev/block/stl9

/dev/block/stl11

/dev/block/stl10

(all of which are OneNAND stl devices)

are all mounted of ext4, instead of rfs.

it is still proven that our Epic can also be voodoo-ed even with OneNAND.

[Hero CDMA General] rodin95:
After much research on the site, I wasn't able to locate anything current on if a 2.1 can be downgraded back to the 1.56 version?

I am currently running the latest v1.56 fresh mod, and it runs great and have no problems with it. I am debating on upgrading to the newest Cyanogen mod, but I do NOT want to be stuck w/ 2.1 if it doesn't work properly. I had to have Sprint send me a new phone after I upgraded last time because the 2.1 just totally screwed with my in-car bluetooth device. Right now, bluetooth is very stable and such, but now just wanting to try the update.

If I wanted to downgrade, how exactly would I do that? I'm kinda gunshy on doing this since it all seems to be working fine right now.

Any help is appreciated!
