Those commands should work fine in a terminal emulator, just paste them into the terminal right on the tab or save the commands as a file, install gscript lite from the market, copy the file to /sdcard/gscript/ , then run gscript, select and run that file. Done.

I'm about to purchase an HTC Desire, and I'm shopping for a good case/holster so I'm ready to go once I get the new phone (just waiting on the contract to expire)...

I work in a manufacturing plant, and I'm pretty rough on phones. I typically carry them horizontally on my belt, and I'm looking for something similar. However, I want something that will protect as much as possible as it get bumped on equipment, conveyor, etc. Screen-in is a must, obviously. I'd really like something that protects the phone all the time, and then some sort of holster that holds the phone with the protection.

The best thing I've found is a Innocase Rugged Combo, but it's only available for the Nexus One, and won't fit the desire...

Something similar I've found is a snap-on hard case combo but I haven't found any reviews. It's a hard cover and a clip-type holster together from Techie Warehouse (mfg unknown).

Then there are clip-type holsters like the Amzer Rubberized holster.

Or leather holsters like the MobiMan Premium.

Then, I've always got the option to make something. My best friend makes leather and kydex holsters, so I'm tempted to make my own holster like the leather or clip one. I would just keep the phone in armor like the Case-Mate Barely There, Case-Mate Tough, or PDair Aluminum Case within the holster I make.

What do you guys think? Any experience with any of these, especially the Techie hard combo case? Thanks,

Danny
[Desire Accessories] BodenM:
Have you had a peek at the OtterBox line of cases? They are pretty tough, especially the Defender. The Desire cases are at http://www.otterbox.com/desire-cases/desire-cases,default,sc.html. Only the Defender has a belt clip, and it's made to fit the case. Someone else on XDA had one, and they dropped their Desire down a set of stairs, and it hit a wall and then the ground, and the case was undamaged, and so was the phone.

Just quickly, and off topic, but welcome to xda-developers, shorin!
[Desire Accessories] shorin:
Yes, I looked at the Otterbox cases. They look very nice, but they just don't quite meet my needs.

The Defender does have a belt clip, but it places the screen out. I'd break the screen in a day with that...

I have considered the Commuter if I make my own holster.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been on here quite a while. Just never needed to post until now...

Thanks,

Danny
[Desire Accessories] shorin:
It looks like the Otterbox Defender may be the ticket. I did some looking again, and I didn't see any reason the phone wouldn't fit with the screen in.

I found a review on YouTube that confirms this and I also asked the question via the Q&A on the Otterbox website and they confirmed that the holster will work screen-in.

Problem solved...

Just a lily note. I personally use the otterbox defender. It fits the holder screen in or out. And my opinion the best protection money can buy.

Hi All,

Before I start, I want to apologize for the lengthy post.

I just got an EVO 5 days ago and am ready to root it. I’ve been reading these boards for a few weeks and I gotta say I’m overwhelmed. I’m coming from a Palm Pre, which I hacked the **** out of, but it was more simple on the Pre. There was one method for hacking it and one source (Preware) for getting everything from homebrew apps to themes. Trying to keep up with all the different posts about kernels, themes, roms, rooting methods, etc. makes me feel like I’m in over my head.

Here’s my Evo:

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband Version: 2.15.00.09.01

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50htc-kernel@and18-2 #17

Build number: 3.30.651.3 CL272076 release-keys

Software number: 3.30.651.3

Hardware Version: 003

I don’t what my hboot is or where to find it, so I’m leery about using unrevoked.

So, I guess I’m asking for the best way to get started hacking my phone. I have a few other questions to fill in my background knowledge of this too.

What is the best way to root my phone?

Can I root and keep the stock rom?

If so, can I delete the bloatware that comes with the phone?

If so, can I still receive OTA updates?

What other roms are available that preserve full phone functionality (ie: 4g and full camera use, I know cyanogen-mod has issues with that)

What does nandroid do?

What does odexed/deodexed mean? (I think it has something to do with theming)

What do you guys do with all those Kernels I’ve been seeing posted?

I’ve already looked here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841330

And that help with some of the questions I have, but again, I’m completely overwhelmed.

Sorry for the epic post, I hope to get off on the right foot and become an active member of the community here.

Thanks for your help and patience,

Grey

Bump for noobness?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrel_b:
You've got the wrong software number for easy rooting dude. (some people have camera freakouts when doing the hard root for your software number as well) Instructions for your sotware number are somewhere on this site. (sorry, don't know where)

You can root and keep stock

You can delete bloatware from kept stock

I believe you can still receive OTA updates, but you won't want to as they could break root. Wait for people here to release a rooted version of the OTAs

I think most Sense-based ROMS preserve all functionality. I'm a fan of Myn's Warm which does.

nandroid performs a backup of your system image essentially

odexed/deodexed has to do with something or other that I forgot, but the differences are explained elsewhere on the site

Kernels ar eused for performance, overclocking and underclocking CPU
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go4the1:
First, I'm not familiar with the new rooting methods (I got my Evo on launch day) so I can't be of much help there.

Pretty sure you'll need to know what hboot you have in order to root. To find out: Turn off your evo. Hold down the volume down key, and simultaneously hit the power button to turn the phone back on. You'll be presented with a white screen (you can release the volume key now) with various information, including your hboot version. When you're finished, pull your battery, put it back in, and power on your evo as normal.

Yes, but what's the fun in that? :D Custom roms provide additional functionality, performance, and themes that you can't get with the stock rom.

Yes. You can delete literally anything, no guarantee your phone will still work afterwards though.

No. OTA updates are disabled in custom roms. There's no need to, however. Updating would cause you to lose root. Instead, you can/will flash the updates (whether it be updates to the rom, kernel, radio, etc).

Basically there are two kinds of roms. The majority of them are based off of the stock HTC rom and include HTC Sense, and full functionality (since no underlying components are being altered). The other type is AOSP (Android Open Source Project) which are roms that are compiled directly from the source code of Android. It's much harder to develop an AOSP rom, but these roms can include many features unavailable to htc-based roms. Unfortunately, AOSP roms do not yet have support for 4G or HDMI, as these elements are closed-source and therefore can't just be copied over from an htc rom. The two main AOSP roms are CyanogenMod and MIUI.

Basically, think of a nandroid backup as a copy and paste of your phones internal memory. The rom, kernel, user data, etc are stored in nandroid backups. Generally you create these whenever you are going to do anything that may cause your phone not to boot properly. In such a case, you can restore your phone from a nandroid and it will work exactly the way it did when you made the backup.

All you really need to know is that a rom must be deodexed in order to be theme-able. In contrast, odexed roms perform somewhat better. I doubt you'll find an odexed rom, other than stock, as the small performance hit is worth the ability to customize it.

A kernel is essentially the underlying framework that connects the rom (operating system) to the phone's hardware. Various kernels and have different features, such as over/underclocking, over/undervolting, I/O scheduler's, cpu governers, etc. Flashing different kernels will change your phones performance, battery life, and stability.

Glad to help :) that's what we're here for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greymalken:
Hey guys thanks for the replies. I'm probably going to try to root tonight after work (and after backing everything up).

Any leads on what to use to root my version number? (I'll try searching later, I can't whilst I'm at work)

I found my HBOOT, it's 2.02.0000.

Can I use that for anything?

Thanks again,

Hey everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to help me out first off...

I was trying to hack and force roam using Techknowfiles tutorial and for some reason it when I clicked commit, it was stuck on commiting new changes forever and so I clicked home and now I have no cell or data connection at all!

I then tried to update my PRL and it has been "Checking for PRL update" for about 4 minutes. Not sure of what to do here. Getting very worried however.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I was messing with this the other day and it happened to me. However, you need to provide more details. I had two PRL files on my phone, the "00001" file and another one called "52105" or something which is supposed to be the latest Verizon PRL.

With the "00001" PRL, my phone worked fine with the exception of text messages. I figured it may be due to an outdated PRL, so I Googled the latest PRL from Verizon and installed that one. My phone went completely off the grid, and did not connect to any network. I couldn't make calls, texts, use data or do anything. If this is what is happening to you, you will NOT be able to update the PRL through Sprint because you cannot connect to Sprints network to update the PRL. You are going to have to place the PRL directly in the "download" folder of your SD card, and use ##775# to install it. Install the "00001" PRL and then go to settings to update the PRL through Sprint, or try and find the Sprint PRL file and install that one directly.

Good luck.

Sense keeps resetting every time I exit an app and it's really getting on my nerves. I have S-OFF and Clockwork Recovery (Paul O'Brien), plus Root (VISIONary r13 - not that I get perm root, but temp works sometimes).

I may have just answered my own question, and if so, does anyone have any ideas how to stop it happening?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all!

So I've installed CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1 and it's amazing. But it seems that when I run Vignette (which is a fantastic camera app btw) the viewfinder is messed up.

The bottom half of the screen is completely black, while the top half is stretched and distorted.

I reflashed the stock rom and everything was fine. It just doesn't seem to work properly in CyanogenMod.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea on how to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TL24:
I've got the same issue and since Vignette is my favorite Camera App. i'm sort of bummed out. I'm not sure if there's a fix but that's something Cyanogen will have to look into.

Besides the bottom half of the screen being black, you can still take pictures and they turn out just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzxxzx:
Whoa, I'm upset now. I was using Vignette earlier (and I agree, *great* camera app) and it didn't have this problem, but now when I open it I see this problem occurring. What happened I wonder... It'd be great if someone could figure out a way to fix this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzxxzx:
I've got a fix!!! (sort of)

I emailed the developers and one of them responded back to me. She sent me a test build that fixed the issue completely. I suggest emailing the developer to see if she'll send it to you, as well. Good luck! (it's worth it, this version is pretty badass)

Hi guys,

I have recently purchased 32gb kingston's class 4 micro sdhc card and encountered a problem with it. Basically the problem is that when I put more than 1.8gb of music on the card everything above that just doesnt get recognised. It is shown in the music player but when you click to play it says "file format is not supported". Another example is if I have 1.8gb of music and try to put a video on the card it says that "format is not supported" aswel. The strangest thing is that it plays music for few seconds then it crashes. At first I thought that it could be a fake memory card but I used h2testw to check the capacity of the memory card and it worked without any issues.

Some screenshots:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yvrRome:
Did you let h2testw completely finish? Because it will write all 32GB of data but reading the data is when it finds the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] reneimas:
I actually havent I did it up to 12gb :) gunna let it do it now for whole 32gb. I still think that it is the phone issue. Still ill let it run through out and post the results :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yvrRome:
You have to let it finish, it'll try and write 32GB since the card is programmed to show 32GB. But really all it's doing is overwriting existing data (if it's fake). So when h2testw starts to read the data, that is when it'll find if your card is real. It'll tell you how much your card can really hold.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nivki:
If bought from eBay there is a high possibility that it is a fake, unfortunately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] reneimas:
Thanks yvrRome I did let it finnish and it turns out it is fake... it only wrote 1.8gb and the rest was corrupted, this means its fake. This actually good news because this means that its not my phones fault. And Nivki I did bought this from ebay and to make it worse its second time ive been scammed on ebay purchasing 32gb micro sd in a row :( lesson for me purchase things like these from retail shops :)

I received a card today that was bought from eBay, i figured if i bought a brand named card(Kingston) that the chance of it being counterfeit was lower. I began to sync my samsung Vibrant with Double Twist and only about 20% of the songs were transferred.

I tried re-formatting the memory card in Windows 7 and the capacity is somehow reset to only 2GB...THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I've seen this happen. After that i try inserting the card into my phone and it' shows space unavailable... 2 PCs won't read it either.

Something this unreliable has to be fake. I recommend running a test with H2testw 1.4 to tell you if it's genuine or not.

Also, Kingston can actually verify your card for you. Maybe useful if you want to ask the sellers for info on the back of the sd card package first before buying! Good Luck

Ebay = need to reasearch seller a little

I have bought quite a few memory cards and usb flash drives from ebay and I have never had an issue however, I do a little 'reasearch' before I click on buy.

I always look at ALL of the seller's negative and neutral feedback. This gives you a really good idea if they are selling legitimate ones. Also look at how much crap they sell, if they have only sold a few items sold I would go some where else.

I usually single out a few 'sellers' that sell a LOT of brand name memory cards. I also list items from the most expensive first to the cheapest, usually all the dodgy stuff ends up way back at the end. Being from australia I also filter it out so that i only see items that are goign to be shipped from Australia (double check feedback to see if theres any indication items are shipped from china/hong kong)

Just like kingston, I beleive sandisk also have something on their website to confirm if you bought a legitimate card.
