[EVO 4G General] slugbug2010:
I have a great rom and get great battery life. Now I can't seem to quit tweaking and theming. Immagonna haveto make a list of all that I like and the order it should be flashed in for the next time I do a full wipe.

Seriously, There is something wrong with me. I am running 3, THREE, clock/weather widgets cuz I don't know which on I want to keep, don't want to remove them cuz I keep comparing them.

I think I've flashed 5 different things today. I've bought gifts for my Evo. That's just wrong. OR....the sign of a very happy Evo owner :D

Whats the best ROM with 4G?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] light_n_roses:
Hi all !

I have just seen that my menù button on the home screen is dead !!!! I'm using windows 6.5.X on a HD2 so I have manila ...

everything worked well until 30 minutes ago, I was setting the facebook tab and some other thing related to facebook and then the menu button stop working !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] light_n_roses:
by the way this only happen to the menu button of the manila home screen, the menu button inside the others tab is fine..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alesscam:
i remember that MMtaskmanager created this problem

use you this app in your rom??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] light_n_roses:
no actually not..but maybe is cht 2.0.0 ...I have just checked that I cannot change the wallpaper of the home screen anymore..( just the home ) from manila settings..

Is there any registry tweak that I can do to restore the button on ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] light_n_roses:
any help ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alesscam:
what manila you use?

and what phone have you?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] light_n_roses:
I use manila 2019 and I have an HD2...
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
what changes would you like to see?

i love this phone but there are a few things that i would love to see re-designed on the phone.

for example:

put a slidable door that covers the hdmi & usb ports to keep out dust. :rolleyes:

an access door on the side to remove the sd card instead of removing the battery to get to it. :mad:

move the power button to the lower right side of the phone for easy access.

a dedicated camera button on the right side.

most important i would of had a gorilla glass / super amoled display like the epic.

then this phone would be complete in my mind. :D

whats you wish list?
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I would just fix the light leak issue, and upgrade the processor so its easier on the battery (dual core or something), that would be it really.
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
Wouldn't dual core cause more battery loss?
[EVO 4G General] stroths:
Depends on the cpu. Could be a newer more efficient CPU.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
i think the evo far surpasses any phone design thus far. whoever artistically designed this phone, i want to shake that persons hand.

its elegant, minimal, precise, lightly accented with reds and metals, thin, 3.5mm jack on the top, kickstand, everything about this phone to me still rings "best phone design to date"

im all about contemporary, minimalism and this phone is THAT.

i cant stand samsungs designs, theyre always curved around the edges, round, huge logo, ugly buttons, everything about samsung phones are disgusting to me.

sony, the same way... just because its a sony ericsson doesnt mean you gotta perpetuate the stereotypical sony aesthetics.

htc's design teams are the best hands down.

nothing about this phone i would change, except internal hardware, or a few more mm of lcd screen.
[EVO 4G General] DJ_Bizarro:
in my opinion the screen and display are just fine. i put mine next to my buddys iphone 4 and my display looked way better... also dont see the big desire for gorilla glass, the screen is already glass and doesnt scratch. honestly if i wanted to change that much i would just buy another phone
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
super amoled is a must for the evo.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Yea thats what I ment by upgrading the processor and then probably underclock it for normal use and battery life, but also have the ability it use it to its full potential, with root access of course.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I would make it thinner.

[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Mine has scratched with just keys in my pocket. It seems like it never would, but it can get scratched easier than you think. Gorilla glass would have been nice.

The screen is far superior to that galaxyS samsung screen. If there are better designs than that though, I would have rather had a more power conscious screen. Our screen pulls close to 300ma of power at full brightness... that hurts bad.

I hate the banding on samoleds right now, i hate the over saturation. I love the saturation, don't get me wrong, that is the best thing about them. Unlimited contrast ratios and whatnot, but don't unleash it and let it run overly rampant and make things look stupidly oversaturated. I have a highish end TF panel LCD at home for photo editing purposes only. So it is easy to compare things to it and see their flaws. And personally the Evo LCD looks worlds more natural and worlds better than the samoleds right now. Call it a "super" lcd if you want. Cuz I think it is super sexy.

Things I would change..... Yeah lets get the new dual core snapdragon MSM8660 in here and get 20x the pixel drawing power LITERALLY 20X. That would be nice. And with almost identical power consumption at that *at 1gz* of course the msm runs at 1.2 easily and higher than that when OC'd and pulls some extra juice at that point. Our processor was outdated on release. Kinda sucks.

And what the hell. Get this HDMI desktop mirroring and everything under control. Don't give me an HDMI port that only works where you want it to work. What if I want to host evo conferences. I don't want to have to put my evo on an old school bulb projector or something lol just to be able to show it off.

In all seriousness though, that really makes me angry, let me show off what I want to show off.

The speakers are attrocious. The call speaker is very distorted. I end up EQ'ing out 100hz and below and it helps some, so it is evidently an over excursion distortion issue. Put 3 of the speaker they used in there and extend that slot across the top from edge to edge. I need to be able to talk on my phone... as a phone.

The phone is beautiful as far as design and curves go though. Very thin. I think it is perfectly sized for a phone. Any bigger and the thing would be unusable with one hand. Any smaller and it just makes me want more screen real estate.
[EVO 4G General] om4:
unless im mistaken a dual core would save more battery because it only draws half unless running something power hungry like a game and then both cores are used, otherwise its only operating at half
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The display on the EVO is awful, I don't mean this to be another iPhone 4 vs EVO thread but the viewing angles on the EVO display are AWFUL. Throw in the lower resolution and the lower color depth, and well, you know.

That said, being realistic with what is probably currently available to HTC:

-4.3" SLCD display

-768 MB of RAM

-1 GHz 45nm Scorpion/Snapdragon w/ Adreno 205 GPU (maybe higher clock if available)

-Aluminum casing

-Better camera sensor for BOTH the front and back, lower the MP if needed

-I also would like to see a Nexus One like trackball

-Sprint ID instead of Sense. I'd prefer to have 100% stock but Sprint ID is close enough TBH and is realistic.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
What the hell angle do you view your screen at? I can look at mine at nearly 180° without any color distortion.

Sent from my HTC Supersonic.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Better GPU (but definitely not a must), 1800 mAh battery standard. It doesn't add any bulk or require a new battery cover. Also, make it a world phone. Oh, and make the white version all-white and make the back glossy on the black cover as well.
[EVO 4G General] msjr405:
Lol to funny. I agree with most people there isn't to many phones EVER made that are as sexy as the Evo. I think that phone is damn near close to perfect as a phone can get as is aside from the minor hardware things. But to stay on topic I would say maybe a track pad (or ball).

Sent from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Sure. Keep believing that the EVO's display is perfect when it's in fact far below most.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
Canned air fixes that even with a door dust would get in.

I have to agree with the sdcard not a night problem but I'd love to see it like a blackberry or the hero no battery pull needed

Camera button? Is it that hard to slide and press a button? LoL

Gorilla glass is nice bit honestly i think the glass is pretty good the gorilla glass would have jacked the price IMHO.

Me I'd like to see a little better screen myself. The current screen is nice bit could be a lot better

from my phone duh
[EVO 4G General] mitchellvii:
The new dual cores coming out will get 75% better life due to reduced die size.

A Pico projector would be nice addition. Also the new technology that allows the user to gesture above the screen as opposed to touching it.
[EVO 4G General] mitchellvii:
I also find the saturation on the samoled screens to be very unappealing. It is like looking at a pile of melted crayons. However one of the new Sharp "glassesless" 3d screens would be cool.

If we are really dreaming, how about the new plastic screen cover that actually changes shape during use so that you can "feel" the keyboard buttons and the screen goes back to flat when the keyboard isn't being used?
[EVO 4G General] mailkid14:
-A unibody aluminum casing (make it extremely durable) I hate the fact this phone feels cheap in my hand as oppose to holding someone's nexus one, G2 and the iphone. The plastic is turnoff.

-A low-volatge CPU, that can still give the power of a 1gz processor.

-Dedicated Camera Button, if this phone is going have a camera hump that's 8mp, Why not have a dedicated camera button.

-Kill off HTC Sense and use PURE ANDROID W. VANILLA. HTC sense use to many resources in the background at startup than Pure Android, its disgusting that HTC Sense is a big factor of quickly draining the battery.

-Make it thinner

-Just make sure it better than the next gen iphone5
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Well, if I can't see anything wrong with it then I sure as hell can't complain.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
You know what they say, ignorance is bliss. There are better displays out there and to not want one just because you don't know or don't care is kind of dumb.
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Make it a tad bit thinner, power button below the volume rockers, make it so the camera's lens has a lip so that it doesn't get scratched, 440 magnum balance engine, dual kickstands, etc etc.

Display is just fine to me. I prefer whiter whites over blacker blacks. I'm one of those guys who prefers SLCD over SAMOLED.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I can't stand have the power button on the side like the Epic. Personally, I think it's counter-intuitive. And yep, I prefer SLCD over SAMOLED as well. Don't like the overdone colors.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Well we don't have a SLCD. Would prefer that or a IPS display over what we have now. Super AMOLED has it quirks but I'd still take it over the current EVO display.
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
I just hate having to reach -all- the way to the top of my Evo to wake it. Maybe if they added some code to the kernel so that the capacitive keys could wake the phone, then I wouldn't mind.

My Epic and Vibrant had gorgeous screens, I'm not taking anything away from that, but once you've gone from the bright and beautiful screen of the Evo, SAMOLED just seems dim, and the switch off of saturation just wasn't worth it for me. Especially when you're looking at an Evo and Epic side by side.
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
I wasn't all that wow'd by ips display, I'd take SAMOLED over it actually.

Also, the 5megapixel camera on the Galaxy S variants pretty much womp on our Evo's 8 megapixel.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Yeah, I notice SAMOLEDs have a bluish tint. Would never trade my Evo for an Epic altogether though. There are much more ROMs for the Evo, plus I trust HTC over Samsung. Normally, I go bleeding edge, but in this case I'd rather have a sturdy phone that I know will be supported for a long time.

I notice you have a white Evo you lucky mofo. I signed up for a SERO plan back in August and the white ones were only available at Best Buy. *shakes fist*
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
In order of my preference: Super AMOLED, IPS, SLCD. A independent review of the three display techs actually put the IPS above the SAMOLED and SLCD - I still like LCDs just because of the better outdoors lighting. The Nexus S is rumored to be getting the second gen SAMOLED, curious to see of its true and how it performs.
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Mine had a yellowish tint to it, actually. It was really gross lookin'. Heard the off tints were on account of how the glue dried.

Definitely. I absolutely dread Odin. The Epic board used to be a real wasteland, for a long while. We have amazing Dev's here. Guess we lucked out. I actually traded my old Epic to Geniusdog254 a while back for his Evo and Motorola Droid. So I guess I'm to blame for the loss of that awesome Dev. >.<

Hahaha I totally got lucky with this one. Was coming up on my 30 days with Best Buy when my Black Evo's speaker blew out (the speakers on these things are horrendous) so they agreed to give me a White Evo if I waited a week since they were out of stock with all their other Evo's.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Probably 50% of EVOs have a red/blue dominance resulting in a purple tint. Mine is one of those.

It doesn't matter though. Color correction is now possible, so you can get rid of the tint on SAMOLED display (or on the EVO's like I do).
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Honestly, it all comes down to personal preference. They all have their strong and weak points.

Really? I hadn't heard that. Sounds promising.
[EVO 4G General] mike.r.olson:
Things that I would change...

Let's focus on the most hated things and improve on them, which the amazing DEVs are doing on a constant basis...

Trickle charge... There is a kernel floating around that seems to improve the 90-100% charging issue.

Ridiculously insane power hungry components

Quick access to the MicroSD card slot

Improved video recording

Larger battery capacity

AOSP/SprintID out of the box

768MB+ RAM

Hummingbird CPU

More durable casing with NO PLASTIC BUTTONS
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Crap camera (compared to Galaxy S line) and horrendous speakers that blow out. *search the threads*
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The Optimus S (amazing phone for the price BTW - got it for both of my parents) is tiny and has a 1500 mAh battery, the EVO is huge compared to it and has the same: why? You'd think a phone as huge as the EVO would have something bigger. Maybe 1800 mAh.

[Android Apps and Games] plainjane:
I know it's not what you want to hear, but...

You could purchase Folder Organizer (paid app by the same dev). It has same functionality but with more options, like changing the backgrounds of the folders, changing app icons, and you can add shortcuts, contacts, bookmarks, etc to folders.

Just a suggestion. It's the best app I've ever bought, and the couple of bucks has to be worth the time of changing the xml files.

Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer, but if you want to just change Apps Organizer I'm sure you need to figure out where the values are in the xml & change it accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] kishin14:
Folder Organizer uses the panel_background.9.png file from the system framework res drawables folder. That's why it's not in the apk. In order to change the look, you have replace this file with the modded panel_background.9.png file you want to use in your framework.apk. However, because you're modding the panel_background.9 file, it will be like this for ANY apk that also accesses this 9.png file. But that's what you need to do if you really want to mod the backgound to have sharp corners.

I recall reading of a couple successes in the Galaxy Tab General forum.

This thread I believe: (page 13 rgbc reports success)

No going back to stock, as far as I have read, but things move quick here :)
[Galaxy Tab General] rgbc:
As far as I know at this point there are no Bell roms floating around but if you feel comfortable flashing, read the first few pages of the ATT flash thread, get comfortable with Odin, it was a bit of a different flashing experience for me coming from HTC phones, give it a day or two to make sure everything is fine with the hardware (I took my first tab back to Futureshop for exchange 24 hours later as it had/developed a burnt pixel right in the middle of the screen) and then flash away.

The Bell rom doesn't really offer anything that the Euro rom doesn't, whereas the Euro rom enables the phone features on your Tab, the speakerphone is excellent btw.

Quick question re your unmodified Tab, when you launch Swype does it have a Voice button on the keyboard, I cannot remember if it did or if I'm confusing it with the Swype kb on my Nexus, which does.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Thanks. I wanted to flash so I can get the arabic words to show properly, hoping we'd get an official firmware first. I bought mine from Bell.

In regards to Swype, there is a Voice/Mic button, but for some reason it's greyed out now, can't use it. Even though voice search works perfectly everywhere else.
[Galaxy Tab General] borodark:
What bell apps would you like to keep?

I see no reason to keep bell apps on the tab anyway - I have no PVR;)

So why would you want to flash it back?
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Self Serve app is pretty cool app, but I think it downloaded the APK heh, but the reason is i'm just worried in case I need a working ROM to fallback to.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Care to point me to that Bell Self Serve APK? I flashed mine to Euro before I even tried that application. :)

Some version of the Bell firmware will show up on samfirmwares.com before long, once it gets out to the service centers which are usually their source for firmware binaries.

For instance, it was about ten days after the Bell Vibrant launched before any factory firmware showed up (and it was older, pre-release firmware), but the original "JG9" found on Bell units at launch day has never showed up (current JH2 is there though).

You can always fall back to the AT&T firmware, which is available just to get you up and running pretty close to stock again, but of course that might cause problems if you want to reflash it before sending it in for warranty.

Something else to keep in mind (but try not to abuse please) is the 30 day DOA period from Bell kind of covers your ass if you totally screw something up and brick it for real. Provided they have a replacement in stock.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Thanks for the info Croak. That was pretty helpful.

About the Self Serve app, I realized there was a link initially that took me to the market to download the app, http://www.appbrain.com/app/bell-self-serve/com.bellmo.selfserve, I'm not sure if this shows up for you. I'm still dabbling in adb, so I'm not sure how to get the apk off the device just yet :/

Note: The self serve app only works on 3G, not wifi. That would explain how it knows to my account info automatically.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
I forgot ask something, in regards to the Market, will regional apps still show after flashing non-north american firmware? For example, the TD Canada Trust bank app. I remember I had issues with the MIUI on my N1 because it was a Chinese ROM. Eventually it was fixed though.
[Galaxy Tab General] rgbc:
This quick build.prop mod works fine for me, TD app (and all my protected apps) show in the market

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat123:
Sorry for making this long. I am totally flummoxed/sad/angry.

My phone has been hard bricked for the 3rd time in a matter of 8-10 days. My vibrant was a hardware locked one when I first got it. Let me explain a brief history of what flashes have been performed on my vibrant:

1) To unlock my Vibrant I flashed this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785201

Result: This helped me get Download mode working by pressing Vol Up + Power. But recovery mode was no-go. One thing to notice was that on boot, the screen now says GT-i9000 for a few seconds and then a Vibrant screen for few more seconds.

2) Hence flashed this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804305

Result: Bricked. Phone wouldn't boot. Completely dead. Got it fixed by paying $50. Got it back with stock JFD, Download mode working.

3) Stock JFD, worked fine. Flashed Bionix Fusion final 1.2, Obsidian V2.

Result: All fine. No issues.

4) Flashed Axura 2.0.5

Result: Bricked. Phone dead again. Wouldn't even turn ON. I thought perhaps some random issue must have happened which resulted in bricking my Vibrant. I got it fixed from a local mobile repair-shop who probably jtagged it (or used RIFF box to flash bootloader).

Got it fixed again. Got it back with Stock JFD, Download mode working.

5)First thing I try is flashing Axura.

Result: Got the phone back today. Don't know why, but the first thing I did after getting the phone was rooting JFD, installing ClockWork, booting in CW recovery and flashing Axura again. Guess what, it's bricked again. Wow. Unbelievable. Anyone has any idea whats going on?
