[Desire General] janine13:
Think i am ready to take the plunge to root my desire and also install a custom ROM. Just have a few queries that need some clarification and suggestions.

1. My radio version is 5.09.05.30_2 do i need to update this when when installing a custom ROM

2. Suggestions on Sense custom ROMs that have fast kernels with low battery drain. I have read a lot about Cyanogen ROMs which seems quite popular but its a non Sense ROM and would appreciate one with Sense. Kinda Like it.

Thanks in anticipation of the goodies!!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
1. See what radio the ROM developer suggests and use that

2. I'd go all out and use the RCMixHD ROM - easily the best Sense-based ROM available and it's based on the Desire HD ROM...but that's just my opinion (wait for the LeeDroid brigade to chime in!!)
[Desire General] Spin Dr Wolf:
I'm far from an expert but i just flashed the latest radio onto my phone and went for LeeDroid 2.2f, which i've been running for a week or two, seems pretty stable so far. I was planning on trying a few ROMs before i get too settled into one. ;)
[Desire General] janine13:
which radio would that be?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
For latest radio, see my signature. But as said, it's best to use the one recommended in the ROM thread if in doubt
[Desire General] janine13:
LeeDroid seems to be quite appealing at the moment. Any known bugs for 2.2f
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Don't know, not a fan of LeeDroid - don't like the custom wallpapers and apps that are used. Prefer mine to look as stock as possible
[Desire General] janine13:
Which ROMs look as stock as possible?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Teppic's is basically stock with root access and optional extras
[Desire General] Spin Dr Wolf:
I haven't found any bugs at all yet, my current radio is 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 which definately works fine with LeeDroid 2.2f, well it does on my Desire at least !
[Desire General] janine13:
Any links to where i could get that Teppic's and is it stable with improved speed and low battery drain? Sorry am asking too many questions
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Go look for it in ROM development - it's not that hard to do ;)
[Desire General] stats101:
What's LeeDroid like on battery?
[Desire General] st0kes:
VillianRom and PinkyDesire are both excellent choices.
[Desire General] lewyharvey:
LeeDroid Brigade here...... I have tried every ROM possible and the latest LeeDroid offering ,2.2f, is by far the most stable bug free ROM I have ever used. The RCMixHD ROM is very good, if you can live without the camera for the time being.
[Desire General] lewyharvey:

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
How do you remove the Google Voice Service from you Google account. It's looking like I'll have to delete my Google Account and Master Reset my phone to get rid of Google Voice, cause they don't let you remove the service from you account and it doesn't allow you to remove the physical phone from the Google Voice settings...

Has anyone found out how to close down Google Voice the way you can close down Google Buzz or Blogger?

Would really suck to have to change my entire email address just to get rid of this ****.

EDIT: Oh, so you can't remove this service. Guess it's time to start going to 100k different places and changing my email, send out mass notices, and create a brand new Google account. I can't believe this ****...
[Vibrant General] ransz28:
You don't have to use Google Voice but you do need a google account. What you can do is via a computer, change your Google Account password, then your Android will prompt you to update it. At that time you should be able to enter a new google email/password and you would be good to go.

If you are looking for a new e-mail address, you can keep your old and always forward to your new. I hope I understood your question and answered it.
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
Get a phone number with Skype or other VOIP service (or use your work phone). Edit your settings in Google Voice to make that number active. Removed your mobile number.

Better?
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
https://www.google.com/voice?pli=1#phones delete the phone number from there and deactivate the GV, what's the big deal?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
You can't remove the only number on Google Voice.

I'm not paying for another number just to do this.

Already in the process of moving everything over to another email address.

I'll just get rid of the account, after I have T-Mobile change my phone number.
[Vibrant General] down8:
Why do you need to remove it? Just stop using the service....

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
It had my number in it. I wanted it out. I changed my number this afternoon and moved everything over to my Live acct.
[Vibrant General] chichu_9:
Just replace forwarding number with some other number like gizmo5 and and then log off Google voice service on your phone. that should take care of it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spasms:
I'm trying to add the Android AOSP keyboard to my update.zip and it keeps giving me forced close. It works fine when I install the apk manually. But once I place it in /system/app it will force close after flashing the update.zip via recovery.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this? I have tried several apk's and even build my own keyboard from the source found on android.git.kernel.org

Any help will be very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spasms:
I'm having the same issue with some other apk's. They install fine on the phone from apk, but force close once added via /data/app or /system/app

The apk's that do it all have a lib folder inside, I tried putting those libs /system/lib but that didn't help.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here but what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mainicia:
I tried putting those libs /system/lib and /system/app but still FC

but I didn't use .odex, is it need?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spasms:
I used deodexed sources. Also I made it work by extracting the lib from the apk and placing it in /system/lib and leave the lib file inside the apk too. Removing it from the apk caused the force closes.
[Vibrant General] westward:
Obsidian 4.2, after every reboot some icons disappear from TW desktop. They remain in Applications folder and I can drag it on desktop, but only until the next

reboot.

This is because on Froyo some programs by default are installed to external SD card. And after reboot icons for these programs disappear from TouchWiz, maybe it's a TW bug.

Solution: move programs back from SD to internal memory. Froyo's Settings - Applications - Manage Applications app have useful tab named "On SD card" to manage apps installed on SD card.
[Vibrant General] sroach23:
i posted about this in the macnut r12 thread, but nobody responded. i wonder if it is the tw launcher or the same happens with adw and launcher pro.
[Vibrant General] Telanis:
Wow, thanks for the fix!! This has been bothering me ever since JFD was leaked.
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
Omg :thump up ass: no wonder my neocore shortcut has been dissapearing, ohhh im such an idiot.

Fear the beard...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Since we have near 2 GBs for apps, really no need to move apps to SD is there? I mean, this is something I love on my G1 and N1, but I've never felt the need with the Vibrant. I LOVE having so much memory.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
I am having a similar problem with CNN News app. The shortcut and app in app drawer itself disappears every time I reboot. The app drawer icon comes back after few mins, but not the shortcut. I saw this thread and thought the app would be on external SD, but it is in internal. :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noirad:
I've searched the threads and I'm not sure if this question has been resolved or not, but is there any ROM or preferably a separate .apk that allows for 4G tethering to be fully supported through the Sprint HotSpot application; one that is not limited to 3G tethering such as the Sprint HotSpot app found in [ROM] Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793471). I am aware that the Wireless tether for root users allows for 4G tethering, I just like the clean look of sprint interface a little bit better than this one. Also I've seem'd to have notice that some times the WirelessTether for Root users will go from 4G to 3G tether just as the Free Version of the Sprint HotSpot application, does anyone know what might be cause?

-Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
you definitely have this in the wrong thread. Should be in the Q&A section my friend. But as far as your question goes, no. Just root your device and use the wireless tether app. Its soooo easy to use, just tap the screen and your done|
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
so the interface makes that big of a deal to you for the 5 seconds you have to look at it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dees_Troy:
If the interface matters that much to you, then you should pony up the $30/month.

If 4G tethering is all that you care about, then you can go back to a 2.1 Eclair ROM and use the Sprint app for free. 3G tethering won't work though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead_freak:
im also looking for the sprint hotspot app with working 4g. for some reason with wireless tether the 4G feels throttled
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
I actually have the issue where if I use Wireless Tether for Root Users my devices will just randomly stop being connected to it.

Sprint hotspot doesn't seem to have the same issue, so while in 3G only I can just use the Sprint app, but in 4G I end up using PDANet or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genjinaro:
Just change the channel to 1 on WiFi Tether's settings & it'll never happen again.

WiFi Tether pre 13 is waaay better than the Sprint HotSpot app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormchaser404:
OK, not to hijack another thread but...apparently my search ability is TERRIBLE because I can't find the info I'm looking for and I'm SURE this has been asked a thousand times. I jsut got an Evo Shift. This is my first Droid device so please treat me as a total n00b. I'm coming over from a Palm Pre (HP Pre now).

I need to get instructions and links to be able to get my hotpot working without having to pay the extra $30 a month. Can anyone provide a total n00b that is pretty smart with good step by step instructions on how to do this? I NEED it to work on 3G and want it to work on 4G. Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Wow, OK, first, this is the EVo forum, not the Evo SHift.

Second, I'm not going to tell you how to do it, because that's something you need to lean about on your own time. But all you need to do is root your phone, and download the Wireless Tether app. There are many ways to root, and all can be found in the Evo Shift subforum. I'm not sure if Unrevoked supports the Shift yet, but if it does, its the easiest method to root.

Just make sure you READ a LOT about rooting before you do it, as its easy to completely brick your phone. There are plenty of noob/faq guides for rooting on here and other sites.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfi2ee:
Alright guys,

Tried installing some battery icon replacement the phone then restarted...then gets stuck on galaxy s screen it plays the startup music in the background but doesnt change...i held the volume up, home and power button to reset the phone but it still freezes on the screen.

I've got no idea how to flash to stock australian rom any help would be most appreacited....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racerboy3801:
Turn the phone off.

Check then if download mode is working(volume+,home then power).

If this works then use odin to change the firmware.

Search the development section for this.

Hope you fix it.

Cheers
[Epic 4G General] cbwhat:
So i just found out how easy it is to change the custom rom. right now im on some 2.2 rom.

what is the big difference in 2.2.

also i heard the 2.1 roms have better batterylife and overclocking.

the 2.2 cant and there still buggy right?

so what is your guys opinions?
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Everyone is going to have a different opinion. I have tried three of them and I like baked snacks with ultimate kernel. The only thing bad about that one is you will get no support here.

The other popular ones are Syndicate and Epic Experience.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
Agree. It stinks and not sure about how many future updates it will have, but baked snack by far has the best battery life for me too. Unfortunately, my CPU doesnt like the ultimate kernel, but it runs fantastic with step2.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
The best rom is easily which ever one is the most customizable. If you are going to use something like LauncherPro then it's all about which notification bar you prefer.
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
I started off with Epic Experience, then moved onto Baked Snack (gasp! #noban)..loved the speed of Baked Snack, but hated the theme and didn't want to investigate another.. (I just really love the stock look) and then switched to Syndicate (IMHO the best).

YMMV with Roms, just try a few and see which one is best for you with trial and error.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
best combo I've ever used is backed snack 1.6 w/ ultimate. unfortunantely, there isn't much support. I've had to create my own post in the general section to ask a few questions concerning some of the things I've been experiencing.

also, syndicate and xtreme are great but I hvent gotten the best battery life with them.

as for 2.2 froyo, I'm just going to wait until I recieve the ota and then test out the custom builds.

Sent through the Matrix
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
I use Syndicate/Extreme. I've improved my battery life to something similar to baked snack by using a combination of setcpu (conservative scaling) and advanced task killer (auto kill on screen off). I unplug around 7 in the morning, and after a day of moderate usage I'm still at around 30-40% by the time I plug it in at ~10 pm. Good enough for me!

Oh, and I've tried the Froyo leaks, not stable enough for me...
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
As many if you have read, some pretty amazing new phones are coming out early next year including the dual core Snapdragon and Tegra 2 models. With dedicated GPU's, higher clock speeds and reduced die sizes (better battery life), these are sure to make our EVO's look like PS2's by comparison. The tech temptation will be extreme.

So, the question is, will you stick with your EVO:

1) Until it dies of old age.

2) Until your contract runs out and you can get a new discounted phone on contract.

3) Go for early upgrade (I think you can do it after a year if you are a Sprint Premier Customer).

4) Bite the bullet and pay full price just to have the latest and greatest.

Personally, I'll probably do the annual upgrade. I can never resist new tech, but I still can't see paying $600 for a new phone off contract ;-)
[EVO 4G Accessories] jigglywiggly:
I probably will keep it for a good while, I mean I'll get another phone, but keep my Evo... it's just so reliable :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Before the evo I always used phones with physical keyboards. It took me a while to get used to typing on the evo. However, now I don't know if I could go back to a physical keyboard since typing on this is so fast.
[EVO 4G Accessories] matthewjulian:
Well...I paid out of pocket for my Evo as well as my wife's(both bought second hand about 2 months after release), I did this since we had the extra cash and we realised that dual core models were around the corner(and most likely carrying a hefty price) so why not save our upgrades for that! Yes we both love our Evo's and will keep them for sure as back ups for a long time, BUT you better believe when the 2nd Gen dual core devices(early adopters always seem to get screwed) hit Sprint shelves we will upgrade!
[EVO 4G Accessories] blkout01:
I have to have the latest device from HTC with Sprint...so as soon as something new comes out better than the Evo I will have it. I will still have an Evo on my account as well though. (4 lines open)
[EVO 4G Accessories] dkelle4:
I will wait until my contract runs out (or as soon as I can get a discounted price) and get a new one. Not because I don't love the EVO, I just need the latest and greatest as I'm sure a lot of people on this site do.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jimbobtexas:
I'm married to my Evo, but I might keep a younger, faster sancha on the side...:p
[EVO 4G Accessories] tim-tim:
has anyone really stayed dedicated to their phone when the new bright shiny faster model comes out? the evo is probably htc's best phone to date "been rocking htc since the 6700" and when they come out with something better, ill put this bad boy on metro and make my money back like the past 4 htc's ive owned :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Skeptron:
Love it but not married to it lolz

I usually "upgrade" phones whenever the Full discount from my Service Provider is up.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
I will probably upgrade as soon as I can get the newer "better" phone on the cheap. I WILL NOT pay $600 for a phone
[EVO 4G Accessories] 2k4mach:
depends on if a phone comes out that just blows me away before my upgrade discount is available in june.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
$200 was a great price point for the EVO. If they do the same for a dual core, I'll be using my Sprint Premiere after a year.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
Depends on several things. I paid full price for the evo and im contract free now.

So chances are I would change. I like the evo but I also like new "toys"
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jbcarrera:
I love my evo but i have to say that i would wait for my contract to be up before i get a new phone unless i absolutley positivley have to have it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Vandam500:
I bought my Evo 2 weeks after launch. Had it during that up until the G2 was released. Sold the Evo and bought the G2. My main reason was the physical keyboard. I was tired of the hassle of touch typing so I gave in and went with this phone. While I sometimes miss the larger screen, I am extremely happy with my decision.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
I read the G2 can be overclocked to 1.9 MHz. I personally find that hard to believe as my snapdragon will only go to 1.19.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jbcarrera:
not stablely. it can make it to 1.57 stable with the right rom otherwise its 1.489 the evo can be clocked to 1.257 stable again with the right rom but the snapdragon in the g2 is a new updated version of our snapdragon that has been severlly underclocked.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ausch30:
New phones are usually first shown at the trade shows early in the year like CES. They usually don't become available until Spring like the Incredible which was April or May, and the EVO on June 4th. If that holds true next year, we probably won't have anything new available for about another 5-6 months. The biggest thing for me is screen size. I've used my buddies Incredible, and a couple friends have the Epic and I really don't want anything with a screen any smaller than the EVO. I am a premier customer so I get upgrades every year. I love new toys but it would have to be pretty great to pull me away from my EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mmegalodon:
Indeed some awesome phones coming out and I'm definitely a sucker for new toys but I will wait until something really catches my interest in every aspect of the device. The Shift talk has got me thinking about physical keys again even though I was convinced I was over them. Basically just looking for a new true step up. The Evo will still get use in some manner though. I love this phone so I won't just jump at the next big thing unless it really is necessary. Then again, I have a problem with passing up cool stuff.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G Accessories] subcypher:
I usually buy a new phone once a year when my upgrade date comes along. It's my "major purchase" of the year. I will sometimes wait an extra six months or so if I hear a new phone is coming out that I think I'll really like.

I just upgraded to the Evo last month. I gave my Hero to my girlfriend so she could get rid of her Palm Pre. We're both happier now. When the time comes I will upgrade and give her my Evo. She likes new phones, but she doesn't need to be as far along the curve as I feel the need to be.
[EVO 4G Accessories] THunDA:
I love my EVO but I always upgrade to have the latest and greatest, plus I like to flash different roms so I usually upgrade once the Devs start to focus on a different model.
[EVO 4G Accessories] devnulldroid:
Commitment..Whats that?

I fired AT&T, paid them $400 in termination fees and sold both our iphones and went with EVO and Sprint thanks to AT&T pricing games and wouldnt hesitate to do the with Sprint and EVO.

Its a dog eat dog world out there and its about time phone companies and others realize it.

Commitment is a thing of the past. Treat your customers right and dont screw em and they will stay with you.
[EVO 4G Accessories] evoss05:
I guess i'll go with everybody, will upgrade IF is way better than evo, like at least 8 times better, but still keep it under the pillow; will never sell.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jsanta11:
I love my evo but if something like that acer phone I just saw on engadget with a 4.8 screen which looks good not huge on sprint i would switch...

HtcEvo 4G
[EVO 4G Accessories] luma:
I am not at all committed to my phone (or laptop, or car, or pretty much anything besides my wife). If a new model comes that is superior enough to warrant spending the money, then that's what I'll do. I sure do like my EVO, but I'll drop it in a hot second if something better is available. As it stands, I don't think there's anything better available.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JayStation3:
Im loyal to my phones, I had a Samsung PH900 (I think), but it was the competiton for the razor, it was called the blade. I had that phone for 5 years before I up graded to the samsung instinct. I had the instinct for 2 years before I got wind of the EVO... I FINALLY got to buy the EVO this August. Word to the wise though, when doing your up grade, DO NOT go thru Sprint! Go to Radio Shack, they will do your 100 rebate in store and you dont have to wait for sprint's 6-10 week return... Plus you get the phone for less than you would at sprint...

But to answer the OP's question... I will stick with my EVO till it dies... Ali is still the best boxer ever, even if he cant box no more :) The EVO will always be the best smart phone ever...IMO

Sent from the MATRIX... while plugged into my EVO... using the XDA app... from a galaxy far-far away.......
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
I love my evo and I'm stool amazed by it every day. But I have an upgrade available right now, I'll switch as soon as Sprint offeres something that trumps the evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] alxrock:
I've been with sprint for years and finally upgraded to smartphone status when the evo came out. I love it, but won't upgrade until something Amazing comes out for Sprint that I can qualify for upgrade savings. I can't see myself going with another phone anytime soon... Although the psp phone has caught my eye.
