damn i just loaded the latest cm and its stuck on bootanimation.

do i need to wipe data/cache even if i just got the phone and this is the first thing i did?

minus a few apps

edit, got it up and running. so now someone tell me how to overclock this puppy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
anyone? how do i overclock it?

side note, anyone know of roms that are close to stock or at least have all the sprint goodies? like the tv and widgits

If u have the new 2.02 then u will brick ur cam with cm the new phones have a new cam and thats why thats the only phones that got the 3.30 ota so no u cant have cm on it untill he updates if u do u will have to buy a new phone because the cam will be screwed look in cyans thread for that and u cant downgrade the hboot meaning u can flash splash screens
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
hboot is .97.0000

so i have the old cam? whats the difference?

and how the fuzz do i overclock it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
Yes bub. You have the older camera. If you want to overclock the device. You need to install an overclock kernel. Once you install overclock kernel then you can use setcpu from the market to set to desired clock speed. But be cautious and don't just overclock to max and set to boot cause you could get stuck on a boot loop. And that sucks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsock:
i know how , but where do i find overclocked kernals? i dont see any in rom mgr

also what is difference in new and old cam?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
You can't find the kernels in rom manager. You need to search these threads to find the kernels. If you search ultimate kernel review you can find what you are looking for. The op of ultimate kernel review tested severel different kerenls and posted links. And the difference between the old and new cams(or cameras) are the manufacturer. Newer evos have the newer camera's older evos have the older camera.

Hi everyone,

I have a rooted HTC Desire but a friend of mine has a HTC Legend.

As far as I know, rooting this device is quite complicated and need to create a Goldcard. I don't want to impose that to my friend.

So, the only possibility to acquire root privileges is to use a soft root app.

And I wonder if I can install ClockWork ROM Manager and the ClockWork recovery while I'm root. Then I would change the ROM.

Is it possible or is it gonna brick the device ? In other words, is the soft root allows me to change ROM or is it just to obtain root privileges within the installed ROM ?

Thanks for your help :-)
[Legend Android Development] ikdegek:
NO QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT

is it so hard to read????:mad:
[Legend Android Development] g0dshead:
Answer change rom with softroot :No

Answer brick phone trying this :NO , why? cause it basicly wont make any modifications to your phone unless fully rooted.

As to it beeing difficult rooting your friends phone , it is not. Al it takes is some carefull reading and common sence.

There are loooooooooooooooads and i meen looooooooaaaads of howto's here to ease your life.

Good luck.
[Legend Android Development] tonyfromparis:
The problem is not rooting the phone. I know how to do it but rooting the HTC Legend imposes the creation of a goldencard.

This means my friend needs to keep an extra SD card... And he's not "geek" enough for that
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
When the phone is rooted he doesn't need a goldcard anymore. I simply formated my goldcard after successfully rooting the phone and it works like a charm.
[Legend Android Development] tonyfromparis:
Gr8 !! That's a good news !!!

:-)
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
GUYS! You don't know what are you talking about! Goldcard is ordinary sdcard with some bits changed in boot sector. That's all. It can be used as ordinary sdcard with no problems at all. It can even be formatted or repartitioned (with more than one partition) and stll remains "gold".
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
Yes...I don't know why your're so "afraid" of it. I was creating a goldcard at the beginning and since then I'm using it as a normal sdcard (I didn't buy another one yet). You don't need to be a geek for that. Help your friend by creating his goldcard, than let that card in the device forever...

There is this Beautiful Dusk Theme for HD2 created by grzegorz10:

Can someone port the Dusk Clock Widget, I would love to see a fully working Dusk Clock with HTC Weather animation on our EVO.

One dude on here has it ported and has completely ignored my PM to share it with us here on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9440768&postcount=11725

So am I asking other talented members here to see if we can get an official port made that all of us on XDA can share and enjoy.

Thank You

haha, nevermind. i sometimes forget that winmo device
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neckface:
This can easily be ported, actually. Not so sure about how it'd look with the animated flip clock from the new Sense, I' not so great with PhotoShop. But I'm downloading the ROM now and I'll see if I can put it together real quick.

Edit: I dunno what the hell is up with WM but they're custom ROMs are RUU's? Lol Weird, I really have no idea what to do here. Not unless I have the actual apk.

I asked him if he could get me the png's to his flip clock in his thread. Hopefully he gets back to me or somebody else ports it before then. It's a beautiful flip clock.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mele:
That would be so cool dude, looking forward to see what you come up with....Thanks!

I'm planning on porting his entire theme includeding the task bar icons etc.

But I won't get a chance to start on working on it until the 15th.

I also didn't really ask hos permission yet... but I'm sure he wont mind.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
u will need to have a tool to dig out icons for the task bar from a dll file and u would also need cfc editor to pull out the images off of the manila files.

edit:

actually i have all the png's from his theme... just dont have time to mess with it now.. i do hope that u know how manila actually works... cuz other wise u will need sometime to figure out some things...

anyways... here is the pngs used in his theme... i didnt sort them out cuz manila doesn't really work like the packages for the android... its just all in one big folder with numbered manila files and not actually names.

anyone that feels like they wanna give it a go... go for it.. i will personally start a full port of this theme sometime next weekend and since i wanna make t perfect with everything thats the theme has it might take sometime to finish it completely.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mayonesa:
I think you can find it on beautiful widgets. Or something close to it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mele:
neckface might have a quick swing at porting the clock widget

aamikam sounds like you got interested in this long before I did, looking forward to seeing a Dusk Theme Thread.... :D

It s just too bad that dude I mentioned is unwilling to share a port he already made....:mad:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aamikam:
Switching images around is the easy part... making it all fit and look good in a unified look is the hard one.

I know people think its easy to theme once u have the images... but that's not true if u want the theme to be unified...

U probably didn't try my theme cuz u probably don't like the look of it.

But just so u can see what I mean when I say unified... give it a try.

I rework every tiny little 12x12 icon and make sure every apps has the same changes as made for everything else.

And yes i did think of porting it for a while now... but my priority was other things.

I'm just happy that since I also themed Manila before I know all the files already... if u look at the zip I uploaded u will see that its very hard to figure what's what in there.

I'm having trouble with the time on the phone, The clock is wrong in hours. If I for example set the clock to be 9:20, I look at the mobile 30 minutes later and the clock is 11:20. It started with the change from summer to wintertime I think. I have installed the latest ROM version availible for scandinavian user. And ive tryied change the clock at all the clock settings locations on the phone.

The backlighting on my keyboard hasn't worked since I rooted. Is there any kind of mod or kernal to flash to get it working again? Or maybe a setting I am missing somewhere? I know it is tied to the light sensor.

It ended up being the light sensor. It somehow got set to custom values, which were all set too low.

How can I enable BLN with this Kernel? BLN Control says I need to go into "advanced ULK features" in CWM but I dont have that option in my CWM anywhere. Running CWM 2.5.1.0 according to Rom Manager. Is there another way to enable it?

Sorry if this has been answered.
[Fascinate General] ktez:
I haven't tried that kernel, but which version of the BLN app do you have? The one from the market works with some kernels, but you need the one from the I9000 forum post for others. If you search "bln app" in the I9000 forum you should find it - its the .5 alpha version for older kernels. If you can't find it let me know and I can link it but I'm on the xda app right now .....
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
I'm using the latest from Market. I tried to find 0.5 on the forums but was unable to. Can you post a link please?
[Fascinate General] ktez:
Sent you a PM......
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Tried using the BackLightNotification settings 0.5 alpha but it says BLN is not installed on this device.

BTW, I was wrong, Im using StupidFast 1.2.3.

Any other suggestions of how I get to that other feature in CWM Recovery?
[Fascinate General] ktez:
I don't believe our phones have that feature in cwm. Crazy thought but what about trying a different kernel? I don't know how important vibration or haptic is to you but I'm running jt's latest 11/29 non-voodoo kernel and it has both bln and vibration. I don't know what else to suggest if neither bln control app is working for you. Or what about the newer StupidFast kernel on ROM Manager - I think its v. 1.5.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Yeah I could try the JT non-voodoo. Can I just flash the JT kernel in CWM directly over StupidFast and do the same in reverse if I need to roll back? I can live with no haptic but I need the phone to be able to vibrate for rings and notifications so I know StupidFast 1.5+ is not an option now.
[Fascinate General] ktez:
Yes you can flash it right over the StupidFast - I did and had no problems. Are you familiar with irc? There's a download link there for the 11/29 kernel - just make sure you get the right one because there's a voodoo and non-voodoo one. PM me if you have trouble finding it.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Thanks... that worked.

There's no option to disable it under the camera setting. And I have to disable wireless networks & GPS together before removing its ability to geotag. But by doing so, my google maps/navigation won't work.

So is there a way to just disable geotagging or wipes the info from photos completely?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] removesstains:
I bumped this earlier, but i think i figured it out.

go into your regular settings and go to location and security and UNCHECK both "use wireless networks" and "use GPS Satellites" I checked the photo i uploaded to picasa and i get this:

Latitude: 0.000000° N

Longitude: 0.000000° E

So i believed it worked.

I gotta run so if any one else can do this to confirm. That would be great.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGibbage:
Is this really the only way to disable geo-tagging? Don't those two settings also affect the maps app? So the only real solution is to remember to turn off the location services before shooting a picture and then re-enabling it before using the maps.

For anyone who thinks this is not a big deal, read the stories about Adam Savage and his geo-tagging incident.

That's it. There's a GPS icon on the screen, but touching it just causes the camera to focus at that spot. The menu button on the phone doesn't do anything.

I have checked and sure enough, the geotagged information is being stored in the exif information in the image.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
BUMP, seriously, not being able to turn off geotagging in 2.2 is annoying.

The only way to turn it off is by turning off the GPS entirely, that is annoying!

They need to put an option in the camera settings to turn off GEO tagging.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
Ya I always thought geotagging and all the location apps are really really creepy. Companies collecting personal data anonymously is not THAT bad, but things that could single out/identify me as a individual are completely a different story.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
I rather thought this was a known bug even on 2.1 where geotagging would stay on even if you turned it off.

I just encountered this problem on a 2.2 ROM for the Captivate. I can't believe that more attention is not being paid to this security flaw. The only thing I found besides disabling location features on the phone is a program called Geo Eraser which will remove geotags from photos after they are taken: http://androgeoid.com/2010/10/remove-photo-geotagging-info-with-geo-eraser/ . This is not an ideal solution as you still have to remember to remove the geotag.

Does any body think that if Samsung had been on time with updates such as 2.2 and gotten us up to speed at a decent time that we would still be considered an elite phone instead of one just lagging behind?

IMO, the captivate is still elite :) I love my captivate, even running 100% stock. My friends with iPhone4's even love my captivate.

If the Nexus S turns out to be a Captivate++ with Stock Gingerbread, I am so buying that phone.

Otherwise, with custom ROMs and such we're doing okay.
[Captivate General] l7777:
It's called technology. It will happen to the newly released phones as well. If the phone you have still serves its purpose, then why worry about the next generation? Having something simply because it has higher numbers and is "new" or "revolutionary" is just being foolish and listening to a marketing department. Buy something new because what you have is not allowing you to do something.
[Captivate General] jgr208:
I am talking about 2.3 and eventually 3.0 not the phones in general, just us never getting up graded to the next OS.

[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I don't understand why our phones need to be updated through the CARRIER? Makes absolutely zero sense. Here we are updating our phones ourselves using other methods, why not roll it out in a way that DOESNT use att? makes no sense.

I mean u got the ****ing 2.2 build in your hands Google, give it to us yourself! Its an update! Its not like we gotta wait for at&t to roll out updates for our apps and **** right? Ugh x 9999
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
It makes sense because the Captivate was built for AT&T and Samsung and AT&T have a contract that stipulates that the carrier approves the updates and tests them prior to deployment.

If you don't want that situation, then you need to buy a carrier free phone - like the i9000 that was sold unlocked from Expansys and other sites.

If you buy an AT&T (or any other carrier branded phone) then you are stuck waiting for carrier approval. This is true with any brand of phone - Moto, HTC, etc. don't release updates until approved by the carrier.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
You're probably right, but I don't think so.

For all we know, the devs of these 2.2 roms work for Google and its just an under the table way of delivering what they know is lacking. Oh what now son oh!

[Captivate General] commander2k:
Wow, what a bunch of whining. If you arent savvy enough to install any one of the MANY 2.2 roms out there, why are you complaining that newer, more complicated phones will leave this one in the dust?

Anyways, I think official 2.2 rolls out soon, just got a text from ATT saying an update will be pushed to my phone. Also, this phone has the minimum specs for android 3.0, from what Ive read, so I dont see why you think we wont be seeing android 3.0. With the way we are modifying roms and kernels right now, even if we didnt get an official 3.0 update, Im sure we would be able to at least port it. These phones are monsters, this thing has better specs than my laptop I got 5 years ago that was about 8X the price.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
What did the text say? Sounds like you got a JI7 update message, especially if you are already running a 2.2 variant.

All the other 2.2 updates from samsung have been done via Kies, so i doubt that will be pushed 2.2. As for current Roms, most are based on beta 2.2 builds, none are 100% perfect - not that Samsung will do much better :)
