[EVO 4G General] Mr. Monkey:
I'll go first....

I actually think this is an awesome idea. I think the idea of "not every phone is created equally" is a little over-exaggerated with the evo. Maybe we can start finding some similarities.

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 4

3.30.651.3

0003

HTC Kernel #17. (I also tried the King's #11 (i think) and got horrible battery drain!)

Not using SetCPU

No Battery tweaks

Moderate usage. Not sure on awake time. I will edit this later today to add.

Mostly phone calls. A couple of texts and emails. Some games while I'm on the throne. The occasional web search.

I get maybe 12-14 hours of battery life.

PRO's:

-it's pretty looking

-a themed rosie launcher.

CON's:

-I got better battery life with Fresh 3.4.0.1 and stock kernel.

-Doesn't offer the original HTC #11 kernel like Fresh does. Anyone have a link to it?

I would recommend this setup to anyone that wants a good looking rom that has lots of customization options. I use it mostly because of the look of it. But, it is quick, scores well on quadrant, and gets decent battery life... It is not the best I have found... but it will get you through most of a day on moderate usage.

---

Can someone tell me... does the battery life depend on how the kernel plays with the ROM? I could get about 20-24 hours of battery life on Fresh with kernel #11. Now that I'm on Myn's and I could find the #11 kernel again, would I get the same battery life?
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
Good point. One of my biggest goals is to help people who wish to flash a custom kernel find the right one that is friendly with the Rom and most importantly the hardware version. Imo a rather a kernel is going to work with a phone or not has to do a lot with the hardware.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wishka233:
Has anyone had a problem with the HTC Weather Widget not showing the correct location?

Mine used to work quite well (updating to different location as I moved around) and all of a sudden it got "stuck". Now it just shows one particular town no matter where I am.

I tried removing and re-adding the widget, turning on GPS, rebooting, updating roaming towers, etc and nothing seems to work. I did some googling and other people have reported it with the Incredible and a couple other HTC devices but no real solution. I am running the Virtous Rom but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Anybody have any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
Does it say 1/2 or 1/1?

If it says 1/2 or 2/2 then swype up and down and it changes locations.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wishka233:
Ah no i mean the "current" location that is suppose to be automatically selected based on what I guess is the local cell towers.

Basically the one that is 1/2.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman34:
Had that and fixed it

I had it happen seemingly by itself until I realized I had been messing with a few things to try to max battery life. Tap the weather, go to it's menu, hit settings and see if update automaticlly is checked. If not then check it and back up and hit settings again and see if it unchecked itself cause thats what mine did. If so then you must go to phone's settings, accounts and sync, turn on background data, auto sync, and weather. All fixed. Check Your update interval and make sure it is often enough as well. Hope it helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevo78:
Been looking everywhere on how to fix this, Finally got the right answer, big thanks to madman34
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpeMTBR:
Random

I'm glad you found a fix. I do notice sometimes (a couple times since I bought my DInc) that I get random weather locations like, Japan. This is probably more of a network/gps error and not the actual weather app itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flip212:
HI All,

I have waited and waited and............. waited for a standard Froyo Australian Optus ROM, I had not even thought about rooting the phone it was as standard as can be.

The ROM had finally come but I did my upgrade and the phone couldn't see the SIM. So I called Optus who passed me to Samsung who referred me to 2 different "service" centers hoping this was a standard issue with a standard fix. How foolishly trusting was I. so after getting off many phone calls it came to "send it in we will look at it". So I started my own research and ............... nothing (more than happy if someone knows where there is an answer and I just missed it)

So after this fail I was over it and so I loaded the DOC v9 JPO ROM rooting and all. Even after this the phone could still not see the SIM. =( I found the stock standard ROM loaded it and yes the SIM was fine so I tried once again the Optus release, FAIL, and then DOCs, FAIL. so I am back at the stock standard ROM and hoping not to have to send it away.

PLEASE HELP
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Looks pretty good and Thank You. Only thing I noticed is the detailed steps for Rom Manager and clockwork are missing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
Sure I will it in the guide in couple of days.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Nothing missing that I can see, looks pretty good.

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Well I thought since he is going to the extent on detailing all the steps he might as well talk about the ROM Manager and recovery. Someone will say how do I get in to custom recovery if it is not mentioned that it is needed. If you are going the detail route then this should be included IMHO. I think this will help many new users.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I meant as far as the s off and rom flashing. I agree with you though that cw needs to be outlined a little better I just didn't mention it b/c he said he was going to add it later. :)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
Added the Rom manager and clockwork recovery steps under "flashing new rom". Plz can someone make sure this thread stay on first page bec i have see if no one responds the old threads move to second page.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] moustafaraslan:
Thank you very much this is my first android phone and when I followed the other root guide I didn't press perm root in visionary (last step), and a mod should sticky this so that it stays on the first page :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
I am glad I can help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] moustafaraslan:
I also just flashed a rom using this tutorial and I can tell you it's pretty noob friendly. I mean I have flashed softwares on other phones but never on an android, once again great guide.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] peez206:
i followed this method and when it rebooted after the "perm root" my phone keeps getting this error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I can't really use my phone at this point.. any suggestions?

thanks.

Hey Mackster248 the videos look good. The only thing is the root video by u uses visionary r11 and so visionary r14 has more options than last version so some people might get confused. what u say?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] bigfdaddy:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ronin178:
I think if hboot is 89 like yours, there isn't a way to downgradebut I keep reading conflicting reports and since I have no intention of getting the update, have not read much further into it. I have seen it asked a lot in the questions forum, so try to read some of the posts there. Or if you can, search for gb update or root update or stuff along those lines in that forum and you should be able to find out rather quickly if downgrading is an option for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] citizen-erased:
Well ok I follow the method as is written or maybe im doing sumthing wrong but this is wat I did

1install visionary both r11 & r14 (of course one at a time)

2terminal emu apk from market

3dlwn the root folder (it came as rar file so in unzipped)

Placed it on sd

4turn debugging on & fastboot off

5 ran VISIONary

6 set system r/w

7temp root

8 blanket (it work)

9 I run terminal emu

10 enter commands

11 it tells me power off and reboot (power + volume down) to now if s is off

But this is where im stuck I still have s = on

& I have tryed twice with r11 & r14

Did I do sumthing wrong ? Or wat should I do ?

+edit+

And yes I have 2.2.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] citizen-erased:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinodollar:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] bigwillyg:
I never use the root.sh script since I got the manual method to work on the first try. Download visionary-r11 and gfree from your phone.

After you do the steps for temp root with system r/w, go into terminal, type su and then copy gfree to the /data/local directory run "Chmod 0644 /data/local/gfree".

Then switch to the /data/local directory and run "./gfree -f".

After it finishes, reboot and hold down vol- to go into hboot. You should now see s=off.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinodollar:
got it now Im now rooted
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jc61990:
^ same problem here, can someone help please. TY
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Try the gfree method.

If this didn't work out then it would be a good assumption that you have the "bad" eMMC chip. So before doing the gfree make sure you read up on the eMMC chip thread in the general section first.

There's a chance your phone could brick by rooting if you have the bad eMMC.

Alrighty.... here we go. I am running Gingerbread 2.3.4. The OP says:

How to get S =off and superuser permissions

Make sure you are on 2.2.1 software and fastboot is turned off, usb debugging is turned on and phone not connected to computer via usb cable... before u attempt this.

Soooooo.... can I successfully permaroot and s-off running gingerbread using this threads information or do I need to do something else? Do I need to downgrade to froyo? If so how?

The reason I ask is I got my MyTouch 4g 2 months ago. Followed this thread to what I thought was exact. I ended up with fail pu and total brick. HTC fixed the beast but I got it back with gingerbread. I really want to root this beast as I want to putz with the custom roms. I have an atrix so this phone is a spare (edge baby) but don't want to brick it again. Lemme know.

Thats strange. I didn't bother to check it before. Mine say mounted as r/o. After i went in the file explorer. Why do u need r/w for?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] persichini:
OK so I reran it... When i open root explorer i can set the / directory to R/W but when i go into /System i can not set it to R/W.

Also after the reboot i can SU in terminal. any other thoughts on whats wrong?

So i reran visionary and did temroot with "set to r/w" checked and then permroot. the phone did go into reboot but never started so i pulled the battery. rebooted the phone and still no R/w. what else can i do. or should i try redoing the visionary again.
