it does looks super easy.. and im sure i could do it.. but im just scared..lmao.. but i know ill do it one of this days.. just say.. **** IT.. lol it would be better to be an app with just one button to do it..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolageek:
The thing is that pretty much anything you do with root is going ot be far more dangerous than the actual rooting process. If you can't handle rooting you probably won't want to do anything else. (with the exception of one or two apps)

Flashing themes, or new ROMS or anything else will **** your phone up if you're not careful, far more easily than the fairly simple rooting procedure will.

And really - I used a three click rooting method. Is three clicks that much more scary than one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoreactionzox:
the root process is copy and paste easy the devs have tried to make it easy as possible so start thanking them and not demanding they work hard to even have a root for the phone let it go its easy copy and paste lol not that hard to read a guide that is made very simple if you are not comfatable rooting then dont try it at all because ones you root u need a custom rom cant be scared dude there is almost a fix for everthing exspecially if you ask the devs nicaly they will guide you throu problems i have only seen one brick that could not be fixed and that was i did it on purpose installed a wroung bootloader on 2.02

simple root 1click 4 evo

i have been on the fence on wether i should root or not and i think i am ready to root my evo. i have been doing some research and it looks like i have two options that would be best. i could dowload the sdk and root my phone that way or i could download the ota simple root 1click version 1.47.651.1. i saw a video on the simple root that had 4 clicks and then you had to go to extras and flash a recovery. it all seamed pretty simple but when i went to download the ota simple root file, instead of giving me 4 buttons it only gave me 2. it said it was the lastest version and so i went with it. i clicked the root button and it pulled up the command box and started doing it thing but after pushing the files it said that the adb was outdates and it was killing it got an error and it tried again went to pushing the pc36 said the adb was out of date again and gave error then continued to push the flash file os somthing like that.... and again it said adb out of date killing but gave error tried again and again and again... ect. until it went to red screen telling me when my phone screen had skating adroid men on it push power button to reboot and so on..... push any key to continue but phone never went to screen with android men. went over the whole process again and this time when red screen came up i did a factory reset and still nothing happened except for when it got to my home screen it said please wait while loading my take awhile then went to white screen with just htc and then back to home screen. i know this seems like a lot but the more thorough the better. can anyone help or point in the right direction? THANK YOU!!!

[Epic 4G General] drunix:
Just a thought that I think might improve developer collaboration and make it easier to have discussions about actual development tasks versus ROM packaging.

We have several talented individuals on here that build ROMs, they combine things that other people do, and add their own things and release a package of all of that. I think a lot of developers have no interest in releasing a ROM. If I come up with a fix for something, or a guide for how to do something else, there's no reason for me to build a whole ROM for that, I'd just release that on its own, and let others put that in their ROMs or just let individual users combine their own tricks together to make their phone act the way they want (in a way creating their own custom ROMs).

The development forum is inundated with ROM ("package") releases and very little attention is given to the actual things going into those.

Just to pick a random example, the latest VIPER rom includes a "GPS Fix". That fix basically replaces your gps.conf with one that changes the network time server that your GPS uses for syncing time for location calculations, and it enables use of Google's AGPS functionality from supl.google.com. This can be described as a GPS fix of sorts, but it definitely does not fix the GPS problem I (and many others) had with the GPS not finding any towers at all, ever under DK17. Nor do the release notes describe what the GPS fix is or what it should fix... This isn't a knock against BThomas, this kind of thing is appropriate for a ROM, it's advertisement of high level features of his ROM to his potential end users. Most of them don't care what exactly that GPS fix does, they've decided that his ROM is good for them, and they like the stuff he includes in general.

In fact, a lot of people are interested in that. I'm not--and I imagine many other would-be developers on this forum are also not interested in that. What I'd like is a forum where we can talk about actual development tasks and bugs, and resolutions to those bugs... only that, and nothing more. I.e. we don't care about a ROM release, we care about a particular bug fix, that may or may not be included in someone's prepackaged ROM.

Anyway, I'm new around these parts, and maybe I'm the only one that thinks this way--if so, I'll burrow my head back in the sand and mind my own business. I just think we'd get more actual development if we had a forum that was more about solving individual issues than competing prepackaged ROMs.

Edit: also wanted to add, I don't mean to pick on you, or anyone else in particular, BThomas, I just needed an example--this isn't a rant against ROM making, it's just a request for a place to collaborate on development, independent of final packaging... somewhere where developers who don't make ROMs, and developers who make different ROMs can collaborate on solutions to problems and new features and functionality together.

+1 to this..

Completely agree =)
[Epic 4G General] biscojams:
Also agree.
[Epic 4G General] neuton:
I agree with this also. I am no developer but sometimes its hard to keep track with all the fixes,so having a central place to look will be easier to choose when looking for an appropiate rom to use.
[Epic 4G General] chaostrodamis:
Totally agree

SyndicateROM v1.0.2 + Xtreme kernel v1.2.0 + Emotionless beast final = Great functionality, Exceptional performance, and Sweet eye candy.
[Epic 4G General] thedevilslettucemd:
I'n not a dev in any way but I agree with this idea. The forums are so cluttered with roms, mods, and "fixes" that the actual development threads are tough to follow/find.

Theres a search function, the only thing that needs adding, is a Q&A section like the Hero does.
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Searching is great if you're looking for the solution to YOUR problem. A Development forum would foster discussion to help with other problems.

Say I'm the Epic's greatest GPS expert. Why would I be searching for GPS when I know all I need about it? But if I'm browsing through the development forum and I see others discussing their GPS problems, then BAM. I offer my expertise and help out the community.

Note: I know jack squat about GPS :D Just an example.
[Epic 4G General] jprocha101:
Where would the ROM section be included?
[Epic 4G General] WolfKaBaL:
100% agree!

Roms need their own sub-forum, especially for new releases. All I ever see on the first page of this development forum are Rom releases.

The last time I used the program to return my Epic to stock...i ended up with a paperweight. I followed instructions to the LETTER and no luck. About a day or so later I found out that it was some invalid pit file or what-have-you but im still leery about using it to flash the new modem. I see the majority of folks on 2.2 havent had any problems but I just really wanna know if it safe to use...I dont wanna go back to best buy again with the same issue

[Fascinate General] rmflark:
Hi, I'm new to forums in general and English is my second language so forgive me if I do or say anything wrong.

I just bout Samsung Fascinate for Verizon a couple of days earlier and I have rooted and used RyanZA's OCLF V1 for the lagfix.

I just realized while trying to send a text message to a friend that my fascinate is canceling or backing out randomly. Say, if I were looking through my contact list to select the number that i wanted to send text to, it would just go back to previous screen. I tried again and got to point where I was typing in the message, only to have my phone back out to homescreen again. I wanted to try typing message in memo and copy/paste it from there but it canceled out of the memo app after popping up the recent app screen - which im supposed to see when I press the home button longer - continously.

It seems like my fascinate is performing the back button and home button action without me pressing the button for some reason! I couldnt figure out how to put this in short so i couldnt search on the web. I undid the lagfix using OCFL app but that didnt fix anything so I'm going to hard reset the phone. but if Im not mistaken the device is still going to be rooted after hard reset, and in case there are some other who have exact same problem as me, please help me figure out what is causing this and hopefully how i can fix this!
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
I just recently went back to 2.2; using Mammon's build.

As I was laying next to my phone I heard the phone making the radio reset noise.. so I checked it turns I lost connection to the sprint towers, had no data or anything but.. Roaming worked just fine..just couldn't pull any data from sprint.

I updated PRL and Profile with no success in fixing it; and reflashed the dk17 modem to fix the issue.

Was just posting this to see if anyone has had this issue; and the reason it's not in Mammon's ROM post is because I believe this to be the Modem issue Firon ran into previously before the leak's 'lauch'

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
I'm going to check it out right now
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
the market morph works great but this does not agree with my phone apk at all boot loops like crazy i think its cause v5 is built off of jk2 and not ji6 i could be wrong though
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
It definitely works, I tested it ok obsidian 3 times before posting...you gotta read the new installation instructions....once you apply the phone morph it is normal for your phone to tweak out....all you do is pull the battery and reboot and everything will be fine and the morph will be applied

the reason that happens with the Phone.apk morph is because that app is vital to the functionality of the Android OS, when when you apply the morph it temporarily disrupts the app, causing the operating system to go ballistic....but once you pull the battery and reboot, the OS resets and everything is fine again

I just tried this one with TW Nero beta 2. I know it's a beta, but you have been pining for feedback, so here ya go. The Vending.apk and Talk.apk flash OK without rebooting. The twWallpaperChooser.apk just skips. The twframwork-res.apk flashes, but it reboots the phone. At this point, the boot process never completes. During the theme boot animation, it vibrates like a FC would, and starts the boot animation over. This loop is perpetual and I cannot find a way to avoid it.

I hope this help, as this is a great theme and I would like to continue to use it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
Well this was never tested/confirmed on nero, so you are a pioneer in that regard. My guess would be that TW may have incorporated some gingerbread framework, in which case this theme would not be compatible

Can i request the font in the screenies please? Would it work on froyo?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krgross:
Just wondering if any headway has been made on updating this to work with the latest roms?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
Thanks for inquiring. Unfortunately Ive decided to leave this theme as a final froyo theme. I dont like the "gingerbread" ROMs, so ive had no time to play around with them and see what it would take to make this compatible.

I personally think the gingerbread framework is absolutely hideous (obviously this is strictly my own opinion), so if i decide in the future that i want to stick with one of the ROMs, you can be sure ill do my best to make this theme compatible.
