Yes you HAVE to add a line to your account, get the min possible for everything, I think I got 450 mins for 40, pay as you got text msg, and 10 android plan (150mb).

Do not use the line or even insert the sim to make sure you don't accrue any charges on that line. After 30 days or the 31st day tell them you no longer want this line and you want to cancel it. They will charge you a $200 ETF fee but you get to keep the phone. So like I said a brand new G2 will cost you $200. Thats if you get the activation and shipping fee waived which you should (I did).

Good luck I hope it works for those who are interested.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
Blah I paid 650 :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
can't u like add a line for like 5 bucks a month? or they make u put some kind of data plan on it and stuff?
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
It's not so easy.

You will have to add a line with data. If you cancel and want to pay the $200 ETF, you will still have to return the phone or cough up the plan's worth of data fees.

Don’t Buy The HTC EVO, It Is A Seriously Flawed Device

- TechCrunch, June 9, 2010.

I remember reading this article after I'd just bought my Evo and considered returning it. Well here we are six months later. Sprint ran out of the "seriously flawed devices" and was backordered for months. My friends have salivated over it and one friend thought it shocking (he was almost mad--weird) that I could flash ROMs, customize it and make it more useful than his laptop, even when my phone had terrible battery life of eight hours (most netbooks have < 4hrs)--I'm up to 20 now.

:D Still think it's seriously flawed?
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
It's definitely not as bad as that article made it out to be, but in reality, we should have to hack up a phone to get the features we want. My battery life is better now, with new kernels, roms, etc. but nowhere near where i want it to be. i still have to charge it at least twice a day to keep up with my moderate usage.

other then that, i got no complaints. i love this phone!
[EVO 4G General] Leukay:
Wow. I was literally laughing out loud towards the end of the article. It's obvious that he isn't a fan of HTC Sense, but the fact that he took it out on the Evo is kinda surprising. Sense does hog some resources, but it doesn't make the battery life THAT much worse than the Nexus One's. Sure it was less than average at launch, but HTC has done a lot to remedy that. But I wouldn't call less than average "abysmal". Thanks for the great read OP
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Funniest part is right at the end when he says it shouldn't take long for a better Android device to come out. Well, here we are, 6+ months later, and IMHO, he's wrong, as the Evo (at least for me) is still the best device out there. Other people may not agree, but this is just based on my experience with the Epic and now my new Evo. And yes, I've played around with some other devices. To each his own though. I'd much rather just carry an extra battery and have a killer phone.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
that "article" was a joke, i didn't even read it as skimming i already saw inflamatory incorrect responses
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yup, the evo is still the best out there 6 months later. A someone said this is a mini netbook and gets better battery life than one, what more can you ask for?

My Xperia X10 is Debranded and Rooted one....bt its restarting alot. After Switch On the Phone it restart after Boot. Every time like that. after boot (In UNLOCK SCREEN) it restart itself. I flashed My Xperia X10 with several ROMs bt No solution for that. Please Suggest Any Solution for this Problem..I am So Weird with My Xperia X10.....:confused::confused::confused::confused::(:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try reformatting your sd card.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
instead of reformatting the sd card, you can try just deleting the contents of LOST.DIR and Android/data folders.

i would also go into application manager and clear data for gmail and gtalk.

then reflash to stock fw/rom. if it does it on stock firmware with all the stock apps (timescape/mediascape), then you might have a hardware problem.

are the roms you flashed stripped of anything? did you remove any apk's you shouldn't have (gtalk, gmail, etc).

Hi guys,

Is it possible to change the contact's default picture which you can see below in the attached file to an green android man like in other phones? I am sure it is, I just would like to know how.

Thanks in advance,
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
Go into contacts. Select the contact. Menu/edit contact. Tap the picture space in the top left. Follow prompts. Save.

Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodolom:
Well, I know that much, that's not what I meant. I want it to be changed systemwide, not per each contact. Like the one in the attached image.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
There is no default picture. The image in the OP post is the default. No way to change that (that I know of). The droid contact pic is something somebody added to an individual contact.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
That's incorrect. That is the default when the contact don't have a phone pic on a lot of full sense ROMs. We would have to dig in the contacts apk and change the png for it. Let me look..

OK, its in there. It's called

common_icon_default_avatar_300.png. we'll need the one from the evo, I know it has the Andy avatar. And maybe it's as simple add replacing it and naming it properly
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodolom:
Thanks man. I was going to correct the other person about him being wrong but I was not 100 percent sure. I would think it should just be a simple fix.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Ninja-morph?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
I was gone try last night, just got track down the png we want. I'll probably have to download a evo rom and get it there
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodolom:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
BTW; I specifically stated that there wasn't a way 'that I knew of'. Not a way that would perma stick.

So I wasn't wrong per say. I was simply exercising an educated guess.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:

ADB Push attached Phone.apk to /system/app and let me know if that's what you're looking for.

Make sure to nand or at least save your original phone.apk
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
Ha, yes bro. I already got I backed up. I'm bout to do my radio show but I'm on it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
K, I tested it on outgoing calls... it's a little too late to ask people to call me.

It's not a full screen pic neither, like OP has, that would require some serious xml edits, and then, people with actual pics would look all stretched, that happened with G1's dialers back in the day. Looks much better then that bogus original pic.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
Good job bro, it works for in call. How about the contact default. Without a assigned pic?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
What do you mean? For when you're browsing contacts in your phone book?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
Yes sir....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
OK, so this one may be a little harder.

In order to make all icons show up as an image of your preference, we need to change few pngs in com.htc.resources.apk.

Be advised that this may wipe all of your account data/settings so you may have to enter your google/facebook/whatever-else account info again.

You can certainly use a version of it from Iced 1.1.2 unthemed that I'm including but you're strongly advised to just adb pull your own .

adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

Then you would just replace following images inside apk (don't extract it, just replace images!!!)

common_icon_default_avatar_92x92

common_icon_default_avatar

common_icon_default_avatar_300

Push it back to the system, reboot, add your accounts back and you should be good to go.

You will also need Phone.apk. This needs to be pushed to /system/app as well

Attached: "New" images, Phone.apk and download link for com.htc.resources.apk from Iced 1.1.2 unthemed

Let me know if you have any questions.

ICED com.htc.resources.apk

Good deal bro. I was tryna figure out where those files where, thank u
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyklatzko:
For some reason icons are only changing in the contact list, not when I make calls and not in the call log. I looked through all the common_icon_default images and none of them are the stock images.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
My bad. You also need Phone.apk I updated my post.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QMAN101:
Two quick questions. Do the attached phone.apk and resources.apk have the new image already in them. I could not find them in my phone or on the attached.

Where in Minneapolis do you live?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Can you ever go back to factory default - Yes

Program you need to get more out of your phone is Rom Manager

Install, super user, BusyBox

This will give you the ability to install any custom rom you need on your phone.

if you have not tried a custom rom, try Nero 3.

Copy it to your Internal SD card, use install rom from SD option in Rom manager.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkertron:
I was able to root my G1 from DMD64 to RC29, now I have followed the steps to installing the flashing the img, and adding the radio and HardSPL but the last step installing the ROM I keep getting this message:

Installing from sdcard

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing package...

E:Can't find update script

Installation aborted.

what the hell? The rom i'm installing is from CyanogenMod.com update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
If you really have installed HardSPL, i.e. 0.95.3000 than the ROM will not install, because your SPL is not compatible to CM 6.x. Either you have to install DangerSPL (which I would not(!) suggest to you), or you should install 1.33.2003 SPL in addition with CustomMTD. Another possibility is the +14MB hack, but her you have to change radio and SPL.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkertron:
Just out of curosity, why not?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
It was discussed already on several places: DangerSPL is a SPL coming from the Sapphire and is only compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios, while the G1 initially had a 1.x radio, which later was updated to a 2.x radio. So only 2.x radios are compatiblke with the standard SPL and DangerSPL. Flashing DangerSPL having an incompatibe radio or installing an incompatible radio while having installed DangerSPL will cause a brick when you do it except using fastboot. In addition using the CustomMTD method you can partition your phone as you want, so even the old argument that DangerSPL provides a bigger /system partition is no longer valid. Due to that reasons there is no need for DangerSPL ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkertron:
Where do I download the suggest SPL?

Where's the posting for the walk-through on upgrading while using what you have suggested?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
The installation procedure, especially if you want to have +14MB is described here. Some basics and a zip file containing the 1.33.2003 SPL you can find in this post.

Is there a one button push to get there like most browsers have.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

also, you know the top right button beside the URL is a shortcut to bookmarks right?
[Droid 2 General] Optimus_droid125:
I have both of these on Apex 1.0.2. My problem is I can not get ROM Manager to boot into Recovery by its self when doing backup and restore and such. Also the reboot into recovery button under ROM Manager doesn't do it either. I've tried doing it with and without hitting the bootstrap recovery button first. Sometimes it boots with the green droid and the progress bar that starts and then a warning triangle comes up and the phone reboots as normal.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Which ROM manager? FRM? other ROM managers aren't made to work with the D2 and similar devices because the devices have to be bootstrapped. If you want to get into recovery it's best to stick with koush's bootstrap only as the others will mess up the way it's setup and reboot into recovery that way. It hasn't done me wrong yet and I've had my phone since September and I've flashed a little bit of everything and I've never used a ROM manger (D2 is my first android phone so no need) they may be fine for downloading but installing is always best done with koush's bootstrap.
[Droid 2 General] Spitemare:
ROM Manager from the market does not work with the Droid 2. You need to use Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
[Droid 2 General] Optimus_droid125:
I have koush's bootstrapper and koush's rom manager. Not even bootstrapper works to boot recovery. When click on boot recovery nothing happens
[Droid 2 General] Optimus_droid125:
It worked fine on my droid 2 fine until I flashed the apex rom onto it
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
have you pressed bootstrap recovery and received the "success" toast (notification)?
[Droid 2 General] Optimus_droid125:
Yeah,everytime I press it it says it.

And when im on rom manager and I press reboot into recovery it will boot show me a progress bar with the little android guy on it, it will go like a quarter of the way. Show me a triangle with an exclamation point inside the boot again normally
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Like I posted before I've never used a ROM manager other than Fission ROM manager so I would try and uninstall the ROM manager and re-bootstrap because I think having two recoveries on there will mess each other up especially because the ROM manager has not been made for the D2 which has a locked bootloader. You might even have to sbf to get rid of the install of the ROM manger recovery I'm not sure. Take it in steps though don't try to do it all at once.
[Droid 2 General] Optimus_droid125:
Thanks ill try it
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
No problem hope it works out for you.
[Droid 2 General] Optimus_droid125:
Thank you works perfectly. Got the apex gingerbread theme.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:

Hi, is there any way of hiding apps in the apps drawer? There are a number of apps like license keys that are in the drawers which I obviously don't want to get rid of but also don't particularly want to see every time I open it.

My phone is rooted, but I don't want to use a different launcher, I like Sense.

edit. sorry posted in the wrong section - should've been in the general section. Can a mod move it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palexr:
Just to reply to my own question. If you have a rooted DHD and have Titanium Backup then "Freeze" removes an app from the drawer. I have hidden my license key for Touchdown for example (touchdown still works) and swept all that social networking vaporware out of the way as well. I haven't deleted, just hidden them to make updates easier.
