[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrp07f:
I'm sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find anything exactly like the issue. My friend has an EVO and asked me to help him with getting custom roms onto it, so we set out to root it last night. We used unrEVOked as it seems the most idiot-proof, and the last thing I wanted to do was brick his phone. The whole root process ran without a hitch, and afterwards we were booting into recovery, and when booting back into the main OS, the superuser app was on the phone. But, when I downloaded wireless tether, the computer would connect to the app, but no bandwidth was allowed.

The only issue I could think of was that we rooted with the sd card removed, as he was afraid of it being wiped for some reason. When the phone was booted into recovery, it seems like something error-ed out due to the sd card not being there. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burt Reynolds:
Are you using "Wireless Tether for Root Users"

http://www.appbrain.com/app/wireless-tether-for-root-users/android.tether

This app has many, many isuues. If you just downloaded it from the Market or AppBrain you likely got the generic, older build.

Go here...

for the various different versions and find one that works for you.

I could never get more than about .3kbs and .1 up and I tried em all. now finally with pre 15 it's working. I get about the same between my laptop tethered and what the phone gets by itself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
I tried using Wireless Tether for Root as well and I had the same issue wihich forced me to search out a ROM that already had HotSpot unlocked, I am currently using Frost and it comes with the Sprint Wifi Hotspot unlocked and it works great. I know there are several other ROMs out there that also have this feature... If he isnt too hooked on the stock ROM, maybe you could suggest him finding a new ROM...

All right, I've confirmed root on the Evo and flashed clockwork recovery, and now trying to flash a rom. On the page for installing CyanogenMod, it mentioned installing an Engineering SPL, and I was wondering what the purpose of this is and if it is necessary. We are trying to install Warm if that makes any difference.

I've always ran Sense UI roms because I love the look, the feel, the features. But I've read so much about how cm6 is better and faster and many opinions. So I'm thinking of giving it a try. But I am not a fan of its looks. It's defiantly too plain for me and I love customizing my phone. If I flash cm6, is there ways to maybe make it sense like? Or maybe even better. The only widgets I'm familiar with is beautiful widget, and that's just to get a sense like clock. And I love having my 7 pages, but 5 would work too. Can anyone help me out and lead me in the right direction. Maybe some screen shots for some ideas of what could be done? Or widget ideas? I thought I read before there was a ios like theme but I can't find that post again. Any advice is much appreciated.:)

Download the version of busybox that tib recommends and don't use batch uninstall. Uninstall one by one.

I never have problems with tib uninstalling anything.
[EVO 4G General] fgr:
Had the same issue with Titanium after the 3.70 update.

I used root explorer to just move the apps out of the /system/app folder and that took care of it.

Still curious as to why Titanium can't do it anymore :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Compusmurf:
Lots of folks are having this issue on 3.70.x roms. Use root explorer.

For the one that said use it's version of busybox, tried that. Tried Chuck Norris mode too, still nada.

Then there is something wrong with your rom installs.

I built a rom myself based off the 3.70 update. I also have hw003. I have removed everything sprint related (nova, nav, tv, etc) including sense completely using nothing but tib.

EDIT: For good measure here's a shot of my software build and my app drawer. Excuse the colors, I was calibrating my colors at the time I took the screenshots.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Louer Adun:
I know there are already plenty of threads related specifically to the Battery, but I didn't see any that specifically discussed the current Draw of the GPS chip (please give me a link if I am wrong). As far as secondary system hardware goes, this seems to be my biggest battery killer, although I have seen other posts where users are getting less than 10ma with their GPS enabled.

Here is the battery consumption I am seeing reported by Current Widget:

standby - 6-7ma

standby w/WiFi 8-10ma

standby w/GPS 55-60ma

I am almost always near a WiFi router that I can use so I always leave my WiFi on. The current draw I am getting for always having WiFi on is very acceptable IMO but the GPS draw seems insanely high. I used to own a G1 and would always leave the WiFi and GPS on.

Another thing to note is these tests were all done inside, so perhaps the fact that the GPS receiver couldn't locate the satellites caused the GPS unit to burn more battery than needed.

What is everyone else seeing for their current draw when their GPS is enabled? I would really like to have this on all the time, as my wife and I religiously use Latitude, but its not too useful if my GPS isn't enabled all the time.

If you are getting significantly less current draw please provide your system info, specifically what radio you are using.

I am running HD2ONE on the Energy Rom with the 2.15.50.14 Radio

Does anyone know how to add the following:

"Reboot"

"Reboot Recovery"

I've looked on Google and the XDA forum for a long time and was only able to find hacks for Captivate, Fascinate, and other phones but MyTouch. I've tried their instructions, but the lines of code are completely different.

I'm currently running the TMUS rom (in signature), and don't want to switch to the Cyanogen Mod. I love the speed that rom has without all of the extra features of Cyanogen.

Please let me know if you know anything, or could point me in the right direction.

I can baksmali, smali, edit framework-res.apk, just need the instructions somewhere... :\

[EVO 4G Accessories] subcypher:
When I bought my HTC Evo I purchased the Otterbox Commuter from Sprint. Being a Premier Customer I received a discount on accessories in addition to the sale they were running on accessories at the time. After getting all set up I gave my HTC Hero to my girlfriend to replace her Palm Pre. She liked her phone, but knew she wanted a case. I gave her the option of the Invisible Shield from Zagg, like she'd had on her Pre, or an Otterbox Commuter like mine. She liked the idea of the larger case because she's hard on phones.

So, I ordered her the Commuter and it arrived at the house when I was on my lunch hour. I placed it on the counter so she'd see it when she arrived home. I figured she'd understand that I was placing it there so she could see it and I would install it when I got home. Boy, howdy, was I wrong. I came home and she'd destroyed the screen protection that comes with the case. I tried as best I could to save it, but it was hopeless. It was completely ruined.

I told her that she could use the case, but to continue babying her phone because there was no screen protection at this point. I emailed Otterbox and explained the situation to them. I requested that they send me a new screen protector and I would pay for it, as well as shipping. I didn't hear from anyone for about a week, but someone did get back to me. They offered to replace it and requested my information.

I sent them my name/address/previous order information and they told me they were sending a replacement out. I thanked them profusely and, again, offered to pay for it. They denied my offer. About a week later I received a package in the mail. They sent a whole new case, not just a screen protector. They replaced the whole order! Otterbox is the best.

tl;dr: My girlfriend destroyed the screen protector to the Otterbox Commuter case I bought her. Otterbox replaced the whole case, not just the screen protector, for free with free shipping.

I used to sell Otterboxes and Body gloves. Otterboxes may not be cheap, but they do a hell of a job protecting your phone. Body Gloves are a bit cheaper, but they're nothing compared to Otters.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jdogg836:
Those Blackberry and iPhone 3GS Defender cases were some of the most insane, most durable cases on the market. I had people come get one and intentionally throw or drop their phone just to prove how much it worked. Never saw a broken phone from that situation once. I was always from the camp of have it "in case" that happens but don't tempt fate.

The only issues I ever had with those was the "oil slick" appearance that pretty much mandated an anti glare screen or the baby powder trick.

Now with the new batch they've apparently corrected the "oil slick" but the durability of the cases for the iPhone 4 and EVO are way way down. Not only do they have parts that break (kickstand anyone), but the rubber fits in this little tiny channel and gets stretched just enough where it comes out very easily.

The service from the customer service has always been superb, as long as you call and patiently wait to speak with someone. I realize they have a relatively small CS team, so this is not an issue with me.

The only issue I take out is the quality of the cases they are currently putting out. I broke a kickstand on an EVO defender having never used it, opened it, and never dropped the phone either. Sure they replaced it, but that thing crumbled without any force or abuse.
[EVO 4G Accessories] vbetts:
It's a little plastic clip though, so that part you can't really be too surprised about. I'm surprised with how rough I am on my Evo the kickstand is still there. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Good for you, I know many people that rave about their customer service.

However, the new stuff seems to have taken a nose dive in quality. Buyer Beware. I'm an advocate of Ballistic and Trident now.

I'm outgrowing my 8GB class 2 micro SD ... growing to 16GB.

How do I migrate to a new card?

How do I preserve everything on present SD? app, pics, music etc.

Is it a FAT32 format or ext3 formatted card?

What folders & folder structures are extraneous (ie. left over from previously removed apps) which DO NOT need to move to the new SD?

"corrupting everything on both cards and loading them with virii"

LOLLL

Ya ok, he'll get right on that. Even hypothetically if his machine was full of "virii", they wouldn't have any affect on android. It's just as risky as mounting your sdcard through your usb. (which most users do on a daily basis) Honestly dhkr123, that would be like the most unnecessary route of action for such a simple task.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamikd:
Agreed, just be sure to format your 16 gig card, while it's in the phone, through settings. Then mount it and copy over the contents of the 8 gig.

you can use odin to flash back to stock then try to flash axura again, or enter into recovery mode and flash the rom again. you might have just gotten a bad flash.

Your main issue is that you didnt flash a stock rom first and depending on the version of Cog you didnt disable vodoo either. There is an FAQ in the Axura thread for a reason.

I have searched the evo forum and read about every thread on screen grounding issues. I just replaced my screen for the second time, using the same vendor and it works perfectly when I'm holding it or when it's on the charger. Since work is so tough on my phone i finally got a case for it, an otterbox from the sprint store. While in the case it is unresponsive most of the time, rendering the phone useless. It has been rooted since the first root methods were available and I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1.1, and I never had issues while in the bodyglove case. However, the bodyglove i had was a pos and broke on its own. Anyone have any ideas?

You have to flash Russian firmware first so that Mother of Russia could 0wn your device.

It is not "russian" ROM but international. It has about 40 languages under localization option and 19 languages options for the keyboard.

For some reason the JJ4 ROM comes with russian localization that can be changed to any from selection of 40 after the first initialization.

This ROM was the first full ROM including all components of Android Froyo 2.2.

It was tested and seems to be safe for newbie.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitVenom:
Some of you may have seen me floating around a number of forums over the past months - trying to get a specific shared library built for the Galaxy S series...

And I just spent the last 24 hours at my office ODINing (is that a word?!) every ROM I could find, getting it to root and setup, and pulling out that .so for comparisons.

It seems like between 2.1 ROMs and 2.2 ROMs - libaudioflinger.so _never_ changes.

Now I know that's a result of most ROMs being mixtures of official elements and the bits that are 'safe' to rebuild/replace/remix. But I want to ask directly - has _anyone_ been able to do a 'real' AOSP build (2.1 or 2.2, I don't care) that was even semi-functional? I imagine plenty wouldn't work, but did sound?

Is it likely that the Nexus S vendor setup for 2.3 AOSP will end up enabling a source-level hybrid for Galaxy S AOSP builds?

I've spent ~80+ hours on this now, and am extremely frustrated that I can't get a single .so to build (only libaudioflinger.so) that actually works. It's my job, so it's no small issue for me :)
[Epic 4G General] travo:
I'm still pretty new to Android, I want to get into customizing my epic, specifically learning how to load custom roms.

I'm looking for some good how to resources, I've done some preliminary forum searches with some success.

So far I've updated to 2.2, and had the gps problem. Searched for a solution, found multiple threads for the fix, most involve using Oden, I've had zero success with getting oden to see my phone.

So I searched for alternative methods,

I finally fixed the gps problem, by doing one click root > made a clockwork back up > flashed back to DI18 > stepped outside, got gps lock > Flashed to the DK28 > Then Restored my clockwork back up. After that the gps has been super fast to lock, usually under 5 sec.

But I'm still chasing the dragon, I want the AOSP Lockscreen, I've tried clockwork installing different versions from the popular thread about the AOSP Lockscreen, to no success.

But now I get an occasional black out screen, the phone is still on, it if I leave it alone, the stock tw lockscreen comes back.

Now frustrated that I've come across another quirk, I want to try one of the 2.2 based roms, particularly the Nebula.

One problem, I can't find instructions on how to install it.

I do see instructions for other roms, I'm assuming that it's a similar procedure.

The Epic experience says oden to a stock 2.2, then in clockwork "wipe data/factory reset" before flashing the rom.

One question, when I do an oden flash to 2.2 and "wipe data/factory reset" will it delete my clockwork back up?

Current mission.

1. Have a backup of my data and apps.

2. Install a custom rom

3. Restore my data from backup.

Questions:

1. Anyway to use a custom rom with out Oden?

2. Is it completely necessary to do a factory reset?

3. Factory reset, will this effect my phone account information, such as being associated with my phone number and sprint account?

Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
I'm a linux user, I've never used odin and I'm running the current rom of mammons.

When using clockworkmod to do the resets for factory and cache, it will not wipe anything stored on the sd card. So as long as your clockworkmod backup is on your sd card, and it should be, you won't lose it.

Factory reset and deleting cache its required. Do it 3 times to make sure its done before flashing the me rom.

It will not mess with your phone number our account info.

I recommend downloading titanium backup and backing up all app data and user system info.

If you have more questions that you couldn't find on the forums, our need clarification, ask away.
