[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dan330:
dude... you ok... it aint as hard as ... building a new pc...

you just have to read and make sure you have everything addressed by the instructions. Dont skip anything or assume anything!

if you did the OTA(over the air update) from Sprint... you have just locked down your device... till some Dev (talented Developer) finds away to unlock it. Dont FU-- with it till you know it is done!

all you need to know is in this forum.. just look a little.

here is a start for you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701245

Hint: once you ROOT... do not accept any OTA updates from Sprint!!!! wait for a Dev to hack it and make it available to you here at XDA. It normally is only a day or two wait. If you update from Sprint... you have locked your device down again. Cat and mouse game... are you willing to play?

Hint: this does void your warranty... but there are ways to put the phone back to STOCK.. so you can get warranty.

@Dan330, you are a life saver , thank you very much ! i will try it out and i will get back to you a.s.a.p......thank once more !
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmr1234567:
Thank you for the link it has helped me out so much in understanding this process of this complex device , I am currently still learning or reading up on everything that has been done on this site. But now that I have some what of a understanding of how this works , I still have one question to ask, how long do you think of will take till some one cracks this ota that have downloaded to my HTC evo.I am such a noob , I should have looked closer before jumping in to this .
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Branj812:
tried flashing this on my phone with Fresh 3.5 running Netarchys 4.2.2 kernel and get stuck in bootloops.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dan330:
it could be pretty fast...

maybe 2 weeks .. and up to 2 months.

but maybe they already have it done:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

that is what I used... and it looks like they have they new HBoot 2.10 work around. I am not sure that you need for the new OTA, but this might be it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dan330:
are the 2 files... for both Dev.. are they the exact files??

they have the exact same name and size.

using the "hotspot"... is it an "ad-hoc" network?

I ask this because... I would love to find a way to get internet access for my PS3. Not for gaming but for downloading updates, demo games, and Netflix. PS3 does not support "ad-hoc".
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] napoleontheruler:
sorry if this is a noob question but how do i install the sprint wifi tether. im running fresh 3.5.0.1 and evry time i try do install the sprint tether it says application not installed
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Wuji_Fei:
You probably have to install the HotSpot in Fresh 3.5.0.1 first because it is removed from the ROM. You should be able to find it in your SD card under Fresh Removed Apps, called WifiRouter or something.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] napoleontheruler:
i know that. every time i try to install it says application not installed. does it need to pushed through adb or is it something else. its located in the fresh removed apps
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Darian89:
So whats the difference between the hotspot and the wireless tether on froyo besides the app logo? Also, if installed does the hotspot break 4g altogether?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ausch30:
Yes, you need to push it to the phone through ADB. You could also use Android Commander, makes all the command line ADB stuff super easy.

I was wondering this as well, is there any benefit over just using wireless tether?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] deonjahy:
yeah the benefit to "just using wireless tether" is that you can tether your wimax connection rather than having to put up with just being able to tether the 3g or wifi connection as is the case with this "hack"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] deonjahy:
when you search for wireless tether from the market make sure before you install that you scroll down to the bottom then select "go to developers web page" from there select the evo and at the top it will have the latest build. The most recent build works the best with froyo but any of them will work on android 2.1 if that is what you still have
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ausch30:
I gave you a thanks for your thanks meter. Never really knew the benefit to one over the other. I've almost exclusively used Fresh since the first release and it's always included Wireless tether so I've always just used that, sounds like the better option.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Darian89:
I'm the same way, I haven't switched to another ROM since, fresh is the only ROM I run, but yea the wireless tether does sound better since it doesn't require a hack
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
I can confirm this fix works great! So good, I have cooked it into my ROM! Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pimpEvo:
gonna reload the new Fresh an give this a shot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tempguest:
I can't seem to get this to work (nor can I get wifi tether to work).

I'm not sure what the problem is, but everything seems to be in order on my phone.

Here's a screenshot of what happens when I try to activate hotspot:

All relevant info for my device should be in my signature.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evoftw:
does sprint charge for this? because when i flashed the zip and ran the hotspot it comes up with this message.

"Error Code 67 .Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."

but after that it works, maybe i'm just paranoid that sprint may find out. btw, each time i turn the hotspot back on it comes up with this error.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mystery_tx_man:
I am thinking of getting an EVO this weekend. I read that wireless tether for root users can share the wimax connection on the EVO. Somewhere else I read that it can only share 3g speeds. I am new to this and am asking to see if I should buy hotspot from sprint or will wireless tether for root share at the same speed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Android wifi tether is free and can use 4G.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] davidbar2:
Hi

I work for a company that is in the business of private-security,and recently we decided to test the feasibility of creating a new product line of hand-held personal security recorders that will make use of RGB+IR channels image recording (reproduced from an in-house,custom built back camera based on one of the world's biggest manufacturers of raw cmos imaging sensors fitted with a proprietary bayer filter).

The host device is expected to be based on the ARM architecture and a powerful GPU chip (such as the the Adreno or Power VR latest chips) and although we haven't decided yet of the smart-phone brand that we'll be interested in converting,the model will probably belong to one of the biggest players in the market such as Samsung/HTC/Motorola etc.,and for the obvious reasons...

And here is the question...although we don't see any significant problems with fitting the custom-camera module instead of an original(,non-soldered,ofc...) camera box that comes with the OEM host device while maintaining the same footprint,power & heating envelopes and signaling interfaces (we have some great ASIC engineers here,I fully trust their abilities in that respect ;)),we're still unsure of our abilities to tweak the ROM of one of today's latest smartphones to include a custom driver (we'll probably hand to one of our affiliate software-house companies to do its coding...for a hefty fee :(,not to mention re-writing a camera app,hopefully not from scratch...).

I'd be happy to hear from you,techies of your opinion regarding this project,and considering that some amount of reverse engineering here is a given (right ?),will it be possible to achieve the design goal of the software part of the project in (roughly) 6 months time-frame,and with a budget that should not exceed 250-300 K USD ?

Thanks in advance

Those looking for the LinkedIn beta, look here: http://m.linkedin.com/android

Works fine on the Nexus S and integrates with Accounts & Sync.

On the page they say to join the group and suggest improvements.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DaannRoz:
I can see the linkedin app at the accounts & sync menu, but i can't get the options to integrate it with my contacts as described in the article on the main XDA website.

Normally my HTC Desire (running 2.2 rooted) gives the options to link a contact to a account, but i guess this is not build into the app right now?

So what function does the account & sync integration have at the moment?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] naorion:
I get the same. Rooted EVO running 2.2 - no option in Accounts and Sync to sync contacts and no LinkedIN listed under online directories in contacts - therefore no linking contacts with their linked in profiles.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] podb:
Same here - Rooted Hero 2.2 Sense.

It is possible to click/call on contacts within the LinkedIn application, but no sync with local contacts on the phone.

The app itself looks pretty good to me tough!
[G Tablet General] bijan588:
Sears has run out of tablets at the location near my house.

I asked when they wil get more and this was his response

"Due to high return rates, I dont think we will be receiving any more."

But we was not totaly sure.

So now what? I just snagged one off amazon incase they get pulled there too. I'm getting a bit mad.

EDIT: I went back there on my way home and spoke to the manager. He told me that the employee was mis-informed. And now I feel Like a jerk cuase I might have gotten that guy in trouble. Oh well.
[G Tablet General] aspeer:
Picked up one yesterday at Office Depot. They even matched the Sear's sale price of $379. Immediately loaded VEGAn - with the new ROM this device ROCKS!
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Not true... Many stores in my area have them and the ones that dont have dates for restock - 15 - 25 days on average...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I just called CS (for the second time today) and SEARS / Office Depot have not pulled the device, at least not yet. And allegedly an update is still planned for tomorrow. Allegedly.

My local Staples has definitely pulled it, even the floor model. They are all being sent back.
[G Tablet General] no-success:
Engadget has an article about this... I'd love to know what the defect is/was...

Though if i could guess its the fact that it says it has adobe flash support right on the box and as we all know thats not true.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/18/viewsonic-g-tablet-pulled-from-staples-stores-manufacturing-de/
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I called my Staples as well - it sounds like it's firmware related (as I expected). Not the crappy UI as much as things like the boot loops and FC's. Yes, it happens on stock, too.

And keep in mind that, with stock, users don't have XDA or clockworkmod to help them. I can't see how VS Customer Service can fix those issues since there's no way to wipe user data or redo the SD partitions.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Hopefully not the nivida problem again. I got burned by it 2 years ago (my HP laptop)...:(
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Maybe, VS should include a XDA developer link in the custumer support site or the gtablet package. :D
[G Tablet General] dohminator:
Engadget HATES the G Tablet

The Engadget guys are becoming f@#$ing pu$$ies, I agree for a normal user this tablet will be a BIG disappointment - GREAT JOB VIEWSONIC for screwing up!, but for advance users this is a decent tablet. It is just embarrassing to see both Samsung and Viewsonic screw up like this by going early to market with bad design decisions (7 inch tablets SUCK!!)

I am eager to see what the "manufacturing defect" Staples has uncovered!
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Well this really sucks. I was very worried this was going to happen, once these retailers dump the product, I'm afraid that VS will dump it too. Therefore, all of us that still have the tablet and actually like it will be left without any type of support or updates from VS.

I will assume we will be OK with the development that goes on here, but it would be nice to have VS supply us with stuff. I guess we can use the stuff from the Vega and Z-pad. Any thoughts on that aspect?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've ben concerned about this for weeks, now. Staples pulling it is bad enough, but if SEARS And Office Depot do the same then I will be very worried. And i think there's a possibility that it could happen. In 3 months, we could completely lose any support from VS.

But, as you said, zPad will hopefully be alive and well as well as the Vega. They have superior UI's and if they continue supporting it into 2.3 then we will be in pretty good shape. I would say that the possibility that VS will deploy a 2.3 firmware is low. But, again, maybe they will surprise me.
[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
Ouch. Just saw this pop up on my newsfeed. As ViewSonic, what do you do now with all your early adopters? Do you offer to take back the units which were sold now that you are prematurely removing support and updates? Do you just write all those people off who bought your unit in November and are beyond their return window? Offer a trade-in allowance towards its successor?
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
S.O.L.

**** outa luck:D
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I don't know if you all remember, but the (Ipad) some problems when it came out also.

The difference seems to be the way that Apple vs. VS are reacting (dead silence for the latter), and how much leverage they have w/the resellers.

Just strange...

[G Tablet General] Reginhild:
Had to leave a comment on that crunchgear article. I believe the author is an apple fanboy with his statement "the first of the garbage tablets"...
[G Tablet General] bousquet:
Personally, this is part of the reason I paid for one of those accidental warranty extensions. Sears said that within two years I just need to call in and they'll send me the purchase price of the tablet (minus the warranty). So in a couple years regardless of what VS does, I still can get my money back. Basically a $50 lease for two years...
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Off topic:

LOL... Jeremy Clarkson is my hero. That poor excuse for Top Gear USA sucks hard! :D
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Viewsonic would have already killed/delayed the device if one hand knew what the other was doing. We are a very small percent of the Gtablets that are either sitting in a warehouse or in Christmas wrapping right now. The REAL fun kicks in on the 26th :eek:

I already posted and communicated to Viewsonic how they can manage damage control and PERHAPS turn this around. If they do not, Viewsonic's NA sales and operations planning meeting in the next few months will be "bloody". Tap UI dev will be dead to the business world and so probably will the marketing product management "team" for this device- IF they do not take proactive steps.

That said, if they dump most of the liability to the OEM and their proxy, VS may minimize their loss and simply shut shop on the product. Catch here will be their credibility in the tablet market will be destroyed.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
Glad I did the same. I have a way out if I need it. I think zPAD and VEGA will go on and that will be more than good enough for the life expectancy of this gadget anyway... Long live Roebeet...! :)
[G Tablet General] cdex:
Hope this come true.

"We will get s/w update out ASAP. We're also releasing the kernel this week. The gTablet should NEVER have been pulled."

[G Tablet General] Avatarbaali:
I'm the guy responsible for pulling merchandise that has been recalled and/or dropped from my sears store lineup. I've heard no such thing. We got a few more in just the other day. Viewsonic has been pretty good at keeping my store up to date too. They had shipped some inserts for the gtabs talking about the updates and whatnot that we put into all the boxes. I used to work for staples too back in the day and I always thought corp managers were too jumpy :p
[G Tablet General] Virtual Pariah:
This is good to know.

The internet grapevine is getting a little crazy with this one.

So far, the only company that has pulled it is Staples.

Sears has not.

Office Depot has not.

Amazon has it listed in stock through 4 different stores.

+1 for Handcent. I also like it because I can use inverse or dark colors (black background, slightly less dark text).

I'm a little frustrated.

It took me four hours to root my MT4G last night, and I'm still not entirely certain that it's rooted, though I do have Glacier 1.2 rom, which should by all accounts mean that yes it is indeed rooted.

I purchased both Ad-Terminator and Ad Blocker from SmartDog.

Neither worked as advertised. And aside from not being able to get refunds, I'm very frustrated, because I rooted the phone in part to get rid of the constant ads. I would much rather donate to the developers than get constant ads.

I haven't found anything in the MT4G forum about how to block ads, which means that I wasted $4.

I've found the hosts-file-for-android_2 zip and hosts.zip elsewhere on this forum, but it doesn't seem that the instructions are at all designed for people who aren't hack-root-vets.

I was one of the first G1 owners and I had my phone rooted within days of owning it, and had multiple Cyanogen mods loaded from time to time. This phone is entirely different, and to be honest I didn't really do much of the rooting myself--I always had tons of help from my buddy who thinks this stuff is easy.

He's got the Nexus S, and I've got the MT4G, so we don't have the same phone anymore, so everything is going to be different.

A little help with getting rid of ads, step by step if possible, would be very nice.

I only have Adfree and it supplies the host file you need. However my host file is continually overwritten by something. I have been unable to figure out what. So if you are having Ads after all those programs maybe you have a similar problem. I finally installed GScript Lite and created a script to write the good hosts file over the bad one. It's a tad annoying and I'll probably go to the Iced Glacier ROM eventually, but for now it works.
